Gianfranco Fino Viticoltore

“Exceptional wines paired with a stunning location made for an unforgettable experience”

The staff were very professional and helpful with dinner recommendations, and the vineyard was excellently located just outside Manduria, near the Primitivo museum; the wine tasting we had was outstanding and the wines were exceptional. However, shortly before our arrival the chef fell ill and the restaurant had to close, so we missed the tasting menu we had been looking forward to.

“Too expensive for what is offered. The wine is just the best, but the experience is not worthy the price. Buy all the wi”

The room was luxurious and clean, but that was essentially all there was.

The room details, especially the shower and bathroom, were spot on, and the view of the vineyard was very relaxing.

“Good wine, Gianfranco is a douche”

The wine, the room, the staff, and Anthony were all good, but an event during our stay made me suggest checking for scheduled events ahead of time. The overall vibe felt like they were trying, yet something was missing in the hospitality. Because of the event, the beautiful terrace was occupied and we were the only table inside, feeling a bit forgotten, though it gave us a front‑row view of behind‑the‑scenes action. Dinner was decent and somewhat special, but at four courses for the price you could easily find a better, more authentic local dinner nearby for half the cost. The owner eventually appeared, a little belly leading the way, reached out his hand, and simply announced his name, as if expecting us to be thrilled to meet the legend. Watching him run the place like an unsuccessful dictator, mostly shouting at his staff, left us not exactly starstruck. If you’re into Primitivo, definitely come for the tour and tasting, even stay the night, but skip dinner and eat somewhere local instead.

“Overall, the hardware of the hotel is good, but software in terms of services need further improvement.”

Very nice and modern decoration, peaceful environment where you can really relax and enjoy. Wine especially red wine is very nice! Dinner was held at the balcony with good view and vibe. Antony is very helpful and nice person. He took us to visit the winery production area before we left!. The dinner at the restaurant is of low value of money. The 4 courses charged you for €75 per person is too much in my opinion. The food was ok but it doesn’t feel the value for €75. The lady serving us was the only person serving for 3 tables. You don’t feel the warm and real hospitality of a fine dining restaurant. It was my birthday and although I have requested for a candle at my dessert, but nothing was offered and they apparently had forgotten
