Guest Reviews
- Luca (7/5): Bello ma non abbastanza curato - Posizione tranquilla e molto comoda per raggiungere le località più belle del Salento (Gallipoli, Porto Cesareo, Lecce, Otranto...)
Camera piuttosto grande e dotata di cucina, tutto sommato attrezzata in modo adeguato (forse mancava giusto un mestolo, ma va bene così)
Struttura di per sé bella e caratteristica, con un cortile interno davvero carino Il bagno non è adeguato, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la doccia: vecchia, con una tenda di chiusura brutta e molto poco igienica, e getto d'acqua debole. Non dava idea di pulizia accurata
Giardino privato esterno della camera potenzialmente molto bello, ma in stato di abbandono, con lampade rotte, ragnatele vecchie, vegetazione non curata
In generale c'era la sensazione che la struttura fosse vuota da settimane; valuto comunque l'esperienza in modo positivo, ma potrebbe essere molto meglio di così. Per il prezzo pagato può andare bene, ma non spenderei magari il 30-40% in più per andarci ad Agosto
- remi (8/5): Agréable mais sans accueil - L appartement décoration original
Les parties communes très propres Pas d 'accueil à part la maman du propriétaire que nous n'avons pas vu pas même lors de notre départ
Tout c'est passé par message WhatsApp
- Guest (10/5): - Il fatto di sentirsi come a casa, l’accoglienza e la tranquillità. È stato un soggiorno indimenticabile.
- Edoardo (10/5): Due settimane da favola in Salento - Io e la mia fidanzata abbiamo apprezzato molto la disponibilità dell'host Giacomo e della sua famiglia, tanto gentili quanto decisamente ospitali.
La Masseria Balsamo, per chi ha una macchina propria e/o noleggiata, si trova in una posizione strategica che permette di visitare la maggior parte delle spiagge e città salentine in appena mezz'ora d'auto. Avremmo forse preferito chiarire fin da subito i servizi disponibili e quelli non disponibili: ad esempio pur essendo indicata la carta igienica come servizio già incluso nel soggiorno all'interno della sezione "Servizi Inclusi" su Booking abbiamo comunque dovuto comprarla noi, il che non è un problema ma credo sia ottimale aggiornare la descrizione della struttura di modo da evitare future incomprensioni per i prossimi ospiti.
- Kathrin (10/5): Schöne Unterkunft mit zentraler Lage auf Salento - Es war schön kühl in der Unterkunft und sie war schön eingerichtet. Zentrale Lage, so dass man gut zu unterschiedlichen Orten mit dem Auto kommt. Parkplatz kostenlos und verfügbar. -
- Giorgia (10/5): Una chicca nel Salento - La masseria è una meraviglia di struttura, curata, pulita e silenziosa.
Giacomo e la sua famiglia sono stati molto accoglienti e disponibili per fornirci indicazioni e consigli su dove andare.
Si respira aria di famiglia e di tradizione.
Le camere sono ben curate e ben organizzate.
Posizione super strategica per raggiungere le diverse località di mare del Salento.
É stato un enorme piacere poter trascorrere le nostre vacanze in una struttura come questa!
Lo consigliamo senza ombra di dubbio! Tutto impeccabile
- Benedetta (10/5): Un’oasi arredata con gusto - La struttura è arredata davvero con gusto, ogni volta che rientravamo ci riempieva gli occhi in ogni dettaglio. Giacomo e sua mamma sono due padroni di casa gentilissimi, accoglienti e super disponibili.
- Jerome (10/5): Voyage en famille dans le Salento - La gentillesse, la disponibilité et la réactivité de Giacomo et de sa maman, le logement et l'extérieur (très agréable pour manger le soir après une chaude journée), l'esprit village de Collemeto avec son café et sa très bonne pizzeria et la gentillesse des gens, le parking juste en face de l'établissement. Collemeto n'est pas vraiment "à côté" des principaux points d'intérêt mais son emplacement central de dans le Salento permet de rayonner facilement vers les zones touristiques : Lecce, Galipolli, Otranto, Santa Maria : tout est à 50 min de voiture maximum, ce qui permet de rester plusieurs jours dans le village et ainsi profiter de la beauté de la région.
- Thibaut (10/5): - Nous avons passé un très bon séjour à Collemeto. Le logement est tres bien aménagé, dans un bâtiment rénové avec goût. Et l'accueil de Giacomo était très efficace. Le logement est vraiment bien situé pour visiter le Salento et les belles villes de Lecce, Nardo, Gallipoli,...
- Sofia (10/5): Semplicemente fantastico - Era tutto curato nei minimi dettagli. La zona comune fra le camere era molto accogliente e con una bellissima atmosfera. Giacomo è stato super disponibile e gentile! Purtroppo intorno non c’è molto da fare nel paesino, bisogna per forza spostarsi in macchina
- Argirovski (10/5): Hospitality and Charm at its Best - Our stay at Masseria Balsamo was magical—an elegant, authentic retreat in the heart of Puglia with cozy rooms, a private lemon-tree garden, and rich local character. Giacomo, our warm and knowledgeable host, made our experience unforgettable with spot-on recommendations and genuine hospitality. It’s the perfect base for exploring the region, especially for travelers and bikers seeking charm, culture and comfort. No such thing
- John (8/5): Very good - Room was large and had a private outside yard. Hosts were happy to help bring extra items for the kitchenette. Parking was easy. Good value accommodation for the price. There is not much to see in the town itself. The kitchenette was quite limited.
- Amer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandy (9/5): Superb -
- Eva (6/5): Pleasant - Creative and fun furniture, nice rom, modern bathroom A little moldy, super hard beds, week wifi, simple surroundings
- Lucia (9/5): Superb -
- Emily (10/5): Lovely stay! - The room was thoughtfully decorated and comfortable! It is centrally located for traveling around and touring Salento - Very convenient for the beaches in the area. Giacomo was a very helpful and attentive host!
- Gunnar (9/5): A very nice stay for a reasonable price - We had a great stay in Masseria Balsamo! Giacomo was an excellent host, very available and answering all questions/requests quickly. Super clean room and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you! Nothing really to complain about...
- Anca (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful masseria, with a gorgeous inner courtyard and stunning handmade furniture. GIACOMO, our host was very friendly, kind and hospitable. He accommodated all our requests and made us feel at home. The place is amazingly decorated and has so much character and charm. I highly recommend it.
- Michaela (10/5): Nice place to stay - What a nice place to stay - the yard & the room so beautifully decorated in a fusion of modern & old stuff, we absolutely loved it, quiet location, great for relax & good night sleep, very comfortable, kitchen well equipped & the host was super nice, recommended a lot of great places to eat that we tried & enjoyed. Highly recommended.
- Jan (10/5): Family, fantastic homemade food. - Fantastic , friendly family ... love to come again.
- Rosemary (9/5): Superb - Great communication with the hosts. Lovely entrance and well tended garden.
- Nora (10/5): Lovely stay - Big and nicely decoratet rooms. Host giacomo was nice and really there for us when we needed anything. There is a little kitchen with everything you need. Location is great because you are in the middle. So perfect to explore salento. A few more hooks in the bathroom would be nice.
- Julia (10/5): Absolutely recommendable stay for some peaceful days! - The family was amazing, very friendly and warm. The rooms were decorated with a lot of attention for detail and everything was clean and comfy. We had the "family dinner" which I'd totally recommend! Hearty italian homemade comfort food. Also, the atmosphere of the place was very peaceful and invited to relax. We'd definitely go again! :) It's not easy to reach, so you definitely need a car! But I wouldn't necessarily count that as a negative.
- Dudasz (9/5): Superb - Everything was perfect. Nice patio. The rooms are fine, nice decor. There is nothing to do in the city but if you are passing by its a good place to stay.
- Nuria (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing and quiet room recently renewed.
- Fabiana (10/5): Masseria is a wonderful place. Very comfortable and Giacomo wad always willing to help us. I would definitely return. -
- Lisa (10/5): Loved the apartment, clean, comfortable beds. PERFECT !! - Beautiful, what an amazing find.
Everything was perfect, the location is right in the middle of Pulia, lovely clean beaches within a 20 min drive, places of interest within 30/60 min.
We wished we would of stayed here the full 7 days.
The family who run the apartments are the loveliest people.
The furniture is beautifully hand made and is done within the theme of each room.
Contact throughout checking in/out was done by what’s app, which is a great feature.
I can’t recommend this place enough. Nothing
- Taja (10/5): A place to come back - Amazing place in the quiet suburban area of Puglia. We loved the traditional decor and the equipted kitchen. Spacious room with a small private courtyard.
- Emese (10/5): Amazing place with wonderful hosts. - If you want to have a wonderful stay in Puglia, the choice is easy. Stay here and you will be treated like a friend or family.Giacomo and his parents are wonderful hosts,they put their heart and soul to making this place wonderful.The place is very authentic,with georgeous details.The furniture and the decoration are hand made by the family.There are 3 apartments,representing the land,the sea and the wind.We were offered local specialties,like a surprise pasticciotto breakfast and we tasted the wonderful dinner of Mrs. Donatella. The masseria is located in a small town close to Lecce and Gallipoli and close to the most beautiful beaches in Salento.The room is very spacious and the bed is comfortable.There is a small kitchen and a full size fridge well.The bathroom is very nice as well,with a big shower. You can have breakfast in the garden,while watching the decorations. There is nothing we didn't like,this place is amazing.
- Andrei (10/5): Perfect place to stay, for a round trip in Salento - The location is nice, in a small village where you get anything you need for a peaceful stay; cafe, shop, restaurants, ATM. Cristina is a very nice host and her staff very friendly (even speaking romanian). The accomodation is as you see it in the pictures, no discrepancies. If you travel by car, don't stay in big cities around, like Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto, Santa Maria de Leuca or Maglie, use the opportunity to take advantage of such a calm and warm accomodation and by day travel all around, every important place beeing 30 minutes away. No additional fees for parking. I would get back to this place anytime i visit Salento. Mille grazie, Cristina & Elena! Nothing to be mentioned.
