“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2010

person found this review helpful

I confess to being a little disappointed on arrival--I was hoping for rural isolation, but the farm is just off a main road, with a commuter rail line running behind it. Here's the great thing, though--after one dinner and one sleep, I absolutely didn't care any more. Dinner was a communal four-course feast of the best, simple, Puglian home cooking imaginable with excellent, unlimited red wine; the bed was comfy, the room was quiet and dark at night, and despite having the room closest to the tracks, the train didn't bother us in the least. Domenico, his mom, the staff (the loveliest, cheeriest, hardest-working two-woman team ever), the homey atmosphere are everything all the other good reviews on this site say they are. The folks in the one disappointed review should have had a meal--it would have cheered them up big time.

I've stayed in three other agriturismi, and this one beat them all hands down for good food and friendliness. I also liked that the grounds are big enough that it's easy to go off and find a spot to read or relax in, out of the way, rather than being stuck with either your room or a common area. It was a bit cool for swimming the week we were there, but the pool was gorgeous and clean, surrounded by olive trees, with lots of deck chairs and umbrellas, and plenty of sunbathing going on.

We stayed a week and it was hard to leave. Just a good, good place, all round.

“Purest food, great atmosphere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2010

person found this review helpful

This is an agriturismo using its own organic products to serve simple but wonderfully tasting breakfasts and dinners. You will meet lots of other nationalities around at the shared dinner table, and you will come to love the hosts. Our room was very simply furnished and some woodwork could use some paint, but everything worked and had great atmosphere.

“Atmospheric stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2010

We stayed 5 days at Serragambetta and for us it was super.
If you search for luxery an comfort you can go better elsewhere. If you want a homy atmosphere you should go.
We had a very large room with a little balcony. The room was furnished well. There was enough space for our luggage and everthing was clean.
There is also a swimming pool.
But the best were the evening meals. SUPPER. Mother zia Nina and Gina made great meals. Every evening it was a surprise. Pizza night was very special.

There was no TV but they maneged a TV for us when the soccer game Holland-Japan was played. Nothing was too much.

We visit the caves in Castellana Grotte, the trulli's from Alberobello, nice little villages as Locorotondo, Cisternino.
We also visit Matera a beautifull old city.

Thanks to the Lanera family and their staff we had a great stay. We hope we can go back someday.

“enttäuschend- gibt schlimmeres aber viel besseres!/ disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2010

person found this review helpful

We´ve planned actually to stay 4 nights in this Agriturismo, Masseria.
The owner welcomed us absolutely friendly- explained us everything. From this point- all fine!
He showed us the room. I have been in many Agriturisms so far and I know there is much worse. But I´ve expected that much from the website and tripadvisor. I was totally disappointed.
To me the room (we´ve had one in the couch house- opposite side to the main house) has no charme at all, its impersonal, cold, bathroom is under average. For example the towels- they offered this kind of bed sheet towels (super thin, they use it often in italy- i hate them) and they´ve put them not in the bathroom, no - they´ve put them on the table in the kind of kitchenette. The kitchenette had no tools- but we could´ve asked for some ...but also there it´s been so cold, just a room with a ugly table and chairs, no warm atmosphere, nothing.
Bathroom: It was clean (also the other rooms) but shower looked not inviting at all.
Furniture in general like my grandmothers. The whole thing didn´t look welcoming, or that someone took care that we felt good there to me.
I´m not expecting a 5 star...otherwise I would´ve booked one but I expect a nice and cosy room- especially in April when its not hot outside and you wanna stay also a bit inside to read or relax. In the summer you stay 12 hours outside- not in April! No TV. This is not important- just wanna mention it.
As far asI´m concerned the heating didn´t work, but we didn´t ask since we left after one night. Not possibel for 4 nights during this season.

And additionally it cost almost 80EUR (for 2) !!! To me the relation between money and the result is not matching at all!

We havn´t tried the food but we´ve seen the other ones eating and it looked really good.

So maybe that helps a bit more than the other opinions here.

“Great way to experience rural Italy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2010

Our 1-night stay was one of the best in our 3 weeks in Southern Italy. Spacious, quiet apartment with very comfortable bed. But best part of the experience was shared dinner and breakfast with host family (mother, Dominico, Tyana, and baby Louie), and other guests from all over Europe. Dinner conversation was in four languages.

Dinners are gastronomic events, topped off by home made liquors. Dominico is an environmental engineer besides being a farmer and has designed and constructed a solar panel array to provide power. He graciously showed us all the crops (which provide the freshest ingredients for meals). He also provided excellent advice on surrounding sights, using his local knowledge to keep us away from tourist traps.

Reservations were easy via e-mail and Dominico worked with us so that we had some flexibility in our schedule. Highly recommended.
