Really looks amazing. Everything is made with a style

Found it difficult to get a restaurant reservation as it is so popular so would advise booking in advance

The style of the property was lovely and the pool is stunning. The people were also really friendly and fell over themselves to help with any requests!

See above.

This is a beautifully situated property with a lovely garden and stunning views and it could be almost perfect. But there are some annoying, small but significant problems which it needs to fix. For example, the parasol umbrellas around the pool are made of a strange, porous, crochet-type material that means they don’t offer much protection from the very strong Puglian sun. The smaller rooms, such as those called “pool view” where we spent the first three of four nights do not match up to the five star quality and size you’d expect from the five star prices. (After we complained about this, we spent a last night in the much bigger tower room, which was lovely.) On the other hand, the staff are capable and pleasant, the food is decent and there are some enjoyable extras - pottery and pasta making tuition included in the price, and one evening we were there, an excellent live band playing pizzica, the traditional Salento music. The Ola e needs its management to pay more attention to these details.

I loved the kindness of the staff, the location and the room!

Before booking the trip I red a few reviews and if I should be honest and picky one thing that has disturbed me was the smell of the chlorine on the arrival! It disappeared quickly though……..

Everything was great and I can highly recommend! The pool is absolutely gorgeous the bungalows are beautiful and the restaurant is excellent

The garden view rooms with private terrace were very good. In fact all the buildings & terraces were picturesque & well kept. The food, especially the evening meal was excellent. Pretty gardens & nice swimming pool. It’s only a 10 minute walk to the sea, which you can see from the property. It was very quiet & relaxing.

CAR HIRE IS A MUST! Without a car, it’s an hour walk to restaurants etc. And don’t come off season, we came last week of May & struggled to find anywhere open. you are very much left to your own devices during the day, the only food available all day is an appetiser which is a few small dishes of nibbles. Breakfast is basic & dinner is overpriced. You won’t find ‘classic’ Italian dishes like pizza and pasta on the menu. It says close to the beach but in reality it’s close to a rocky coastline where it’s dangerous to enter the sea. Sandy beaches are at least a 15 min drive north or south of the coastline.

Beautiful, relaxing & clean hotel, friendly staff also. Thank you to Barbara who helped us organise a hire car a few days into our stay, which was difficult bc of the time of year. Gallipoli is the closest town, beautiful and tons of restaurants/ bars/ shops etc 24 min drive away. Otranto is also gorgeous - 1 hour drive. Special shoutout to Serena (usually wears red) she was a helpful, sweet and caring member of staff who went above and beyond to ensuring we felt happy and comfortable :) We would recommend this hotel for couples who want a quiet & romantic getaway.

We really enjoyed staying at Masseria Samenti, the place is lovely, the main area is well curated, the swimming pool is something very special and the rooms are big and nice. There was also a little garden in front of our room, where the kinder could also play a bit. Barbara, the owner, was really nice with us, as we went a bit outside of the high season, she suggested where we could find some nice open restaurants and she was also nice with the kids, giving them a little ball to play, which they could keep it as a present. Breakfast was also very good, as were outside of high season, we were served at the table (I guess during high season there is a buffet, but I am not sure) and it was all very fresh (fruit, croissants, bread, jams, pan cakes, ham, cheese, coffee, tee, etc..). It's also very close to the see, we just walked there a couple of time, as the weather was not allowing to swim (but we could not resist to use the swimming pool..:). All good, really nice place

Lovely property with a beautiful swimming pool and garden. Barbara was very helpful and gave us a lovely packed breakfast when we had to leave early. The property is far from Gallipoli and in a secluded spot.It is important you visit during full tourist season otherwise all the surrounding towns are closed.

The immediate area around is residential, not much to do, but 10 minutes drive and you are at the most beautiful Galipoli beaches

Beautiful garden, excellent service, spacious villa style rooms. The restaurant is Michelin level. The staff is amazing, kind, they treated me like royalty. I had a wonderful time.

The room was strangely set up: the sink in the middle of the room.

It’s beautiful and the food is really good

There is no additional snacks/ food apart from breakfast and dinner. So be prepared to bring something of your own to eat between 10am and 7pm. It is about a 20 min walk to the nearest shop/restaurant for lunch, also something to consider if you have no car.

Property was beautiful and the restaurant was lovely, we had two very nice meals in the evening for good value. Very comfortable and cosy room

Everything was good, the rooms are quite simple/ basic compared to the details in the rest of the property.

Beautiful pool area and restaurant with a view, perfect for a 2 day stay.
