"The masseria was a sanctuary for our family during the hot Puglian summer. The family and staff were fantastic and the property itself is beautiful and has modern appointments. Our breakfasts were delicious and the dinner we ate at the property was also great.
The location is very convenient, being a short drive from Otranto town but not in the busy centre. It is also located a relatively short drive from a number of beaches and other places of interest. "
"The property was pretty and the rooms were modern and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly. We told them we had to leave earlier than the breakfast time on the last day, and they brought a selection of food to us the evening before without us even asking. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting the area."
"Beautiful Masseria
Incredible experience with the animals roaming around
Could do a bit more to be considered luxury, however, it was a really amazing experience
Our young children LOVED it"
"Francisco, Nadia and their daughter Marcella looked after us so well. They were the perfect hosts and could not have made our stay any better. The breakfast was delicious and served with a smile every morning. We truly felt comfortable at this property. "

"Our stay at Masseria Bandino & Spa was wonderful! The check-in process was quick and the woman checking us in was very helpful. The room was nice and spacious with a great air conditioning. Just outside our room was a little sitting area which was a great place to have our morning coffee. The pool area is beautiful and open to guests 24 hours a day! It was the perfect place to relax after a busy day. We greatly enjoyed our stay!"
"My first impressions were that this is a well- appointed and sophisticated resort. The design is beautiful, but be aware that the entire resort is terraced off into multiple levels, so there is lots of stairs. However, there are some strategically located elevators for those that have trouble navigating flights of stairs.
My stay was during the first weekend of October 2024 and little did I know, that this is already considered the “off-season“. While that means more affordable lodging rates, it also means a muted vibe and a reduced level of services I’d expect in a 4-star resort.
Moreover, the resort is situated outside of town and a visit to the seafront, restaurants , and shops meant a 15 to 20 minute walk. While the resort does have a shuttle van, it was not in operation to transport guests to/from the seafront or the train station (I walked a mile/1.6 km with luggage from the station on check-in day). Uber was not available and no local buses were running in October.
The on-site restaurant was mediocre, with the exception of the breakfast which was great! There are 2 tiny bars, but a full-service lounge is needed.
But despite these criticisms for the resort as a whole, I must say that ALL of the staff I interacted with during my stay was friendly, professional and accommodating. They exhibited pride in what they did for guests.
Overall, I would still recommend a stay here. But be sure to ask a lot of questions about seasonal services before you book or visit. "
