Villa de Donatis Charming Guest House

We were absolutely disappointed with our stay. This a small villa with just a few rooms ( 3-4 maybe?), possibly a former family house reconditioned. The welcome was OK, however we asked about dinner options and they said there should be many options in the area. However they nver said they were an option ( and this place is also famous as restaurant). That was OK, we assumed due to the local holiday and being a sunday they will not offer the service) However , after returning from dinner in another town, we were surprised to see that there was a wedding celebration (possibly at least 50 people) all over the house (so there was dinner service, just NOT for us). Not only that but the celebration lasted well over midnight, which made sleeping impossible for us. That they celebrate a wedding in a big hotel is OK, facilities are huge. But here , the wedding is next to you. And hey I understand that the venue gains more business from the wedding than from my stay, but they should definitely have told us that this wedding was happening and we would have booked somewhere else. The last straw was not being open and honest when we asked about dinner, and saying “ the restaurant is fully booked, there is a wedding celebration here tonight” Finally, on the breakfast part, you will see on the pictures of this hotel a nice buffet with a lot of really good looking options. What we got was OK, but nothing close to what you see in the pics. So , i do not recommended it at all

Fabulous 3-night stay with excellent food and service.

We spent just few days in this place but it was like being at home. A big suite well furnished digger into the stone, clean and comfy for a family of four. The wonderful touch is not on the room but in the hosts: Agnese and her mother, together with their staff, will cuddle you along all the vacation. Breakfast is excellent, with a selection of fresh home-made dishes made upon request. At dinner, a wonderful terrace with an incredible view will be the perfect companion to great dishes prepared with local raw materials. Highly recommend as point to visit Salento in every season.

Cordialità professionalità gentilezza sono i camei di questa residenza. Camera suite gradevolissima

“Sentirsi a casa” è un concetto a volte un po’ inflazionato, ma in quest caso, ho ritrovato tutte quelle sensazioni che ti fanno sentire davvero “a casa” Dolcezza, cortesia, cura per il dettaglio, è quello che ritroverete qui, a Villa De Donatis oltre ad una splendida vista sulla campagna salentina, delle ottime colazioni con torte fresche ogni giorno e un personale sempre molto attento alle vostre esigenze. Per gli amanti della piscina, ne trovate una di dimensioni generose e una deliziosa zona relax

Per una salentina come me che x lavoro si trova tutto l'anno al nord tornare a casa x le ferie e trovarsi a cena con gli amici a villa De Dodatis è il più bello e suggestivo regalo che potevo farmi. I sapori veri i profumi l'accoglienza l'ospitalità che trovi in questo luogo non si possono spiegare con le parole. Una nota di merito anche a Martina che con orgoglio illustra le proposte culinarie di Agnese e lo fa con una passione che ti invoglia a scoprire tutti i misteri che i piatti raccontano. Complimenti a tutti.
