Masseria Tenuta Afra

The di Pierro family gave us a very warm welcome, including a basket of lovely local and homemade products to taste. The renovated farmhouse has all the comforts, plus a nice new pool set among olive trees. The central air conditioning was perfect for sleeping well in the heat of southern Italy. Lecce is very close. A great experience!

The view over the olive trees and Puglian countryside charmed us every day, and the place was wonderfully peaceful for unwinding. The pool area is a highlight, nicely designed for relaxing or having fun. Larger groups can have their own private spaces and still meet in the cozy outdoor area. Our accommodation was clean and practical, with a kitchen for preparing meals. The hostess was warm and friendly, and we appreciated the welcome gift. The beach is about 20 minutes away by car, a beach club around 30 minutes, and the regional towns are easy to reach. Gallipoli, for example, is 50 minutes away. Squinzano is a charming, quiet little town, though it doesn’t have extensive infrastructure. A lovely place in nature for a relaxing stay, outings, or time with family and friends. We’d definitely come back!

We spent a weekend here in August with my family and had a really positive stay. The pool was a favorite for cooling off on hot days, and the large garden has plenty of green space for children. The whole property is surrounded by greenery and very carefully maintained. It felt peaceful from the moment we arrived, with great cleanliness and attention to detail. We’d happily recommend it to anyone wanting to unwind close to nature, and we’ll be back!

The pool was a lovely extra, clean and quiet among the greenery, just right for cooling off and enjoying the sun. My room was cozy, spotless, and well cared for, and the location was convenient while still quiet. I spent a few days here and had a very pleasant stay. It’s a simple, well-kept place for exploring or relaxing. I’d recommend it and would gladly return. Thanks for everything!
