Masseria Mattiani siebzehnten Jahrhundert in Salento (Apulien - Italien)

A rural property for peace and quiet. Relaxing. The local town is very convenient and has many good places to eat.

House was beautiful, terrific surroundings , 1/2 drive to Lecce. Fully equipped ( no condiments ) outside kitchen would handle a dozen people , huge pool.A special affectionate little kitten kept visiting .We would stay there agsin in a heartbeat . It would be super for a family as gardens are enormous .

Amazing villa with a great host, Oronzino was extremely helpful throughout our stay.

Plus points, good directions, great owner comms, good outdoor kitchen and comfortable beds. Other points, need shade around the pool, loads of mosquitoes, more comfy chairs outside, dishwasher needs attention

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!
