Masseria Oreglia

We loved how peaceful the property was, with its Mediterranean feel, comfortable furniture, and gorgeous infinity pool. The apartments are charmingly decorated and spotlessly clean. Roberta and Davide were so friendly and helpful, sharing great tips and even offering extras for free, like a ride to a wine tasting. It worked just as well as a relaxing place to stay in as it did as a base for visiting the towns and beaches around Ceglie Messapica. We’d happily return.

We ended up giving up some of our plans just to spend more time reading beside the infinity pool and enjoying the olive grove setting. The rooms have lovely regional vintage touches and everything you need, whether you're staying a few days or longer. Roberta, Davide, and their son Ben were always available with area information or help arranging dinners and wine tours. They also offer taxi rides in one of Davide's vintage cars. Driving through the groves and vineyards after an outdoor dinner felt wonderfully romantic. A little piece of heaven.

The people here were the best part of our holiday. Roberta, Davide, Ben, and the rest of the team were so thoughtful and made sure we had what we needed. Roberta even picked up fresh bread from the bakery for us in the morning. We’ll be back for the calm, friendly atmosphere. Our room, The Mangiatoia, had everything we needed, including pots, pans, a microwave, and a coffee machine. The bed was very comfortable, and the linen sheets helped us stay cool. The air conditioning and TV looked modern. WiFi was weak inside the room, though it worked fine by the pool, probably because the walls are about a meter thick. After exploring local towns, we often came back to the clean pool. It looks out across farms and hills, with a shady spot for when the sun gets too strong. The bean bags around it were much nicer than sun loungers. Torre Pozzelle was our favorite beach, about a 30 minute drive away, and there may be closer ones. The grounds are beautiful and feel carefully planned, from the paths connecting different parts of the farm to the plants and room decor. It’s a lovely place to unwind.

Roberta was so warm and friendly, and the Masseria itself is superb. We explored the area during our stay, but also enjoyed the option of relaxing by the beautiful pool. Ceglie is nearby and has all the services you might need. The Masseria serves local products for breakfast and other meals, and it was very convenient to order breakfast the night before and have it ready in the morning. I’d gladly recommend staying here.
