the host, the pool and the breakfast was amazing. the garden and pool are so clean and well kept

The grounds with 1000 year old Olive tree’s & spectacular pool. Our host Sylvia so attentive assisting with numerous recommendations and bookings for us. The breakfasts also were amazingly freshly cooked, prepared & served.

Probably the provided hair drier could be updated.

Our stay at L'Ulivo was wonderful. Two minutes by car to the beautiful seaside town of Savelletri. The facilities were perfect and Silvia, her staff and Toto were amazing. Breakfast was something we looked forward to as Silvia cooked and baked everything and presented it beautifully. She was extremely helpful and made our stay perfect. Our room was a generous size and spotless with air conditioning and very good wifi. The pool was a bonus, and great to relax by after a long day exploring. It is clear that there is pride and passion to please their quests and we will definitely be going back. Highly recommended.

A tranquil oasis - very well located to must see towns. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. Welcomed like a member of the family.

nothing to dislike.

We had the most wonderful 7 days stay at this lovely masseria. Everything from welcoming us (Silvia contacted us before arriving to make sure that everything flaws flawlessly), to location, accommodation, lovely garden and pool, breakfast (delicious hand made cakes and local specialities) exceeded our expectations. Our host was so kind to always give us the best recommendation on where to go to beaches, what to see and restaurants. The atmosphere in this family masseria is absolutely welcoming and kind. I would recommend everyone to stay here.

This place is MAGIC. Silvia was more than welcoming, with everything she did extra, she exceeded my expectations, and I have to say I only book 5 stars hotels. The property is much more beautiful in reality than in the photos, maybe it was the first time it happened that reality was better than the expectations. The breakfast was delicious, with everything prepared so carefully from local products. Tasty, rich, great selection of sweets and fruits, with enough courses you could choose from. The pool is super clean and well maintained, the place feels as if you are the first client there. The bicycles are very useful, as it is far more beautiful to ride a bike towards the beach through masserias and olive trees than by car. I think that somehow, even though the owner has no control over who books a room there, the guests are choosing the host as well as the host is choosing the guests. Everything was perfect!

L'ulivo is a bit pricey, but it is well worth it. Service a cleanliness are impeccable, breakfast is almost a la carte :) The pool and garden area is beautiful and has a modern shower with a touch of nature located under an olive tree. Places to check: Coccaro beach club is nice for an evening dinner, the restaurants in the area that are a bit more upscale require a reservation 2-3 days in advance, some - weeks in advance. For swimming and sunbathing we were going further towards Rosa Marina, where the beaches are bigger, more sandy than rocky and cleaner, with beautiful turqoise water. Prices for 2 chairs and a parasol with a table differ greatly though, depending on the services and the state of the private beach. Paying more is worth it, if you opt for a paid beach. If you do not want to pay a lot, it's better to go early morning to a wild/free beach, there is plenty of those between Torre Canne and Rosa Marina. Car is a necessity. Rental plus from Bari is good. Opt for full insurance to avoid having any issues or additional charges later. Beware of ZTLs and Speed cameras, use WAZE instead of google maps, as both are bad, but WAZE is a bit better with private zones. Try and avoid speeding tickets, they can reach you unexpectedly within 12 month after your trip and, as you know, penalties in Italy double and triple during the period of non payment.

If you plan on using wifi - do not count on it being steady or enough for videocalls. This place is not remote work friendly unless you have your own internet (but the reception will also be bad). This place is not meant for work :)

Absolutely stunning property, bikes that you can use to go to the beach and town center nearby, olive trees, pool, simple and clean rooms, amazing breakfast and Silvia the owner who is an incredible host.

Nothing. Silvia made our stay so enjoyable and went out of her way to make us feel at home.
