Masseria Stefanodelconte

Promised the owner Maria that I would write a review. The "Excellent" rating was well deserved. First drove by and we missed the Agritourismo. Fortunately a friendly farmer showed the way. PROS: - We loved the place. It was quiet; a farm dotted with many 300 year-old olive trees, all bearing fruits at the time. - The one room bungalow was spacious with a modern bathroom. A mini bar (fees). - All structures are painted white. Several courtyards with decorative plants. All these features we liked. - A pool, which we didn't use. - Breakfast daily in the breakfast room. We were told that's where a former Olive Oil Mill was located. Some remnants of the mill was in view below through the plexiglass floor. Maria and one other lady worked during breakfast. - Breakfast offering was traditional B&B. Simple but adequate (for us). Many varieties of baked items, whole fruits (seasonal). Some cold cut. Breads and cereals. - Cappuccino and coffee from a machine. Here in Puglia, they serve cappuccino in a bowl-sized cup (like in Provence France). I had 2 every morning. We can order eggs cooked in any style. - Its location is perfect for day tripping to various hilltowns. We were able to take in a lot of sightseeing with a 4 night stay, albeit one heavy rainy day. - Plenty of parking (we were here close to end of season; but even during high season you won't find problem) - Secured in/out automatic front gate. - Maria recommended three restaurants. We tried 2 of them, and they were both spot on. We love seafood and pasta, and we were blown away by how good everything was! CON: Since I didn't set my expectation too high, so I don't have any "CON" to report. But the personal touch by Owner Maria was truly appreciated. We bought a bottle of StefanoDelconte EVOO. She gave us 2 small towels with logo as gifts. We so appreciate that. If you are looking for a Masseria in this region of Puglia, I would not hesitate to recommend Maaseria StefanoDelconte!

This is a hidden gem. The location was easy to locate, facility was well maintained. The staff was excellent and the rooms were unique in a very good way. Highly recommend this Masseria as it offers a peaceful setting surrounded by olive groves and supported by a great staff. Priced appropriately for the season and a number of sights and dining local to the facility. We would recommend this facility for couples and families alike as it served us very well.

Beautiful, well-kept place. Everything was so intentionally designed and relaxing. There are many nooks and crannies to curl up with a book in, and everyone in the staff were so accommodating. The breakfast spread was delicious and had some local/regional food like focaccia barese and bruschetta. There really is something so beautiful about staying in a masseria!
