Having Dinner at Fabios Agriturismo was a wonderful experience and the food was very good. He also serves vegetarian courses. Fabio showed us his farm and how he grows the ingredients himself. That was one of our holiday highlights, thank you!

An amazing place to stay if you are looking for a family friendly, authentic Italian hotel with great food, pool and surrounding areas. We stayed for 5 nights with 2 kids and loved it! We opted for breakfast and dinner package and it was great, easy and very relaxing with an excellent service. We felt truly welcome here, nothing was a problem for Fabio and his sister( the owners). It certainly feels like more than a family business, the owners are very attentive to their guests’ needs. The place is very clean, our room was spacious with a small living room and kitchenette and bathroom and spacious outdoor area, cleaned daily, and spotless. Kids loved playing free table football, in the playground and in the pools. They certainly felt very welcome too and quickly made friends with other kids staying there. Highly recommend and we will be back!

This is a wonderful place to stay, the rooms are large with air conditioning. Spotlessly clean with towels changed every day, beds made and apartment tidied. The staff are so friendly and have fabulous personalities. Nothing is too much trouble. Bikes can be hired to cycle into Ostuni. There are plenty of poolside sun loungers and beds, a pool bar, table football and table tennis. It’s ideal for families with paddling pool and play park in the shade of trees. The food is very good too, nice breakfast and even better evening meal. We rate this accommodation 10 out of 10 and if we’re ever in this area again we would stay here.

We went here for dinner expecting the experience to be great based on the trip advisor reviews. Everybody must have had a different experience to us, or their reviews are fabricated. To begin with, their so called “frivolecy of the home” was as described - frivolous. The owner Fabio described it as antipasti. I’m not sure what his definition of antipasti is, but it’s not what the rest of Italy describe it as. It was just a bland zucchini fritter with the consistency of day old bread. The fritter was on a plate of wilted spinach and about the size of a cup cake. The pasta was orecchiette with some dried bread crumbs and some tasteless green sauce of unknown origin. 2nd course was barely edible. Was a tiny stuffed roasted eggplant which was about the only thing that tasted OK, but only about half was edible as the skin was so tough that you couldn’t cut through it with a knife. It was served with a tomato salad (literally 2 semi green tomatoes chopped into 8 - no olive oil). However the crowing jewel in this culinary disaster was the “dessert” - a bowl of uncut and unripe fruit. All of this was provided without a knife sharp enough to cut the fruit. The waiter didn’t crack a smile, say hi, offer olive oil, salt or pepper. We mentioned this to Fabio when we left and said it was our fault for not asking. Add to this the cost. For 4 adults and 2 kids with 2 beers and a carafe of €5 red wine and 2 bottles of water we were charged €278. (They had the audacity to charge €30 for each child for a bowl of orecchiette with tomato sauce, some microwave meat balls, 1 potato and the worlds thinnest and driest chicken schnitzel that was 2/3 bread crumbs). Compare this to the most wonderful agriturismo experience we had at Lu Stazzu in Sardinia which was 1000x better, with incredible service, and amazing food, which cost €60 per adult, kids free, and drinks included. The gelato on the way home was the highlight of the evening. !!

We had a fabulous holiday thanks to the caring, super-hospitable owners and staff at Agritourismo Salinola. The hotel/venue was a sanctuary; our two toddlers absolutely loved it especially the pools, the playground and the charming family of the owners. All in a delightful setting of beautiful buildings and trees. Tasty home-style Italian cooking every evening and good breakfasts. Our room was a good size for the 4 of us and air conditioned and perfectly cleaned every day. The staff truly understand hospitality, nothing was too much trouble and it felt like they really wanted us to have a great holiday. We'd go back.
