Breakfast was delicious with a variety of dishes. They will attend to all your travels needs.

Not a thing.

Beautiful location. Gorgeous grounds. Amazing and comfortable room. The owner and the staff went out of their way to be incredibly helpful with everything and we cannot wait to return.

Staying here was the highlight of our holiday. Despite reading the positive reviews before visiting, we were blown away by Emanuel’s (and others’) hospitality, kindness and generosity. The hotel itself is set in beautiful grounds and feels very private, despite being just a short walk from Locorotondo. Our room was well equipped and everything was high quality (bedding, showers etc). Breakfast was incredible, with lots of fresh produce provided by Emmanuel’s family/friends. We feel very privileged to have stayed here and would not hesitate to return.

We stayed in a Trully room, very unique experience. The room is comfy and spacious and clean. The owner Emanuel was super friendly and helpful. We had honor to join their pizza event on our first night and had great fun. Very tasty breakfast, everything is fresh made.

Nothing really I can think of. I would definitely recommend this place to other people.

Very nice buffet breakfast with beautiful views of the village. The service of the owner was exceptional. The personnel would help with everything within their power. Help with reservations for dinner, sightseeing and practical questions as well.

There is nothing to dislike.

Set in the beautiful countryside, but only 10 mins to the town of Locorotondo with plenty of restaurants. Accommodation very clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast. Staff are exceptional and could not do enough for you to ensure your stay is perfect.

We liked everything about the property. The rooms are spacious, functional and elegant. The garden is beautiful and well taken care of. The views of Locorotondo are spectacular. The staff (Maria Paula and Evano) are very friendly and efficient. The Owner (Emanuel and his lovely mother Mercedes) make a great team. Very professional and attentive of details. The food was excellent. We had a fantastic stay. Will always remember.

What a hidden gem!!! From the entry in a beautiful garden, the nice and clean room, a fantastic breakfast. Top service and excellent personal attention. And the magnificent view on Locorotondo is for free. A place you feel at home abroad.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

If you're staying in this region, this is a truly special place to stay. The rooms, pool, gardens, view of the beautiful town of Locorotondo and the welcome from Emanuel and his staff is second to none. It is a more than 5 star experience, with the personal touch. Breakfast had delicious options, both healthy and also some wonderful baked treats! The pool area is beautiful and relaxing, the staff always on hand to offer drinks, and if you book in advance, a wonderful meal in their gardens with a view of the town. The gardens were stunning and a great place to explore including the olive grove, which we were lucky to enjoy it's olive oil. It is relaxing and luxurious, with the added benefit of being close to Locorotondo, Martina Franca and beyond to explore the region. Emanuel is an incredible host, so welcoming and helpful and friendly. His attention to detail is second to none and he has created a very special experience for his guests. We can highly recommend a memorable stay here. If we could give more than 10/10 we would.

Having to leave!

My husband and I booked this wonderful masseria for the first few nights of our honeymoon. It could not have been any more special - that's saying a lot as we even had thunderstorms wind and rain for most of our stay but still had a fantastic time. The location amongst olive trees, fields stretching out ahead for miles and locorotondo a short walkable distance away was just brilliant. Perfect base for driving to all the must-see towns such as Alberobello and Ostuni. The masseria was such a relaxing place to spend free time with lovely gardens, a decent sized pool and plenty of places to hide away with a book. Sleeping in a trulli was a really unique experience - the bed was so comfortable and the room was beautifully decorated with wonderful original features. Locorotondo had plenty of wonderful restaurants with traditional puglian cuisine - our host had plenty of helpful suggestions which all proved to be superb. The true gem of our masseria stay was our host Emmanuel supported by his friendly team and lovely family (and cat!). Emmanuel could not do enough for us. He was so kind and generous the whole time, from welcoming us with prosecco on arrival to driving us to locorotondo on a rainy evening and even calling up our restaurant whilst we were eating there to let the waiter know it was our honeymoon so we had a dessert brought in procession to our table! We were never waiting long for a drink or snacks by the poolside. Breakfast was wonderful too with a fantastic selection of cakes made my Emmanuel's mum! We were very sad to leave and will definitely be back!

I have no complaints. They don't serve lunch or dinner, as it is a small family farmstay so I understand their limitations. The towns are close to run out to get lunch and dinner.

Masseria Grofoleo is a family-owned hotel with the most welcoming and hospitable host, Emanuel, and staff, Maria and Ivano. The grounds are gorgeous and the rooms (we stayed in the trulli) are pretty, clean and comfortable. The pool was a bit cold but when it's hot, it's perfect to cool down in. The breakfast area overlooks the hilly town of Locorotondo and a bucolic field and every morning we got the perfect cup of cappuccino, freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit and baked goods (baked by Maria). Emanuel gave great restaurant recommendations for the area. The hotel is in a central location to do day trips to Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Savelletri, Alberobello and Ostuni and is very close to Locorotondo and Martina Franca. The hotel is in a quiet area so you'll get great sleep. Our family including two kids loved staying there and didn't want to leave. The staff were so nice to our kids! We would recommend this place to our friends and hope to come back one day. Emanuel puts so much love and care into this place.

Lovely place. Nicely located very close to Locorotondo. The host is great and tries everything to please the guests. We had 4 lovely days exploring the area or just resting next to the pool.

The settings are amazing with fresh scents coming from their local flowers and herbs. The owner and staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Delicious breakfast. Beautiful view of Locorotondo. Modern amenitites and attention to details. Hope to visit again. Temperatures just a bit too low for a jump in the pool! Would love to relax on the Masseria some other time. Thank you for everything.

Very clean hotel. Beautiful garden. Wonderful family and personnel. Amazing view on Locorotondo. We will come back for sure!

Nothing, everything was perfect.

A 10 out of 10 rating does not do justice to Masseria Grofoleo. I could spend hours writing about the immaculate rooms, the manicured gardens, the breathtaking view to Locorotondo, the home made cakes and jams for breakfast and so on. But what tops it all is Emanuel. He is an exceptional hospitality professional who clearly loves his job. He goes out of his way to serve you and truly makes you feel like a friend.  We will definitely come again and I recommend staying here without any hesitation. Without a doubt, you will have a wholehearted hospitality experience.

Didn't stay long enough

EVERYTHING. Masseria Grofoleo was a truly delightful place to stay and a highlight of our trip in Italy! Emanuel was a wonderful, decent, attentive and kind host. He was always available to assist us with any questions/issues, the place is family run and his mum makes the most delicious breakfast cakes! Everything was beautiful, the trulli rooms are out of this world, the place was immaculately clean and easy to access. Locorotondo is such a pretty town- it took our breath away!
