Masseria le Carrube

Cute little hotel but very let down by its food offering. The restaurant is vegetarian only with one option per course which changes daily. We ate in the restaurant once and we had goats cheese risotto which didn't really taste of anything followed by a chick pea dish that I wasn't a fan of either. There is also an outdoor pizzeria with great pizzas, but isn't open every night. On our last night it rained so the pizzeria was shut. We didn't want to risk the vegetarian restaurant again and our children would not have eaten anything on that menu anyway. It was frustrating because it meant we had to drive into town to get something to eat. A shame because this place isn't cheap. If the restaurant had a normal menu this place would be much more appealing. Also the pool is very small and not really suitable for children. Within 5 minutes of arriving at the pool in our first day one of the staff members told us that our children aren't allowed to jump in the pool because it's dangerous, which was surprising. Taxis in the area are very expensive and we paid €100 for an 18 minute round trip. That means you mostly need to drive to places. Parking in the local town Ostuni was a bit of a nightmare too and it took us 30 minutes to find somewhere to park on a Tuesday night. Ostuni is an attractive town but would recommend booking for dinner as we had to try half a dozen restaurants before we found one with space for 4 of us.

We had a brilliant stay here. The breakfast is spectacular with so many choices. The dinner options are delicious too - room service, pizza night and their incredible vegetarian tasting menu. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful to my husband, myself and our 8 month old baby. The hotel is stunning with gorgeous pool, incredible fruit and olive trees. They recommended us some beach clubs to visit. Would definitely visit the hotel as a couple or with a baby (baby cot was happily put into our room). Thank you for a wonderful stay - we hope to visit again. Clare, Ryan and Kasra

Está muy bonito, solo recomiendo quedarte ahí si llevas coche, no hay nada cerca, pero la experiencia vale la pena, y nos atendieron muy bien
