It's not easy to find Relais Masseria Villa Cenci: ride from Cisternino in the direction of Ceglie Messapica and you will find a narrow street on your right-hand side that leads you to the hotel.

The hotel is discreet and in good taste, the rooms large and comfortable, the swimming pool exceptionally wide and not crowded, and the position excellent for visiting the small towns of northern Apulia which are a delight.

As a group of six long time... More

Totally agree with the previous reviewers: This little hotel is really something special. Beautifully furnished, very clean and very friendly service. A very nice pool area in a large hotel garden - far enough from all everyday disturbances but still very conveniently located for discovering the area. We travelled with our son, and stayed in a suite which was just... More
