The Masseria is a fantasy become reality - gorgeous place. Five minutes away from white sand beaches and reasonable drives away from historic sites. The owners are wonderful - friendly and helpful. I can't recommend it enough!

a gem

The Masseria is a beautiful and calm place to stay if you want to relax and have a good time. 
The rooms are spacious, in front of a big and beautiful garden and close to the most amazing beaches in Salento. The owner was very receptive and helpful.

The only thing is that you shouldn't go there without a car, since it's 10 minutes driving from Parabita.

The perfect place for relaxing and enjoying nature

An authentic masseria, beautifully restored with a lot of love and taste, each room in it own colorful fresh spirit. A very big garden, in the middle of nature, at 10 minutes from the beach. The hosts Carla and her son Giuliano are the most welcoming and helpful people i have ever met. The perfect spot to relax and enjoy all the best that Puglia has to offer!

an absolute winner

The Masseria is located outside Parabita. The surrounds are simply wonderful, few km from Gallipoli and some outstanding beaches. It is a place where you can not stay without a car, in 30 minutes you can find some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean.

The rooms are traditional, inside the typical countryside. It is a nice place for a minimalist vacations, coming back to a more essential kind of life.

On the negative sides, some of the furnitures have been added later without preserving the original style, some of the outside space are somehow small. The room only have one door-window. As an additional negative side, on the side to the Masseria there is a photovoltaic solar cell, somehow jaring with the traditional landscape.

For minimalist vacations

Where to start… we booked for 5 nights…stayed 2 … 
From start to finish it was a disaster … after staying in Masseria’s accomodation in Puglia we did not quite know what had hit us … 
Poor communication on entry and almost everything over the 2 days 

Carla is lovely but very confusing arrangements 
The pool is lovely 
But … the facilities are extremely poor 

No hot water after 1 x 2 min shower and not clean 
poor water running in bathroom (sink blocked) 
No air con 
No kettle or easy heating facilities for food ( no food on sight) 
Not clean 
Poor bed pillows and linen 

Outdoor is dusty and needs to be cleared … too many old pieces of furniture that is not functional 

Sadly we could not wait to leave … not value for money … they need to look at other properties and Masseria’s… improvements are greatly required

Not clean no air con poor internet no facilities for making tea coffee or heating food… worst of all NO hot water

The Masseria is very nice and the Signora Carla is a lovable person. The location is in the Puglia's countryside, 10 km far from Gallipoli and 10-20 km far from most the beaches of this area, which is convenient for car-equipped travelers. 
Since two years a small pool, very nice, is at the guests disposal.
However...
The management of the structure and the design of some of the rooms is quite debatable, for example:
- in the few days I was in the structure me and some other guests misunderstood the room's equipment (or even the room itself);
- the Camino room, which is the nicest imho, simply does not have a shower but a shower head "floating" in the bathroom;
- the Loft is sold for 8 persons but it is simply undesigned to host 8 persons due to absence of enough chairs (!), absence of a door between the two double-bad rooms, a 12liter water warmer; a very very small fridge; etc
- The manager asks to differentiate rubbish but the rooms are equipped with one single box. The location where to place the rubbish is dirty and without any clear understanding on what goes where
- Wifi was not working properly during my permanence
- Some spaces associated with the Loft room are misunderstood by the other guests as common spaces with the result that the guests of that rooms sometimes didn't have tables outsides or they where dirty...

My overall impression is that a wonderful place is not properly handled, it is necessary to steer the management and to fix some structural drawback, as written in the text, spartan is not careless, is different.

spartan or careless?

After staying in some very nice property's, we came here to stay for 3 nights to visit Gallipoli and Parabita. Very basic accommodation, no air con in 35 degree heat with just a fan blowing hot air around , a very sweaty 3 nights with no sleep! This accommodation is extremely basic, with a shower that did not work correctly and kept falling down and no light working in the separate toilet area. The chair outside on the "patio" broke as I sat on it . The only plus was the swimming pool was nice and very quite. Also No breakfast although the "blurb" on booking.com said this could be had for 5 euros per person. If you want to live like disadvantaged people did 50 years ago, try it.
We complained as we probably would not then get any other accommodation at late notice, and they dropped the price by about half ( probably still too much!). This place has got massive potential as the actual property and in the country location is good,  but badly needs updating and modernising.
