Angelo and Marisa were wonderful hosts. The Masseria was spotlessly clean. Our room was of a generous size with full en-suite facilities .A hairdryer was provided, along with a small fridge for use during our stay. The pool area with sun loungers, was pristine, and one has a lovely view over the countryside. Breakfasts were good with fruit, bread, pastries, yoghurt and eggs. Every other day, Marisa baked the most wonderful cakes. The white peach cake was absolutely delicious. The location was good too,.The gorgeous beach at Castellaneta was a short drive away, as was the town of Gio del Colle and Bari. If you are planning on dining out on a evening then Bari is the closest place for the widest selection of restaurants. However evening meals are served on request at the Masseria. ( Ask Angelo at breakfast time.) We didn’t dine in as we were out and about, but I feel certain that dinner in the Masseria would be truly authentic tasty and delicious. Here are the wonderful places we visited during our stay, some are a bit of a drive, but so worth it. Trapani, Taranto, Matera, Alberobello, Parco Archeologico di Egnazia and museum.( Be sure to visit the basement exhibition in the museum) The beach at Castellaneta, and the seaside town of Poligano a mare, and finally Brindisi. I would definitely recommend a stay at Masseria Ciavea.
