My family had a wonderful week-long stay, and we could have stayed even longer! The owner, Ian, was super responsive ahead of our stay, and sent plenty of recommendations to us. And Maria, the property manager, made sure we had everything we needed for a great trip! We even did 2 amazing & delicious chef dinners at the house (highly recommend)! Our group was 6 adults and 2 infants, and we had plenty of space in the house, and the location was great for the many day trips we took around Puglia - we went to 8 different cities in 8 days - there's so much to see! The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook at home many of the nights we were there (but obviously preferred when we were able to have chefs come cook for us :) and the property surrounding the home is just beautiful. It was a little too cold for us to actually go into the pool while we were there, but we did enjoy spending time out by the pool and playing bocce ball while sipping on afternoon Aperol spritzes! Overall, we had a great time staying in this awesome, historic home, and we would love to come back again in the future!

Perfekter Support (schnell, professionell, freundlich und nett) vom Eigentümer und der Betreuung vor Ort. Die Masseria ist ein sehr gelungener Mix von Tradition und Moderne. Man fühlt sich einfach gut und relaxed. Ein großer, wunderschöner mediterraner Garten und darin eingebettet eine tolle Pool Area ergeben einen besonderen Charme. Vor oder nach einem Trip zu den Top Sehenswürdigkeiten Apuliens einige Bahnen im 15,30 Meter langen Becken zu ziehen oder einfach zu chillen und dabei die Sonne und den Wein Süditaliens genießen, kann man nur empfehlen.

Nous avons passé une semaine fantastique entre amis et avec enfants à la Masseria San Michele. La maison est merveilleusement bien décorée et parfaitement agencée pour y cohabiter à 9 et l immense jardin aux multiples essences est un havre de paix. La multitude d espaces à vivre à l intérieur comme à l’extérieur nous a permis de changer régulièrement d environnement lors des repas. D autre part, le coin piscine parfaitement aménagé a ravi aussi bien nos ados que leurs parents! Notre seul regret: ne pas être resté une semaine de plus!

Maria est très serviable et réactive

Heerlijke comfortabele villa met alle denkbare voorzieningen. Goed bereikbaar, maar toch veel privacy. Goede communicatie met eigenaar Ian en fantastische ondersteuning van de lokale gastvrouw Maria!

Siamo stati in questa splendida Villa dal 1 al 15 agosto. Due famiglie con bambini e ragazzi dai 10 ai 18 anni. Villa con interni arredati con cura e un giardino grandissimo e incantevole. Spazi sia sul fronte che sul retro per mangiare o rilassarsi. Piscina grande distanziata dalla Villa ma organizzata benissimo con cucina completa e grande tavolo per mangiare. Lontano dalla ressa estiva della Puglia, la posizione consente di poter scegliere se recarsi alle spiagge dell’Adriatico o dello Ionio in base ai venti o di raggiungere le bellissime località vicine come Ostuni, Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Putignano.

Great house, great region

Our group of six adults (3 couples) thoroughly enjoyed our idyllic week at this beautiful masseria! It is spacious, comfortable and visually stunning, with lovely areas both indoors and out for gathering. The property is quiet, yet well-situated for day trips to nearby towns. The collection of books and reference materials was impressive, and Maria was attentive and helpful. This property exceeded our expectations.

Lovely

Wir waren 6 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder und hatten ausreichend Platz im Haus. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, so dass wir auch häufig gekocht haben. Der Pool liegt etwas entfernt vom Haus, war aber leider nicht geheizt. Anfang September schon sehr frisch, da es Nachts schon abgekühlt hat. Zu dieser Jahreszeit hatten wir sehr mit Schnacken zu kämpfen und leider gibt es an den Türen keine Moskitonetze, so dass wir sie immer geschlossen halten mussten. Supermarkt und Restaurants sind in der Nähe. Zum Meer fährt man ca. 45 Minuten. Der Aufenthalt war sehr schön

The house is quite something, the long approach to the wisteria-covered courtyard gives way to a beautiful and unique property.

We spent a week at this lovely, private stone residence amidst beautiful vegetation, olive trees, stone walls and an herbal scented path full of flowers and diverse plants leading to a gorgeous pool. The location is within minutes of a very charming, culinary-oriented town and not far from many others that should be visited. There are many places to sit and enjoy the property or to dine outdoors. The residence is historic, full of character and charm, but with every convenience and comfort. The owner supplies a fabulous collection of very helpful information regarding nearby restaurants, towns to visit and beaches. The gracious caretaker, Maria, is readily available for any questions or requests that may arise. In particular, she arranged for two fantastic dinners of typical pugliese dishes to be served at the house for us. One of the most satisfying and memorable trips I have ever taken.

Met 6 volwassenen en 2 kinderen hebben we de herfstvakantie gevierd in het prachtige huis van Ian. Het huis is comfortabel en mooi ingericht. Ian heette ons welkom( er stond een welgevuld welkomspakket klaar). De huisbewaarster, Maria, was ook vriendelijk en reageerde snel op onze vragen.We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in Puglia , mede door het mooie huis! Veel dank aan Ian !

A beautiful and luxurious house with a family friendly feel and great pool in an interesting area with good beaches and brilliant restaurants if you do your research. All our party of eight aged 26 - 60+ loved it! It was very well equipped and the gardens were especially good with lots of places to sit and enjoy the fig and olive trees and mediterranean planting. A little sneaky peak of paradise!

We spent a week at Masseria San Michele this summer. The home is exquisite with breath taking beautifully kept grounds. The grotto is something my family will never forget. Maria met us at the house and was incredibly gracious and available by text whenever we had a question or need. One evening her lovely mother cooked for us and it was a feast. We spend a lot of time in Italy but this was our first trip to Puglia and we were struck by the stark beauty and the generosity of the people. We can't wait to return.

would have preferred heated pool as I like to swim early in the morning and it was too cold.

This is our second stay at this beautiful home in Puglia. What a delight it was to enter those gates again knowing what lay in store for us. The house description doesn't tell you of the unique experience of staying within these walls. It fed our souls & relaxed our hearts with emotions from the moment we arrived . A beautiful house set in rustic acres of land, ancient olive trees & the feel of time stood still. The delight on closing those big wooden gates behind us ,looking towards the Monastery & the bright blue pool surrounded with chamomile plants ,Cacti & lavender. Within the house is a cool beautifully furnished place to sit & relax & just take in the eclectic stylish carefully chosen furniture & pieces around the house. The crockery, glassware all the beautiful little touches that pleased our senses. Oh the the many times people must say I " wish this were mine !" It was ours for if only for a week ,every piece of of this wonderful house & land to wander. Every day to to eat alfresco ,cook , swim forage & smell the herbs. Every day we would walk the land & stroll around picking dried walnuts & fresh fruit taking in the smells & senses.We felt a million miles from our mad city lifestyle. Evenings eating out in local but for sure the best of Puglia restaurants, recommended by the owners. But for us we loved eating at home, shopping & choosing many local products as our holiday bounty. The choices for our all morning lazy breakfasts on the outside dining area shaded & a chance to see our surrounds froma different angle. Our late lunches when we moved to the pool area with its fantastic outdoor kitchen & shady dining area. Swimming, lazing & feasting our days away in such a rural setting. Yet 10 minutes to the town so we can shop for fresh bread, cakes & fruit each morning. We spent our days as if in a different life it was an experience of something special it gave us back time & a place to be simple & to chat & just to look around & feel something which we are always seeking on our vacations. Thank you Ian & Dimas for letting us be a part of your idyllic Puglia home.

Absolutely stunning villa situated just outside a gorgeous little Italian town with food to dine for. Recommend to anybody, particularly families looking for a complete retreat

We had a wonderful week at Masseria San Michele, what a beautiful home among incredible surroundings. The house, gardens and pool were beyond our expectations, all in very good condition and well equipped with all your holiday essentials (down to every herb in the garden!). Conveniently located to explore Puglia, and excellent restaurants in arms reach. We'll be back!
