Relais La Masseriola

The owner was waiting to check us in when we arrived late in the evening, and during our stay she suggested things to see and places to eat. Breakfast was generous and full of delicious homemade products. Those stars are well deserved, thank you.

This is a lovely renovated farmhouse in the middle of nature, and the rooms have everything you need, though the bathroom light needs fixing. Breakfast uses local products, but might feel a little expensive considering the nightly rate. The odd thing was that nobody even asked us to pay before we went in, even though we’d already paid a deposit. Maybe a bit more attention to that would be appreciated. 😊

The quiet setting among olive groves and stone walls made this a wonderful place to stay. It’s a farm more than 700 years old, now renovated and run by delightful hosts. The calm and hospitality were lovely.

Breakfast is served in a beautifully preserved white stone barn with a vaulted ceiling, and it’s rich and delicious. The lady prepares things in the kitchen herself, including spectacular ricotta and cream cakes, jam tarts, fioroni with prosciutto, and fresh primo sale made with milk from cows still kept in the farmhouse’s new barn. The Masseriola is reached by a picturesque lane lined with ancient dry stone walls. It’s a small, beautiful, welcoming family farmhouse, with extremely kind and friendly owners. The rooms open directly to the outside, so you have full independence. They’re well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and everything was spotless. There’s also a furnished courtyard in front of the rooms where you can relax in the sun, read, or sit in the cool evening. Peace and quiet really reign in this corner of paradise. Highly recommended!
