Nice but no dinner

Posted Aug. 15, 2018 on Hotels
Nice place lovely pool good service. No restaurant and miles away from anywhere so we had to go out to find somewhere for dinner. We did not appreciate when we booked that we would not be able to have dinner there. Room was very clean. Shower was not hot enough and cubicle leaked water all over the floor.

Great hotel, need a car.

Posted Jun. 3, 2017 on Hotels
Lovely hotel, very nice staff especially Roberto who couldn't have done more for us! Large rooms, huge pool, great food. Only downside is it's in the middle of nowhere so really need to hire a car

Struggling A/C, but Beautiful Secluded Masseria

Posted Jun. 20, 2016 on Hotels
Beautiful secluded masseria spread amongst the olive tree groves. Enormous salt water pool - but for the price, pool towells should be included! Unique masseria - beautiful rooms and interesting slopes ceilings, but if you need a strong air conditioner (which you will in July and August), sadly you won't find it anywhere in the hotel. Service was in general excellent, but the hotel restaurant just wasn't that tasty....

Lovely building but hotel like ghost town

Posted Sep. 20, 2014 on Expedia
Pros: Big room and huge pool
Cons: More welcoming service, better shower, five star products. More reasonable prices in restaurant.
Location: Location is in middle of farmland with lots of fruit and olives. Close to beach and easy to drive to other places in Puglia such as Ostuni.
Great room but hotel is geared for weddings not guests. Like being in a ghost town and service is not five star. Restaurant is expensive. Breakfast is good. Could go made here unless you like isolation. Good if you want to be alone or out all day.

Peace and Space

Posted Jul. 16, 2013 on Hotels
The hotel is situated in massive grounds with a huge pool and is very spacious. The rooms were comfortable large and clean. Breakfast was good but we did not eat other meals in the hotel because we found better value elsewhere. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel never feels crowded and offers a very peaceful experience. The hotel is well located for visiting the numerous stunning historic towns and the beach is less than 10 minutes drive away

Messeria Relais Del Cardinale

Posted Jul. 29, 2012 on Expedia
Pros: The olive plantation around it, the pool, the restaurant in fact everything
Cons: Everything ....and it is not an exageration!
Location: Out of the busy tourist track, beutiful and elegant!
Exceptional value for money. Italy at its most elegant , one of the most spectacular places we ever stayed! The Masseria has a lot of character, the setting is gourgeous beyond belief, the building is beautiful and the antique furniture in all the shared spaces makes it a very special place. We are always going to keep this place in our hearts as a tranquil, elegant and beautiful place.
