Masseria Donna Nina is absolutely beautiful and Angelo was a wonderful host! He was very communicative and beyond sweet and attentive to our needs. He kept telling us that the Masseria was ours and we could pick whatever fruits we wanted throughout the property to eat. He served a delicious breakfast and each morning he provided a tour of the different selections of homemade cakes and fresh yogurt produced from a neighboring Masseria (the most delicious!) and fruits picked from his grounds. The day before we arrived, I had requested a massage—while the usual therapist wasn’t free, he arranged for a massage set up in my room with an alternative therapist which was wonderful. Our room was beautiful, the bed comfortable, and the pool was refreshing! I feel sad to give the masseria 4 stars but am doing so because while it was beautiful and we had a wonderful stay, we didn’t think the quality was up to the level of the price per night, even at peak season compared to the other stays we had in the area during our 10 day trip in Puglia. For instance, they charge 5 euros for pool towels, which is fine but it just seems odd to charge extra at that price point. Also the bathrooms were small with few amenities and the wifi was poor in the rooms (albeit probably due to the historic stone buildings!). I think if some of these things could be upgraded to meet the price then it would be 5 stars in my opinion! FYI, there is no restaurant on the property so you have to drive into Ostuni for dinner which is only a 10 minute drive but can get really crowded in August. Overall, we really appreciated Angelo and had a wonderful stay but think it was just slightly overpriced at this time.
