The best part of the experience was orizino the caretakeras other have stated. He is generous and kind and even though he only speaks Italian we were able to communicate because my wife speaks Italian. He grilled us vegetables gave us a tour of the farm and was so very kind even showing us how he make caramel candy. The air conditioning isn’t great and the beds ok but we loved the experience.

We stayed at this wonderful villa for 10 nights with our family celebrating my husband’s retirement. Our grown up children and their partners plus our grandchild of 5 months. The villa exceeded our expectations, we were met by the lovely Oronzio who showed us around and explained everything about the villa. Oronzio showed us how he decants the wine and supplied us with plenty! We made a lovely anti pasta using the home grown tomatoes with our family. Which was delicious! He showed us his handmade oven and we made almond brittle on my Birthday. His hospitality was outstanding and such a lovely friendly man. He was always at hand if you had a problem. We have stayed in many villas all over the world and this one absolutely exceeded all our expectations. Lovely huge bedrooms and private bathrooms. Lovely outside kitchen facilities and huge dining table. Sad to leave but most definitely we will return! Puglia is a beautiful part of Italy to visit!

This villa was great for our two families. The space was clean and well set up and the bedrooms were perfect for us. The outside area was wonderful and there was lots of space for the kids. The kids unfortunately could not play soccer on the open grass due to the landscape lighting but there was a field close by that we learned of the last couple of days. The outside cooking space was wonderful and well set up. The location was ok; I found Campi Salentina underwhelming but it had all the amenities.

House is amazing, all renovated with AC in each room and bathrooms in suite in each room. Perfect for families or friends traveling together. Outdoor space is spectacular with full kitchen, fridge and dishwasher. Pool is a bonus for sure, particularly for the kids. Pierangelo and Oronzino were very friendly, attentive and responsive. Local supermarket just 4 minutes away. Just 22 minutes from Lecce which is a beautiful city. We had a great time! Highly recommended!!

We had 4 couples stay here quite comfortably- 4 en suite bedrooms. Communication for check in was easy. Please note Oronzino, who lives in home on the farm, is so very quick to respond- he doesn't speak English, so we used our translator to manage. The best place to cook was outside where we used bbq, stove top- has its own fridge out there also. We stayed a week so we had to stock up and needed 2 refrigerators! Kitchen needed more utensils to serve with and spatulas etc for cooking. New bbq utensils were delivered to us when the owner heard we didn't have anything to use for the bbq. Thank you Pierangelo. One thing we didn't grasp is that it is far from most everything. It's truly out in the countryside, at least 1.5 miles from closest town for markets. Note many markets are closed early afternoon for a few hours. The closest notable town is Lecce, about 25 minutes drive. The neighborhood around the villa is not great condition, even though our property was lovely. We hired a local chef who prepared a terrific typical local dinner for us! That was special and very reasonable! There are many places to reach within 1-1 1/2 hours drive from the villa, so plan your day trips.

We had an absolutely top-notch experience at Masseria Mattiani. We fell in love with the place and its beautiful region Puglia. The property has wonderful historic charm with many tastefully preserved centuries old items while offering all modern amenities that one needs for a great vacation. The owner Pierangelo and property manager Oronzino are extremely nice, easy to communicate with and make sure guests have everything they need throughout their stay and that they feel welcome and comfortable. We were a group of eight adults and four young children aged 1 through 7 and we spent a truly unforgettable week at the Masseria in late August. It offered everything we needed for a family getaway. The Masseria is located in a huge functioning farm with countless fig trees, grapes, tomatoes, other vegetables etc. that are available daily for guests either picked directly or so kindly provided by Oronzino or Pierangelo. Not to mention the fresh eggs from the hens who live on the farm and were a major attraction for our kids. The moment you enter the property, you immediately feel you’ve made a great choice. Everything in the house is clean and well functioning, 5 separate rooms with modern private bathrooms. Amazing outdoors fully-equipped kitchen area and covered patio with large table and a very nice outside barbecue with firewood from the farm. The pool is a few steps away, great size and perfect for young children. The location within Puglia also excellent for exploring.
