Masseria San Francesco

Absolutely gorgeous place! We were delayed getting into Bari and collecting car etc., but had no trouble whatsoever finding the place on Google Maps. The gated driveway and entrance is very impressive, even very late at night! We didn't arrive until around 23:30 and had no problem getting a couple drinks in before bed that night! It has a very boutique feel about it, though is extremely spacious, with beautiful surroundings and very well equipped accommodations. We had a 2 bed house and a 1 bed house, both had great amenities, including and iron and board (I did enquire prior and was advised no iron, so bought my travel one, but was pleased to see one there in each accommodation!). Outdoor seating and sun loungers were provided in our 2 bed property. All of the staff we encountered were lovely and sadly on our 2nd night we had to call the emergency medic out to one of our group. This was handled very well and although I had to make good use of Google Translate, the night manager communicated great via this platform and we had help out with no fuss and in around 20 mins an ambulance was at the property. Location is great to base yourself when visiting beautiful Puglia, and we also had a meal and drinks at the stunning 5 star Borgo Egnazia - literally a 5 min drive away - what a place that is!!! My only gripe is the cost to use the spa facilities - €40. Bit steep really and should be included in the price of the room. Understand that a booking might need to be made but to charge for this is unusual in my opinion. If this was an included benefit, I am sure more guests might book treatments. By charging to use the sauna etc., it keeps some guests away so they wouldn't even see these facilties or considering booking a massage maybe? Anyway, did not detract from a wonderful stay, albeit short! (BA cancelled our outbound so we arrived a day late!).

gps brings you to a totally different place! absolutly annoying when arriving at night and have to find your way in these narrow lanes. nice welcome once you arrive, however as a disapointment, the restaurant on site was closed... so again out of the gate and depending on the gps to find your way back after dinner... however the most annoying feature of this place is the 1030 check out time - totally unacceptable!

The resort was beautifully presented, our room was comfortable and included a spa and fireplace. Staff at Masseria San Francesco went out of their way to make us feel special as well as comfortable, to see that our stay for my husband's birthday was special.

Fantastic "Masseria" and very professional and kind employees. In spite of the very short stay this January, we particularly appreciated the simple but elegant interiors and the beautiful gardens, strongly recommended!

Camere BELLISSIME Pulizia camere e struttura in generale ECCELLENTE Accoglienza buona Ristorante buono Colazione sufficiente Personale colazione appena sufficiente (in particolare personale al buffet poco cordiale; il buongiorno crediamo sia un momento di sorrisi e accoglienza) Servizi offerti (parco giochi, SPA) ottimo

Beautyfull Masseria, well located (12 minutes to Monopoli, 25 minnutes to Polignano a Mare or Ostuni) Delicious breakfast served outside, wonderful , well kept gardins. Very pleasent staff. Lunch and dinner are also excellent. Highly recommended 5*
