Vinilia Wine Resort

Beautiful building. Nicely furnished lobby. Lovely garden. Bed comfortable.

No bidet or place to put cosmetics in bathroom. Restaurant impersonal and Michelin star cuisine did not have the wow factor.

It was beautiful. Staff was friendly. Food was excellent. The pool was wonderful.

Our stay at Vinilia Wine Resort was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Giulia’s warm and sincere welcome, which set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The highlight of our visit was dining at the Casamatta restaurant, the kitchen of Pietro Penna, which holds the distinction of being awarded the 2021 Green Michelin Star, the first of its kind in Apulia. The four-course dinner was a true masterpiece – a concert of flavors, expertly crafted by sous-chef Ibrah and impeccable service orchestrated by the talented team of Gabriele, Pierpaolo, and Francesco - made this a meal we’ll remember!Gracie mille, Gabriele, for our early Sunday cappuccinos! We hope to return… Tatiana and Jiri

We spent three nights into this really nice property: great location to discover Puglia, great place to relax with a fantastic park, very quiet, with a great room and terrace. And then of course the restaurant: we decided to have all our diners there and enjoy the great dishes and wine. Fantastic value for money in my opinion, and the team was really going out of their way to make our experience memorable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the region!

We had the 6 course tasting menu and wine flight as a celebration for a big birthday. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and the menu delicious

We had room 7 which is a superior but quite a way from the main house and on its own with another room, facing out of the resort. I think so would have preferred to be on the other side facing the main property.

Chilled vibe with comfortable room and full facilities. Food at restaurant was excellent and a good wine list.

A little isolated so have to drive / taxi a fair way to get to Manduria - but an interesting town to see.

Beautiful property offering a relaxing break while traveling. With a lovely pool area. Restaurant on site was very good and recommend dining there.

It would have been nice if the rooms had an iron and you didn’t have to use laundry facilities.

Breakfast was nice always fresh local cheese and charcuterie

If you have your transport perfect place otherwise to get to the closest restaurant would be difficult

- Very nice personal!!!!- Breakfast is astonishing - Casamatta restaurant is very worth a visit

- Think about a bit more shadow area at the pool area- The beds under the trees require pillows

Amazind renovated masseria. Full of art pieces.Breakfast is very good. The team is the clue for our satisfaction. Especially Miss Adriana and Mr Fernando. Kind, helpful, very professional. Wine tasting guided by Mr Fernando was interesting and tasty.

No elevator

Beautiful setting, stunning facilities and staff that would accommodate any request. Very personalized service and exceptional food.

The pool area was amazing, the spacious rooms and manicured grounds were a real delight…We had a wonderful time.

Stunning location, beautiful pool area, lovely restaurant, great toiletries (Diptyque Paris), very good breakfast

restaurant was fantastic (Michelin starred) some guests may wish for a more casual dining option if staying for longer period. food round pool was good but a little pricey. resort could do more to promote the wine aspect of the resort (wine list at the pool was a little limited) perhaps be a bit more proactive suggesting tours to local wineries?

The property is truly magical and unlike any I've ever stayed in...I'm hesitant to share too much as it's truly a hidden gem and I don't want it to change! The grounds are perfect, the food delicious and farm to table, the staff are kind and hospitable - there's nothing that I would change.

The only "downside" is the converted castle is a short drive from the beach and nearby towns, so it requires a car and/or driver to explore beyond the property. Since castles are not easily moved, this is my only negative comment!

The hotel was impressive - as the gate opened, it felt as if we were entering a cool villains lair! The execution of the interiors was lovely and the grounds are impeccable. The pool is lovely to spend time around too. The room was lovely - although a little dark when trying to do your makeup in the evening. Breakfast was lovely+ fab quality. Lots grown/produced on site which was a bonus.

There isn't much to do locally unless you have a car. Staff weren't helpful if you wanted to go in to Manduria of an evening. They should include an a la carte menu, as like us - we didn't want a tasting menu for 2 nights but it is hard to go anywhere else for dinner if you want a drink. (The hotel did accommodate but we had to ask but we knew others staying there that were not offered the same.)The bar should open earlier too & their wine tasting/experiences could be sold better.

Unfortunately the experience was disappointing as for the value for money ratio. The staff was friendly accepting our recommendations and requests but the property does not live up to a real luxury stay.

The property can be reached via two roads which are in quite bad condition (one road is even heavily littered). The resort is one hour away from other tourist destinations. Several things were disappointing to us:We stayed 3 nights for a total of 1200 Euros for 2 persons in high season. We would have expected great value for money for this prize. We were disappointed. 1. The sewage in our room stank the first night and the design shower cabin was small plus the shower head sprinkled water due to limestone. (the hotel staff repaired it upon our request)2. An emergency light above the bathroom arch could not be switched off and lit the room so that we needed to climb on desks and chairs to darken the room despite withdrawal of the keycard etc. (the staff fixed it upon request)3. The breakfast buffet is good with homemade cakes and Quiche but we were shocked that the hotel charges extra for eggs (8 Euro) and Pancakes (12 Euro). This should be included.4. there is no selection of teas or juices, the breakfast staff does not speak English, the tables were not promptly laid and our cups were repeatedly dirty.5. the lounge beds in the garden are exposed to a loud generator noise in the evening hours and therefore are not offering relaxing space.we felt that the property was overpriced and therefore cancelled our Michelin Star reservation for the gourmet dinner because we were frustrated with the rest.

amazing location, amazing design, nice staff, excellent kitchen

very nice property

no hot water one evening. very disappointing. the staff was not able to fix this in a timely manner.

Facilities and locations

The staff were not very helpful and super slow, which could be understandable but the worst is that the man from the swimming pool and the man from breakfast were both very very impolite. We were also under the impression that the hotel was understaffed.

The location was perfect for our needs. The staff at the check in was very nice. Beds were very confortable.

The room service is poor and not quality. The amenities are poor. Tv are olds.
