The only downside was having to go out in the evening in search of a restaurant for dinner. As the Masseria is located in the country side this meant a 10 -15 minute drive into Martina Franca or Locorotondo when you are tired after sight seeing and really don't feel like going out but just want to stay in.

A great place to relax and unwind. Our room was very comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge. Maria's hospitality was unsurpassed and she and her family.made us very welcome. Maria gave us a superb breakfast every morning topped by a freshly baked cake each day. Maria couldn't do enough to ensure that our stay was comfortable. Would love to return.

It was all terrific.

Maria, the owner, was delightful and couldn’t do enough for us. Our Trulli was comfortable and fun. Lovely large bedroom and bathroom with a suitable kitchen. Pool is spectacular and the Masseria is convenient to many fabulous towns for shopping, sightseeing and eating.

We had a great time at Masseria Faraone! Their Trulli house is clean, nice, and comfy; you can see many details there. Please leave space for breakfast, especially the cake; it’s great.

We had been completely stunned by the warm welcome. Maria runs with her husband the property. Its well thought through, cosy, and a central location in the valley. In a circle of 60 km you can do plenty of daytrips and you will get at the property wonderful tips for lunch and dinner. Follow the advices given. All in all we had been seldomly better hosts and for sure the masseria is outstanding. We enjoyed as well the breakfast, prepared by the hosts. Maria is a star.

No complaints at all just awareness that it is very tight driving the narrow country roads so make sure you have a small car

Beautiful property slept so well under the trulli roof, pool was very welcome after hot days exploring this fascinating area. The home made breakfast was outstanding so delicious.The host maria is warm and welcoming and very generous with her time. She arranged a wonderful experience at a local home restaurant which was in a trulli for me - the food was authentic and cooked with so much love, everything home grown including the olive oil and the wine it is an experience I will never forget - highly recommended.

Room smelled a little dusty/musky. There is no washing machine allocated for guests to wash their clothes and if you ask to use the owner's they charge quite the premium!

Beautiful property and wonderful staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay, including helping us to organise some emergency dental work that I required during my stay. The dentist they recommended to me was absolutely phenomenal and it really saved my trip from turning into a nightmare.

We had the most extraordinary experience at Masseria Faraone. From the moment we arrived, I was captivated by the sheer beauty of this enchanting retreat. The centuries-old farmhouse, lovingly restored to its former glory, exudes rustic charm and elegance. Maria and her three doggo's welcomed us with genuine warmth and hospitality, making our feel like a cherished guest from the outset. The Trulli was a masterpiece of comfort and  unique Puglia style, with every detail carefully curated to provide a true sense of tranquility. The combination of antique furnishings and modern amenities created an atmosphere of timeless luxury. But what truly sets Masseria Faraone apart is its breathtaking surroundings. Nestled rometely among the Puglian landscape of olive groves, but, close enough to Locorotondo, Martina Franca and Alberobello. We spent our days lounging by the pristine pool, running/walking or biking to Locorotondo (our favourite town in Puglia) and driving to nearby towns such as Alberobello and Ostuni to test the incredible restaurant recommendations provided by Maria. The attention to detail in every aspect of my stay was unparalleled, from the impeccable provided breakfast to the thoughtful recommendations for exploring the region. Masseria Faraone is not just a b&b; it's a destination that embodies the essence of southern Italy and culture We left with a heavy heart, knowing that we had experienced something truly magical. Masseria Faraone is a hidden gem, and I can't wait to return to this oasis of serenity and indulgence. If you're looking for an unforgettable escape, we would recommend this Masseria a million times over. Enjoy your stay.

We stay at Maria's for our friends wedding and absolutely loved it there, it was a great base. Although, we wish we stayed longer. The rooms were beautiful -so spacious and comfortable. Maria made us feel so welcome, the breakfast was exceptional - fresh and different choices everyday! Best in Italy! We cannot wait to come back and stay with Maria. Massive thank you! :)

We loved everything about our stay at Masseria Faraone. The buildings and grounds were immaculate, and the room was quiet, clean and comfortable. It is centrally located between Locorotondo and Martina Franca and we also visited Ostuni. Maria was a wonderful host and prepared the most amazing breakfasts with fresh local produce and homemade preserves, cakes and pancakes. We really enjoyed the beautiful pool area. Highly recommended for a relaxing break.

Most perfect stay at Maria's Masseria. Seriously, this place met and exceeded our expectations. What an amazing way to experience Puglia! It was so peaceful and beautiful, we found it hard to leave each day. It was super central for exploring this part of Puglia. We were there about 3.5 days and managed to visit several towns, all within 10-35min including Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Monopoli, and Polignano a Mare, for either beach, going out, dinner or exploring. Loved them all.. super charming towns. The grounds are lovely, and the lovely owners, dogs that live at the property, and the pool just adds to its magic. Breakfast is literally anything you could want and more out of breakfast. It was fresh, tons of options, and freshly made things daily. Every day Maria had a new dish or cake or breakfast item she had offered in addition to the whole spread. Honestly was one of the best parts of our stay. We ate so well at breakfast that we skipped a real lunch most days. If you're looking for an authentic experience, a serene setting, a convenient location (for exploring with a car), top notch hospitality, tranquility and beauty, don't hesitate!

Maria our host, was exceptional. Every morning we would enter the main dining room for breakfast. We had three couples socially distanced for the breakfast. The setting within a trulli was amazing. There was an abundance of food for breakfast, eggs served as requested, specialities of the region, cured meats, fruits, regional cheeses, coffee, juices and baked goodies that Maria made. She was interacting with guest and was very friendly. Centrally located to locations Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Ostuni, Cisterninno, Alberobello and other points of interest Great wifi A number of friendly pets in the compound dogs and cats Beautiful salt swimming pool - unfortunately we were no able to use given our city tours. My spouse and I were at her location for 4 days. Overall a great experience

Fully refurbished old masseria in beautiful sorroundings with most lovely owner ever. Maria's kindness and breakfasts were more than great, with additional huge plus in form of dogs and cats as adorable masseria inhabitants. We will definitely return.

Maria and her husband were fantastic hosts. They made us feel very welcome and were extremely friendly. Maria's breakfasts were superb with lots of choice and with great quality local produce. The pool area was well maintained and lovely to use! Would recommend

The curtain in the lounge area could be a bit more private as sometimes even with it fully closed one could still slightly see into the lounge (which is between the bedroom and the bathroom), but this wasn't an issue for us

We had a great stay at this family run hotel. Very easy check-in process. The room had air conditioning that worked very well, but it wasn't always needed as the room is naturally a good temperature. The property has a lot of dogs and cats, but they keep the bedding very clean in the room as I am highly allergic but I was totally fine here. The breakfast is amazing - we stayed at 4 different hotels in Puglia and this breakfast was in a different league. Freshly made juice, eggs to your liking, fresh pancakes on a few of the days, and lots more! Very clean bedding and towels, with more than enough towels. We will definitely be back!

Tranquillity of the place, cosy room (well equiped), great breakfast and pool. We also enjoyed our chats with Maria, who is an amazing host. Highly reccomended!

Everything was perfect. If we have to name 1 thing, a (natural) sunroof above the car parking would make it completely perfect so the cars don’t get so hot.

We expected one queen room for the tree of us but it was almost a complete home. Very well restored trulli home with old details and quiet property with an amazing pool. You have all around view over the fields. Breakfast is the best we ever had. Even glutenfree and lactose Free cake was baked for us. Maria and het family are so welcoming. Our daughter loved all the dogs and cats. You have a beautiful view on Locorotondo at night which is only 5 minute drive away. Also close to Alberobello (trulli town, altough very touristic. We preferred Locorotondo for its atmosphere and restaurants).
