Masseria Le Lamie

Lovely place in the beautiful Puglia. Landscaped gardens with a large pool surrounded by olive trees where you are sure to find a spot in the shade at any time of day. The rooms are big and spotless with a rustic feel yet with modern amenities. We even had dinner at their restaurant on one of the nights and it was top notch both for service and quality of food. Giuseppe, our head waiter was fantastic. So were the other staff at breakfast and at reception.

Lovely stay. Warm welcome and excellent room. We had a tasting Menu dinner, representing the food of Puglia which proved a great choice! The grounds are beautifully kept, very well planted and the best swimming pool I've seen in a long time. Highly recommended. Hope to stay again!

This was the second visit to this wonderful accommodation. Located on the southern edge of the murge in Puglia, it's convenient to visiting all the interesting and beautiful cities of this area i.e. Locorotondo, Ostuni, Grottaglie, and even out to the Adriatic coast. Lecce and the Salento is about an hour's drive to the south and Altamura and Matera about an hour and a half to the north. After a day of sightseeing, this is the perfect place to come home to for a relaxing afternoon or evening. There have been many improvements since our Stptember, 2021 visit including turning the old fratoria into more guest rooms. The owner is an architect and artist and most of the features have been hand crafted. This time we were in one of the new rooms in the old fratoria which were modern but still maintained the character of it's surroundings. A beautiful meld of tradition and modern. The pool was sparkling and clean even in off season and the grounds are meticulously landscaped. I loved the limestone tables and benches in the garden where in warmer weather in 2021 we had breakfast and this time played cards with our friends. I can't write this review without mentioning the staff. Every single staff member we came in contact with were extremely courteous and professional from the restaurant wait staff to reception, to housekeepers. It is run like a 5 star hotel and you are treated likewise. A special shout out to Simona who was the first person we encountered at this wonderful retreat. Also Simona number 2. Their professionalism is impeccable. The owner of the establishment is very lucky to have such a wonderful staff.

We had a fabulous stay at Masseria Le Lamie. We stayed for 2 nights and found the accommodation to be charming, spotlessly clean and managed by amazing staff. We had dinner in the restaurant both evenings which was delicious and also loved the morning breakfast (selection of freshly baked pastries, coffee, eggs, cold meats). The rooms were spotless and the beds extremely comfortable. Perfect for our short trip and we would definitely recommend as a base to explore the local area best known for ceramics! Note: We would recommend a car as the closest town is 10 minutes drive (very easily accessed).

La masseria è stata restaurata con grande attenzione: si respira un'aria di altri tempi, a cui però si affiancano le comodità moderne che la rendono il posto perfetto per rilassarsi in mezzo agli alberi di ulivo. Stanza e piscina molto belle. Ottima anche la possibilità di pranzare e cenare direttamente in struttura sotto il pergolato tipico. Tra l'altro, i prodotti che usano sono locali e alcuni provengono direttamente dalla fattoria della proprietà: ad esempio le uova, l'olio, le verdure dell'orto... Da provare la frisa con la stracciatella (disponibile nella formula "light lunch") e la cena alla carta. Lo staff (tutti, e in particolare Valerio) non è solo estremamente professionale, ma ci ha riservato tante gentili attenzioni - cosa non comune e non scontata.

Un luogo accogliente, immerso nel verde, piscina stupenda, camera super-confortevole, gentilezza del personale. Un grazie particolare a Valerio. Abbiamo ripetuto l'esperienza quest'anno, torneremo anche il prossimo! Angelo e Irene
