Masseria Elysium Nature Resort e Ristorante

A lovely charming place. We were unfortunately there in a thunderstorm so couldn’t use the pool or go for a walk etc. But the staff are remarkably helpful and kind. The breakfasts are full of good will. The room we had was gorgeous. I don’t know if this is massereria style , but whilst they have an amazing restaurant ( reviews - not experience) it wasn’t obvious where to get the odd bottle of wine or snacks etc within the property. Might be off season. We wished we’d brought our own. It was such a gorgeous place a little something would have gone down a treat. The transfers are good. Certainly worth a stay, but perhaps clarify food and drink availability.

What a super place. Extremely helpful staff. Beautiful rooms and breakfast is fine. Set in orchards it’s a very peaceful and rejuvenating place. People are friendly and the rooms are clean! The breakfast is efficient and exactly what you need. When we were there the weather was rubbish, but would love to use the pool the next time we go. The transfers are charming

I stayed here with a friend for her birthday on 1st May. It is a beautiful hotel managed by amazing staff. Out of season is quiet but very relaxing and informal. We didn't get to use the pool or jacuzzi so we have booked another stay to really enjoy the facilities. My only criticism was lack of choice for vegetarians in the restaurant. I had a meal that I could have thrown together in minutes at home. Good prices and the happiest and most helpful staff that you could ask for. Thank you Masseria Elysium, see you soon.

Stayed here on 4 separate occasions. But would not stay again. On all occasions had to hunt down staff to check in. Tolerated, but annoying. Breakfasts OK, but hotel has NEVER had more than a few guests - so the one member of staff on breakfast duty often "missing" - having to find them ! Nice location, rooms pleasant. Hotel seems to focus its energies on weddings, parties so Friday/Saturday nights can be very, very noisy until 1.00am. Overall the hotel appears very nice, but we are fed up with the noise and lack of staff at reception/breakfast. Down to inadequate management. Perhaps run differently in peak season? Plenty of other "4 star" hotels around.

I stayed here for 2 nights after a family wedding at the nearby Masseria Baroni ( which was fabulous). I expected my room to be small because it was a single but it was tiny and 20 euros a night more than my junior suite at Masseria Baroni. Prior to the first night I was sent an email to see if I required dinner, I replied that I did and heard nothing. I went for dinner but the restaurant was closed despite the hotel allegedly being full. A lovely member of staff ( who seemed to be the only one at the hotel) rustled up some food from the kitchen. There were very few staff on duty at any one time. It was necessary to hunt someone down to get a drink by the pool for example. Only once during my 2 day stay did someone come to see me to check if I needed anything. I think that there must be some kind of owner/ senior management issue at this hotel. Potentially it could be very good but it seems to be run with minimal staffing and little leadership. The staff I did meet were lovely, the pool fabulous, the environment beautiful and when I did get a meal on my second night it was very tasty. Such a shame and not the fault of individual staff who tried their best with limited resources in my view.

After our wedding in Puglia with 42 family & friends we stayed here for one day and one night in the luxury room before travelling to the airport to begin our honeymoon. Really wished we had just booked an airport hotel in Brindisi. Nothing luxurious, no elegance, no staff, no service… just a glossy brochure. The hotel was reported to be full, but the restaurant was closed, drinks were hard to source, no staff anywhere. The staff when you could find them seemed unhappy and fed up, it really was the worst hotel experience for the money.

We had such a wonderful stay!! Absolutely stunning place, and grounds. Staff were all so friendly and helpful throughout, and brilliant at helping us arrange local day trips too, suggesting some stunning places to take day trips to! Our youngest is a little picky with food and the restaurant happily accommodated something else for her to enjoy at dinner. Rooms very spacious. If you have kids, make sure you take a walk around the grounds and meet the chickens and rabbits!!!

Our new favourite hotel in Puglia. The staff were very accommodating. The two rooms we booked were spacious and spotless. We had unexpected fresh fruit from the Masseria in our room upon arrival. . The elegant structure, gardens and all the fruit trees of the hotel and the beautiful bougainvillaea flowers growing around the Masseria makes this place truly one-of-a-kind. I can’t forget to mention, that the farm-to-table style dining was unbelievably tasty, we even got to pick cherries and apricots growing as we walked around the gardens and lazed by the pool. Already booked my next stay with a group of friends.

Ci sono stato grazie ad un regalo fattomi dalla mia compagna. Posto bellissimo. Una masseria con belle camere, pulite e arredate con cura. Il verde fantastico. Tante piante ornamentali ben assortite tra loro e tutto ben curato. Abbiamo fatto un'ottima cena, colazione la mattina dopo e poi ci siamo rilassati alla spa, molto accogliente ed intima. Completa il tutto la gentilezza del personale. Da ritornarci
