This was the first hotel we stayed at during our almost two week stay in Puglia (with a side trip to Matera). It is about an hour and a half drive south from Brindisi airport. The grounds are beautiful. The reception area, situated near the parking, and the people working there, were warm and knowledgeable. After checking-in, we were taken by cart to our room, which was huge, well appointed, and clean, with a large terrace overlooking the pool area, the grounds, and the sea in the distance. The pool area is wonderful and very relaxing. A perfect way to soak up the sun on a warm, sunny day. There is a lunch and snack area directly off the pool, serving great food and drinks. We stayed five nights at this hotel and ate dinner at their restaurant twice. You are seated in a beautiful outdoor area, with a romantic and sophisticated feel. The food and wines were excellent (we tried their pastas, fish and meat dishes and they were all delicious, as was the incredible tiramisu) and the service was exceptional. Due to COVID restrictions, breakfast was served at the table, rather than buffet style, and in the same area where dinner is served. It was tasty, varied, and of high quality. You can order as much or as little as you want off the breakfast menu and it makes for such a delightful start to the day. What made the hotel extra special were the people who worked there, and everyone we met was pleasant, kind, helpful and took pride in their hotel. From the reception area to the restaurant, we want to thank everyone we met who treated us so well and made our stay so very enjoyable. We would especially like to thank Fernando, who seemed to never sleep, for his warmth, kindness and professionalism. A must stay in the southern tip of gorgeous Puglia.
