Masseria Fortificata Lo Zafferaneto0

La Masseria is a place surrounded by nature and the structure takes you back in years. When life was enjoyed in simple ways, friends and great food. The emphasis is on the food and starting from breakfast and dinner you are treated with traditional recipes away from the Salamis and cheese which you can find everywhere. If you enjoy eggs benedict, then try the saffron version offered here, as it is cooked to perfection and the saffron flavour blends really well. Pier Paolo is a welcoming person and ready to help in every occasion. We also dined here on Easter Sunday and the menu offered a good selection of items, with every plate served with attention to detail. Buccheri is also great area with many towns close by which you can easily reach by car.

Wow what a place to stay. When I made the booking I was not sure what we were going to get but to say what we got was amazing. From the place it self to the staff, to the food and even there pet dog Luna. My husband had family in town but did not know where to look for them. It was by chance that the owner of the place knew my husbands family and went out of his way for us to meet up. To the point they went out of their way and drove us into town so we could spend the day with our family I could not recommend this place highly enough. Every body went out of there way to make sure our stay was a memorable one. We were only there for two days but we felt like we were at home. To the point we left very early the next day and they Irena made us a take way breakfast for us to eat on our journey so we do not go hungry. I highly recommend that if you have the opportunity to stay at this place defiantly do so you will not regret it our score 20/10 If you get the chance try the snails they were amazing

Having to leave such a beautiful place

The location is fantastic, the owners very welcoming. The breakfast was unbelievably good, we had stayed at two previous properties and this was by far the best and it was just delivered and kept coming. As was the evening meals all cooked freshly in the kitchen with saffron being a house speciality. Really delicious! The exterior seating area and cute inner courtyard were lovely.

The pool area for us was dissapointing, but to be fair we knew it was small when we booked but it could have been better maintained. Our shower room was also a little tight and could have used a few towel hooks, shelf space.

Excellent place in the quite countryside of Buccheri. Paolo (the owner) is an excellent hsot and daily makes sure that each and every guest is happy and confortable. Food, especially breakfast is great!

Not something with the property but just a head-up that apart fro mthe WiFi provided by Lo Zafferano (and which work excellently!) you may not have connectivity.

This property is amazing! The room was decorated beautifully. It was large and comfy. The furniture is lovely. The family is fantastic. They make you feel at home. My daughter love Zaffy (the dog) and Paulo (the Papa). The food is incredible! I highly recommend!

This property is a bit far out, but it’s worth it!

Great location with stunning views. The rooms are very comfortable. The breakfasts are great and they provided their own home baked gluten free bread which was a treat. The food and wines are exceptional. They also allowed us to check out Kate because we had an evening flight. The area is also really good for hiking and exploring

Lovely scenic and quiet location Property had character, room was a good size, comfortable bed and decent shower Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful We had a good breakfast and a very nice evening meal in the restaurant

I wish we had stayed longer than one night!

We look for locations with fresh clean air far away from high buildings and far from our everyday hectic lifestyle..with the Mediterranean vegetitation surrounding this place and the chirping of the crickets on a Summer day - this would definitely build a memorable stay for all the family

Food is incredible. Rarely a place where one would eat such delicious creations made with the best ingredients and so much passion. The location is the most of being idyllic pastoral. Awakens the spirit.

This property is stunning and unique. The dinners are exceptional and we wish we had stayed longer just to eat there again!! Breakfast is ample and there’s something for everyone!

We didn’t realise the pool would be closed in October.
