Location wasn’t ideal but that was on me for not looking it up.

Really beautiful quiet farmhouse away from the city centre. Be prepared to have to drive here and have a car and stock up on groceries as there’s nothing within 15 minutes drive.

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) My recent stay at Tenuta Badessa in Puglia was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel like family. This charming holiday location exceeded our expectations in every way, and it was made even more special by the genuine kindness and meticulous arrangements of the owner. Francesca and Paul, the owners of Tenuta Badessa, deserve a heartfelt thank you for making our vacation truly unforgettable. Their unwavering support, especially for my child and me, added an extra layer of comfort and ease to our stay. The way they effortlessly catered to our needs and ensured that we felt right at home was remarkable. A special mention must be reserved for the shining star of Tenuta Badessa, Elisabetta. She is a beacon of positivity and care, a true ray of sunshine. Her dedication to our well-being was heartwarming, and her genuine concern for our comfort and enjoyment was evident in every interaction. Elisabetta’s presence truly elevated our experience, and her warm smile brightened even the sunniest of Puglian days. The accommodations and amenities provided by the owner were impeccable. The well-maintained facilities showcased the owner’s dedication to providing a top-notch experience. Our cozy and comfortable room was a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the stunning surroundings. The attention to detail and the thoughtfulness put into every aspect of the stay truly set Tenuta Badessa apart. And let’s not forget the adorable dogs that call this place home. Their friendly nature and wagging tails made us feel like part of the pack, and we already miss their joyful greetings. Our stay at Tenuta Badessa was so exceptional that we’ve been raving about it to all our friends and family. The combination of breathtaking landscapes, exceptional hospitality, and the genuine care we received is something that we can’t help but share with everyone we know.

All was good

Lovely comfortable and peaceful stay just a 5 minute drive to the sea. Rooms, pool, garden all of a high standard. Restaurant on site- open every evening and very popular with locals and tourists. Hostess, proprietors and housekeeping very helpful and accommodating. Nunu (the resident dog) and his little sidekick very friendly and inobtrusive.

It is a little paradise in the middle of olive garden. Beautiful sorroundings, comfortable rooms. Amazing service. Betta was so service minded and helped out at any time with different requests. Francesca as well was caring and service minded. My 3 year old loved the pool and we all enjoyed the restaurant there. We would love to come back.

Large clean apartment, all comforts, large swimming pool, and big garden with grass. Francesca and her staff were very friendly and always available for everything. I recommend to buy the olive oil they produce. We will def be back in the future. Thanks.

A shame the restaurant is no longer open.

Lots of space in the apartment, nice staff, beautiful and tranquil grounds, perfect for walking the dog in the olive groves.

When we were there (in October, off-season) the whole place was closed, so no restaurant and almost no one in the building. The kitchen in the apartment was barely minimal, with just a few pans and pots, a "coffee machine" that was a dirty and broken moka and without even a proper knife. Also the wifi stopped working during our stay.

It's a nice place, quiet and far from the city. The apartment itself had two separate bedrooms and own outside area with a table, so it was a good place to stay with a family

Upon arrival, the bed and pillows reeked of sweat and body odor. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, I was told about the laundry cleaning process, which was fine, but the mattress & pillows themselves stunk of someone else's sweat. It was disgusting and hard to stomach. Had we not already paid for the property we would have found somewhere else. We were staying at the property for 1 week and when we arrived there was 1 toilet paper roll provided. We asked for a second which was provided but when we asked for more we were told we had to buy our own. This is fine, but guests should be made aware of this requirement upon check-in, not 4-days into the stay. We were also told 4-days into our stay, that we had to buy our own garbage bags if we wanted to empty the garbage in the apartment. Again, another thing that would have been nice to know upon check-in. I asked the staff for a towel refresh halfway through our stay and my request went unanswered/no response. So we had the same towels for the whole week. We also asked the staff about sampling the olive oil or purchasing some olive oil from the farm - again, our request went unanswered. Although the property itself is very peaceful, I've never been on a piece of land with so many flies. They were everywhere. I could maybe see this on a farm with animals & maneur but there were no animals on this farm. Overall I was extremely disappointed with our experience at this property, feel we overpaid for our stay, and would not recommend this property.

The restaurant on the property, which is privately owned, was fantastic.
