Loved the hotel, room and pool area. The staff was great and kind. AC was poor and all night was 26C and hotttt. I complained but didn’t feel they addressed it by saying we can add a fan - which didn’t really help. Apparently echoed by other others when we spoke to the other guests. Hotel - please fix the AC problems at hotel. The Michelin restaurant was great from a staff perspective. Food was creative and unique. The wine pairing was well done. Suggest they start the menu first course sooner instead of keeping guest seated with water for almost an hour first. All in all, liked our stay.

A great location, a ten-minute drive from the town of Manduria, we chose this location for our mid-holiday stay after experiencing Rome and Bari, it was great to chill out and enjoy their restaurant and wines.

A great stay, very relaxed, Manduria, around three miles, (five kilometers), away, is delightful You do need a hire car, but that was not an issue for us to sort out We had the eight course dinner with wine pairing on our first night of three nights, which was amazing, however I paid for the indulgence the next day and missed breakfast. If you are in the area, and food and wine floats your boat, then book a stay, the Vinilia is a must, the location, the venue, and the team are first class.

Vinilia resort is an unique place to stay to experience an absolute fine dining and service that is provided. The place is renovated to the highest quality and standards. The atmosphere experienced is friendly. Fernando is an amazing person who will go step further to make you feel welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Property is ideal for two/three trip and provides an comfortable backdrop setting to enjoy the wonderful pool, grounds and wonderful lunch menu and selective wine options while at the pool. Property is truly unique, spacious and offers a feeling of tranquility as the castle feature 18 rooms, indoor / outdoor dining and a lovely livingroom setting coupled was fantastic art while offering guests a light and wonderful breakfast spread. Some areas / concerns to be mindful of though. 1. The property / castle is challenged with an AC system that cannot accommodate cooler temperatures which leaves the room temperature at a minimum of 24C / approx 75F degrees despite leaving the AC on throughout the day which provides an uncomfortable room temp after a long hot day. All rooms in the hotel cannot physically go below 24 C at any time period which was very concerning when you’re paying for a luxury hotel experience. The entire hotel setting (lobby, hotel rooms, dinning area) all are kept at 24/25 C and for these reasons it would be hard to justify returning to this hotel. The restaurant: The overall backdrop setting is wonderful but the menu/ food lacks the depth, flavors and or a true culinary experience that would justify considering this Menu. Perhaps a bottle of wine would be a wise option to enjoy in the yard but we would carefully suggest only considering lunch at the pool vs eating dinner at the property which we found to have many limitations.

Absolutely loved this hotel. It is a very quiet beautiful place, perfect for a relaxing break. Staff were so friendly and all seemed to be local and so proud and knowledgeable about the food and wines from the region. We would love to go again.

Exceptional experience! Everything just perfect!! I strongly recommend!

Incredible experience! Michelin Star restuarant and super friendly hotel service from all personal! Such a cool Masseria! Recommended!

Absolute find in the middle of the countryside. The pool etc…. Are beautiful. The dinner was OUTSTANDING. Service is bang on: efficient and friendly without being over-bearing

This Hotel was amazing. We loved our stay. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Une expérience unique! Site enchanteur avec chambre de grand confort Nous avons réservé une dégustation de vin avec Antonio. Très bons souvenirs Et que dire du restaurant! Une aventure gourmande mémorable!

The place is like a palace, beautiful and impressive , but you need to rent a car for transportation

Our recent stay at Vinilia Wine Resort was without a doubt one of the best Resort Experiences we have had. We travel extensively and have stayed in some of the top Hotels/Resorts in the world and can put Vinilia at the top. It is 5 star plus. The staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was exceptional. We felt very taken care of during our entire stay. We had dinner twice: the food, wine and atmosphere - tops! The breakfast buffet amazing with the selection, freshness, taste, fresh baked goods. I have never seen a better breakfast buffet anywhere. The property is well taken care of, quiet, private and beautiful. The rooms are well appointed and reflect the design and architecture of the property and region. We recommend them in every way. And we will return to stay there again.

The staff, room and the Hotel were superb. Very friendly, helpful and efficient. The food was excellent and we had a lovely 4 nights there. Only thing is that you would need either a Satnav or very good directions to find it. We got the GPS coordinates from the Hotel in advance and the TomTom did the rest.

Gdeat hotel in an old castle. Very calm, nice pool

We celebrated out first wedding anniversary at Vinilia and had a fantastic 3 night stay! The service throughout was impeccable and we were so well looked after for our anniversary dinner (food excellent too). The rooms are gardens are great, with a really tranquil setting (rabbits hopping around etc.) and a lot of the time it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Its ideal for a quiet relaxing break, but theres not a lot in immediate surrounding area if youre looking for activities, although they are lots of lovely towns a short drive away with excellent restaurants/wine tastings etc. Im sure the hotel will go from strength to strength over the coming years as they continue to develop it - looking forward to returning!

Superb! Fantastic resort, beautifully decorated, great service. I was upgraded upon check-in and I was so impressed with my room! The sommelier was really knowledgeable and was able to recommend some great local wineries to visit. This included the winery belong to the owners of Vinilia itself (two female winemakers), Trullo di pezza, which was a great way to spend an afternoon, in a lovely tasting room, tasting some fantastic local wines!The food was absolutely amazing too. Not cheap by Italian standards but top notch. I cant recommend this place enough for a relaxing weekend visit. Actually, it would be even better with a spa! I plan on returning with a group of friends in the near future!!
