Masseria Capece was an absolute highlight of our authentic Puglia experience. From check-in to check-out Fulvia (the Masseria Manager) made us feel like family. We stayed in the 3 bedroom unit on the second floor, which was absolutely fabulous. The unit was exceptionally clean and comfortable. All staff at the Masseria went above and beyond their duties helping us craft our holiday into unforgettable memories. There is a grandmother that lives on property that heard we wanted to learn how to make orecchiette pasta and without hesitation she invited us into her unit for a quick lesson. If you are looking for the authentic Italian family feel this is the Masseria for you.
We stayed here recently for a wedding nearby and it was the perfect lodging to end our busy, frenetic trip. This masseria, surrounded by 2000 year old olive trees, has been lovingly restored by the owners, who make you feel more like a guest than a customer. I must stress that it is very small, very quiet, and not near much. If you are wanting to go to town, you will need a car or set up a driver. This is a low-tech experience, and would be perfect for family groups. I got up early every morning just to experience the solitude in the courtyard, although almost any time of day I could look around and not see anyone. The suite that we stayed in was nice and clean. Nothing fancy (and not quite as attractive as the photos) but we were pleased none-the-less. The hot water tank was TINY and our shower routine had to be adjusted, but it was doable. The breakfast, although not served until 8:30, was really good and we enjoyed talking to the fellow guests there. As long as you are not looking for many ammeneties, and you are wanting to stay in a rural area, then I think you have found your spot! Do bring bug spray--there are evening mosquitoes (throughout the whole region) but you won't want them to keep you inside! The family would happily tell you about the history of the place or even help you book a driver or buy something that you need! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, with these nice people and I would definitely give it a thumbs up!…
