Masseria & Spa LuciaGiovanni

A very nice masseria with an incredibly hospitable staff. They didn't know what good they could do for us. Nice pool area with good sunbeds. Clean and nice room with plenty of space. I recommend going to this place with the best atmosphere. The gym was not very god but ok for vaccation mode.

Stayed 2 nights and whilst rooms needed a bit of upgrading the facilities and food we good, we really enjoyed the swimming pool and the style was a bit unexpected in a Moroccan themed location which was pleasant., food and breakfast was excellent and staff couldn’t do more for you with an excellent service. Accessible for Lecce and car journeys south to the likes of Gallipoli.mmwe used the taxi into Lecce on an evening which was 15 eur and arranged through the hotel both directions.lecce is really good on an evening.

Dark and dreary. The rooms are dark and dreary. The bathrooms have very little light. Good luck taking a shower. The lounge beds by the pool are uncomfortable and waterlogged. The staff were reasonably pleasant. We left early and went to a good hotel!

The team at the hotel were all very friendly and looked after us so well!

I do not like to post negatively but it was all the positive reviews that helped me decide to book this Masseria and they were very misleading. The staff could not be nicer but the place is in need of a total facelift if it is to retain a 4 star rating. The floors in our room and through the property are badly scuffed and cracked. In our room the ceiling needed repair and the mattress was a thin hard slab. On the other hand the upholstery inside and outside our room was so worn you sink in. I have visited Morocco several times and the decor is one of my favorites styles but here the decor is just dark and drab now- not the vivid spice colors of Marrakech. We had dinner one night and sadly it was just average at best. To be honest we had booked a stay of 4 nights but left after the first night as we were very disappointed. This could be a wonderful property with a total update.

This was my second time staying at the masseria in two months. I stayed here in July with a friend and returned in September with my mother. In both stays, the staff at this family run hotel was extremely warm and helpful. All of our requests were accommodated. For example, when i needed to use my work computer and could not do to security settings on my laptop, the staff logged me onto the staff wifi rather than the unsecured guest wifi (this is something other hotels refuse to do). The property is beautiful, especially the pool, which is enormous and easy to enter (sloping ground rather than stairs) - important if you’re traveling with older family members. The parking is free and easy - which makes day trips to nearby towns like Gallipoli, Otranto or the beach areas very easy. In the morning there is a generous breakfast buffet with plenty of salty and sweet, healthy or indulgent options. I believe all the rooms have private patio facing the garden or at least garden access - at least the four rooms I saw on my two visits. There is also a nice courtyard where they light a fire pit in September (not in July because it’s too hot). Overall the property has many cozy areas to sit and read a book or do some work on your laptop.
