Masseria Bosco & Masseria Strazzati

Belle Masseria logée au milieu des vergers des oliviers et des vignes. les chambres sont trés grandes et équipées d un coffre fort. elles sont nettoyées tous les jours. la piscine est trés grande mais vous devez vous munir d'un bonnet de bain par mesure de propreté.elle est ouverte de 10 heures à 19 heures. Le restaurant est trés bon.le petit dejeuner est copieux. La voiture est indispensable. les plages merveilleuses sont à 20 mn en voiture ...Lecce à 1 heure...

Love every minute!! Hotel- It could be that there were not many other couples staying but its was so quiet it was like we had hired the place for ourselves. Everything traditional Italian. Beautiful old farm buildings with a couple of sweet cats keeping tabs on everyone :) . Away from the road up a long track through their olive groves (they make their own wine and olive oil etc) we even got a free tour of the grounds and oil tasting. We also met a lovely couple who we had drinks with. Staff- all staff wonderful. Quiet and respectful but friendly. The young lady doing the tour was delightful! Room- very clean, traditional, quiet. WiFi was ok but phone signal was great too with 4g all the time. Didn’t use the TV (not sure why you would while on holiday). Room was very cool and a great respite from the heat. Some reviews said the rooms were dark but I liked that. We had double doors to open and sit out on the terrace if you wanted to. The ONLY negative was the bed being very hard. I got used to it but maybe the offer of a softer topper would be good :) Pool- oh wow, this was like a private beach club. Beautiful area. Only saw two other people. If you go and ask, they will bring you drinks to the pool and we had a bottle of Prosecco in an ice bucket and it was less than €20 brought to your lounger!! Food and drink- we had an amazing meal here! Again, very traditional and we had a few bottles of their own wine which was very good value and was excellent! We would have bought 10 cases if we could. Please try the Nonno! Great coffee! Thank you so much to everyone there for a great stay! We will be back!

We stayed here whilst on a cycling holiday, what an absolute gem! Hidden down a long track away from the road amongst olive trees, this is a beautiful old fortified farmhouse with courtyard and a wonderful large very clean swimming pool. It’s rural, away from the town so is a lovely peaceful, secluded location. We received a lovely warm welcome and drink of orange juice which we were very grateful for after a days cycling in the sun. The room was spacious with lovely little sample toiletries they make from their own olive oil. The service was excellent, the staff could not have been more lovely! And the food was delicious and beautifully presented. A beautiful place to stay, thank you for looking after us so well.

Non ci andate! Se amate la confusione, il caos, il rumore di sottofondo delle macchine che passano sulla statale, non ci andate. Se non amate boschi di ulivi sterminati che delimitano strade sterrate da percorrere nel silenzio più assoluto, con il sottofondo di cicale che cantano ininterrottamente e vi accompagnano verso una Masseria rimasta magicamente ferma in un tempo non definito, con una piscina meravigliosa, un ristorante di livello importante a prezzi sostenibili, il tutto gestito da ragazzi professionali, disponibili, educati e con potenziale enorme di crescita, allora non ci andate. E se avrete la sfortuna di capitare alla Masseria Strazzati, dependance della Masseria Bosco, allora potrete davvero comprendere cosa significa il termine Slow Living. Noi ci siamo innamorati, e siamo ripartiti con un grande dispiacere nel cuore. Grazie a tutto lo staff, siete meravigliosi. Grazie. Andrea & Loretta.

Er zijn onwijs veel mieren op het terrein, in de kamer en zelfs in het bed! Op de terugweg naar huis vinden we deze nog over ons lichaam, in de tassen en koffers... Betreft de bedden in de kamer; de lakens zijn geen enkele keer verschoond, alleen netjes opgemaakt. Dit konden we zien, omdat er al een vlek op de lakens zat toen we in de masseria aankwamen. De bedden zijn oud, hard en je voelt de veren prikken. Wij zijn echt harde bedden gewend en geven hier voorkeur aan, maar als je op je zij ligt en je voelt het ijzer in je prikken, is dat zeker niet oké (Voor de duidelijkheid, wij zijn 60 en 75 kg). Nadat we dit hebben aangeven is er een soort molton opgelegd, wat zij een 'topper' noemen. Dit levert uiteraard geen positievere bijdrage. Na twee slapeloze nachten stonden we beide met rug en nekklachten op. Na enkele gesprekken wordt er aangegeven dat ze geen nieuwe matrassen gaan regelen. Ze raden ons aan contact met de reisorganisatie op te nemen voor een ander verblijf, en dat het beter is als we elders verblijven. Nadat we dit hebben aangegeven is er merkbaar verschil in het benaderen vanuit de medewerkers. Enkele werknemers lijken sowieso liever ergens anders te zijn dan hier. Een glimlach kan er nog net vanaf. De bedden bij het zwembad liggen matig, zijn erg hard en als ze plat liggen voel je de rand in je huid, die ook daarna zichtbaar blijven. De mogelijkheid tot liggen in de schaduw is lastig, ondanks de parasols. Er is zeer slechte WiFi verbinding aanwezig. Soms lijkt het alsof ze ('s avonds) de stekker eruit hebben getrokken - dan is er helemaal geen of weinig verbinding te krijgen, want het bereik is hier minimaal. Het ontbijt is karig in aanbod en elke ochtend hetzelfde, op de jam op de taart na. Het eten 's avonds in het restaurant is top echt een aanrader! Verder is het een prachtige plek, waar je de authenticiteit van de boerderij echt terug ziet.

Abbiamo scoperto questa oasi di pace gli ultimi giorni delle vacanze estive. Peccato non averlo fatto prima. Abbiamo provato solo la cucina, deliziosa. Personale gentilissimo e attento, bellezza della struttura da segnalare. Peccato non essere riusciti a trovarvi una sistemazione. Consigliatissimo a chi vuole trovare tranquillità e relax.
