  : A beautiful place in quiet countryside with all the facilities you need for a short or long stay
  : Apple maps, Google maps and our car satnav failed to direct us there! We found it thanks to Maria who ran around in her Ford KA looking for us. BIG TIP for Puglia search for property before you get there and drop a flag so you get directed to the flag.

  : The location and facilities are really great. Everything looks unreal and the pool is a very nice added bonus with great views. Gives you a great vibe of being in the typical southern Italian masseria. Great free parking spot. The room was very big and cozy.
  : No wifi and no internet connection inside our room. The breakfast runs from 8:30 to 9:30, which if you are there on holiday is too early (at least for us). We went for breakfast at around 10 and they had saved us some food but it was very limited selection. The staff could be friendlier. They have no restaurant on site, so no lunch or dinner. However, sometimes they have a cook that organises dinners on special occasions. We had asked if we could have dinner but were told that it depended on whether the chef was willing to cook. We then found out that they did have dinner organised for some of the nights we were there but did not ask us to join.

  : We spent three nights at Sant Elia during late October. It was off season, but the property and the experience were still wonderful. The history of the property is so interesting; and the grounds are beautifully kept. Trullis everywhere lend a magical air to everything around. Breakfast was a special treat, with homemade goodies and fresh coffee, eggs and fruit. We walked into Locorotondo one day, which was one of my favorite days of our two month expedition in Europe. Arbobello was a quick drive down the beautiful country roads, and well worth exploring.
  : Since the host didn't speak much English, and we didn't speak much Italian, it would've been great to have some printed material to provide hints on the area and the property itself. But everyone was so helpful and kind - it's hardly a complaint worth making.

  : Masseria Sant'Elia was simply a lovely place to stay. Positioned in the centre of the Itria Valley's golden triangle of Locorotondo, Alberobello and Martina Franca, it was the perfect location for exploring this area.The staff spoke little English but this didn't matter. They were extremely friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was, without doubt, the best we have had so far in Italy The grounds are delightful with views over the valley and lots of olive trees dotted around .We would liked to have stayed longer as it was so pleasant and peaceful.

  : Beautiful countryside
  : Although there were trulli houses attached to our room, we didnt stay in a trulli! I felt cheated.
