A beautiful masseria among picturesque olive groves and cacti plants. Very well kept landscape and grounds. Nicely furnished common spaces and rooms. Our room was rather small, but comfortable. We really enjoyed the balcony (a shared balcony for the 3 rooms, but all in all we had it just to ourselves). Loved the sea and sunset view during the day and the stargazing at night! The hotel staff is very attentive and friendly. They gave us very good tips about local restaurants and places to visit. Made our restaurant reservations every day and were always smiling and talkative. All in all, a dream location close to all the main attractions and towns of Puglia!

Essentially two things need a bit of upgrading- the pool area- beautiful place with an unusual pool, but very scarce amount of umbrellas. If the pool area is full there is not enough shadow for even half of the people. The breakfast was a bit disappointing. The quality of food and ingredients vas very good, but you could probably benefit from a real buffet- not only pastries on display, but also e.g. mozzarella, hams etc. The guests don’t know that those things are available unless they specifically ask. The same thing goes for eggs- write on a chalk board that you offer omelette or different egg variations, so that people know they can order them. The breakfast seemed also limited in terms of staff, I think you need more people in order to accommodate everyone in the busy season.

My stay at Masseria San Giovanni was truly unforgettable. Nestled among olive trees in the Valle d'Itria, this historic farmhouse blends traditional charm with modern comfort seamlessly. The rooms are elegant and cozy, perfect for unwinding after exploring the region. Outside, the well-kept gardens and picturesque views offer a serene atmosphere, ideal for relaxation. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant and hassle-free experience throughout my stay. In summary, I highly recommend Masseria San Giovanni to anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the authentic beauty of Puglia, away from the hustle and bustle. Definitely a place to revisit.

Wow, we just left Masseria San Giovanni yesterday and I'm already planning my return trip! Seriously, that place was incredible. ☀️ It felt like staying in a gorgeous old castle, but with all the modern comforts you could ask for. Super peaceful location surrounded by olive trees, yet close enough to explore the town and beaches. The staff was amazing: friendly, helpful, and always going the extra mile to make us feel welcome. A huge shoutout to Veronica, the front office manager! She was absolutely stunning, so helpful and kind, and she even recommended some fantastic local restaurants where we had the most amazing food. Our room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated – they really thought of everything! Breakfast was a delicious feast of fresh local foods, and the pool was the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. Honestly, Masseria San Giovanni was just magical.

Nothing

It’s a wonderful place to stay if you want to have a quiet relax time and enjoy good food and wine in the middle of lots of local olive and wine farms. If you want to have a more active vacation look elsewhere.

The a/c unit is not powerful enough for summer heat. It’s not terribly bad but if you like super cold temperatures to sleep you may not like it

Beautiful Masseria, rooms were beautiful and the amenities smelled great. Breakfast was delicious: small variety of options but everything was absoluy delicious. The location is great to drive to every town in Puglia

Bathroom in the room sometimes had a weird smell

property is fully renovated in a nice and silent location. staff was friendly and efficient.

as some guests mentioned before there are a few things missing, details. sheets were not of good quality. missing umbrellas for rainy days as all rooms and even restaurant bathroom is outside the main house.

This is a beautiful Masseria, which looks even better in person, than it does in the photos! The rooms are large and spacious, there are only 9 or so rooms, so it almost feels like you have your own large villa at times. The pool is maybe 20 metres long, and the bar area by the pool couldn’t be better for breakfast. There are two fantastic local Puglian restaurants less than a 5 minute drive away too. We loved our stay here, it’s a real up and coming star.

The location and the grounds of the Masseria are spectacular. Everything the buildings, the trees and the pool are very beautiful and Instagramable.

The rooms on the other hand are very basic and the breakfast is nothing to be proud of.

Fine facilities and good location.

This masseria was not as nice as others we stayed at for around the same price point on our trip to Puglia, but it was a fine stay. Our biggest complaint was that the pool is quite small for the size of the property and number of guest rooms (an outdoor lounge chair is not guaranteed on a busy day). The property felt more to us like a small hotel than a charming/intimate B&B.

Beautiful estate, stylish and comfortable rooms, super friendly staff, close to Ostuni.

Nothing, it was all great. A suggestion also made to staff at check out was that it would be nice to have a coffee machine or station in the rooms.
