Torre Bruno

Mamma Lucia’s dinner was outstanding. The olive oil that they produce is excellent.

Beautiful building; comfortable room; friendly and charming hosts; Lucia’s excellent cooking; delicious wine and olive oil; stunning location.

There is nothing to add. I cannot think of any negatives about Torre Bruno.

All bad

1. We arrived shortly before 3.00pm. the notified checking in time. Despite entering the building and also sounding the car horn it was not until 3.30 when a lady appeared which was after we’d phoned through and spoken to her son who let her know we’d arrived. There was no contact bell on the reception desk. 2. We parked in a gravel area behind the building, full of weeds, totally unkempt with just one battered car. There was no attraction in the garden with any attempt at plants or flowers. 3. The only sign of life, two cats with very evident advanced stages of mange and two dogs who were in serious need of grooming. 4. Finally into the property to find one of the steepest stone staircases (the height of the risers being about 50% greater than normal), no prior notice on the Booking.com website 5. Outside at the front of the property a small lawn with four tables, no umbrellas or sun shields. We had prebooked dinner, could we eat outside? No, the cats jump on the tables 6. My wife has been suffering from a chest infection and not eating. Today, we were charged €20 for the 4 squares of ravioli that she was served (at the lady’s insistence she suggested she tried to eat but I ended up having them myself). 7. In the room there were no glasses of any sort, glass, cardboard or plastic. The bathroom as basic as could be with minimum-sized plastic shower cubicle; there was no plug in the basin (just a gaping hole – don’t drop anything down into it!). 8. Shutters that have seen better days seemingly impossible to close so we had to call the owner who closed them for us 9. And then finally from this so called ‘wonder chef’ Breakfast consisted of a croissant, small piece of cake, two pre-wrapped butter pats and two tiny jars of jam, plastic portioned spreads. Any meat, cheese or eggs totally missing. Commercial fruit juice in a small bottle. A selection of fruit.

Lovely location in an olive yard. Lucia is a charming host and wonderful cook

Nothing

The hospitality and the food were great. We called to say that we are arriving late and the host was very accommodating. We liked the peace and quiet of the area.

Nothing comes to mind.

very interesting building, they have made a great job of restoring it , the dinner was fabulous

cannot think of anything to write here

Everything! The building itself has been professionally restored and is amazing inside and very comfortable. The property is set within 12 hectares of olive groves which you can explore - the views all around the land are incredible. The real star though is Lucia herself who produces incredible home cooked meals using ingredients only from the local area (and mostly from her own land). This place is a real gem and we will definitely be coming back!

Nothing - it was perfect.

Lovely agriturismo surrounded by their olive trees. Really excellent 4 course vegetarian dinner cooked for us with the local specialties. The room was perfect, comfy bed and nice views!

This is one of those unique places one looks for in a trip - an old house, scrupulously renovated, with vast green space around it and beautiful views. It's located in the midst of Gargano National Park, surrounded by nature. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is superb, and I recommend ordering dinner as well, as it's a great chance to try local cuisine. All meals are prepared from fresh produce, sourced locally, or even grown at the place.

picturesque, clean, beautiful farmhouse. the food (both dinner and breakfast) were delicious with local ingredients. and of course the olive oil from the olives trees on the property was amazing!! The proprietor was super welcoming and helpful. fantastic agriturismo stay!

nothing!
