Tenuta Monacelli Lecce

Nicoletta, Giacomo, and Lucia were just some of the staff that made our stay extra special. The grounds were lovely, idyllic, and rooted in ancient history. Imagine stepping out of your room and looking at an ancient Roman road or a 400 year old tower, or an antique underground olive mill. It is hard to put into words how special this property is. We were generously upgraded to a room that also had a huge fireplace hearth, small pool-sized bath and architecturally stunning ceilings that were steeped in history. My husband and I, nor our 12 and 10 year old girls, ever wanted to leave. The pool was large and serene and the food was delicious and very much Apulian cuisine. We loved their delicious wines as well and cocktail hour was an additional delight. And the old olive trees and cacti, especially at sunset, made me so grateful for choosing this place to relax and use as a home base to explore the rest of Puglia.

This is an oase in the middle of nowhere, still close to a lot of nice villages and beautiful beaches. The property is very well maintained and it feels like living in another world of beauty. The breakfast is excellent and the restaurant serves perfect food and their own produced wine. Beautiful rooms. The gardens and pool is fantastic , and you will never want to leave. The service is also of excellent quality.

Taste is always personal and to me the property was excellent starting from reception , Bfast , restaurant or pool all of them make me feel special , always a smile in their face no matter what we asked we had it . The garden getting a drink, watching the lighted tree I felt so peacefully was an amazing experience, thanks to everyone

Beautiful Masseria with 2 historic buildings from 1600s, perfectly renovated to 4* standards. Very nice and friendly staff. Very large pool and all the outdoor areas are super day and illuminated az nights. Amazing place for event or for family stays.

The place is beautiful, very quiet, the room was great (clean, big and nicely decorated). The gardens, the pool and the buildings are really beautiful. The Service and the Personal were very nice and kind with us. A special thank you to Serena who helped me to arrange all what I needed for this stay with my 2 kids (3 & 8 years old).
