Masseria Montenapoleone

Absolutely the most gorgeous property I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. Each room has been carefully designed and furnished by hand using unique vintage decor along with beds from heaven. In the morning you can open your window to see and smell the luscious orange and lemon trees. The setting just never ends with beautiful flowers blooming amidst fruits, vegetables, and herbs that will be freshly harvested for your next delicious meal - or cooking class! There's even a pool bathed in sunlight to cool off in.

Look elsewhere if you want a wonderful masseria experience. Very disappointing and the aperitif experience in the vineyard is extremely overpriced and poor. Our table was not cleared so a cat jumped on the table eating our leftovers. A very snooty woman(Alessandra) could see we were disgusted with this and she shrugged it off and said ‘is the cat annoying you’. When we mentioned this on check out the receptionist said there are lots of cats around the masseria and that we had finished our food so what was the problem. We also could not get the attention of any waiters to order a glass of wine while we observed other guests receiving complimentary olive oil from this same women, Alessandra. She was very rude and appeared to prefer guests who seemed of a certain standing. Our room was really far away just to be aware if you book a garden room. You are really in the garden!! I really would not recommend!!

Compared to other Masseria in Puglia, this ranks poorly. Everywhere else in Puglia they provide free water daily (it’s 95+ degrees). Here they charge you just for water. Further, the place feels like Disney world. It’s decorations get too hard . Lastly the staff isn’t terribly welcoming. Weird vibes all around. Stay somewhere else when you’re in this beautiful region for more hospitality where they aren’t trying to nickel and dime you for everything in a over decorated Disney land Masseria

If you are looking for somewhere with a pool and spa so you can relax in the sun then this is OK. However, the restaurant menu is international food and very restricted. You cannot drink and drive in Italy, so as this is in the middle of nowhere unless someone refrains form drinking you are not in walking distance of another restaurant. We went to experience authentic Puglian food and wine, so this wasn't the place for us, and we were not the only disappointed guests. However, on the plus side it was in a delightful rural location and our room was excellent.

Wow. What can we say other than speechless. Myself and my fiancé have been wanting to visit the masseria for not only there many experiences and hidden spots to discover, but to view as our wedding venue. We were absolutely blown away by the amazing staff, who went above and beyond showing us around and truly made our vineyard experience one of the best things we have ever done. We compared the rest of our meals and trips from our whole 2 weeks in Italy and really set the bar soaring high considering we came here on our 2nd day into our trip. The grounds really are breathtaking. It is such a unique masseria and one we felt really touched us deeply and is so special. There is so much going on, offering many different activities and places to walk/sit/eat throughout the property, yet it was so peaceful and tranquil you really felt like you are in another world! The decor is truly special, something which drew us to view it as a wedding venue as it is so organic and natural and fun!! We had the pleasure of meeting Alessandra and Giuliano who have created a truly loved and special place they call home. We are very excited to start planning our wedding experience with them. Our experience in the vineyard was truly, and still is the best 6 course meal I have ever had. The presentation, the quality of farm to table produce, the amazing and attentive staff who went above and beyond to make us feel special and looked after. To sit amongst the grapes of wine they create was different to anything we have done before, and the cocktails wow are exceptional!! And I may sound like a MM top fan (which I really am) but the red wine was like no other. I don’t usually drink, but my fiancé will loves wine, and the smoothness and flavour was AMAZING!! If we didn’t drive we would have had another bottle. All in all it was the best experience down to every last detail as it is so well thought out at MM. We cannot wait to come back and stay next year and soon to bring our friends and family to our wedding in the hopes they will share the same love we do for masseria montenapoleone!! Thankyou for making us fall in love with Italy even more Abi & Will
