Naturalis Bio Resort

My husband and I stayed here while biking in Puglia. The hotel/spa has been converted from a working. The owners have paid attention to every detail. The rooms and common areas are beautiful. Our room and en suite bathroom were very large. We had an indoor sitting area and an outdoor sitting area. The bed and pillows were wonderful. The bathroom was large. The shower was spacious and had a number of different shower heads. Perfect after a long day of biking. The pool, which is not heated, is large and has a number of reclining lounge chairs. There is also a spa, which my husband and I enjoyed. We booked the spa journey, which meant we could use the Turkish bath and whirlpool for an hour. It was lovely! There is an on-site restaurant which serves amazing food! It was so good with an outstanding staff! Breakfast is included. It is a huge spread of both savory and sweet offerings. Delicious! This place is heaven.

If you want total comfort, a great relaxing environment, the opportunity to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at where your staying and you want to access all the great towns and sights in and around Lecce in Puglia, then the Naturalis Bio Resort & Spa is for you. It was for my wife and I during our 5-night stay there recently. A very large property with 14 rooms (ours was the Lavanda Room), a beautiful pool area, spa, and full restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The latter two are in addition to your daily room rate which includes breakfast. In our room we had everything we needed, a king-sized bed with full bath (Shower, toilet, bidet) mini-bar and free internet service. We walked the grounds on our first day, including the herb garden that provides fresh materials for the kitchen, and other areas on the property beyond the multiple buildings. The physical location is excellent to access Lecce, Ortranto, Gallipoli, Gallatina as well as other sites on both the Adriatic and Ionian Sea sides of Puglia. The staff at Natuaralis is wonderful...beyond the daily housekeeping personnel who do a terrific job, the staff that assist guests in the pool area, spa and in food service are top notch. For example, GianLuca and his team, including Giuseppe, Francesco, Christian, Bernadetta (and I know I'm leaving someone out) are equally terrific and personable. During our stay, we enjoyed breakfast and dinner daily on the patio adjacent to the restaurant. The breakfast is a full buffet and the dinner menu is ala carte so you can have an appetizer, primi piatti, secondi piatti and dolce...or you can select less if you prefer. The quality of the food is outstanding...from my perspective all the quests were there for dinner rather than going to the many restaurants in the surrounding areas. One night they had pizza night: Guests had the option to choose a pizza from four different selections and/or enjoy a grand buffet. It was a lot of fun enjoying al fresco dining near the pool and the pizzas were prepared by the chef and his assistant in a large pizza oven...it was a great evening. In closing...I can's stay enough positive things about the Naturalis Bio Resort and Spa. You won't be disappointed if you choose to stay there during your stay in the southern part of Puglia.

We are leaving today perhaps the best luxury boutique resort that we have ever stayed at. While the resort is “boutique”with respect to its number of rooms (14 in total), the property and its staff give it a much grander stature. The property is over 20 acres that is magnificently landscaped where much of the vegetables and fruits served at its restaurant is grown. The property at night lights up completely and is just as spectacular as the vistas during the day. The pool setting is outstanding and outdoor dining area adjacent to the pool is perfect. To aptly sum up the property, we have never taken so many pictures of a resort as we did during our stay at the resort. The rooms are very nicely appointed with extremely comfortable bedding and a large bathroom with double sinks. Finally the review would not be complete without kudos to the staff and the food. The staff is extraordinary. Everyone from Jean Carlo, Jean Lucca, Alexandra, the executive chef, the woman from Argentina ( I sadly forgot her name) , Lamenta, the gentleman that oversees the pool, and last but not least , Giuseppe, who is absolutely awesome and a great representative of the Naturalis resort and brand. The food prepared by the chef from a terrific and diverse breakfast to outstanding dinners replete with homemade pastas was awesome. We will return!
