Masseria Faraone

Every morning, lady Maria made us a delicious homemade breakfast, sometimes cake and sometimes pancakes. We stayed in a lovely trulli room, and the pool area was clean and beautiful. The dogs, cats, and everyone at this beautiful maseria made us feel welcome. Just fabulous.

The breakfasts lived up to the earlier reviews, with homemade treats laid out on Maria's generous table. Her cakes filled the dining room with a lovely scent each morning. Congratulations to Maria and her daughter, Francesca, for bringing their project to life so beautifully. Dominique and I, Christian, came from Belgium and felt warmly welcomed by our hosts. Puglia now brings to mind warm weather, a welcoming atmosphere, and the stay Maria and Francesca arranged for us at B & B Masseria Faraone. The property is a typical square farmhouse with Trulli homes. Its restoration took three years and was completed in 2017. They kept the place authentic while adding comfort, including a large swimming pool among olive trees. The original materials and thoughtful decoration make it a beautiful place.

We left Masseria Faraone with heavy hearts. We had a magical stay and would recommend it again and again to anyone looking for a memorable escape. The farmhouse is centuries old and has been lovingly restored, with rustic charm and elegance. Our Trulli was comfortable and full of distinctive Puglia style. Antique furniture and modern amenities gave it a peaceful, timeless feel. Maria welcomed us warmly along with her three doggo's, and we felt like cherished guests from the start. The Masseria sits quietly among olive groves in the Puglian countryside, but Locorotondo, Martina Franca, and Alberobello are still close by. We spent time by the pristine pool, ran, walked, or biked to Locorotondo, our favourite town in Puglia, and drove to Alberobello and Ostuni. Maria also gave us great restaurant recommendations for those towns. The breakfast was impeccable, and Maria's thoughtful tips made it easy to explore the region. Masseria Faraone feels like a destination in itself, with the spirit of southern Italy and its culture all around. We can't wait to return.

The gardens of olive trees and lavender, along with the pool, make this a lovely place to relax. It's also well placed for exploring the surrounding area. This was my second visit to Masseria Faraone, and I enjoyed it as much as the first. The property has been restored with real care. Maria and her family are wonderful hosts who make you feel welcome and comfortable, and breakfast is always a treat to look forward to. Grazie mille.
