Masseria Contino

Locorotondo

I love coming here. This is my third visit and I will continue to book it as the most idyllic bolt hole I have found in Italy. When stress and overwork start to take over I can recommend no better place to unwind, relax and refocus. Carmella and Vito are excellent hosts whose knowledge and love of the local area shines out. They are so friendly and kind, you couldn't ask for better. The Torre provides everything that you need for the most comfortable of stays, you will need a car to get around but as a base from which to explore the amazing sites that Puglia offers I don't think you will find better. You need to love cats, but I do, and they provide endless entertainment. Book it - you won't regret it! 

Idyllic 

This is not a large, commercial masseria but a small, simple family farm, lovingly cared for by Vittorio and Carmela, who use it as a weekend and summer retreat themselves. There are beautiful patios, gorgeous rural views, and many unique and stylish personal touches. The style is simple - no air-con - but the trulli are naturally cool. There is WiFi, the small kitchen is very well equipped, the (shared) gas barbecue excellent. You are encouraged to take fruit and vegetables from the garden. The indoor bathroom is fine, but the outdoor shower is unforgettable! We also enjoyed the cats and kittens. Our host was very friendly and gave excellent recommendations both for the local and wider Salento areas.

A charming and authentic masseria with beautiful personal touches

The apartment is as described simple and arranged on two levels, as well as having a beautiful terrace from which you can see Martina Franca and Locorotondo. The room on the first floor is very large, floors and stairs are stone like the fireplace. Everything has the charm of simplicity and rural essentiality.

Grapes and figs

Location and town of Locorotondo are beautiful. The owners are very kind and available. The trullo in which we stayed was delivered to us perfectly clean and was beautiful in every detail, from the characteristic furnishings to the view from the terrace/roof. Great for those who want to enjoy a holiday cuddled with nature and away from chaos. The only new was the shower, as already reported, very small and not perfectly functioning, but it is a decidedly overflying problem compared to the perfection of everything else.

That's great.

A wonderful place is to say nothing... the Masseria is wonderful! We stayed in the structure for a week but we would have stayed much longer! Relax and tranquility allowed us to live the holiday we had been waiting for a year! A sincere thank you to the owners Vittorio and Carmela always available for anything, they were very kind! Ah I forgot: there are wonderful and affectionate little ones living in the Masseria... one more point for those who love animals like us... to return!

Wonderful place

I'm still a guest of the facility, so the first thing I want to say is the courtesy, kindness and willingness of the operators. The facility is really charming, a very cozy, clean and well-furnished trolley.

A real charm

If 5* luxury is your thing then look elsewhere. But if you value peace and quiet in a beautiful rural setting then Masseria Contino is for you. The masseria is a former working farm which the owners Vittorio and Carmela are gradually reviving with care and love. The accommodation is simple but comfortable, with many charming personal touches throughout. We stayed in the tower, which has a roof terrace with great views of the surrounding area. The grounds are extensive and there are several different areas where you can sit out to eat or relax. You will share the space with the owners, when they are there, and with their several cats. Vittorio and Carmela are kindness itself, happy to share their home and their love and knowledge of the area with their guests.

Rustic charm in beautiful surroundings

I am very sorry to have to give a negative review for this structure but the negative sides, shortcomings and flaws of this structure are too many, and unacceptable in order to give a review as much truth and clarity as possible I add photos and I will try to be schematic DIFETTI 1) the bathroom: the bathroom that is made in a basement is small and not functional (see photo). In particular the shower is made in a corner, and is therefore very small (my husband was not there). Also (see photo) the doc cabin consists of a plastic attached with wood and repairs with a transparent scotch.

Poor structure in a good context

Returned 2 weeks ago from a fabulous holiday in Puglia. On arriving at the masseria we were greeted by Vittorio & Carmela, proprietors and two of the nicest people you could wish to meet. We stayed in the Torre (tower) which had loads of space and a roof terrace! The gardens/grounds are amazing. Enjoyed sharing the space with the family of cats. If you like rural Italy, can cope with indigenous insect life, then this accommodation is paradise. We adored it and will be back. Puglia has so much to offer and you can reach it easily from the beautiful Town of Locorotondo. See you next year Vittorio,  Carmela and cats!

wonderful stay at Masseria Contino

To sum it up: the Masseria Contino also offers pretty much everything that is needed for a relaxing holiday under the sun of Apulia. All that was also available in the small apartment of the Masseria Contino, which is just a few meters away from the beautiful small town of Contorotondo, numerous magical outdoor seats, and a special, authentic living experience in a real, old Trullo! Sure, elsewhere the rooms may be larger, with more modern furnishings and a wellness pasta than a bathroom. All that was available in the small apartment of the Masseria Contino, which is just a few meters away from the beautiful small town of Contorotondo, was not a lot of fun.
