Guest Reviews
- Patricia (9/5): Séjour extraordinaire une parenthèse nature très reposante - Les repas étaient parfait surtout le dîner vraiment gastronomique et très très bon rapport qualité prix personnel exceptionnel vraiment au petit soin
- 371cecilia (10/5): Wonderful oasis near a gorgeous beach - We appreciated the helpful staff, spacious room, lovely grounds, ample breakfast, inviting pool and the ability to walk to a gorgeous beach. Dinner was very artistic and special.
- paolo (9/5): Bello e rilassante - La camera, la posizione, la colazione e soprattutto la gentilezza Nulla
- daviddF3986QQ (8/5): One night in Otranto - Great staff, excellent room (with private courtyard), good breakfast and nice property.
- 438dannisk (10/5): Amazing and pleassant stay - We had an amazing stay at the Mongio Elephant Farm. Service was great, Accomadation super clean. Staff was super helfull. We would highly recommend this to friends and family.
- Mike Hibbert (9/5): Beautiful hotel, pleasant staff and lovely food! - The Hotel is located in the countryside just outside Otranto only 5 minutes walk from the beach. The hotel is only 10 years old and is well maintained. The food was excellent. The breakfast is a large buffet with lots of choice. They offered a free welcome dinner which was also delicious and we also ate at the hotel another night which was also excellent. Small issue with the showers in our appt. One was generally hot and the other generally cool. temperature control did not work. We reported to the staff.
- Patricia (9/5): exceptionnel - nous avons passé un excellent séjour, calme et ressourçant. L’endroit est magnifique, nous avons tout aimé la zone piscine, la chambre avec un petit espace cuisine, le sauna privatif, la plage à 5 minutes à pied, à travers la campagne et la pinède. le petit déjeuner est très varié (sucré - salé). Nous l’avons adoré . nous avons pris deux fois le repas du soir qui était délicieux. que dire du personnel, spécialement Valentina et Ivan d’une extrême gentillesse et très serviable. nous avons tout aimé et il n’y a vraiment rien que nous puissions dire de négatif.

- Rodney (10/5): -
- carlo (10/5): - Bellissima posizione in mezzo alla natura. Siamo rimasti sorpresi dall’ampiezza degli spazi esterni, dalla cordialità del personale e dall’ottima cucina. Splendida la passeggiata verso Baia dei Turchi, pochi minuti per raggiungere una delle più incantevoli spiagge del litorale di Ottanto.
- Valentina (10/5): - La struttura è molto bella ed elegante, immersa nel verde e vicinissima alla splendida Baia dei Turchi. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile. La camera è molto accogliente e pulitissima. Struttura consigliatissima!
- Margit (9/5): angenehm und erholsam - Sehr ruhige Lage, ein schöner Pool, schöne Frühstücksterrasse es hat alles gepasst
- Alexandra (8/5): - Schönes, gut ausgestattetes Zimmer , Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sehr schöne und gepflegte Anlage. Frühstücksbuffet befindet sich im Keller, gegessen wird aber auf der Terrasse.
- Monique Knapen-Seijkens (9/5): Heerlijke kleinschalige buitenplaats met fijne voorzieningen, prachtige kamers en een goede keuken. - lokatie was prachtig - gunstig gelegen aan zee en niet ver van het mooie plaatsje Otranto. Zwembad is groot (20 meter) - er zijn gratis goede fietsen ter beschikking. Er is een goede keuken waar elke avond een ander menu wordt gekookt. We kregen een welkomstdiner en een fles wijn mee naar huis (hadden we niet op gerekend!) en o ja ze hebben ook een wellness room - super mooi en fijn. Sauna - turks stoombad en nog meer - nog meer uitleg over de historische achtergrond van deze plek - nu lijkt het nieuwbouw, maar dat is het niet. misschien ook een speeltuintje voor de kinderen?
- ANDREA (10/5): Relax autunnale - Bellissima posizione vicino alla splendida Baia dei Turchi. Ottima colazione. Grandi spazi verdi. La Spa in esclusiva Nulla
- Giuseppe (10/5): la vacanza ideale - la pulizia, la pace, la vista, i profumi, il cibo, il garbo e la discrezione del personale, la simpatia del proprietario
- LUCA (10/5): Esperienza unica - Una masseria meravigliosa, curata nei particolari, offre spazi incantevoli, un' atmosfera di totale relax in un contesto naturalistico unico. Il personale è estremamente gentile e disponibile, attento ad ogni esigenza del cliente. Consigliatissima
- Claudia (9/5): Perfekt, werde die Masseria wieder buchen - Die wunderschöne Gartenanlage, traumhaft!
- Marion (10/5): - Wir hatten wunderschöne 7 Tage in der Masseria Mongio dell‘ Elefante verbracht und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Zimmer und Einrichtung insgesamt ist sehr geschmackvoll. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und das Abendessen ausgezeichnet. Auch als Vegetarier ist das Menu am Abend hervorragend. Die Lage der Masseria ist ein Traum, keine 5 Minuten vom Meer entfernt. Die Anlage ist sehr idyllisch angelegt mit vielen Zitrusbäumen, großen Feigenkakteen und vielen Wandelröschensträuchern. Toller Pool mit ausreichend Liegemöglichkeiten. Wir können die Masseria sehr empfehlen und kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder.
- Simon (9/5): - Proximity to nice beach. Great pool and very attentive staff
- Dennis Jan (8/5): Fantastisch - Goed ingericht Zwembad te koud
- Paolo (10/5): Fantastico. - Quello che mi è piaciuto di più di questa masseria è la vicinanza al mare ed il contesto naturalistico. Durante il soggiorno ho potuto effettuare lunghe passeggiate nella campagna o in riva al mare partendo direttamente dalla mia camera. Fantastico! Il ristorante offre un menù del giorno molto gustoso ed una buona prima colazione. Ci tornerò. Nulla
- kylarbryant (10/5): Lovely hidden boutique resort - The property and facilities are beautiful. The staff is lovely and very accommodating. The restaurant offered delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. The pool area is lovely. The location is a quick 10 minute drive to the historical and charming town of Otronto.
- Keely (2/5): Not worth the expensive price - This property was so overpriced. There are many properties for half the price with better location. The food for dinner was really bad.
- lynamc (10/5): Comfortable & friendly with amazing food and service - We were delighted to get an Email from the masseria when we landed at Brindisi airport. Apparently we wouldn’t make dinner that night but would we like a snack delivered to our room? That is attention to detail and it set the tone for our 10 night stay in mid-September. After a 50 minute transfer arranged by the masseria we were warmly greeted by Sophia and guided to our accommodation. Waiting for us was a Caprese salad, some cheese and a very nice bottle of primitivo red. Our suite was called Alimini and consisted of a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom. It’s in the main building beside the restaurant. They’ve gone for the bare aesthetic, no decoration or ornamentation except wood and stone. I like it, especially the floors which are polished local limestone. They’re a beautiful cream colour and cool underfoot. The walls were 50-60 cms thick and this also helps keep the rooms cool. Both the living room and bedroom had double doors out into a small garden area. It was a nice suite, not overly large but comfortable. The bed was quite firm a duvet under the fitted sheet helped enormously. There’s a small kitchen unit in a cupboard. It has 2 cooking rings, a sink and all the pots and pans you might need to do some light cooking. I’m not sure why one would use this given the wonderful food (see below). We thought the bathroom (1.5m square) rather small and the shower a bit dark and with a narrow 30-35cm entrance. I’m not sure the shower doors are necessary really as the shower was probably 1-2m deep. There was a set of bare stone stairs right over the bed and we were occasionally woken by people going up and down, sometimes very late at night. These are minor inconveniences to be fair but there it is. The electricity in the room is activated by the door entry card. Presumably to stop wasted energy but it made charging devices reliant on our presence in the room. So, bring enough chargers to charge everything simultaneously, we hadn’t. This made it a bit tricky juggling charges and adaptors. The bedroom air conditioning temperature was limited to 24C which was fine but this is something we’ve never encountered anywhere else. Again I imagine this is to conserve energy. It did not inconvenience us but it seemed odd. The gardens are very pleasant, well laid out and beautifully maintained. Some fairy lights might be nice, but that’s a very personal thing. I always say there’s very little in life that can’t be improved by fairy lights! There was a little automated lawn mower that we nicknamed Marvin. He looked a little lonely pottering around but so dedicated to his sisyphean task. The restaurant and the terrace are on the ground level and you go down some curving stairs to the Reception, Spa and breakfast room. i.e. under the restaurant/terrace. People generally collected their breakfast and brought it back upstairs to eat in the morning light but we opted to avoid that and simply ate at one of the tables downstairs. There’s the normal range of breakfast items one would expect. Cereal, toast, cheese, meats, fruit, yoghurts. Eggs & bacon to order. All the coffee you can drink in every variety. We had use of the Spa as part of our package but we didn’t get around to it. The massage menu is quite extensive and we would usually have at least one massage but we simply didn’t bother. Maybe another time. The pool is spectacular. We spent pretty much every day there, often on our own or sometimes with a few other people scattered around. It tended to get busier in the late afternoon as people returned from exploring. The water was absolutely beautiful, wonderfully clear and the temperature very temperate for the end of the season. There’s a 2m wide shallow ledge running the length of the pool, lovely for lolling about on and kids love it. Shade is a bit limited. The bamboo covered gazebos do not provide complete shade but the big umbrellas are much better. We thought the one on the far right as you enter the best one. Service is via WhatsApp and amazingly quick. We went down to the Beach one day but aside from that we didn’t. It was quite busy and looked lovely. We’re more pool people so after our initial exploration we gave it a miss. The other guests were mostly couples, some small families and one very large rambunctious group. The latter tended to take over the pool in the afternoons. Guests were predominantly from Italy, UK & Northern Europe. Some Canadians and Americans. Most stayed a few days only, some for 5 or 6 nights a few for longer. One couple had stayed for 3 weeks. We met some really terrific people and had some great conversations. We were on half board and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food here is *absolutely* amazing, - mostly fish and all great. It’s very hard to pick out favourites from the ever changing menus but we especially liked the carpaccio, all the swordfish dishes (e.g. bombette & gratin) and all the fresh pasta dishes. We had a trofie dish for lunch which was a yellow tomato sauce with capers, olives, stracciatella, speck and basil which I’m still dreaming about. The desserts were fabulous, especially the Chocolate Fondant and the layered ice cream dessert (spumoni?). The menu changed daily and I don’t think we had any repetition (maybe swordfish gratin). That’s very impressive for lunch & dinner for 10 days! The wine list is small and good. Everything we tried was great. Some of Italy’s best wines come from Puglia and this was very evident here. There’s no bar but guests are welcome to sit on the terrace beside the restaurant and order drinks from reception. We did this every evening. We took taxis to local restaurants and into Otranto. The latter is well worth a visit, especially to see the beautiful mosaic floor in the Byzantine Basilica San Pietro. I know weather is unpredictable but we had the most beautiful days here, bright clear sunshine filled days. Occasionally some cloud but not a lot really. A cooling breeze. The temperature was perfect 24-27C, cooler at night. September in beautiful Puglia, what’s not to like. The staff were terrific. Everyone was so lovely, welcoming and super efficient. We didn’t catch too many names but we saw Giovanni, Ivan, Martina, Sophia & Valentina often. The pool guys, garden, housekeeping, the house, kitchen & restaurant staff, everyone - thank you all for looking after us so well. We had a terrific break here and we were very sad to leave. We would definitely stay here again though perhaps in a different room.
- Hanna (10/5): - Wir hatten Räder dabei, aber es stehen auch Räder gratis zur Verfügung, die sind sogar ganz gut in Schuss. Otranto ist über eine Art Radweg gut erreichbar, auch abends. Das Personal war super. Frühstück war prima, Abendessen lohnt sich. Der Pfad zum schönen Strand ist leider vermüllt. Als wir dort waren, wurde in dem Waldgebiet intensiv gearbeitet, aber mal was mitgenommen hat leider niemand. Schade auch um den eigentlich idyllischen Weg. Liegt aber nicht in der Verantwortung der Masseria.
- Simon (10/5): - Staff were lovely, all super comfortable and clean - very short walk to spectacular rocky outcrop jutting into the sea from which to watch the sunrise. Borrowing the bikes and cycling into Otranto was fun.
- U7441CFandrewf (10/5): Great simple ambience, super food, ace staff, super pool - Breakfast and dinner both very nearly perfect. Cakes at breakfast need to be more moist, and bread is not as exciting as might be. Liked the staff a lot. Very fond of the ambience of the plain white unfussy masseria itself. Swimming pool couldn’t be much better especially for a rubbish swimmer.
- Exploration710180 (10/5): Natural beauty - This is a true haven of warm hospitality, comfortable accommodation, delicious food and beautiful pool within a 10 minute walk of the beach. We enjoyed 2 nights here during our visit to Apulia. Thank you to all the staff for making it such a lovely stay. If you are lucky enough to visit Otranto, don't hesitate in booking Masseria.
- dany_F (10/5): - Lugar soñado Cerca de la mejor playa de la zona No aplica
- Luc Mayer (5/5): - La struttura ha un ottimo potenziale, ma ci sono diversi aspetti che andrebbero migliorati. Il letto a molle non è stato confortevole e non ci ha permesso di riposare bene. Le docce avrebbero bisogno di manutenzione, con le guarnizioni da sostituire perché presentano segni di muffa. Inoltre, la mattina molto presto siamo stati svegliati dai rumori delle pulizie nelle camere vicine, con colpi di scopa e spostamenti che si sentivano chiaramente. Lo staff, comunque, è stato molto gentile e disponibile, ma la struttura necessita di riammodernamenti e di maggiore cura nei dettagli per essere all’altezza del suo potenziale.
- Happiness566923 (10/5): A lovely, relaxed, well located stay - Ivan and the team were fantastic. Very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The masseria is well located near a lovely sandy beach (easily walkable), the use of the bikes to travel into Otranto was great, the pool was amazing, the dinner we had was delicious, and the breakfasts had a great selection. I would definitely recommend.
- Selena (10/5): Amazing Masseria close to key activities. - Excellent location. Short walk to beach. Short bicycle ride to Otranto. Phenomenal pool and bar service. Bikes need to be maintained.
- Paolo (9/5): -
- 188callumw (10/5): Perfect Puglia - Wonderful stay. Great staff. Fantastic location. A perfect spot for exploring Puglia. Highly recommended Masseria.
- Erna (9/5): -
- X485AIcharlotter (10/5): As relaxing and typically Apulian as it gets! - We loved our week at the Masseria Mongio. The staff are so accommodating and super efficient. The location is idyllic so near to the beautiful beach of Baia Di Turchi, a very popular spot for locals so it was very busy during our stay. The pool provides a refreshing dip after a morning at the beach with an aperitivo. The food was also a highlight, 4 course typical Apulian cuisine with delicious local wine and very reasonably priced. Our family suite was comfortable and the little kitchenette was very useful for keeping our hungry teenagers fed and watered! There is so much to see and do locally, Otranto is stunning and Lecce and hours drive. We need to come back to do the things we didn’t get to like a boat trip around some of the grottos and wine tasting. We would highly recommend a family holiday, or couples get away.
- Guilherme (10/5): Wonderful experience - The Masseria is a perfect choice. The location offers you a wonderful Walk distance Beach (Baia Dei Turchi, which is one of the nicest in the region). If you wish to explore other Beaches in Salento, it is also very easy to drive for it without trouble. The Food menus in the night was a Nice surprise, offering a gastronomic immersion on the region tastes. Really recommended. But it you choose, adaptations can also be done to fit all tastes. Finally, i want to share a few words about Valentina. She helped us on all needs we had, and was always open to talk and explain about our curiosities on the region. It was nice to feel we had a friend to learn from in the staff.
- Kathleen (6/5): - Great location The beds are so uncomfortable and hard with awful hard pillows.
- Discover47696538186 (8/5): Pleasant stay - We stayed at this Masseria for 5 nights. The rooms are clean and a good size, we had a lovely balcony with a beautiful view. Ivan and all the staff were super helpful - they could not do enough. From recommending restaurants to helping with bookings they went above and beyond. I would say that the breakfast needs work.
- Christa (8/5): Unser Aufenthalt uns sehr gefallen. Italianità👍 - Ruhige, idyllische Anlage samt schönem, grosszügigem Schwimmbecken. Auch die Kinder können sich hier tummeln. sehr aufmersames Personal - gerade auch das Zimmerpersonal! Gratisvelos in anständigem Zustsnd. Feines, typisch regionales Essen. Das Wetter natürlich wunderbar und dann das Meer…! Die Zufahrt zur Masseria ist abenteuerlich und nicht wirklich gut unterhalten. Die Weinkarte ist sehr einfsch gehalten. Keine Liegestühle und Sonnenschirme am Meer für Hotelgäste.
- Cosmopolitan179501 (8/5): - Stunning location, wonderfully peaceful getaway. The food was delicious, although it would be nice to have a choice in each course. The staff were really attentive, our room was spacious and well equipped.
- Sonja (8/5): -
- Laure (10/5): Magnifique expérience - L’emplacement , le personnel, le restaurant, les massages… Rien
- 149elisabethr (10/5): 5th visit and plan more...... - This was our 5th visit and it was just as good as we remembered and expected. The staff are delightful and really put themselves out to make sure that everything is right for each guest. The rooms are clean, well equipped and comfortable and each has a private outside sitting area. The food is delicious and special dietary requirements are catered for without any fuss. The setting is lovely - the Masseria is on a quiet plot and is a 10 minute walk through woods to a beautiful beach. There is a big swimming pool with plenty of seating and shade around it. Many places in Puglia are within an hours drive - but there is really no need to go anywhere else!
- E911ECkatieb (10/5): Beautiful masseria - Beautiful hotel, first class room, amazing grounds and pool, food is delicious, fresh and home cooked, but with a modern twist, all the staff are extremely helpful.and friendly. Glorious beach a short walk away and a lovely bike ride to Otranto. We would definitely recommend a stay here.
- 334rossellam (4/5): Great potential, but several aspects need improvement! - We stayed at this property during a trip to Salento, drawn by the charm of the masseria and its good location not far from the sea. The staff was friendly and pleasant, the breakfast well-stocked, with a good selection of pastries, and the rooms were spacious, welcoming, and clean. However, several aspects left us disappointed. Upon arrival, we felt a bit lost: the reception is located under a staircase, and no one is visibly present to welcome guests, which created a sense of confusion. Our room was on the first floor, accessible only by climbing about twenty steps. We asked for help with our luggage, and a kind young woman from the staff tried to find someone to assist us. A man eventually arrived, but only after some time — by then, my husband had already carried everything upstairs by himself. Another critical issue was the air conditioning system, which was centrally controlled and fixed at 77°F, with no way to lower it. Given the high temperatures in June in southern Italy, the room was extremely hot. To make matters worse, every time we opened a door or window, the A/C would shut off automatically. No one explained this to us, so we had to call several times, thinking the system was broken. Coming back from dinner to a hot room with no air was very frustrating. The pool area also lacked supervision: there was no staff member available to ask for towels, and we had to look around for someone, often without success. Lastly, the breakfast buffet is located in the same under-stair area as the reception, meaning you have to carry your tray, plate, and water glass up the stairs, open a door, and walk out to the outdoor seating area. Not exactly the relaxing start to the day one expects from a charming masseria. In conclusion, the property has great potential, with a nice atmosphere and a convenient location, but it lacks attention to service and hospitality, especially for guests traveling with luggage or expecting real comfort in summer.
- 283alisonp (10/5): A perfect, relaxing holiday - This is the 3rd year we have stayed in this fantastic hotel. The rooms are a good size and scrupulously clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the location is perfect to explore Otranto and the southern tip of Puglia. Finally the food is gorgeous, we planned to eat in the restaurant a couple of times but ended up there nine out of the ten nights!! We’ll definitely be back.
- David (9/5): Superb -
- JenniferC1356 (10/5): a perfect getaway - everything was so lovely here. The trip took some unexpected turns, like a hospital visit, and the staff was just wonderful - from getting us to the hospital, checking on us to make sure we were ok, to translating the doctor's instructions. The food was fantastic, fresh, beautifully presented, and accompanied by wonderful local wine. The pool was spotless, the beach was just a short walk away and a wonderful place to swim daily. The room was ideal, clean, well designed, not ostentatious but every aspect was done well. we will definitely return!
- Mark (9/5): Excellent location with fantastic staff. - The property was very well managed, all the staff were very friendly and helpful. It felt very relaxed and calm. The food was of a very high standard and well priced. It was a very short walk to the beach and well positioned for sightseeing by car. The room could have been more comfortable with some better self catering facilities. Our shower was too small.
- Ann (10/5): The staff were so kind and wonderful. When we stayed there it was my birthday and they left us a bottle of champagne in - Close to the seashore and you can walk very far along the beach. The pool was very nice and we had a wonderful suite that was separate from the main property with lots of space and a lovely patio
- Nicolas (9/5): Superb - A beautifull place, just near a beautifull beach. The breakfirst is fabulous. The team is so good... We enjoy the 3 days
- surfchick56 (10/5): A beautiful place! - We had a beautiful stay. The location is stunning and the staff are so helpful and kind. We loved the spa and the food! The beach is walkable and bikes are available if you want to go a bit further a field. The pool was clean and there were plenty of beds. Thanks for everything !
- Yumurat (10/5): Gorgeous location, perfect for families - We stayed in this place for one full week as a family with two little kids (2.5 and 7 y.o.). It’s a tasteful boutique hotel with only a few rooms, located in a peaceful and gorgeous setting. Kids were happy on a very kids friendly and beautiful beach, and in an indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The indoor pool is part of a spa area which needs to be booked in advance by the hour, and it’s at a small charge. The beach is a short walk away through gorgeous nature. We also spent some time in the nearby town of Otranto which has nice restaurants and bars (5 min drive) and visited beautiful Lecce (45 min drive). If I could suggest anything to the management of the hotel is perhaps consider creating a tasteful (made of wood) outdoor play area for kids, as most visitors were families with small children.
- Tetyana (10/5): Marvellous. - Good energy from the staff, very nice location, excellent food. Hospitality above and beyond: welcome gift of wine and local ceramics; free dinner on the night of the arrival; free use of spa for an hour. A very nice beach just steps away. Free bikes to use at your leasure. An absolute gem of a place. Nothing to report here.
- S8472IHjohnw (10/5): Location, location, location! - The beach is spectacularly beautiful. Under blue.October skies with 23C it was empty. Disregard comments on the difficulty of the path- explore further and it’s easy to arrive on the beach. Otranto is charming, don’t miss the small church of St Peter with its 9th century Byzantine frescoes. The location of Mongio is excellent for both, and the pool is large and lovely. I do need to make clear that the masseria has a nice outside terrace for dinner, lunch and breakfast. The breakfast display is downstairs, understandably to keep it fresh. To call this area a “basement" is technically accurate, but it's a large open area and very pleasant- some comments in TA are somewhat misleading. Rooms are comfortable and clean and well maintained if lacking a little charm. The food offering is very good, and the wine a real find and at very reasonable price. The entire team are friendly and helpful, if you have a question just ask. But come for the location, <10 minutes drive from Otranto, in the middle of nature, no developments, no high rise, and the most beautiful beach.
- Glenn (8/5): I felt very looked after by the lovely staff. - The staff and the food The restaurant lacked atmosphere at dinner. Perhaps lower lighting and a bit of music might help.
- Taidg05 (10/5): A Sanctuary - Our 3rd visit. Twice last year & now again this year. We love Masseria Mongiò dell’Elefante! A 10 minute walk through pine trees to the beach Baia dei Turchi or a lounge by & a swim in the Pool. Fantastic locally sourced Dinner in, or a couple of really nice restaurants locally near by. Last but not least, just wonderful Hosts, Ivan, Maria, Salvatore, Giovanni, Vincenzo et all.
- 885cb (6/5): Poorly designed hotel in places but great staff and location - We were really pleased with the warm welcome we received from Ivan on arrival. There were some lovely welcoming touches such as a ceramic gift and letter from the owners, a local bottle of wine and a complimentary first night dinner. Parking was easy and our first east-facing suite had an open aspect and felt light and airy. We loved the simple and authentic decor of the hotel. The nearby beach is fabulous and after a few hundred meters walk you can either scramble down the rocks or continue on the path to the center of the bay and walk down a wooden ramp onto the sand. We stayed in three different rooms over the course of a week and the bed comfort differed hugely between rooms. All smelled strongly of damp, especially inside the wardrobes. The junior suite had some major design flaws. Regardless of the price of the hotel one would not expect the adjacent room’s bathroom window to open onto their small private terrace. From the terrace there was no escape from the sounds and smells of our neighbours. The window was within 2 meters of the only chairs for the room. We were also bitten badly during the day on this terrace (before our neighbours opened their bathroom window and put us off sitting on the terrace altogether). The pros: The very friendly staff Location for access to the gorgeous beach and the local town of Otranto. Bicycles were great and were well maintained Beautiful clean pool Delicious breakfast The large east-facing suite Cons: Poor design for a comfortable stay. The only indoor chairs in the suites are hard stools. No indoor chairs in the junior suite. Bed comfort varied hugely between rooms. One mattress was so hard that I had to lay towels on it. There is nowhere comfortable to sit in the evening, only the dining chairs in the restaurant or the unpadded pool loungers A very strong smell of mould in the wardrobes. Proximity of the west facing rooms to the high hedges of the neighbouring property cause the outdoor terrace to be dark and damp and attract mosquitos / biting flies day and night. Bathroom window of the adjacent room opened directly onto our terrace and the only seating area of the room. Room doors close and lock themselves behind you easily, so asking reception for additional keys is commonplace. Movement sensor light in the bedroom that flashed brightly on and off during the night. The location is remote if you don't have a car. There were no towels available at the pool during our stay so you have to ask at reception every time. The price of the rooms. I really wanted to like this place but the lack of comfort and in particular being subjected to our neighbours bathroom habits was too much. I was pleased to leave.
- Claire (6/5): Uncomfortable hotel with a super location - The location for access to the gorgeous beach and the local town of Otranto. Bicycles, the pool, breakfast, the staff. The large east facing suite where we stayed on our first night. Poor design for a comfortable stay. The only indoor chairs in the suites are hard stools. No indoor chairs in the junior suite. Bed comfort varied hugely between rooms. One mattress was so hard that I had to lay towels on it. There is nowhere comfortable to sit in the evening only the dining chairs in the restaurant or the unpadded pool sunbed loungers A very strong smell of mould in the wardrobes. Proximity of the west facing rooms to the high hedges of the neighbouring property cause the outdoor terrace to be dark and damp and attract mosquitos / biting flies day and night. There is a green algae on the terrace from the damp conditions. The bathroom window of the adjacent room opened directly onto our terrace so we could hear every bathroom activity of our neighbours. The room doors close and lock themselves behind you easily, so asking reception for additional keys is commonplace. A newly renovated room had a bright movement sensor light that came on constantly during the night. The location is a little remote particularly if you don’t have a car. There were no towels available at the pool during our stay so you have to ask at reception.
- Dimitrinka (10/5): Exceptional - The property is very close to the beach, 5 min walk, and the beach is magic. In case you don't want to walk, there is a beautiful very clean pool. Excellent breakfast. Nice and helpful staff. The restaurant offers extraordinary gourmet dinner. This is the right place for a week sea vacation! Next time we definitely do it.
- Michelle (10/5): Excellent - very sad to be leaving this beautiful place - The staff were fantastic, they really wanted us to have the best time and went out of their way to look after us. Food was amazing. Room and pool were lovely. So close to the most beautiful beach. Just loved it all! Perhaps a toilet near to the pool would have been nice.
- Rob (10/5): Exceptional - The location is perfect so close to the beach and the Masseria facilities are exceptional, staff are friendly and evening set course menus changed daily and were very good. Excellent wine list to choose from sldo
- Marina (9/5): Highly recommend this masseria - Hospitality, service, staff are superb! Location is excellent in walking distance from the beach. They provide beach towels and umbrella if you ask, so you don’t have to pay for it. Big pool and nice well tended garden. Rooms are simple but have everything you need. Bottle of vine is complimentary as well as the first dinner in Masseria. Spa is reserved for one hour for the room , it has a great steam room and strong hydro massage pool. We booked it twice and enjoyed it very much!
- Monica (8/5): - Pool is amazing very clean, room was great, staff was great. Breakfast was a bit weird and with just a little more this place could be amazing. Overall very happy with our stay.
- Jennifer (8/5): Great location, free bikes and lovely pool - Good location close to the beach and only 5km from Otranto. We appreciated the free bikes to use to ride into town. Beautiful pool which never felt crowded. The one dinner we ate in the hotel was very good and we enjoyed all 4 courses. The only reason we didn’t eat there more was because Otranto is so beautiful at night! Lovely shaded seating areas by the room both front and back. Big sitting room and decent sized fridge. Good coffee at breakfast. Staff very helpful and friendly and organised early breakfast for us at 6.30 on our last day as we needed to head off to the airport before normal breakfast hours. Feels family run and personal. Room (Alloro suite) persistently smelled damp despite the air exchanger. Bathroom felt rather cramped with fairly tiny shower. A few aspects of the room needed a bit of maintenance - the bin in the kitchen area was broken and the cupboard door scraped on the floor. The bedroom layout was a bit cramped with the location of the wardrobe and four poster bed. Safe too small for an iPad or even my travel wallet.
- Yuliya (10/5): Cozy, welcoming and stunning. - It’s a serene agricultural landscape with beautiful views. 10 minute walk to the sea coast with sand beaches. There is nothing that really stood out, I think it’s great.
- Karla (10/5): Perfect location, close to beach and to town. - Beautiful room on a peaceful and quiet property. 10' walk to Bahia dei Turchi beach, very short drive to the beautiful town of Otranto. We also enjoyed the complimentary 1 hour in the spa/sauna.
- Kathryn (10/5): An oasis in paradise - Staff were incredibly helpful. The location is wonderful - Baia di Turchi is stunning and only a few minute walk away. The food served for breakfast lunch and dinner was delicious! Nothing!
- C. (9/5): Superb -
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Gorgeous property, walking distance to the beach with delicious breakfast!
- Patrick (9/5): Perfect Beach location and for exploring Southern Puglia - Great pool, beautiful beach nearby. Food was excellent, friendly and helpful staff Noisy neighbours
- Stefany (8/5): Relaxing lovely and peaceful - Lovely concierge service. Very quiet and comfortable room. Slept great and beautiful setting. Close to a great beach and wonderful pool! Nothing
- Rory (10/5): Exceptional -
- Natalie (9/5): A beautiful place to spend a relaxing time in Puglia! - The location of this property is the best thing about it - 5 minute stroll through a forest area to a lovely secluded beach with beautiful clear water, and a short drive to Otranto. The property also provides bikes for free which is a great way to reach Otranto in 20 mins. The pool area is also amazing - quiet and surrounded by nature. Staff are all very welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast was varied with local produce. We were lucky enough to receive a welcome dinner at the hotel (a lovely touch), a traditional Italian meal, 4 courses with a variety of fish available, which we rated highly. The appartment itself was immaculate with everything you need for your stay. With the grounds being so beautiful we would have appreciated some different areas to sit and enjoy. The restaurant area itself could be improved upon as it is missing some charm and atmosphere.
- Anonymous (9/5): Really enjoyed our stay, the staff were great & the location was very peaceful! - A wonderful, peaceful location close to the beach! Lots of stairs in the room!
- Rosa (10/5): Magical - Amazing pool and beautiful pear cacti. So close to the beach, wonderful bike ride into Otranto. The food was amazing. Everyone was so nice. Very relaxing.
- Ollie (8/5): Great location near to Beach - Location was close to beach and the staff were friendly and helpful The moisture staunch in the room
- Moisin (10/5): Thank you so much Masseria Mongio dell’Elefante team for making the beginning of our holiday a dream! - The services at Masseria Mongio dell’Elefante were exceptional. The entire team was very attentive and extremely helpful for the duration of our stay. We we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and could not ask for a better stay. The pool and spa are very well looked after and the beach is a short walk away. The only slight downside is that the room is on the smaller side, but we didn’t mind at all.
- Patricia (9/5): Ideal! - The staff, facilities, pool and dining experiences were fabulous. The facials we had by L'Essenza in the spa area were exquisite!! Will definitely return. I was travelling with my 80 year old aunt and the 300m to beach was not accurate. It was 300m to see the sea but then you needed to be a mountain goat to access the sea!!
- Libardoni (9/5): Superb -
- Juan (10/5): Excellent location in beautiful Puglia. - Breakfast was very good. Excellent location, 15 minutes walking to Baia Di Turchi beach. Excellent beach. Excellent pool. Different holiday style, more Italian. Beautiful attractions 20 minutes by car north and south. Nice dinners. Nothing.
- Raphael (8/5): Very good -
- Roman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carl (10/5): We would highly recommend this hotel for its wonderful, friendly staff, design & location! - The location of the property is perfect as the most beautiful beach is an easy 5 minute walk and 10 minute drive to Otranto town which was really great. The design of the masseria is beautiful and modern while in keeping with the spirit of a farm and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. The breakfast assortment was delicious and we liked that you could order eggs to your preference. The staff were so friendly and special call out to Maria and Francesca for all their help with restaurant suggestions and reservations. The pool is enormous and so inviting. We liked it all.
- Christine (10/5): A hop skip and a jump from Baia dei Turchi - As beach lovers we were happy with the proximity of Baia dei Turchi to accommodation. Staff were great. Rooms clean and spacious. Accommodates young families as well. Pool are and dining experience lovely.
- Stuart (10/5): Outstanding location for a holiday with a quick walk to the beach. Fantastic service by all the staff and who would alwa - Great location to the beach, very well kept. Great rooms with plenty space to relax. Pool area was outstanding.
- Stephanie (7/5): Nearby beach is beautiful- that is what you’re paying for! - The location is what you pay for at this masseria. It has the most gorgeous beach 5-10 minutes walk away. Really close drive to Otranto too. They offered bikes (free hire) which was a nice touch. The pool area was nice and big, never an issue getting a sun bed. Personally, I think this is a great place to come with a family. If you want a quiet, romantic break, maybe not the ideal base. Having come from a high quality masseria elsewhere in Puglia, we had high expectations. This masseria is more hotel than rustic, Italian farmhouse. The room was a bit small considering what we had paid and unfortunately there were quite a lot of ants in the kitchenette area. However, the staff were very friendly and attentive which made up for the cons.
- Dennis (8/5): Other than the odour problem the masseria lived up to expectations. - Great breakfast, helpful and friendly staff, huge pool and easy to visit towns in the region. Our room 1480 had a terrible smell so bad we had to use an adjoining room to sleep.
- Valentin (10/5): A perfect stay ! - - The hotel is near a beautiful beach (5 mins by foot), and near Otronto (4-5 mins by car) - The spa was great - Our room was spacious, well decorated. The patio was nice - Breakfast was amazing (the cheeses were so delicious) - and the staff was very helpful. And thank you again for everything during our stay !!
- Robert (8/5): Very good - location tranquility needs more ambiance in the dining room, no music, feeled rushed to finish and leave
- Verified traveler (10/5): Encantador - Hermoso! Te reciben muy cordiales, el spa es hermoso y la playa es increible. El spa es maravilloso
- LAWRENCE (10/5): - Beautiful location, comfortable, friendly staff
- Laura (10/5): Beautiful stay, didn’t want to leave, exceptional hospitality - We had a beautiful suite with plenty of room. dinner was beautiful and on the house. Excellent service from all the staff. We had the spa to ourselves, lovely swimming pool. Lovely location in beautiful rural area but a short walk to a gorgeous beach. Close enough to Otranto to get there easily. Highly Recommend
- Libby (8/5): beautiful location drinking wine beneath the stars was glorious - beautiful property, lovely accommodation and great staff. dinner is expensive
- Sandy (9/5): Lovely stay with a team who aim to please! - The Masseria is LOVELY. The grounds and rooms are very nice - just as I'd expected for a stay at a masseria. The room was very generous in size, the bed was very comfortable and the pool is fabulous! The masseria is a quick taxi ride into town and the team is really so very helpful and eager to make your stay as good as it possibly could be. There's very little I didn't like! I would recommend you spend a few days here as the one thing I didn't like was having to leave after only a couple of days (that's on me!)
- Duhy (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed at the Queen Suite, excellent room size and services. Staffs are more then friendly, really helpful! The location is very near the best beaches of Puglia! Love the stay and will be back soon!
- Kelly (10/5): Great quiet location and superbe service - We had an amazing 3 night stay. The staff / service was the best we had in our 3 weeks Italian vacay. Grazie to Yvan, Salvatore and Francesca who made our stay so special. The beach 5 minutes away is mind blowing for walks and just soaking up the immense view. Pool, room , bikes all great. The food excellent. We even had all our amazing dinners there ( set menu 4 services for 35euro / was nice to be taken care of and not bother with restaurants, menu etc... ). Book this place with no hesitation nothing
- Mitul (10/5): - This is a great property located 300 metres walking distance from a splendid beach and a short 15 min drive to Otranto. The breakfast selection is amazing, the room was clean and spacious and parking was easy. The outdoor pool was nice but the water was a bit cold in September.
