Pros +
- Incredible facility and detail in design. The food was amazing. The pool was the best layout and there is a snack bar available. They catered to the entire experience of being a guest on holidays. Great location from Otranto.
- This masseria feels like paradise ! We stayed in the junior suite and our son in a comfort double. Both rooms were very nice, very clean and comfortable. The service is perfect, all of the staff were very friendly. We enjoyed the swimmingpool very much with our daily cocktail at the poolbar. The views from our room, the terrace and the swimmingpool are fantastic. Food and service at breakfast and dinner were TOP. We can't wait to return to Masseria Panareo next year !
- The location was perfect. The view of the sea and the fields of the olive trees plantation was superb from the beautiful pool and the eating terraces. There ara Cabanas for relaxation right on the terrace. The restaurant offers to options to have diner: fixed menu or la Carte. The food and service of all the personal was great; Denny and Prab attention to guests was excellent. Relaxation and comfort. The Masseria was a great experience!!!
Cons -
- When we checked in the receptionist showed us straight to our room without giving us any orientation to the facility, nor that there was a set menu for the next three nights, which we had to preorder our dinner each day by a certain time. Communication needs to be warmer. Also, we had ants in our room, which wasn’t a big deal to us, but maybe to others.
- Only one small remark or suggestion, no critic at all ; the music was always the same, at breakfast and dinner, some variation would be even more pleasant for guests staying several nights.

It was excellent!
Our room was lovely - beautiful views across the olive trees to the sea. I loved the pool area! The meals were very special. A gorgeous place to slow down and relax for a few days.
The place is just amazing, breakfast perfect, room fantastic, view great -- everything fantastic
a lot of stairs to go up and down
Beautiful masseria in the middle of the Puglia countryside, not too far from the sea.Great price for the room, friendly and attentive staff, lovely half board set menu and amazing breakfast.The surroundings are beautiful and the swimming pool is a great addition to enjoy and relax.We had a great stay, and 1 night was not enough!
location, restaurant, pool,
room was a bit small
The efficient but extremely friendly nature of the staff, always giving all their attention to the guest. Beautiful surrounding and immaculately presented in all parts.
nothing not to like
Great central location in the region, view from masseria terrace, swimming pool, room, food, friendly staff
No wifi in room, bed too hard to be really comfortable.
What a beautiful place, a warm friendly welcome and a stunning setting. The hotel is an oasis of calm and beauty. The room was lovely and the grounds and pool are so beautiful. The staff are a credit to the hotel, the two ladies on reception were so helpful and full of great tips for visiting other towns. Daniele who served us breakfast is a lovely man. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all superb. We will definitely be back.
The facilities outside the room were beautiful. As well as the view.
The air conditioning in the room did not work while we stayed there in the hottest part of the summer. At least, the air conditioning worked but blew warm wind instead of cold wind. After reporting we were told that this was normal and that the air conditioning worked normally.On top of this, the air conditioning does not work for a large part of the morning / early afternoon under the guise that the cleaners are cleaning the rooms. This is also not entirely correct. The cleaners always came late in the afternoon. This made the room structurally a sauna.Furthermore, the accommodation is far too expensive for what you get. There are no Masseria vibes here at all.
The food is amazing. Everything we ate was superb, both breakfast and dinner and staff serving can provide information and good wine suggestions. The pool is a good size as are the sun beds around it. The scenery is spectacular and it is a very peaceful location after the busier locations of Puglia.
The roads leading up to it are difficult if you don;t know them so it might be hard going out at night. We were very happy to stay in and enjoy the food and views from the terrace.
Breakfast was good although slightly limited. We were met with a friendly welcome and all the staff were happy to help. The location was remote although only a short drive to a lovely seaside town with plenty of restaurants, beach, shops and facilities.
The only complaint was the slightly inadequate air conditioning.
Excellent view from the pool.
Very, very limited lunch options. In fact there was only one item we could order from friselle as they said that they did not have ingredients for the other menu items. Breakfast is entirely a buffet, including eggs left out for residents to plate themselves. The hotel holds itself out on social media as having extremely high culinary standards but I regret to say that was not my experience.
I have been visiting the Masseria regularly since 2015, and Alessandro and his team always look after me, and make me feel very welcome. Everything is fantastic, the daily breakfasts and the dinners in the restaurant. The best that Puglia has to offer.
Lovely place, with fabulous staff (thanks Denny!) and a great restaurant (the fixed menu is a great option). Out of the way, classy and secluded, but not an issue with a car. Otranto also great for sea swimming. Also incredible restaurant (Matisse) in Uggiana 15 mins away.
Nothing. Be careful on the local road to Uggiana (nearest supermarket and farmacia), it's very narrow with lots of potholes.
Well designed rooms with exceptional breakfast. People working there were polite and friendly.
The service is excellent. Staff is courteous and create an relaxing and home-y vibe. Breakfast is actually a full meal that offers sweet and savory options, local and international, with views of the AdriaticPool is excellent. Good for swimming and also relaxing. Spritzes, beers, and other drinks are offered. Sea view from the pool.
Pool, room and property character, staff were helpful and accommodating. They let us use facilities even though we arrived a few hours before check in time. Also great location, only 13 mins drive from Otranto Free Parking so ideal to drive in if you want.
Pool could have been a little cleaner but nothing massively negative.
The property it's amazing facility very good quite and relaxing Service is great Daniele in the morning was great professional helpful and anticipate everyone needs .Bravo .Lady at reception very good as well .We loved it and will be back
The pool needs a bit of attention need cleaning a bit as well spent some time around it .Lunch need to be better in terms of variety quantity and value .Dinner is very good tough
