Masseria Torricella

The hotel is very nice and quite charming. Staff was great and the suite was quite spacious. The only issue was inability to properly regulate the room temperature, which was either too cold or too warm, and a less than comfortable pillow. The grounds are lovely and the masseria exudes charm. It is about 8 minutes to Albobello so quite convenient and quiet in it's rural location.

A charming accomodation, with very welcoming staff, who made our stay an unforgetable italian experience, with their great cuisine and warm attention. The rooms are very big, with classic furniture wich makes the experience more authentic. Beautiful pool surrounded by the vineyards. An essential stop in your Italian Holidays, best breakfast ever! 10min from alberobello

This is a larger Masseria on a number of acres with plenty outside communal of space to spread out and take in the surroundings. The pool is fabulous, there is a nature walk, farm animals - as this is a working farm. They produce their own olive oil and clam, preserves, etc. The restaurant was good and you can book for dinner every night if you wish. Breakfast is included, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The location is ideal for visiting small towns, such as a Locorotundo, Alberobello, Noci and is only about a half an hour from the coast in Monopoli , etc. overall a very good choice and not overly expensive!

We booked directly with the Masseria by email. The respons was super fast and without any complications we could also book the wine tour at the connected winery Cantina Masseria Torricella. The products for their food is from their organic farm and tastes amazing. We also loved the wine and the passion behind the development.

Food was poor. Clearly they are only catering for foreigners and the menu shows that. I was told that as a vegetarian I was the problem to fix. I had the only vegetarian options on the menu. As first course I had the risotto with caciocavallo and truffle. It was bland, I could only taste lemon and a distant hint of cheese, the truffle was out of a jar and tasteless. The second course was the caciocavallo alla piastra with cream of mushrooms. Again terrible, the cheese was served on 2 slices of bread and was already hard, the cream of mushrooms was again out of a jar and tasteless. We were the only Italians at dinner and the menu and poor execution is tailored just for foreigners.

Utterly delightful oasis near Alberobello. Beautiful room, fantastic food, friendly staff and people. Lovely subset walk through the grounds, coming face to face with deer. Even the cat was friendly. Warmly recommended.

Giuseppe the owner of the vineyard took us on a wonderful tour, not just to the cantina but out into the vineyard to where the different varieties of grapes were just waiting to be picked. The vineyard is Bio (organic) and this peaked my interest and is what sold me on the tour. We love those who pour passion into the old methods to create products that are just plainly better. Giuseppe was lovely, passionate and so very patient with our many questions. Next to the beautiful tasting rooms in an old building which had once housed animals. It was beautifully restored and was made completely of local golden limestone. We were transferred to the hands of Leonardo, a young employee who despite his age, showed the same care, enthusiasm and passion as his boss. We enjoyed every wine we tasted and all the food paired with it. The food was from their organic garden garden, cheeses from their cows, and even their own honey. In the end we left happy from the experience and with a box filled with wines to enjoy at home. We would visit again when back in Puglia and also consider staying with them in the Masseria. (We accidentally arrived at the Masseria which was beautiful, and Giuseppe’s wife who runs it helped direct us to the vineyard) Grazie mille!

Really nice place to stay out of the hustle and bustle, within easy reach of lovely towns in Puglia. Lovely food, friendly staff, and beautiful room with balcony and view over the valley. Even the cat was friendly! Warmly recommended by Nick & Gabi

Like being in a ranch with animals around. Great for families. Friendly staff, large rooms. Nice athmosphere. Bathroom only ok, shower with no gel and no shelf to put anything.
