Masseria dei Monaci - Hotel Ristorante - 4 stelle

Beautifully situated on a hill, the Masseria dei Monaci is the ideal starting point for tours in and around Otranto. The rooms are nicely furnished and spacious, though the Wi-Fi signal in the rooms is unfortunately quite weak. The breakfast buffet is good but could have more variety. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the entire property is well-maintained. There’s a lovely pool. For a top rating, just a bit more attention to detail is needed—such as some fruit or a bottle of wine in the room ...or a small gesture upon departure.

The staff and grounds are amazing. View of the ocean from the pool. The team there is so kind and helpful. Nice rooms w AC. Great cute bar at the pool. Love this place and will recommend it to everyone looking for a shorter visit or more days to relax.

Amazing! I think that, just amazing, it could be the right word that I can use to describe this beautiful place. I enjoyed a beautiful day at the pool with my gf, drinking good wine and eating good food. The son of the owner (Francesco) he serviced us always with smile and professionalism. It’s sure that I will come again.

The place to go if you want complete relaxation and peace and quiet. After 6 nights at this hotel, we have come away well rested and well looked after. The rooms are stunning and cleanliness 2nd to none as others have reported. Whilst their rules appear strict, this family run place runs a tight ship and obviously wishes to keep it as pristine as it is so we didnt mind abiding to the 'regulations' that other have complained about. The breakfast offering is a little quirky. You won't find a hot option or a plain croissant, but you are offered sweet and savoury delights and once we embraced the Puglian way, we very much enjoyed our mornings. We didn't have a car, so we walked into town every night, which is a good 25-minute walk, but we did find taxis hard to come by, so having a car would have been a benifit I'm sure. Sitting around the pool we were looked after by the fantastic Francesco and team. Nothing was too much bother for him. We were only sad not to see him as we checked out. Thank you for being a great bar man! Overall, we'd recommend this place to anyone wanting a peaceful and uninterrupted get away from any hustle and bustle.

We stayed in early September, received a great welcome from Geramana the manager. Close to Otranto, and you can readily drive across to Gallipoli and down to Santa Maria Di Leuca. We had one of the two level rooms which was very roomy, with the bedding was changed very day and my wife loved the mattress! Breakfast was very good two tables laid out with food to help yourself, loved the melon and the breads. When having a day in by the pool the staff were attentive making sure you had plenty of towels and ready to provide drinks or snacks. We ate in two nights, meals were one choice for each of the 3 courses, but each one was tasty. We loved Otranto, so if we ever plan to come back it will to be here.
