Masseria Ayroldi

Visited the masseria with my partner for 5 nights and we truly enjoyed our stay. Everything was absolutely perfect. The location close to Ostuni is ideal. Rooms were beautiful and very clean. Breakfast is particularly good. We enjoyed the quietness of the place and the kindness of the staff. Will be recommending it to anyone who wants to visit Puglia.

We stayed at the Masseria for 6 nights. The grounds and buildings are beautiful, the guest rooms spacious, and the beds very comfortable. But it was the people and service that really stood out. Every member of the staff was courteous, pleasant and eager to please. Even the owner was gracious and friendly. Anna and Alessandro managed the front office and went above and beyond to be helpful. Whether it was a recommendation for a restaurant, sites to visit, a hair salon or laundry service, they were able to point us in the right direction. On the day of our departure, poor weather resulted in the cancellation of a ferry we had booked. Even though it was literally across the country, Alessandro jumped in to assist and organized alternate transportation. We are very glad we chose Masseria Ayroldi and highly recommend it.

Fabulous masseria set deep in the olive groves about 10 mins from stunning town of ostuni. The approach to the masseria through the olive groves is impressive. Huge green doors open to a beautiful whitewashed courtyard with big olive oil flagons, cactuses and ancient olive trees. Our room was in the original masseria with domed ceilings and a shuttered door and tiny window to keep out the heat. The staff are friendly and attentive. Their communication before we arrived checking our arrival time and offering to provide food in our room if we were late was very thoughtful. Breakfast is delightful with fruit, home backed cakes and local cured meats, cheeses and grilled vegetables. The pool is beautifully set out with a vine laden pergola all around it to provide shade and bar offering drinks and light lunches . We kept returning early to the masseria to enjoy the luxury of the pool area . We enjoyed dinner at the masseria 4 nights out of our 5 night stay. The food was excellent. They grow their own vegetables and make their own delicious olive oil. We particularly enjoyed the fun night of pizzica and panzerotti - local food and dancing which we were all encouraged to join in! Our hostess Deborah was very welcoming and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great stay.
