Masseria Grieco

We had the most beautiful stay at Masseria Greico and chose this hotel as a destination to explore Puglia. The room was lovely and the staff exceptionally attentive and informative re towns we planned to visit. Very helpful and booked restaurants close by. However, we felt the hotel struggles to identify if they are a hotel or wedding venue. There were no coffee/tea making facilities in our room which was very disappointing. We had to order any hot drinks via room service at €10 and was time limited. There was no bar/lounge to relax in after a day out, so you have to go straight back to your room. Nevertheless, these are small but important things to consider during out of season bookings. The venue and surrounding area is absolutely stunning, and drive to the property amazing!! Pool area wonderful and staff fantastic!! Hotel food was just ok but not exceptional! Think more traditional cuisine preferable, but that’s just our point of view. Moving forwards, please invest in coffee/tea making facilities in all bedrooms. Also, please adjust evening meal menu and make available a lounge area where customers can relax and have a drink after a long day before heading to bed.

Absolutely beautiful masseria, amazing food, super comfortable rooms and just idyllic. This was the second time we stayed here, and it was as lovely as we remember. Really relaxing, staff are really helpful and friendly. Loved the breakfasts! And we also stayed for the Puglian Buffet - delicious! I really hope we can visit again soon. Thank you everyone at Masseria Grieco x

We had our wedding here in May for 3 nights and would definitely recommend! The venue is absolutely stunning, there is so much thought and attention to detail in every corner. The breakfast was amazing with so much choice. On the wedding day, there is lots of different spaces you can have the events of the day so there is a good flow. The staff are very helpful and keen to make your stay special. The pool bar is also great and very reasonably priced.

We had exclusive use of the Masseria Grieco for three days for a wedding . The Masseria grounds are beautifully kept and with very pretty planting . The welcome dinner on the first night was held near the pool area but under the trees and we were all seated on lovely white stone table and chairs ,with lovely lighting it made for a very magical evening - the buffet food was absolutely delicious ! The wedding ceremony was in the very pretty grounds and the wedding dinner was in the beautiful courtyard .We spent the night dancing in the lovely stone circle dance floor in the grassed area near the courtyard . The bride had organised lovely white sofas and stunning chandelier lights so it all looked stunning . During the pool party the next day we had delicious pizzas for lunch and danced the afternoon away . Breakfast each morning was delicious !!!! The rooms were fabulous ,with everything we needed and all the staff were very friendly ,helpful and hard working .All the food prepared by the Masseria was excellent and plentiful . A very magical three days ,so a huge thank you to all the Masseria staff and also out lovely new daughter in law who organised all the event ! We were however very lucky to have had good weather - as all wedding celebrations were outside .

I came with high expectations but this masseria exceeded them and blew me away! Everything is even more gorgeous than the photos. The masseria is immaculately restored from the 15th century structure. The rooms are spotless, elegant and comfortable (slept so well!). The food is incredible. 80% of what they serve (fruits, veg, wine, herbs, olive oil, flour for pasta/bread) is organically grown on site, and everything else (dairy, fish and meat) is sourced from surrounding masserias. Restaurant is excellent for all meals! Don’t miss the handmade Italian croissants and house Nutella at breakfast! Health: very accommodating for dietary restrictions, healthy options at all meals, 2km woodland for exercise, professional personal training/massage services available. Staff are super!! Always friendly, proactive and helpful in recommendations. Everyone goes above and beyond. Had a magical time here. Highly recommend.

Food and service was amazing. The masseria is immaculate and incredibly well presented. From the welcome at reception, to the service by the pool and in the restaurant - staff are all very friendly, speak very clear English and very knowledgeable about the masseria and the local area. The rooms are spotless, as are all the communal areas. There are donkeys and goats nearby as well as a short walk behind the masseria. The long gated driveway up to the main entrance is a real showstopper. Food in the restaurant is a real treat - the dinners, although a small menu with meals we would not usually choose, were perfection, we do not have a single complaint. The breakfast is a dream, fresh, plenty of choice and very generous for a bed and breakfast rate. The pool bar also serves amazing lunch. I would go back here just for the cheeses! You can tell that the food is fresh, local, and made with real care. I think most importantly, the service is brilliant. The peacock is a little loud through the night and the pool is a little chilly but all is forgiven considering how beautiful the location is and the other positives the masseria offers. Ideally located for a trip into Alberobello - we had a lovely day out and can't wait to visit again.

I can not recommend Masseria Grieco more! Clean, organized, excellent customer service, and friendly/helpful staff. Breakfast was amazing and very tasty. We enjoyed our stay, and we'll go back! Close to Ostuni centro and Cisternino.

Beautiful property, lovely stuff and amazing service

I have a heavy heart writing this review and was very much on the fence whether or not to leave a review as I didn’t want to dampen my memory of our amazing wedding , but the more I have reflected and spoke with guests from our wedding the more I feel I need to share our experience. Let’s start with the good part - we got married in early June at this beautiful masseria. The venue itself is amazing, the grounds are well kept and all in all I wouldn’t have changed the location if we were somehow able to go back. The staff at the bar were LOVELY, so helpful,friendly and well received by our guests. The quality of the food/breakfast was great, we enjoyed it and have no complaints about the standard. The thing that MAJORLY lets this venue down is the customer service and the missed “going the extra mile” for their guests. For background we booked out the masseria “exclusively” for 3 days for our wedding guests - the deal being it would be exclusive and all rooms would be used and even if all rooms were not used we committed to payment to fill the rooms. Which was fine and we were happy to do as we knew most of our guests very much wanted to stay at the venue with us. Only thing was , it wasn’t really exclusive to us. The day prior to the wedding we had a random woman and her child in the pool, from other reviews and word of mouth I believe this perhaps could have been a staff member (although I am not entirely sure this was correct). My question was how was it possible to grant us “full access exclusively to the venue” to then have a random woman and her child be in the pool on more than one occasion during our stay: this to me doesn’t sound exclusive to only us? We had no children coming to our wedding, but yet we had a child allowed access to the pool and running about the grounds when we were staying and during the day when our guests had checked in and we were looking forward to some adult only time with our guests around the pool. One guest has also shared the day of our wedding when she was fully dressed for the wedding, the child ran by her soaking wet in his swimming shorts - this is not exclusive use of the venue. very very unhappy with this. 2. we were given a menu for our guests to choose meal options prior to arrival for the pre and post wedding meals. We were asked to give choices for the meals in advance (i gathered two choices per guest for 50 guests) this was of course an additional headache on the lead up to our wedding. As the masseria is located in a rather remote location, we considered arranging a transfer for all guests to head out to Ostuni and have our meals out but after receiving the menu options from the masseria (the menu choices sounded great and we were very pleased we could offer our guests such variety). I sent the choices at least a month before the wedding, but yet when we arrived at the masseria for the pre wedding meeting 4 days before the wedding we were told the chef couldn’t possibly cook for so man
