Guest Reviews
- Antonella (10/5): -
- Fabio (8/5): Struttura molto bella con una bellissima zona piscina. Camere pulite. - Struttura molto bella in zona tranquilla appena fuori dal paese, bellissima zona piscina, personale gentile, ottima pulizia Il bagno aveva alcuni problemi idraulici, risolti solo in parte.
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Giulia (10/5): Un soggiorno indimenticabile in una masseria da sogno 🌿✨ - Abbiamo trascorso qualche giorno in questa splendida masseria in Puglia e non potevamo desiderare di meglio! Fin dal nostro arrivo siamo stati accolti con cordialità e professionalità da uno staff attento, disponibile e sempre sorridente.
La location è semplicemente incantevole: immersa nella natura e profumi mediterranei, offre un’atmosfera di pace e relax assoluto. La piscina è un vero gioiello, perfettamente curata e ideale per godersi il sole pugliese in totale tranquillità .
La nostra camera era spaziosa, pulita e arredata con gusto, rispettando lo stile autentico della masseria ma con tutti i comfort moderni. Ogni dettaglio era pensato per farci sentire coccolati.
Un capitolo a parte merita il cibo: una vera esperienza sensoriale! Dalla colazione ricca e genuina, con prodotti freschi e locali, alle cene raffinate che esaltano i sapori della tradizione pugliese. Ogni piatto era una scoperta, preparato con ingredienti di altissima qualitĂ .
Consigliamo questa struttura a chiunque cerchi un soggiorno autentico e rilassante: è il luogo perfetto per rigenerarsi e vivere appieno la magia della Puglia. Non vediamo l’ora di tornare! 🌞🌿 Unica pecca, la chiusura dell’illuminazione la sera troppo presto.
- Emmanuel (9/5): - Le cadre, le parc, la piscine, le calme. C'est un très bel oasis. La gentillesse du personnel d'accueil. Le petit déjeuner assez moyen servi dans un immense salle vide...
Le rapport qualité prix du restaurant de la piscine
- Valentina (10/5): Splendido e rilassante,ottimo di posizione ma anche di confort, tornerò sicuramente - Splendido resort, perfetto sia per la posizione sia per vivere del sano relax con una piscina a disposizione ed anche la spa. Cucina eccellente,personale cordialissimo e servizi ristoro sempre aperti, ci tornerò sicuramente! Consiglierei di estendere il wi fi nelle camere e non solo nelle aree comuni
- Nicole (1/5): Katastrophale Unterkunft - Wir waren Mitte Juli 2025 die einzigen und ersten Gäste in der Masseria. Der Pool war bei Ankunft leer, nach Befüllung war der Pool natürlich eiskalt, die Springbrunnen waren alle aus, die Beleuchtung war immer aus, es gab kaum bis gar kein Service Personal, der Spa Bereich war immer geschlossen, an der "Pool Bar" war nie jemand, es lief keine Musik (DJ Pult und Technik war vorhanden), die Betten sind eine einzige Katastrophe (steinhart), der Kühlschrank war teils kaputt, die Dusche viel zu klein, es gab keine Vorhänge an der Zimmertür zur Terrasse (jeder hätte beim sich umziehen rein schauen können) und auch keinen Mückenschutz. Das Frühstück war schlecht (Weißtoast, Croissant, Fertigkuchen, Käse- und Wurstaufschnitt). Nach Butter musste man fragen. An zwei Tagen gab es zu den angegebenen Öffnungszeiten des Restaurants kein Frühstück und die Tür war verschlossen!!
- Pasquale (8/5): Relax - Tranquillità , piscina, parcheggio, arredamento stanza, personale gentile e disponibile, location molto suggestiva. Della Stanza la zona notte un pò piccola, colazione non propriamente all’altezza. Non é per forza una nota negativa ma il mare e le zone interessanti un pò lontane ma, se cerchi il relax é ottimale.
- Marc (6/5): Pleasant - Kamer was ok. Locatie is echt ´in the middle of nowhere´
Voorts is het hotel een beetje vergane glorie.
- Viktor (7/5): Good - Clean rooms, great staff. The pool is open to the public and staff brought family and friends that were too loud.
Lots of bees and wasps in the pool area because of all the flowers. A few children were stung when we were at the pool.
- Sebastiano (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (6/5): Pleasant -
- Mehdi (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful and charming masseria. The room is very spacious and super clean. The restaurant and the breakfast were amazing. Plenty of private and free parking. The garden and the pool are gorgeous. Easy and quick access to the beaches. I highly recommend it.
- Alberto (10/5): Great place, lovely staff -
- Jozef (10/5): Great cuisine and leisure time in nicely equipped Masseria. - For breakfast were served mainly sweet cakes - fantastic. Some options of ham and cheese also. I really enjoy every morning to start the day with your breakfast. We could choose one of 3 dishes also for dinner, which was also in high standard. Overall the cuisine, comfort, services of Grottella were superb. Location of Avetrana is not the best, but still good.
- Comito (8/5): Very good - Perfect location for our stay for a nearby wedding. Pool was great and room was spacious and had everything we needed. Great value for money! There was no iron available to use
- Alessia (4/5): Disappointing -
- Peter (9/5): Lovely resort with very friendly staff. Always ready to help. - I liked the size of the room. The staff very friendly and helpful. Nice restaurant. The breakfast not much variety. Couldn’t drive to front entry so it was to far to take bags from car park. The music from parties was too loud to sleep.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simon (6/5): good stay in the region for a couple of nights - the property grounds are nicely decorated.
the pool is big
the room was big and bed comfortable
not far from the beach bathroom equipment not working properly
fitness centre a bit tired
parties in the evening with loud music
- Karen (8/5): Unusual property in an offbeat area near Avetrana, Italy with a great restaurant - We arrived at this hotel in a rural area outside the small town of Avetrana, Italy by bicycle after a long ride and were so pleased at the beautifully landscaped gardens all around this resort property. Our large room was spacious and comfortable although the furnishings are definitely dated. One feels as if you have somehow landed in a chateau in pre revolutionary France. We also had dinner at the on resort restaurant which has modern decor and wonderful food. The pool area was not open during our stay. The resort property gardens had been reserved for a large party the night we stayed and the music was loud.
- Silvia (5/5): Passable -
- Susan (7/5): Family trip for four days of relaxation early season ( May '23) great time had! - The resort is very stylish, wonderful pool area, exceptional food in the restaurant, more voice required as snack type, poolside would be great addition. The staff were all, with no exceptions very friendly and helpful. Alessandro on reception is a star and the waiter in bar and restaurant went above and beyond. The beds weren't very comfortable but rooms clean and had great wifi
- Susan (6/5): Pleasant - very clean and quite isolated and no available restaurant and no information regarding available facilities .No available refreshments on-site
- Marek (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning Masseria with huge property and nice swimming pool.
- Paul (8/5): Good - A little out of town.
- Violaine (3/5): Frenchies in Salento - Ample free parking. Close to the beaches Too expensive for the services. 3 stars instead of 4. Swimming pool with very loud music with the same music. We were from Salento on our honeymoon. For us to rest, it was impossible. I dare not imagine the people who come to relax at the SPA. Extremely disappointing breakfast. One morning we arrive, we are told that there is only one croissant left. Very dry cakes. Few seasonal fruits. Soft bread. Very bad fruit juice. Unworthy of a 4 star. Mini bar empty even though we stayed 4 nights. The minimum would be to fill it with water bottles. Dimly lit, outdated rooms. One morning we were in our bed. The housekeeper came in without knocking (9:45) and unlocked the locked door. We were shocked. Overall a bad experience
- Valeria (9/5): great pool and staff! - very spacious outdoor and massive pool with bar. staff was super helpful, the guy on the pool and the guy at the reception. we had been sorted a room service from the famous restaurant in by the kind reception guy and the linguine with seaorchin and tagliolini cacio, pepe and raw prawns were A1! probably just the fact the standard room was little and the resort was a little in the middle of nowhere.
- Andrea (8/5): - Pulizia perfetta, piscina con acqua fredda ma bella. Giardino molto curato. Parcheggio ottimo. Da rivedere la colazione.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The property looks amazing but a lot what you see on the images doesn’t come true during a normal stay. I had a superior triple room. We were lucky that we only had a child with because the room was tiny. We complained and all rooms are apparently the same size. I think images are only of exclusive bridal suites. The pool that isn’t square on the images is closed and only for weddings. Other pool is good and lively. That was the key highlight. Wouldn’t go back
