Great place for the area.

We booked this great place because it was central to places, we wanted to travel. We made many day trips to different parts of the Puglia region The groundkeeper was very nice and is very handy with his phone to translate Italian and English. We had a great time, and the outdoor cooking faculties were amazing.

Amazing time at Masseria mattiani

We had the best time here! The house, bedrooms and pool are lovely, everything very comfortable and spacious. The best part for the kids was the farm. Oronzino showed us baby chicks, frogs, took the children to pick apricots, lemons and mulberries. He made almond brittle for us in the most fantastic demonstration. It was magical. It’s 20mins from Lecce and the nearest town, campi salentina, is pretty with a great gelateria.

Great experience in Puglia

We spent a whole week with a group of friends at Masseria Mattiani. We had a great time there. The villa had everything what we were looking for. On top, Ononziano made our time even better there, providing us with fresh vegetables, fruits and red wine everyday. He was so guest friendly and was spreading so much positive vibes. The property includes also fig trees and a wineyard, making the overall experience even better.

Masseria mattiani

A beautiful place for our family of ten to relax and enjoy time together. We were very well looked after by Oronzino who brought us fresh tomatoes, beetroot, rocket and plums from the vegetable patch. Not to mention the homemade wine and frittata!The villa is so beautiful inside with huge domed ceilings and lovely thick walls to keep us cool in the 35 degree summer heat. But our favourite area was the outside pool, gazebo and outside kitchen area. We had many happy dinners sat around the table in the much needed shade and several bbqs with lots of local wine!We would highly recommend the villa for large groups looking for a quiet base to explore Puglia. We ended up staying home more than venturing out, partly due to the hot weather but also because it was just a great place to relax and be together.

Great villa. We were a party of 7 and all loved the villa. Very comfortable rooms and bedS. Pool really lovely. Lots of swimming by everyone. Easy to access Lecce, Otranto, Gallipoli, Brindisi, Alborebello, Ostuni and Monopoli - all 30-75 minutes by car. The property is on a farm and the farm manager, Oranzino, was really helpful. Endless figs, apricots and tomatoes from the garden were a delight.

Nice villa

This villa was great for our two families. The space was clean and well set up and the bedrooms were perfect for us. The outside area was wonderful and there was lots of space for the kids. The kids unfortunately could not play soccer on the open grass due to the landscape lighting but there was a field close by that we learned of the last couple of days. The outside cooking space was wonderful and well set up. The location was ok; I found Campi Salentina underwhelming but it had all the amenities.

Highly recommend this rustic Puglian property

We had a fantastic stay in the villa with extended family,As other have said, the outdoor kitchen (oven, hob, bbq, fridge/freezer, dish washer, sink) are a fabulous edition and we spent all our time cooking outside.The property is about 10 minutes from the nearest supermarket (Lidl or Conad) but you’ll need a car to get around.There are a couple of wineries close by for some lovely wine and the nearest town (Campi Salentina) has a brilliant restaurant called Piccola Osteria which is a must visit.The highlight of the villa is without a doubt the house keeper - Oronzino - who looks after you during the stay. Super friendly, speaks English (through the translator on his phone!) and takes great pride in showing you the local produce growing the gardens. What’s better than plucking a lemon off the tree for your lemon cello spritz!He showed us how to make fabulous antipasti from the garden peppers, tomatoes and aubergines, and then took loads back to the villa to share. Gave us a big bottle of home made red wine and also made almond brittle. Just the best free experience!The villa is quite rustic but clean and around 25 mins from Lecce. The other popular areas are around 50 mins away (Ostuni/Alberobello).We’d come back here in a heartbeat!

Hidden Gem

We stayed at this wonderful villa for 10 nights with our family celebrating my husband’s retirement. Our grown up children and their partners plus our grandchild of 5 months. The villa exceeded our expectations, we were met by the lovely Oronzio who showed us around and explained everything about the villa. Oronzio showed us how he decants the wine and supplied us with plenty! We made a lovely anti pasta using the home grown tomatoes with our family. Which was delicious! He showed us his handmade oven and we made almond brittle on my Birthday. His hospitality was outstanding and such a lovely friendly man. He was always at hand if you had a problem. We have stayed in many villas all over the world and this one absolutely exceeded all our expectations. Lovely huge bedrooms and private bathrooms. Lovely outside kitchen facilities and huge dining table. Sad to leave but most definitely we will return! Puglia is a beautiful part of Italy to visit!

Puglia’s best kept secret

I can’t stress how amazing this stay was. Pierangelo communicated days before on What’s app and gave me his contact as well as Oronzino. Oronzino who manages the property met us at the property and showed us everything. He was more than hospitable he was simply amazing. He gave us farm fresh eggs everyday, fresh vegetables, sun dried tomatoes and much more. The property is heaven. The rooms are great and the in ground pool was meticulously cleaned everyday by Oronzino. He was very helpful at every point and communicated daily. We used this as a launching point to travel locally in Puglia and it was great. You would need a car here but we rented a 9 person van from Brindisi airport and that was critical. Highly suggest this villa as there are so many great things. We had adults, teens and a toddler and everyone loved it. Book this before the secret gets out!! Thank you for an amazing vacation Masseria Mattiani!

Extraordinary experience

We had an absolutely top-notch experience at Masseria Mattiani. We fell in love with the place and its beautiful region Puglia. The property has wonderful historic charm with many tastefully preserved centuries old items while offering all modern amenities that one needs for a great vacation. The owner Pierangelo and property manager Oronzino are extremely nice, easy to communicate with and make sure guests have everything they need throughout their stay and that they feel welcome and comfortable. We were a group of eight adults and four young children aged 1 through 7 and we spent a truly unforgettable week at the Masseria in late August. It offered everything we needed for a family getaway. The Masseria is located in a huge functioning farm with countless fig trees, grapes, tomatoes, other vegetables etc. that are available daily for guests either picked directly or so kindly provided by Oronzino or Pierangelo. Not to mention the fresh eggs from the hens who live on the farm and were a major attraction for our kids. The moment you enter the property, you immediately feel you’ve made a great choice. Everything in the house is clean and well functioning, 5 separate rooms with modern private bathrooms. Amazing outdoors fully-equipped kitchen area and covered patio with large table and a very nice outside barbecue with firewood from the farm. The pool is a few steps away, great size and perfect for young children. The location within Puglia also excellent for exploring.

Charming villa in countryside

We had 4 couples stay here quite comfortably- 4 en suite bedrooms. Communication for check in was easy. Please note Oronzino, who lives in home on the farm, is so very quick to respond- he doesn't speak English, so we used our translator to manage. The best place to cook was outside where we used bbq, stove top- has its own fridge out there also. We stayed a week so we had to stock up and needed 2 refrigerators! Kitchen needed more utensils to serve with and spatulas etc for cooking. New bbq utensils were delivered to us when the owner heard we didn't have anything to use for the bbq. Thank you Pierangelo. One thing we didn't grasp is that it is far from most everything. It's truly out in the countryside, at least 1.5 miles from closest town for markets. Note many markets are closed early afternoon for a few hours. The closest notable town is Lecce, about 25 minutes drive. The neighborhood around the villa is not great condition, even though our property was lovely. We hired a local chef who prepared a terrific typical local dinner for us! That was special and very reasonable! There are many places to reach within 1-1 1/2 hours drive from the villa, so plan your day trips.

More than expected

If you are looking for a place where you can find comfortable, lovely atmosphere, peace and safety, as well as hospitality, Masseria Mattiani is what you need. Staying in Masseria gave us everything we wanted and even more. First of all, I note that the information on the site, photos, description of the Masseria are absolutely true and real. So I will not repeat it ... If you have questions, you can refer to seignior Pierre Angelo and get a full detailed answer. Speaking specifically about us, Masseria was a great option for a group (we were 8 people). Each family had a separate bedroom. There are 4 toilets and a cozy living room where you can spend the time together. There is fully equipped kitchen and a patio where guests can enjoy breakfast and dinner. By the courtesy of the owners, we could freely use the fruits and vegetables from the beautiful and huge garden. The main thing is that here you feel yourself like visiting the best friends. The owner signor Pierangelo and the manager signor Oronzino are ready to help in every way. There was no one question or request that they would not help to solve. Thanks to them, we had no problems with car rental, transfers and so on. Location of Masseria is very convenient if you have a car. Close to a couple of supermarkets. In 20 minutes there is a hypermarket. We drove to the beaches on the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea. The nearest beach is 30 minutes away. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to visit all the attractions that were planned. So, I can strongly recommend the house to groups of tourists. Many thanks to signor Pierangel, his charming wife and signor Oronzino for everything. Thanks to them, we loved Italy, Puglia, and the people who live there. We really want to go back ...

Fantastic property with excellent customer service

We spent 2 weeks at Matteria Massiani in August, as an extended family of grandparents, parents and children. We booked ore Covid and were uncertain whether the trip would be cancelled. Pierangelo was very helpful, allowing a delay in second payment until the position became clearer and giving us updates on the situation in Puglia. We were let down by our rental vehicle company only weeks before the holiday but Pierangelo suggested a local family run business from whom we took a minibus hire ( and who also did airport transfers) Borelli Autos were excellent, cost 30% less than airport hire and no hastle over insurance etc. The house is wonderful. Tastefully renovated, very spacious with high, beautiful exposed brick ceilings. Lots of original features. Bedrooms are large and all beds and bedding high quality. Good air con. Well stocked kitchen. One of the highlights is the outside kitchen under the canopy where we did all our cooking, with two long tables each seating 8 where we ate each day. Good wi - fi. The grounds are extensive and with a large pool with comfortable loungers for all. The pool is single depth, great for children. Oronzino, the farmer who has his farmhouse elsewhere ( but separate) on the land was great. He met us on arrival, showed us around and was on hand for any issues. He brought us fruits, eggs from his chickens, fantastic onions and the Most delicious tomatoes. The children loved him showing them the hens, picking fabulous figs and collecting other items. On one occasion Oronzino invited us into his house where he was roasting tomatoes in his wood fired over, which we peeled, mixing with herbs, garlic and Local olive oil. Wonderful. Campi Salentina the local Town has a number of supermarkets and restaurants. The menus are slightly limited but nonetheless satisfying. We made trips to Lecce and Bridisi, the latter providing the best food of seafood and pasta on the harbour front. We ventured to beaches but they are very busy and a little unnerving due to Covid and social distancing but the trick is to arrive early and be prepared to leave after lunch when it gets very busy. Overall we had a wonderful time and thoroughly recommend Masseria Mattiani.
