We stayed for 1 week at the Masseria. It was great. Joan and Dario are very nice, kind and helpful.They really make you feel at home. We stayed in the apartment "Ipogeo" which is spacious, very comfortable and furnished in a personal, tasteful way. Also the location is very nice: the white Masseria between the low walls and very old... More

We stayed here for one week. The owners (Joan & Dario) were lovely, kind and helpful. The rooms are clean & very comfortable. The pool (natural water, no chlorine) was also superb and an excellent place to relax in total peace amidst the olive groves of the surrounding gardens. It you want a place to get away from it all...

My Wife and I also arrived late on Saturday and was greeted by a cheerful and hospitable Dario, following our long drive from Amalfi. Thanks again Dario! Our accomodation was just what we needed, spacious, clean, cool and metres away from a chlorine-free swimming pool. You can borrow from a selection of bicycles, (available to the residents for free) and... More

On our trip to Italy this April, the plan was to visit Rome and then go to Puglia, explore local architecture and stay in an apartment instead of a hotel. We drove from Rome and arrived late at night, grumpy and exhausted. Our host Dario, took us to our apartment at the back of the Masseria. Our seven year old... More

We just got back after having spent our final week of our vacation at this beutiful masseria, hidden away in Apulia between the sea and the mountains of Valle d'Itria. The masseria is actually not a B&B - I would rather call it an exclusive country home for those who prefer to stay in an appartment instead of a hotel!... More

We have just got back from spending an idyllic week at the Masseira Torre Abate Risi and only wish that our stay could have been for longer. After the easy 30 minute drive from Brindisi Airport we entered the gates of the Masseria to a warm welcome. The expectations that we had from the webiste were more than fulfilled. Our... More

We had a wonderful stay here. After an easy half an hour journey from Brindisi airport we arrived at the stunning Masseria Torre Abate Risi. The apartment was clean and decorated beautifully, the view and surrounding countryside spectacular; like a scene out of the sound of music with all the flowers (except flat and in Puglia). The hosts Dario and... More

I had the opportunity to stay at the Masseria Abate Risi with my husband and my two children (6 and 11 years old) over the Easter weekend 2009. We appreciated very much the friendly welcome of the two owners, Dario and Joan, who gave us precious advice about places to visit during our stay in Puglia and who did really... More

First let me say they have by far the best website for all the Masserias we checked out. The place is as in the pictures, very nice, finely redecorated with impeccable taste by Joan, who owns the place together with her husband, Dario. They are both very nice and friendly, will give you a lot of help with where to... More
