Masseria Mattiani

Estancia inolvidable

Después de 8 horas de viaje en coche desde Roma, llegar a la Masseria Mattiani es llegar al paraíso. La propiedad es magnífica, tanto que las fotos no acaban de hacerle justicia. Bien restaurada, decorada con gusto y muy cómoda, tanto las habitaciones como los espacios comunes. Además, tener 4 cuartos de baño para las ocho personas que éramos fue un auténtico lujo. Pero hay más: los exteriores, colmados de huertos y árboles de cuyos frutos disfrutamos casi diariamente, le dan una autenticidad mucho más allá de un mero alojamiento turístico. Y finalmente, cómo no, resaltar en MAYÚSCULAS la amabilidad, solicitud, humanidad y generosidad de Oronzino, persona de honestidad antigua y encargado de atender la Masseria durante nuestra estancia y que siempre ha tenido un momento para nosotros. La casa está bien situada, en un lugar tranquilo pero cerca de todos los servicios y a 20 km de la playa y 15 km de la bellísima Lecce. A recomendar el restaurante Baccanera en Campi Salentina y en Lecce Alle Due Corti y All'Ombra del Barocco. A recomendar sin reservas.

Highly recommend this rustic Puglian property

We had a fantastic stay in the villa with extended family. As others have said, the outdoor kitchen (oven, hob, bbq, fridge/freezer, dish washer, sink) is a fabulous addition and we spent all our time cooking outside. The property is about 10 minutes from the nearest supermarket (Lidl or Conad) but you’ll need a car to get around. There are a couple of wineries close by for some lovely wine and the nearest town (Campi Salentina) has a brilliant restaurant called Piccola Osteria which is a must visit. The highlight of the villa is without a doubt the house keeper - Oronzino - who looks after you during the stay. Super friendly, speaks English (through the translator on his phone!) and takes great pride in showing you the local produce growing in the gardens. What’s better than plucking a lemon off the tree for your limoncello spritz! He showed us how to make fabulous antipasti from the garden peppers, tomatoes and aubergines, and then took loads back to the villa to share. Gave us a big bottle of home made red wine and also made almond brittle. Just the best free experience! The villa is quite rustic but clean and around 25 mins from Lecce. The other popular areas are around 50 mins away (Ostuni/Alberobello). We’d come back here in a heartbeat!

Amazing time at Masseria Mattiani

We had the best time here! The house, bedrooms and pool are lovely, everything very comfortable and spacious. The best part for the kids was the farm. Oronzino showed us baby chicks, frogs, took the children to pick apricots, lemons and mulberries. He made almond brittle for us in the most fantastic demonstration. It was magical. It’s 20mins from Lecce and the nearest town, Campi Salentina, is pretty with a great gelateria.

Masseria Mattiani

A beautiful place for our family of ten to relax and enjoy time together. We were very well looked after by Oronzino who brought us fresh tomatoes, beetroot, rocket and plums from the vegetable patch. Not to mention the homemade wine and frittata! The villa is so beautiful inside with huge domed ceilings and lovely thick walls to keep us cool in the 35 degree summer heat. But our favourite area was the outside pool, gazebo and outside kitchen area. We had many happy dinners sat around the table in the much needed shade and several bbqs with lots of local wine! We would highly recommend the villa for large groups looking for a quiet base to explore Puglia. We ended up staying home more than venturing out, partly due to the hot weather but also because it was just a great place to relax and be together.

Puglia’s best kept secret

I can’t stress how amazing this stay was. Pierangelo communicated days before on WhatsApp and gave me his contact as well as Oronzino. Oronzino who manages the property met us at the property and showed us everything. He was more than hospitable, he was simply amazing. He gave us farm fresh eggs everyday, fresh vegetables, sun dried tomatoes and much more. The property is heaven. The rooms are great and the in ground pool was meticulously cleaned everyday by Oronzino. He was very helpful at every point and communicated daily. We used this as a launching point to travel locally in Puglia and it was great. You would need a car here but we rented a 9 person van from Brindisi airport and that was critical. Highly suggest this villa as there are so many great things. We had adults, teens and a toddler and everyone loved it. Book this before the secret gets out!! Thank you for an amazing vacation Masseria Mattiani!

Extraordinary experience

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.
