Review of Masseria Il Mandorlo Fiorito Valle D'Itria
starstarstarstarstar
My husband and I have just completed 2.5 weeks staying at this delightful Masseria. We’re from NZ and did not know Puglia at all. Pino and his family were incredibly helpful with suggestions of places to visit, restaurants, supermarkets and laundry facilities. They were wonderful hosts! It’s location is only a couple of minutes away from Ceglie Messapica, but still in a quiet secure country setting. We chose it because it was so central within the Puglia region and an ideal spot to base yourself and explore by car. The apartment we were in had tremendous character, and had been seamlessly renovated and integrated from the very old original building. It was like stepping back in time but with all the necessary mod cons. Air conditioning was appreciated, the bed comfortable and the pool area simply delightful. I would highly recommend any travellers who want to get out of the big towns and explore a more authentic Puglia to stay at Masseria il mandorlo Fiorito!
Sehr schönes, gepflegtes Areal mit grossem Pool. Ideal für grosse Familie oder 2 Gruppen. In der kleinen Villa kann man nicht unabhängig kochen, sehr kleine Küche. Die grosse Villa ist sehr geräumig, beide Zimmer mit eigenem Badezimmer und grosser Aufenthaltsraum/Küche. Die Vermieter wohnen ebenfalls auf dem Areal. Gute Lage für Ausflüge, ausserhalb des Dorfes, sehr ruhig.
Very nice, well-kept area with a large pool. Ideal for a large family or 2 groups. You cannot cook independently in the small villa, very small kitchen. The large villa is very spacious, both rooms with their own bathroom and a large lounge / kitchen. The landlords also live on the site. Good location for excursions, outside the village, very quiet.

The Masseria is in a good location, a 15 minute stroll from the beautiful town of Ceglie Messapica with its white washed walls and central piazza, the hub of Ceglie life. The Masseria has a beautiful infinity style pool that will keep the kids entertained all holiday.

Le lieu est absolument magnifique. Je m’y suis rendue cet été ( mois d’août) pour la deuxième année consécutive, et le charme est toujours au RDV. La Masseria a été restaurée avec un goût sûr pour les matériaux authentiques et la décoration simple donne à chacune des deux maisons une douceur et une sobriété apaisantes. L’accueil est chaleureux et discret. Pino, Maria et leur deux filles Maggie et Vanessa sont toujours disponibles pour toutes nos demandes. Impossible d’être déçu! Nous y retournerons sûrement.

Sehr gepflegte Anlage. War für uns zwei Personen perfekt, bei vier Personen auch wegen der Ausstattung vielleicht etwas knapp. Tolle Betreuung durch den Eigentümer vor Ort

We stayed for just over a week in July and found the location to be brilliant. Pino, Maria, Maggie and Vanessa all made us feel incredibly welcome and were wonderful at providing suggestions of places to visit and were only happy to book restaurants for us each evening. The pool facilities are outstanding and, from our searches of accommodation in the area, almost unrivalled by any other accommodation in this price range. The pool was spotless and cleaned daily and there were plenty of high quality, comfortable sun loungers available. The accommodation had great WiFi and air conditioning and the electric gates ensured our car was parked safely which was very useful when going on trips around the area. The entire place is completed to a very high standard and we would love to return to stay again. We would highly recommend you stay!

«Masseria stupenda, giardino e piscina veramente curati e bellissimi.
Abbiamo soggiornato nell´appartamento Ulivo: molto bello, raffinato e pulitissimo. Posizione strategica per visitare la Val D`Itria.
I proprietari Pino e Maria sono persone molto ospitali discreti e disponibili.
Una perla che vorremmo consigliare a tutti!»

«The hosts were very friendly and left us local fruit ,water,coffee and wine . They were a very kind family and made us feel very welcome .The pool was beautiful and all was clean and very well kept. In good distance to local town and shops, restaurants etc. Ceglie Messapica is a lovely town-also in good distance to reach other towns of interest. Would highly recommend.»

«Only two apartments share the garden, pool and BBQ area. During our stay the other apartment was vacant so we enjoyed a lot of privacy. The pool is real nice and large and right beside the apartments, so when our 2-yo was inside having his afternoon nap, we were able to sit outside and enjoy a swim. Our apartment (the smaller of the two) also had a porch, which was great at night for enjoying a beer or glass of wine after a warm day. Indoor temperature was pleasent even on warm sunny days thanks to airco in living room and both bedrooms. Owners were friendly and eager to give advise, and clearly take care of their property -- and natural expect the same from their guests, so perhaps less suitable for the more scruffy amongst us ;-) The town of Celia Mesapica is only a few minutes drive, so supermarket, grocery, bakery, restaurants are all nearby.»

“The family made us feel so welcome, the home is immaculate and includes a daily maid and a large pool which most of the time we had to ourselves. The photos did not prepare us for the wonderful countryside of ancient olives and beautiful trulli and dry stone walls on the area. If you like to run or walk this place is perfect. We had been worried about the location as this was a first trip to Puglia but the apartment is a 5 minute drive to the centre of Cegli,M which is full of good restaurants from delicious cheap and basic to Michelin starred and there is a good supermarket close by. But if you are happy to drive it is so central that Taranto, Otranto, Lecce and Brindisi are all reached easily for a day trip and there are several high quality beach clubs too at Savelletri, Torre Guaceto and Otranto. Puglia is a great area to visit ,and our hosts are rightly proud to own this masseria. Our apartment had 2 doubles but as there is only one bathroom it could feel a little small for 4 adults. There is the possibility of renting a second apartment which would be ideal for a group of friends . Highly recommend.”

La villa Ulivio propose tout l'équipement nécessaire: air conditionné, accès et vue direct sur la belle piscine à débordement... Le ménage est fait chaque jour avec précision aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur, c'est très appréciable. Les attentions des hôtes sont à la hauteur de leur gentillesse: verre de bienvenue, corbeille de fruits, Pino et Maria seront toujours ravis de vous conseiller sur les lieux à visiter et bonnes adresses pour manger, La Maseria est idialement située au cœur des Pouilles pour visiter un maximum d'endroits et proche du Centre de Ceglie haut lieu de gastronomie.
From R.S.
It was a great week on a beautiful location. The apartment “Villa Fico” is very large and clean (everyday cleaning), the swimmingpool very nice. Thanks to the owners for their hospitality. They made great suggestions for restaurants and excursions.

Cosa dire , appena rientrati da un'altra splendida vacanza nella nostra amata Puglia e subito ci è scesa una lacrimuccia di nostalgia . Una delle ragioni per le quali vorremmo ritornarci subito è quella di soggiornare di nuovo nella " nostra " stupenda villa Fico e ritrovare la meravigliosa famiglia Maggi che ci ha accolto e coccolato come sempre nella sua bellissima masseria . Non possiamo descrivere a parole l'energia e la pace che pervadono questo paradiso , bisogna andarci !!!!!! quindi non ci resta che ringraziare ancora una volta tutti Voi e darvi appuntamento alla prossima occasione alla masseria Mandorlo Fiorito W la Puglia !!!!!!

Dit was onze 4e trip naar Puglia. Voor de eerste keer in Ceglie Massapica. Onaangekondigd en zonder boeking naar il mandorlo fiorito gegaan voor onze laatste overnachtingen. We hadden het niet beter kunnen aantreffen en onze vakantie niet beter kunnen afsluiten. Na allerhartelijkste ontvangst door de 2 dochters van de eigenaren gekozen voor villa Olivo. Alles in perfecte staat en schoon en super zwembad voor 2 appartementen. Eigenaren zelf spreken prima engels en geven op perfecte wijze invulling aan gastvrijheid. Plaatsje zelf (ca 1,5 - 2 km afstand tot centrum) is ook heel gezellig met voldoende restaurants (reserveren via eigenaar aanbevolen). Gaan we zeker heen terug als we weer in de buurt zijn. PS: ook prima plek voor ontvangst/receptie/private party/expositie.

We stayed in the beautiful Villa Figo for a week and enjoyed every minute. The villa is lovely with beautiful interiors, a small private garden and a great pool area. Our hosts Giuseppe and Maria were very helpful and gave us great recommendations for restaurants and trips in the surrounding area. For us the villa was a great starting point for exploring Puglia on our first visit to this beautiful part of Italy - close to beautiful beaches, cultural experiences and excellent restaurants.

Die Herzlichkeit und Aufmerksamkeit der Gastgeber ist hervorragend. Zum Beispiel die hausgemachte Konfitüre und Früchte im Kühlschrank mit einer Flasche Willkommens-Prosecco haben wir sehr geschätzt. Die Ausflugs- und Restauranttips waren ausgezeichnet. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und trotzdem ideal gelegen für Ausflüge ans Meer und Besichtigungen. Maria, Pino und ihre Töchter haben uns wie gute Freunde aufgenommen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Der Empfang, die Anlage und das Gesamtbild der Masseria Mandorlo Fiorito haben unsere Vorstellungen getoppt und in Verbindung mit der sehr freundlichen und verbindlichen Gastgeberfamilie nehmen wir sehr angenehme Eindrücke wieder mit aus Apulien. Das Arrangement, Sauberkeit und Stimmigkeit der Häuser war sehr beeindruckend, und wir haben schon viel auf der Welt gesehen. In Verbindung mit der Landschaft, der Lage zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Umgebung, sowie der Infrastruktur war dies ein Volltreffer. Wir werden wieder dorthingehen und die Annehmlichkeiten und die Gastfreundschaft der Gastgeber geniessen.

We arrived at Masseria Il Mondorlo to a basket of fresh fruit that had been picked that day from the fruit trees on the property. Accompanying this was limoncello and fresh fruit preserves made by Maria & Pino, the owners. The owners and their two daughters were the most gracious hosts in helping with every little detail of our stay....ranging from making restaurant reservations, to reserving amenities at a private beach, to driving instructions and recommendations for the area.
The Masseria is beautiful. We travelled with our two daughters, ages 11 & 15, as well as extended family. Both homes on the property are beautifully provisioned with all the luxuries to make ones stay memorable. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in the Ostuni region of Puglia. Absolutely wonderful stay!!! We will return and stay here again.

hr schöne Masseria, mit viel Geschmack, edlen Materialien und Sinn fürs Praktische aufwendig von Grund auf renoviert. Sehr angenehmes Wohnklima. Der große Pool mit kristallklarem Wasser (am Abend kann man hier die Schwalben beobachten, die im Tiefflug Wasser aufnehmen) umgeben von uralten Olivenbäumen und von Feigenbäumen mit reifen Früchten macht aus dem Anwesen eine Oase zum Wohlfühlen und Entspannen. Günstig gelegen für Ausflüge zum ionischen und adriatischen Meer oder charakteristischen Orten wie der Trullistadt Alberobello oder der weißen Stadt Ostuni. Die Eigentümer sorgen auf sehr diskrete und herzliche Art und mit guten Tipps (Lokale, Einkaufen, Strände und Ausflugsziele) für eine Atmosphäre, wo es den Gästen an nichts fehlt. Man fühlt sich hier wie ins Paradies versetzt. Phantastisch!

Pool and garden are very enjoyable except for some road noise, which doesn't quite allow for total peace and quiet. We also found Cisternino and Locorotondo to be prettier towns with prettier surroundings. That said, both are within half an hour drive, and Ceglie has the advantage of being a bit closer to Lecce and the stunning beaches down south (Punto Prosciutto, Porto Cesareo,..).

Gorgeous villa with pool in beautiful surroundings. Conveniently located for Ceglie and surrouding towns. Supermarket and pasticceria within walking distance. Lovely welcoming hosts who are on hand for help and advice. Delicious home-made marmalades and lemoncello await you in the fridge. The villa is modern and beautifully furnished. It's light,cool and kept impeccably clean by a lovely young lady who comes to clean everyday. There are also regular linen changes and pool towels provided, and it is these little touches that make a difference. The pool is large and inviting and the loungers are very comfortable. It's just like staying in your very own intimate luxury hotel.

Definere Il Mandorlo Fiorito non è facile ma il termine più appropriato è magico..
Accanto al corpo masserizio principale ci sono due..dico solo due lamie di cui ,una ha 2 camere da letto ,soggiorno cucina e bagno con vista e veranda sulla splendida piscina,l'altra è una vera e propria casa perchè molto grande..con salotto,cucina,2 camere da letto,bagni e terrazzo privato.Il fatto che abbia solo due unità crea per gli ospiti una privacy totale e silenziosa anche perchè il massimo di persone che possono esserci sono 8....avendo una piscina di notevoli dimensioni e bellezza tutta per voi.L'arredamento ...lo definirei shabby-etno chic è perfetto dove viene fuori il grande gusto di Maria e Pino. Siamo stati molto bene e ricreati in un atmosfera con una energia speciale e da non dimenticare che si è a 700 mt da Ceglie Messapica...si può addirittura arrivare a piedi!
Grazie Maria ..grazie Pino..per quei giorni speciali che abbiamo passato lì da voi...ci vedremo al più presto... Semplicità della procedura di prenotazione Indicazioni stradali per raggiungere la struttura. La struttura era così "come è stata pubblicizzata". Consiglio la località. La struttura aveva un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. La struttura disponeva di accesso wifi/Internet. La cauzione è stata restituita secondo i tempi stabiliti.
