There is no doubt that the Masseria is "operated" with the maximum attention, you can see and feel that the family strives for perfection and all do it with passion and love.||Rooms, garden, the buiding look new and perfectly designed in -most propably typical apuglian style. Rooms are in minimal design, but equiped with lots of useful stuff and the bathroom is also 5-star.||Breakfast is plain but nice, local cheese, ham, and home-made pastries etc.|You should ask for alternatives as egg dishes, juice etc.||The garden itself is beautiful but smaller than we had expected. There is a terrace called "solarium" behind the pool, but if you room has no garden connection you rather feel not to come here in evenings as this part is rather dedicated to guest staying in garden connection rooms (but at least you might feel so, as if your room is not with garden connection you have to come out from the masseria and enter the garden from the street through an other gate).||I recommend this Masseria with love to couples and elderly people, who desire for silence and retreats to the room at the end of the day.||The acoustics of the inner garden doesn't let you enjoy the evenings with some chat and wine, as it will disturb other guests.|So you had better do it in your room, otherwise you would be warned politely by the lady living in one of the rooms. I think such situation can be frustrating for both parties that is why I recommend the Masseria for the lovers of silence and early...
Read moreDo not hesitate to book Masseria Palane! It is amazing! We stayed as a family of 4 for 6 nights in a courtyard room with our 2 girls aged 14 and 9. Linda and Roberta are simply the perfect hosts. They were both on hand to help us plan our final days down south and booked 2 beach clubs at our request, reserving our loungers on the best beaches, a boat trip and our dinner reservations in the evening! We literally didn't have to reserve anything ourselves. Even when we wanted to relax around the pool, we ordered lunch to our loungers which was beautifully prepared. The Masseria is well situated to walk into both towns for dinner with 3 lovely restaurants just a 15 minute walk. There are also cafes and a takeaway pizza easily walkable too. So if you want to leave the car parked up in the evenings, it is possible. The pool area is stunning and they have a little bar open from 5pm to 7pm to serve drinks at the end of the day. Whilst staying here we drove the coast road up to Otranto which look less than 1 hour and also visited Gallipoli which was probably 40 mins drive. Prefect spot to see both coasts. Masseria Palane is wonderful. The hosts ensure your stay is maximised for ease, comfort and...
Read moreWe spent over a week in Puglia, and this was by far our favorite stay!||Located in a charming town near Santa Marina de Leuca, Roberta and Linda have restored a farmhouse into a beautiful Masseria, with all of the modern amenities (beautiful pool, great a/c, stunning gardens) that you would expect, without any of the crowds or hassle of staying in a touristic area. We stayed in the Romantic Room, which was massive, comfortable, and wonderfully decorated.||Roberta and Linda have solid relationships and partnerships with the nearby beach clubs and restaurants - this was the only stop on our journey where I didn't need a reservation for anything until we arrived. It was truly a vacation, and we completely relaxed - all we had to do was show up and follow their recommendations; our favorite memories from Puglia came from Roberta!||We toured many beach clubs on both coasts, and Lido Elite nearby was our favorite (it had an adults-only section). You must also eat at Retrò Casa Museo for dinner - it was also our favorite restaurant in all of Puglia. Finally, they also have great boat tour operators nearby if you'd like to explore the caves.||Truly five-star service, and I hope to return...
