Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel

Having done the rounds of luxury and boutique hotels, I can safely say that true luxury is more about what cannot be bought. The beautiful hotel, decor, and surroundings are a given and Canne Bianche delivers in spades. Excellent food, drinks and ambience, all big ticks. However, this is not sufficient to create lasting memories. What creates lasting memories, is the commi**ent, passion, care and genuine welcome the staff extend. This can be trained into people and acted out, but it is only where people actually care, because they are invested, does it feel real. Canne Bianche staff deliver this in spade. Their smiles and genuine care shine through. Any glitch is swiftly dealt with, with transparent efficiency. They prompt all your needs and do so with true care. The little touches also make this place special, to name a few: the home made cookies at turndown, and the goodie bag at departure. These mark the place out beyond the five star competitors in my view. I cannot recommend it sufficiently. Well down.

Incredible. This hotel is unbelievable. The staff were so friendly welcoming you back every evening and every morning with a smile. The breakfast was superb with local ingredients and eggs made to order. The rooms were spotless and cleaned twice a day and the little touch of leaving out your slippers at turndown to the little treats left in your room in the evening. We ate in the restaurant 2 evenings and it was delicious. The pool area is beautiful and the staff there were also amazing. We stayed a week and will defonitley go back again next year. puro lusso

Probably the nicest experience we have ever had at a hotel. The building and rooms are first class, and our view of the Adriatic was incredible. However, what made the stay so special was the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. They were absolutely A+. Breakfasts and dinners in the hotel were outstanding. When we come back to the east coast of Italy, this is the only place we will stay. Bravo Canne Bianche!

We stayed in this hotel for a long weekend to explore Puglia and had an amazing experience. The hotel is perfectly located geographically in the centre of the region with all of the places to visit being a convenient drive. Also, the hotel opens out on to a very clean and beautiful beach. A real plus compared to the other five star hotels in the region. Facilities are excellent, food is delicious and the rooms have a relaxed luxury vibe. The boutique selling lovely linen clothes and other well-curated items is a plus. But the real star at this property is the staff. We stay at many hotels and I think here they strike the perfect balance of care, attention, friendliness and helpfulness. Their local knowledge is exceptional. Don’t plan your trip beforehand, just ask the staff once you arrive and they will help with every detail! I couldn’t recommend this property more highly. One of the nicest hotels I have had the pleasure to stay at!

Loved this place from the moment the electric gates opened on our 1st day. The welcome was heartfelt and genuine. The room is great, the staff are lovely and the food is fabulous. The pool area is great,shame the water wasn't a little warmer. We found a secret gate at the bottom of the garden that led to the beach and a lovely walk to town. We can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

We stayed for a week in July. The staff are welcoming, speak English & always say good morning when they pass. What we loved: The pool area is excellent. Cabanas, lounge chairs and umbrellas spread out, so you have space from the other guests. We stayed in July for a week and never had an issue getting a spot. Love that there is grass as well as a paved area. The hotel can arrange a hire car. You must do this, it is a necessity to visit Bari, Lecce, Alberobello etc. The ricotta tart / ricotta cheesecake on the breakfast buffet is lovely. The festa that the hotel had on Sunday night for 70 euro a person was nice. You sit at a communal table and the food is served buffet style. The panzerotti and orecchiette were great. They had live music and a man making burrata. Small things that could be improved: At other five star hotels, the gym is open 24/7. We were jet lagged and woke up at 5am. We couldn’t use the gym as it was locked. Two small bottles of water are provided per day. In other hotels we have been given multiple bottles, which meant at Canne Bianche we had to pay for water at the hotel or buy it outside. Two bottles a day aren’t enough. In good news, there is a small shop directly opposite the hotel that opens at 9am, a whole 6 pack of large bottles of water was around 3 euro, which was the cost of one small bottle from the hotel. Other suggestions: Book dinner at Dubonnet, it is an easy walk from the hotel and the food, especially the seafood, is great. There’s not much else around the hotel, so you need to hire a car if you want to get away. Gallipoli (crystal beach) is better than Monopoli and polignano mare. You can hire lounges and umbrellas from the beach club and the beach has sand and beautiful clear water. It had a natural sandbank which meant a great shallow spot of water on the sand, and the other side of the sandbar depose water. We have completed reviews of some of the food in the region, you can take a look on trip advisor. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.

Highly recommend this small boutique style hotel. We had four nights and felt thoroughly relaxed at the end. Staff were so friendly and could not do enough for us. We ate in the restaurant every evening and all staff were really friendly. We particularly would like to praise one waiter (more mature waiter but sadly cannot remember his name) for his excellent service. We are foodies and found all meals were great. Bedroom was clean and spacious. Comfortable beds. We could sit in our outside terrace, which was private, if preferred. Pool very clean and gardens well kept. We had no problem finding a sunbed and there was plenty of space between them.

We stayed at Canne Bianche for just over a week at the end of June . We absolutely loved out stay in Puglia - the hotel was amazing, particularly the staff who were all so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was incredible with a huge selection to choose from - fresh focaccia and burrata to start the day - well it just doesn’t get any better. The hotel itself has a very calming feel and the pool area and grounds beautiful . Even though the hotel appeared to be full, we could always get a sunbed . We had dinner in the hotel twice and lunch at the beautiful pool restaurant and the food was superb. We hired a car and spent a lot of time visiting other towns and villages in Puglia so probably didn’t spend as much time as we would have liked to enjoying the hotel facilities and grounds. All the staff were so lovely , from the reception, restaurant, bar, pool staff to our lovely housekeeping lady . All in all a fabulous holiday in a fabulous hotel - we can’t wait to return!

Well what can I say? Is this one of the best ever experiences we have had at a hotel or resort? Yes it is! Canne Bianche is one of those special places that when you leave you feel sad because you don’t want to go. That a sign it is something really wonderful. Where do I start? The fabulous rooms? The incredible pool? The incredible warm Puglian service? The mind blowing food made from scratch? (And often on display to revel in) The traditional food and dancing events hosted? The tide daily room service? The spa? The relaxed luxury feel? The personalised CB touches? The location in Torre Canne which is a hidden gem? Every detail is considered and delivered to perfection. It is seamless. We only stayed four nights but we should have stayed 7-10. We can’t wait to visit again! Grazie!
