Masseria Gorgognolo

We stayed at Masseria Gorgognolo for two nights, booking two rooms, and absolutely loved our stay. With only five rooms, the whole place feels incredibly intimate and peaceful. It is family-run, and you can really feel it in the hospitality — the welcome was exceptionally warm and genuine, and we immediately felt at home. The rooms were comfortable, the beds were great, and everything was cleaned and refreshed between our two nights. The food was another big part of what made our stay so enjoyable. Breakfast was very good, with a lovely buffet including homemade cake and granola, and we also really enjoyed having lunch at the Masseria. But dinner was the real highlight. The food was absolutely excellent. If you're staying here, we would definitely recommend having dinner at the property rather than automatically heading elsewhere in the evening. Another detail we really appreciated was having electric bikes available to explore the area and cycle along the coast. Such a nice way to enjoy the surroundings without having to take the car. A special mention has to go to Lucia, who was wonderful throughout our stay — and incredibly helpful even before we arrived. We had mentioned that we wanted to celebrate a birthday at a nice restaurant and spend a day at a private beach with sunbeds, and she took the time to recommend several places that matched exactly what we were looking for. Once we had chosen the restaurant, she even made the reservation for us. Her recommendations were spot on, and we really appreciated how helpful, accommodating and attentive she was. If you're looking for a small, peaceful and genuinely welcoming place to stay in Puglia, this is a wonderful choice. The combination of the intimate setting, fantastic hospitality and excellent food made our two nights here a lovely part of our trip. We would happily come back!

“A perfect retreat for some much needed R&R. We will return!”

We have just returned from four nights at Masseria Gorgonola, and what a little gem it is. It is quite remote, so I would recommend hiring a car, but Ostuni, Locorotondo and Alberobello are all within a reasonable drive and we managed to visit each of them. That said, I was happiest at the Masseria itself. It has been beautifully restored and is rustic, simple and full of charm. Breakfast offered a good mix of continental and cooked options. Lunch featured three set dishes each day, alongside a small menu from which you could put together your own salad or lighter meal. Dinner was a set three-course menu, shared each morning so that guests could decide whether to dine in that evening. We ate there on three nights and loved it. With only a handful of rooms, the restaurant felt wonderfully peaceful and intimate - the most we saw dining at once was six people (including us). The food was beautiful, and it was a pleasure to enjoy the Puglian wine without having to think about driving anywhere afterwards. This is not a full-scale restaurant, so if you are looking for lots of choice and a lively atmosphere, you may prefer to head into town. For us, however, the small and intimate setting was perfect. We also loved the soft background music (and the style of it), which suited the surroundings beautifully. The outdoor space and pool were lovely, and the family who run the Masseria were incredible. Lucia was so helpful, offering recommendations on places to visit and restaurants to try. Nothing was too much trouble, and everyone was warm and welcoming. Their passion for the property really shines through. We started each day with a walk along the coast. It is largely rocky, although there are some small sandy coves which were lovely on calm days. We would then have breakfast before spending the morning by the pool. I would absolutely recommend Masseria Gorgonola to anyone looking for genuine rest and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of a busy hotel - we will return. Our experience was genuinely wonderful. The only small improvement I would suggest would be a request for guests not to make phone or video calls in the restaurant or around the pool. It only happened a couple of times and was not a major issue, but in such a peaceful setting, loud calls can be quite intrusive. This is, of course, more about guest consideration than any fault of the Masseria, although a gentle policy or reminder might help preserve the wonderfully relaxing atmosphere

“Beste masseria in Italië”

Lucia is really great. She's the best host ever. From arriving until leaving everything was perfectly cared for. The location, the masseria, the room and all it's decorations and accessories. Nothing left to ask for, everything was taken care of. Breakfast was great and lunch and dinner even better. All prepared with love. Nothing except booking only 11 nights
