Martina Franca hotellia

Plussat: Staff friendly and very helpful. Quiet, beautiful rural location. Very secure.

Miinukset: It felt rather under-equipped and a little uncomfortable compared with other B&Bs we stayed at. Could do with some cushions, bigger softer towels, more lights for reading, more kitchen utensils.

Plussat: Stayed 2 nights with two rooms.Everything was fabulous. Great peaceful location in the countryside. Lovely private pool. Everything was spotless and well maintained. Room was spacious and clean and comfortable with all the facilities you could want including good aircon. Breakfast was lovely and the hosts were so lovely and friendly and helpful. An absolute hidden gem. We will be back for a longer stay next time.

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike

Plussat: Impeccably clean, spacious and comfortable. Wonderful views, close proximity to all stunning little towns in Puglia. Driving among such beautiful setting with lots of trullos was a bliss. We enjoyed 4 days at this marvelous B&B, had great food in Alberobello and felt well looked after by Giovanna, Vito and Pierro. Best hosts ever! Thank you! Grazie mille per tutto!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Location is really great for trips. Great view. It was really quiet and the pool was lovely.

Plussat: To start with, we had a warm welcome at Red Rose. The B&B is small scale with three apartments facing a wide valley view, a beautiful well-sized swimming pool and a garden with hammocks. The Italian-speaking host wishes you a ‘buongiorno’ every morning. No worries, she speaks some English as well. We enjoyed the serenity, especially under the veranda in the evenings. Besides the tranquillity, beautiful towns like Alberobello, Martina Franca, Cisternino, Noci and Locorotondo are all reachable within 10-20 minutes by car. Also, seaside towns like Polignano a Mare and Monopoli are reachable within 40 minutes. I would recommend Red Rose to everyone who enjoys cute Italian towns and the good life!

Miinukset: In the smallest room, there could have been some more facility regarding the preparation of food and dishwashing.

Plussat: Breakfast was great and plenty of it the pool was fantastic I was able to leave my luggage when I arrived early and also when I wanted to collect it later on my check out day I had my own key to the main gate and my bedroom so i could come and go as i wished

Miinukset: nothing, it was all great

Plussat: A beautifully restored bed and breakfast. It was fun to stay in an historic trulli that had such a clean modern feel. Gorgeous landscaping and delicious breakfast!

Miinukset: Loved it all!

Plussat: An oasis in a neighbourhood of apartment blocks. Very close to centro storico. A lovely warm welcome from the owner. The quality of breakfast was outstanding.

Miinukset: Lacked coffee making facilities in room. There is a fridge in the room so why not a couple of glasses? Assumption is you're going to use it to cool wine!

Plussat: Super friendly people, delicious breakfast, very neat room and facilities. Even a great pool area (although we didn't use it)

Miinukset: The location is fine geographically but the B&B is actually situated in a not so nice neighborhood. Which they cannot do anything about of course, but it was not really advertised this way i feel. Also Wi-fi didn't really work but it wasnt a problem for us.

Plussat: Room in the trulli was excellent and a great breakfast.

Miinukset: Maybe a kettle in the room.

Plussat: Friendly family run property. Well maintained grounds. Good breakfast. About 10 min walk in centro storico. Parking not easy. No TV.

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: What a lovely place , the property is in a residential area but as soon as you enter your own trulli it’s a step back in time. The owner and family are very friendly and make you feel at home. The breakfast is fantastic and the room is extremely clean. The pool is perfect for cooling off after a long day sightseeing Parking is safe on the street and it’s right beside the old town of Martina Franca . We would highly recommend this for your stay in the area.

Plussat: The property was stunning - from when you first drive in, surrounded by vineyards and Trulli’s. It was an authentic Italian experience.

Plussat: Very nice Masseria in the middle of the vineyards and very nice pool. Nice and big room with jacuzzi. Well located at 3km from Martina Franca.

Miinukset: Disappointing experience. In a nutshell, I paid the price of 5 stars hotel and get service of a 3 stars one. I didn’t get the room I booked (photos were different), hotel is really understaffed (a man is very nice but doing everything), no welcome and nobody at the lobby, very very limited breakfast.

Plussat: A very charming Masseria within the wine yard, comfortable trulli houses to sleep in, nice swimming pool and located in a fantastic area. A must see and stay !

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent and our stay in the trullo was very comfortable and a wonderful experience.

Miinukset: We were disappointed that an evening meal was not being served. We purposely chose the property as it was our last night in Puglia and we would have preferred to stay on site. As it was we drove into Martina Franca to eat and couldn't park so had to return and take a taxi!

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Being charged upon leaving when paid in full in January.Receptionist wouldn’t let us leave without paying again.This place is dirty and the receptionist has zero interest in doing anything for the guests.She Booked is a restaurant didn’t bother writing it down and had left by 6.30 so we had to find our own restaurant.We asked for a double bed but got 2 singles.Lunch we asked for a cheeseboard it didn’t arrive and after an hour of dirty plates left unattended we left.Would not recommend.

Plussat: Pool and the room

Miinukset: Dinner buffet I would not recommend

Plussat: Great location, 10 minute drive to the city center but in a restful country setting

Plussat: Paola and the staff made us feel very welcome and helped in any way they could. Thank You. We really appreciated that. Our stay in the “ Marmole “ room in the main house was a mix between Little House on the Prairie and Downton Abbey. Lots of memorabilia. Breakfast was delicious , Especially the Austrian half moon cookies with jam inside. Pool area was beautiful and restful. The Honesty Hut is a fab idea too.

Miinukset: On our last visit a few years back the Owner had taken the time to seat people together on larger tables according to their language . This added to the experience and we met some lovely people from America and Norway ( who spoke excellent English) and we were looking forward to this experience again - Not just the food, but meeting other interesting people. He ( The Owner) entertained every one at the same time with stories and the provenance of the food we were about to eat. Sadly, for us, this seems to no longer happen . Although the lovely Lady who has taken his place did I a wonderful job giving information to each individual table. We appreciate that at the time there was only one 8 course menu available and now there are three options but still, our hearts sank a little . We felt a little like we were in a normal restaurant as usual. We appreciate things change and evolve over time . We still had A lovely evening and The food was, of course wonderfully cooked and prepared, just not with those extra memories. Thank You for your Hospitality Il Frantoio

Plussat: Nice classic italian hotel with a charme from the past decades. It is easy to park at the hotels private parking. They have a lovely little garden and a nice pool area. It is quiet Friendly staff It is not in the old town - but very close

Miinukset: The room was a little outdated. The balcony was not separated from the rooms next door

Plussat: Nice "business" hotel, maybe showing it's age a little, but with a nice room and good location. The room was very large, comfortable, and well equipped. The bathroom was also quite large with a very nice shower. Although there were not many people staying, they still offered a fairly large breakfast spread. The location is about a 5 minute walk to the historical center, but very quiet at night so we saw that as an advantage. There is also ample free parking.

Miinukset: No kettle in the room for early morning coffee. However we asked at the front desk and they provided us with one. Be advised there seems to be a street market near the hotel on Wednesday mornings, complete with a limited traffic zone and stalls blocking some streets. Accessing the hotel by car before 2 PM will require alternate directions.

Plussat: A typical hotel with with a modest bedroom and bathroom but with superior on-site parking and an excellent breakfast.

Plussat: Comfortable, ideally located to visit the region. Nice swimming pool and good breakfast.

Plussat: Clean and large room, located nearby the city center

Plussat: All was excellent room staff location

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Great place, fantastic dinner and great team

Plussat: Excellent location. Clean rooms and excellent breakfast

Plussat: The staff were exceptional . The meal in the evening was beautifully presented . We were particularly impressed with the sommelier and his welcome and advice !! The swimming pool area is relaxing and well maintained . Plenty of sun beds available

Miinukset: Too far out of town to walk but excellent location for touring martina Franca locoratando Cisternino etc

Plussat: Beautiful estate, tastefully appointed, elegantly decorated, great food, lovely outdoor spaces and pool

Plussat: The spa , the breakfast variety

Miinukset: The small room

Plussat: The service was good - everything in my room worked and the breakfast was excellent. If you had a car this would be a great place to stay. I did not have time to use all the amenities. I see folks had complained about the pool being green. I believe that the green color of the pool is related to the tile color and not the water quality. I found the pool water clear and certainly clean and warm enough for me to swim in mid-May.

Miinukset: It is a 40 minute walk from the nearest town (Martina Franca) and so if you do not have a car it is a pretty long walk to the town. The sidewalks are non-existent for some of this distance and in pretty prro shape the rest of the distance. The traffic moving fast so you feel pretty exposed - especially at night. That said if you had a car it is a short (5 min) drive into town.

Miinukset: The mattress and pillows were far too hard.

Plussat: The service was absolutely impeccable. The restaurant served incredible food, and help was always on hand. The pool was beautiful and well kept, and the rooms were always cool and kept spotless.

Miinukset: There was a minor issue with some of the electrics - but I didn’t realise until late in my stay (lights, sky box, and jet bath did not work), but I’m sure if reported, would have been rectified very quickly. Noise at night was an issue a few times - seemed to be a generator running somewhere.

Plussat: The breakfast is quite good, they’re very welcoming and friendly. The service in general is great !

Miinukset: The difficulty to find the correct location, the air conditioning who wasn’t working correctly and the bed was not really a double one but two simple bed put together.

Plussat: Everything really, staff was amazing, swimming pool was nice, big rooms, etc

Miinukset: Nothing to say here really.

Plussat: Upgraded to junior suite at no extra cost. Lovely room.

Miinukset: No hot water one morning. Very few people eating in restaurant so no atmosphere

Plussat: The basic building and grounds are lovely - a beautiful pool in a breezy, shady grove. The staff are nice and do their best.

Miinukset: Firstly, the "Deluxe room" should not have been described as "Deluxe". It was small and dark: I've had more spacious rooms in three star hotels, and this is supposed to be five star. We paid to upgrade to the noticeably more expensive next level up, which was at the other end of the scale - very spacious indeed. Secondly, the hotel shows all the signs of poor management with lack of attention to detail, with lots of little things which are individually trivial but add up: a light not working in the room, reception left unmanned, no toilet near the pool, unadventurous menus for a hotel in a region with so much local food culture, and several more. Better managed, the place would justify its price tag. As it is, it doesn't. By the way, booking.com's GPS co-ordinates are correct, but the address gets you to the wrong place on Google Maps. So it's outside the main bit of Martina Franca, not on the edge of it as the address would have you believe.

Plussat: Nice hotel at the edge of Martina Franca. Staff was helpful and friendly. The grounds are beautiful. Both lunch and breakfast were quite good

Miinukset: Not located near anything.

Plussat: Breakfast was really good, more than what we expected! Rooms are very nice and tidy.

Miinukset: There was a terrible leak of gas we just couldn't stay in the room (4 people, same opinion). I told the owners but they thought it was my nose! Impossible to breath.

Plussat: The environment, the rooms, the open air facilities

Miinukset: The WIFI did not work too good. Actually we end up not using it at all

Miinukset: Id rather not!!!

Plussat: Very friendly staff, nice location, quiet.

Plussat: Lovely setting and great pool. People were lovely

Miinukset: no air con unless you paid extra

Plussat: Ruggiero, his wilde and Son are extremely lovely hosts. The pool, tennis court, terraces and garden....everything one might wish to spend a great time out !

Plussat: THE BEDROOMS

Miinukset: Pool not working

Plussat: Location, restaurant.

Miinukset: Room 106 was very noisy for my niece. Pillows were too hard for all three rooms.

Plussat: The staff were very accommodating and pleasant to deal with.

Plussat: The old charm of the hotel and grounds

Plussat: Comfortable rooms, bathroom and good breakfast. We also enjoyed the hotel’s restaurant the food was fabulous. Congratulations to the chef and staff for the service.

Miinukset: My room had smell of cigarettes and I had to open windows to vent. I had asked for non smoking rooms.

Plussat: very clean and nice staff

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast. Large free parking

Miinukset: Cigarette smell came in through the air vent especially in the bathroom. The restaurant next door gets very noisy in the weekends.

Plussat: The room was adequate but a little stark

Miinukset: The hotel was further from the own centre than I thought. This did not really suit my purposes although the hotel itself was ok.

Plussat: Nothing at all

Miinukset: The hotel is located 2 miles out of town and it is also located next to a disco which goes on until 2 am so no sleep for the 2 days we stayed no apology just charged us and goodbye , this Is the last time I will book with booking.com wasted €140

Miinukset: The room was very very hot!

Miinukset: Not in the centre. You definately need a car.

Plussat: The place was clean and well ordered and the staff welcoming and helpful

Miinukset: Breakfast was poor. Some food which was not used on the day was brought out the next day. Cereal choice very limited. Even ran out of butter and bread. Croissants over heated and dry. Boiling water not hot enough for tea. More fresh fruit would have improved matters. Noisy at weekends as a result of functions in the adjacent building which went on until the early hours The main disadvantage was the location and this could be booking.coms fault because we were led to believe that it was a short walk to local restaurants and it was at least 1.5 miles along a busy road with no footpaths in places. The booking .com app shows the hotel at least a mile closer to Martina franca than it actually is

Plussat: The breakfasts, the pool, Anna and Celestino. Did I mention the breakfasts?

Plussat: The graciousness of the hosts was marked, and they took every effort to help us enjoy our visit. They are kind and thoughtful.

Miinukset: The location is hard to find as the access roads are very small, but the owners are happy to guide visitors by telephone if needed.

Plussat: Very friendly owners who made us feel really welcome and almost part of their family. Fantastic breakfasts, all freshly prepared and largely using their own produce. comfortable room and loads of outside space including lovely swimming pool warmed almost all day by the sun.

Miinukset: Apart from a small fridge there was no facility for storing or preparing food. Having said that, the breakfast provided is so extensive that there was little call for any more food before the evening!

Plussat: Anna and Crescenzio are lovely hosts, dedicated to service and ensuring the guests enjoy their stay. We were very sad to leave after a week at the Masseria. It was very relaxed and our 2 year old felt comfortable and there was plenty to do.

Plussat: The breakfast was delicious and Anna, the owner, served it in a way that make us feel very special.

Plussat: It was an excellent and comfortable stay at the masseria; very friendly owner, good biological and natural food produced and prepared by the owner, big and nice apartments with beautiful furniture, silent environment and no pollution of the area; it was a great peasure to stay at this unique farmhouse with its wonderful atmosphere created by Anna & Crescenzio; we felt very much at home.

Miinukset: everything was very fine

Plussat: The cordiality and hospitality of the hosts; the very special setting; the large and most beautiful swimming-pool; the calmness of the place; the very good price/service ratio.
