Castellana Grotte hotellia

Plussat: They were very kind and friendly.

Plussat: The owners were very friendly and gave us good suggestions on places to visit and where to eat. They also allowed us to leave our luggages at their place after checking out while we went sightseeing.

Plussat: A true masseria experience right in the middle of olive trees. Be careful with the google maps directions if you will arrive at night. Take the highway route instead of the tree road (not much street lights) It is run by a lovely Dutch family. They made us feel more like a guest than a customer. The room was super clean, spacious and the owner Anna bakes some delights every morning that go well with the italian coffee. They were super quick to answer emails as well.

Miinukset: Breakfast variety can be improved with extra cheese options

Plussat: Friendly host, enough parking, clean room, good breakfast

Miinukset: Early check out

Plussat: The hosts were so friendly, helpful with planning our day, wonderful stay

Miinukset: nothing, all was wonderful

Plussat: Everything! The hosts are warm and welcoming. Fabulous breakfast. Good advice about the local area. It was our second time to stay with them.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very friendly, Nice clean rooms. Very Good breakfast! When we were sitting in the garden they brought us some very Nice figs from their own garden

Miinukset: On the booking.com website they say dogs are for free, but for large dogs they wanted to charge us 15 euro extra. So they better change it to “possible extra costs”, like many other B&B ‘s. When I complained they did not charge us the extra money

Plussat: Very nice, helpfull and experienced owners who speak Italian, German, English and French. The room was large and very clean with a (for south- Italian meanings) good bed. The b&b is nicely situated with wide views over olive groves and the town. Truly recommendable!

Plussat: It was a wonderful location, with huge rooms that were able to fit my family of 5 (Two adults 3 small children) and we woke up to a wonderful breakfast every morning provided by Ms. Tina the proprietress of the b&B. (The breakfast provided is a European breakfast: Pastries, coffee, yogurt, and a small assortment of cold cereals with milk.) The location was perfect for a visit to the Castellena Grotte, the Alberobello area, and the ZooSafari. In 3 days we were able to visit all the main sites and the beach and we were never farther than 20 minutes from the hotel.

Plussat: The pool, hot tub and garden are available for all guests but right on the doorstep of the trullo which sits independent from the main building. Was very clean and comfortable romantic setting. Dinner on site was very good value and delicious.

Miinukset: Castellana has the impressive caves and a few bars but little else going on and a fair drive to the beach. I didn’t like the main town, was dirty and not the traditional Italian village I hoped to see but other quaint local towns are within easy each if you have a car.

Plussat: Hotel is very close to the Grotta de Castellana and has a swimingpool Large bedroom and bathroom

Miinukset: Decoration of the hotel and room is very simple but in line with the value for money

Plussat: Peaceful and relaxing. Clean and well catered, towels changed daily and good selection of toiletries. Good breakfast and friendly staff.

Miinukset: Would have like tea and coffee making facilities in the Trulli.

Plussat: Very nice Hotel. Great value. Nice pool.

Miinukset: Shower was small.

Plussat: We loved the room and gardens

Miinukset: Restaurant staff I think could up their game Plastic cups for juice at breakfast not great

Plussat: Loved Trullo - terrace and pool, perfect for us 3 friends

Miinukset: Little town was very quiet at night

Plussat: Great facilities

Miinukset: Breakfast was poor. Milk was off and eggs were too

Plussat: We liked the place , very relaxing and the room is very spacious and clean

Miinukset: The breakfast was good but I was expecting more fruits and bread rolls with a working toasters.

Plussat: Buildings and gardens are beautiful, rooms are very clean, beds confortable.

Miinukset: Breakfast, bathrooms, reception staff not 4 stars unfortunately

Plussat: Very nice hotel, with good price/quality ratio. Staff very friendly. I can recomend.

Miinukset: Please check the bathroom sealings - it is very old around bath tube- it is neccesary to exchange

Plussat: Staff was friendly and addressed any questions/requests we had. Good wifi signal Rooms are large and elegantly furnished with comfortable bed and nice linen. Bathroom is of a decent size and we especially liked the vintage porcelain sink. The domain is beautiful with nicely kept lawn and trees (beautiful when lit at night) with a pool and jacuzzi (although we did not use them). Good breakfast with lots of choice: bread, cheese, ham, eggs, puglian tomatoes, almonds, three sorts of juices, croissants, yoghurts, 4 or 5 different types of cakes, cereal (several types) and fresh coffee.

Miinukset: One slight area for improvement: serving fresh juices at breakfast rather than fruit juice.

Plussat: Beautiful property and really nice pool area

Plussat: Hotel representative picked me up from the Grotto Castellana in his car and took me to the hotel since it was raining terribly and it was after 19:00 evening The bathtub in the room is a great touch Breakfast was wonderful.

Miinukset: It is kind of far from the Grotto di Castellana without a car The wi-fi was NOT working for all the time I was there. The private bathtub in the bathroom is very shallow and it is impossible to get a good soak on.

Plussat: staff is very friendly and helpful.. Thaks

Miinukset: everything is ok

Plussat: The location and the personal was friendly

Miinukset: The shower was a little tiny and there is no dish to hold soap or shampoo

Plussat: The owner was really nice and the room was very clean and comfy. Just 5min waling to castellana grotte.

Miinukset: the room isolation wasn't that good and people in the morning are very noisy so you could hear a bit of noise in the morning.

Plussat: Very nice modern building, superbly clean, very friendly and helpful personnel

Plussat: The hotel is very convenient to visit the Grotte. You definitely should go to Hell in the Cave spectacle.

Plussat: The room is clean and my favorite is a Free parking. The guy in the front desk spoke english so its a plus. The fact that the hotel is close to Grotte di Castellana it’s a plus. It was such a beautiful cave. Definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Plussat: A cosy nice place with very friendly staff for a very good price. It was better than expected. Surely gonna come back asap! Loved it.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Remote location

Plussat: Really nice staff. It’s beautiful when seen during the day but driving back in the dark is a trek in general in Apulia.

Miinukset: Outdated bedding and things, but the bed was comfy!!

Miinukset: We stayed in the big trullo, which is not on the same location, but 5 min drive away. This is not stated on internet and the owner did not tell us! This means that you have to drive to get breakfast and/or go to the pool. Also, as the trullo has no address and the streets among the fields are all identical, it is difficult to find (although the lady was nice enough to guide us on the phone). Poor breakfast (food runs out quickly), no phone signal (of couse, no wifi either) at the trullo, outdazed equipment. Pictures of my reservation on booking showed a comletely different interior.

Plussat: Quiet and clean

Miinukset: Rooms and bathrooms need to be refreshed. No mini fridge, poor WiFi connection,

Plussat: A nice place to stay with pleasant surroundings. Room was comfortable and wifi worked well for us. Breakfast was sooo lovely - lots of options.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nice and cosy, the owner was very helpfull all the time.

Plussat: The staff of L'Isola Felice were amazing. Friendly, Professional and polite. The breakfast served was good and the facilities excellent. The Trullo we stayed in was so beautifully decorated it was hard to say goodbye when we left. All in all it was a lovely weekend and I will be returning next year. Thank you Barto and family

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The recepsionist was very nice and professional. A very warm welcome.

Miinukset: The airconditioning turned on automatically, even after turning off, after a few minutes it started working again, what is disturbing while sleep because of the sound. But after all I found the fuse switch special for airconditioning and turned it off myself. :)
