Country Houses in Marina di Pescoluse

Very cool old Masseria. Well styled and rustic.

The property is amazing. Quiet, scenographic, romantic. Location is perfect, 30-40 minutes by car to all must-go destinations and seasides The food was delicious. The breakfast buffet was very good and there were plenty of different options. Very much appreciated the fact that despite being off season with a smaller amount of guests the care (customer service, cleaning of the room, breakfast, even prompt cleaning of the pool) was always top notch. Highly suggested also for events because the location is just breathtaking

My wife and I experienced two days at Relais Masseria Sant’ Antonio, Puglia in late September 2022. We are a well-traveled couple having spent more than our fair share of time in a variety of hotels, guest houses, villas, and AirBnB around the world. So I’d like to think that we have a benchmark to qualify the review that I’m about to present. Any establishment is only as good as its people and that leads us first to those individuals that make this villa ’sing’. Meet Patrizia and Antonio, your hosts. And hosts they are. It was made very clear on our arrival that their sole mission was to exceed our expectations in every way possible. Patrizia and Tony simply excel at providing everything that you need (or don’t know you need) to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I want to address what we believe is the singular thing that this couple excels at and that must be highlighted in this review. The food! Tony and Patrizia are fine cooks. However, to say that they are cooks is simply an understatement. They are chefs and from our experience, very fine chefs. We were arriving in the late afternoon and had asked if we could have dinner at the villa that evening and Patrizia was delighted to accommodate. We were not prepared for what we were about to enjoy. This was Michelin Star, southern Italy cuisine at its finest. Aperitif, extraordinary local wine, accompanied with multiple courses, plated and presented with care and attention to detail that is only equaled to the love and attention that came through as they presented each dish to us. Dinner was trumped the next morning with a breakfast that was unlike no other. Patrizia and Tony's attention to using the finest and the freshest organic ingredients come through with everything that they prepare. I can’t remember the name of the cake that Patrizia so lovingly prepared (yes, Italians love their pastries in the morning) but I know that she spent hours creating this wonderful pastry specifically for us.
