Great Property for a Large Family Vacation

We had 3 generations meet for our Puglian vacation. Masseria Mandolori was a wonderful place to call home base for the week. The house is located just outside of Ostuni, a mile long, increasingly uphill walk to the old part of town. We made this rewarding hike on a few mornings for cappuccino and croissants. The house itself is lovely. All the comforts you'd expect, along with some really pleasant surprises. Cocktails are so much better with fresh picked citrus! The pool area was a highlight, and the kids loved the bocce court and ping pong table. Antonio was a terrific host. Upon arrival, he walked us all around to make sure we were introduced to our new home for the week. He also left a welcome package so we didn't need to run to the market first thing. Jackie at Puglia Holiday Rentals was very responsive. First class experience. I'd book Masseria Mandolori again in a heartbeat, and hope to do so again one day.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli. It was lovely to hear that you walked into town for your coffee and cornetti in the morning. All our guests love the outside area and especially the pool. As you say there are some hidden delights that we like out guests to find on arrival. We too would have you back in a heartbeat. All the best
Wonderful property centrally located to explore Puglia

This was our first time in Puglia and renting a property thru Puglia Holiday Rentals. All surpassed expectations!!! The masseria is very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with everything, bedrooms are comfortable, the bathrooms are updated and so much more. There are many outdoor gathering and sitting areas. The sunset views from the upstairs terrace was a favorite. Ostuni is a 15 minute walk or a less than 5 minute drive - breathtaking views, great restaurants and is a charming place. It's definitely not touristy like other small towns in Tuscany and still has the Puglian way of life. We stayed for 4 weeks and could have stayed longer. There is a lot to explore all w/in short drives: olive and wine tastings, the beaches, Unesco sites and other charming/historic towns. Antonio and his wife were very helpful and Lucrezia prepared wonderful Puglian dinners.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli. It was a pleasure to have you come and stay for 4 weeks. We always try to do our best for all our guests. Lucrezia cooked for you 3 times a week so that you could entertain and not have to go out to eat. She said you were delightful guests and enjoyed her time with you. We too love watching the sun do down from the roof terrace. One of our favourite restaurants in Ostuni is Osteria Il Tempo Perso, we do hope you went. We hope you return to Puglia again sometime!
Exceptional

The location is perfect. It's a very quick drive to beautiful Ostuni, but the house itself is away from the city surrounded by olive trees in perfect peace and privacy. The house is lovely. Perfectly set up for several families to share. Each bedroom has its own bathroom (with the exception of the downstairs bunk room). The kitchen is very well equipped. The welcome package of food and drinks was a wonderful surprise and very generous. The outside is absolute heaven. The pool, the multiple seating areas, the gardens, the rooftops it's all extraordinary. There were oranges, lemons, limes and figs in the garden. We explored our surroundings much less than we expected because we couldn't tear ourselves away from the house. Antonio met us to show us the way to the home and went above and beyond to respond to any questions. Jackie Lear with Puglia Holiday rentals was excellent with communication and information. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again and hope someday to have the opportunity.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli The location is great for exploring Puglia but also for the town of Ostuni and the beaches. We are pleased you enjoyed Lucrezia cooking for you
Masseria Mandorli, Ostuni - fantastic location

The house has a fantastic location in the nature in the middle of olives tree close to Ostuni. Inside, the house has a lot of character while being renovated (the air conditioning across all the house is very convenient). Outside the house is very well equipped with the pool, BBQ, lounge and dining spaces. The house is also very convenient for children and young kids (we had a 1yo and 2yo kids). We definitely recommend this house for a stay between several families. Jackie and Antonio have been of great support and help from the booking until the end of our stay.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli. We are pleased you were happy with the service we provided. Having air-con in all the bedrooms is a real plus when it is really hot in the summer. All our guests rave about the outdoor space and close proximity to the town and beach. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
A stunning holiday house with everything you might need

We had a really wonderful break, two families with adult children so we took full advantage of the pool, the table tennis and the table football. The indoor and outdoor kitchen areas were really well equipped and we had a wonderful bbq with fish from the nearby supermarket. We visited at a very hot time of year so the aircon was much needed, as was a car, to get around. Communication with both the agent and the local manager was excellent. Our plane was cancelled, rearranged and finally 3 hours late and still the manager met us at 1am, very cheerfully. Would recommend highly.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli, Ostuni. The property is spacious inside and out and our guests constantly comment on how well equipped it is and the joy of having air-con in all the bedrooms when it is really hot. The pool and surrounding area is perfect for relaxing and cooling down with plenty of shade for all. We are proud of our management team who go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay.
Beautiful property, relaxing stay.

Great property. The photos are great but even they don't do justice to this fabulous property. All the main bedrooms are lovely - great for us as a group of friends sharing. Lots of lovely areas to sit around the pool either in sun or shade and wonderful outdoor eating area. Lots to do in the area do you can either do nothing or go to the local vineyards, towns or beaches. Antonio looked after us well and We had a cook come to prepare a fab local meal for us. Definitely recommend.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli in Ostuni. It is a stunning property and most of our guests take advantage of the private cook service during their stay. We are pleased the property exceeded your expectations and would love to welcome you back again.
The Masseria was perfect

The masseria was perfect, very well equipped. The BBQ and Pizza oven nice touch. The pool area is large and the kids loved it there. We where group of 14; kids, parents and grandparents. The only downside is that the children room is downstairs, while all the other rooms where on the main floor. All communication with Jackie before arrival was smooth and rapid response. After we arrived Antonio took over and he was very helpful and rapid response. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli. We are pleased the property was perfect for you. It is a wonderful property for large families and groups of friends. There are 6 bedrooms at Masseria Mandorli, 5 on the main floor and the bunk room which is on the lower floor and accessed via the staircase in the hallway by the 3 main bedrooms. The bunks are adult size and past guests have appreciated the space this affords to have a large group stay at the property. We also hear you enjoyed our private cook service. We look forward to welcoming you back again sometime.
A perfect place

We spend 2 weeks in August in Masseria Mandorli and everything was perfect: very beautiful masseria in a calm and beautiful area. The masseria has been nicely restored and decorated. We highly recommand. The service by the team on site was also perfect for any question. The administrative work with the agency was also professional and efficient.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and found it calm and beautiful. Thank you for your kind words about the staff. They always try to make sure stay is as perfect as possible.
Extravagant!

Diese Villa ist einfach nur ein Traum. Wir waren mit 8 Freunde da und haben es mehr als genossen. Die Lage ist etwas abgeschieden, sodass man auch einfach Mal ungestört Musik hören kann und nimenanden stort. Die Villa selbst mit ihren Zimmer war top. Sowohl die Aussenanlagen mit Pool und allen Bereichen, als auch das ganze drum herum, wie die Tischtennisplatte oder die Dachterrasse - einfach nur toll. Wir können diese Unterkunft jedem empfehlen, der Mal ausspannen möchte und trotzdem ( sofern bereit ein wenig zu gehen) fußläufig zu Ostuni. Vielen Dank auch an die hervorragende Kommunikation und liebevollen Kleinigkeiten.

The outdoor space at Masseria Mandorli is so inviting. Relax, swim or entertain yourselves with the outdoor games, walk in the garden, find a quiet place to read a book, the choice is yours. We hope you return again one day.
What an amazing week in this beautiful villa!

It brough together two families, one from the USA and one from Ireland, reunited after 3 years. We made wonderful memories with our children. Ostuni is an intriguing " White City"; gelato, shopping, 2 fabulous dinners, more gelato!! Picking almonds with the kids, swimming for hours and hours, playing rounds and rounds of Buck Pitch. This villa gave us so many cherished memories, I can only hope we are fortunate enough to return someday. Arrivederci!

Thank you for your lovely review of Masseria Mandorli. Ostuni is a great place to explore and there is always something interesting to see. Masseria Mandorli is a fantastic place to stay for families and friends wanting to holiday together in luxury.
A Hidden Gem in Puglia

We stayed at Masseria Mandorli as a family of four couples and three small children. The venue was all we hoped for and indeed more. The space and shade provided meant there were always peaceful areas to enjoy. The pool, poolside, roof top terraces, large covered sofa area, trellis garden walk to a quiet seat and BBQ areas gave everyone opportunity to enjoy their holiday. We had an outside chef in for three evenings, the highlight being a pizza evening at the pizza oven... described by the family as magical. Jackie at Puglia Holiday Rentals was so helpful advising on properties to suit our need and she got it just right. Thank you to her and all the team including Antonio and the house keeping team. A truly memorable holiday.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli. Ostuni is a great place to explore Puglia from. Masseria Mandorli offers comfort, style and you feel right at home just as soon as you arrive. We are pleased you enjoyed the private cook service and had the joy of learning to make your own pizzas in the outdoor oven. On behalf of all the team, it was a pleasure to have you stay with us.
A stylish and comfortable house for five couples that I would recommend to anyone. We want to return!

We had a great week at Masseria Mandorli. It's a wonderful house and accommodated our five couples beautifully. We particularly loved the gorgeous large pool with ample shaded chaises, the five stylish air conditioned bedrooms with en-suite baths, great well-stocked kitchen for group cooking, large outdoor table for dining, the comfortable shaded porch for socializing and breakfast. Nothing at all we would change. The proximity to Ostuni for shopping, restaurants is a plus, while the privacy and beauty of the location in olive groves is beautifully serene.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli in Ostuni. We love the roof terrace as well, not only can you see the town all lit up at night but also down to the sea. The space at the Masseria makes the property perfect for friends and family wanting to holiday together but also enjoy some time alone. We hope to welcome you back soon.
Perfect Villa in Puglia
Fabulous villa with everything you need for a fantastic holiday. We stayed with our family and my parents and brothers for a week in August. We had such a super time. We had been to Puglia before so have done lots of exploring in the past so we enjoyed the pool and re-visiting favourite spots especially Ostuni. We hope to return one day.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Masseria Mandorli in Ostuni. It has been a pleasure to host you for two years running and to hear you would like to come back again. Masseria Mandorli really is the perfect place for those who wish to be in the countryside but also near to the town and sea as well.
Paradise
We enjoyed our stay at the Masseria immensely this summer. The pool was good both for the children, and even for a proper swim. The house was perfect for the whole family, ( 4 couples, 4 children) and the surroundings beautiful. The roof terrace has a stunning view, and each room and bedroom almost had it´s own story. Truly recommendable!

Thank you for your 5 star review. Masseria Mandorli is perfect for large groups of friends and family wishing to holiday together. We also like to the fact it is out in the countryside of Ostuni but very easy and quick to reach the town of Ostuni and the beaches on the coast. We hope to welcome you back again sometime.
Stunning Villa
This is a fantastic villa! We were a party of 8. Four couples - parents with 3 adult "children" and their partners; all arriving at different times but bedrooms were of equal fabulous standing so no couple felt they'd drawn the short straw. The 12m (mild) salt water pool is fabulous - perfect for floating, playing volleyball or swimming. We were a bit dubious about the salt water at first but all agreed it was far better than a chlorinated pool. The villa has every conceivable game - poker, scrabble etc and a small selection of books. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen ever - and we've been renting villas for 20 years. There are enough "lounging" areas to escape others for some quiet time. It was 40 degrees in July when we went and there were, inevitably, mosquitoes in the evening. However, I do recommend Masseria dei Mandorli as a wonderful place to stay.

Thank you for your lovely 5 star review. Masseria Mandorli is just made for large groups of families and friends to come together, relax and have fun. We are pleased you made good use of all the games. Mosquitoes can easily be deterred by citronella candles and spray, sold at every supermarket. The outdoor spaces at Masseria Mandorli are delightful, we agree. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime to Puglia. **For future guests please note the pool is a chlorinated pool, I am not sure why the guests thought the pool was salt water.
Beautiful villa which exceeded expectations.
The villa was beautiful, vary spacious and had a lovely pool. The layout was good with many different places to chill out and relax at different times of the day. Good kitchen, well equipped and the great idea of a separate kitchen by the pool with the BBQ and Pizza oven both of which were frequently used. The table tennis table was also well used. All rooms had very nice décor and were very clean. A couple of minor improvements would be the Wifi which could have been faster and was only useable near the router in the kitchen, Also the baby high chair should have straps. Overall it was a superb villa and I would gladly recommend it

Thank you for your lovely review. Wifi in Puglia is generally slower than the UK and perfectly usable for emails, social media and general surfing. We find out guests love to sit outside on the veranda whilst surfing the net.
Ideal family villa
Perfect villa for three families. Surrounded by olive tree groves and almond nut trees the villa is floating between Ostuni and the sea. It is very tastefully decorated with Moroccan theme running through. There were plenty of places to lounge around as a large group both outside and indoors. The bedrooms are comfortable with very modern facilities. The kitchen was a bit on a small side for our group of very keen cooks but exceptionally well stocked. There was several of each items, plenty of knifes, mixing bowls, chopping boards, glasses etc...the best stocked villa we ever stayed in. There are a few mozzies about, but if you keep the doors shut you should be on top of the problem. The swimming pool was a very generous size with a deep end for some inventive diving. Ostuni is well worth a visit, an ancient maze of narrow streets and plenty of restaurants to eat. Overall a fantastic holiday, thank you!

Luxury and Relaxation in Puglia
We had a lovely relaxing time at this villa in Puglia. The villa itself is gorgeous. It was big enough for all 7 of us to have our own space. The pool is big and has a diving board. The outside space has been well thought out with plenty of shade throughout the day and a lovely outside dining area at night. We even tried out the pizza oven after buying pizza dough in Ostuni and we were pleasantly surprised by our results! All the double bedrooms inside are spacious and kept cool with the air conditioning. The location feels remote and you definitely need a car but it really is only 5 minutes drive into Ostuni, which must be one of the prettiest towns in Italy. Highlights were our traditional meal in cooked by Lucrezia and a meal out at Il Fienile. We even managed to sort out a taxi for this night out! Everyone we met was very friendly and we would definitely like to go back, both to Puglia and to this villa!
It really is only 5 minutes drive to OstuniMay 2015
A Perfect Week in Southern Italy
Masseria Mandorli was even better than its great web site promised! Our three-generation family enjoyed a busy but relaxing week--wonderful pool and outdoor space, comfortable bedrooms, kitchen and equipment fine for cooking along with grill and pizza oven (both used to delicious effect). Ostuni nearby and lovely for strolling, exploring and eating (Masseria Il Frantoio and Osteria del Tempo Perso especially), good markets in Martina Franca and Cisternino, excellent fish dinner on our last night at the Lido in Pilone, good beaches nearby--all together, terrific.
