Masseria & Spa LuciaGiovanni

The hotel has an excellent swimming pool. Grounds are nice and they have nice restaurant and courtyard for sitting in. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Rooms a bit dark and tired could do with a refit. Bed very high which is strange. Our room had the bed on a platform above the seating area. This looks nice but when your half asleep at 3.00am it requires more concentration to navigate the staircase to go to the toilet. The Moroccan theme of the décor is nice. Breakfast has a large choice and is ok. We did not eat in the restaurant for dinner but it was nice that the choice was there as a number of the hotels we stayed in did not have a restaurant open apart from breakfast. It is on the outskirts of Lecci and you can either take your car in or a taxi will cost 15 euros each way. It is too far to walk. An interesting hotel that could do with rooms upgraded. Despite that I would happily stay there again as it is in a very good location for exploring the area, has a amazing swimming pool and very friendly and helpful staff.

I do not like to post negatively but it was all the positive reviews that helped me decide to book this Masseria and they were very misleading. The staff could not be nicer but the place is in need of a total facelift if it is to retain a 4 star rating. The floors in our room and through the property are badly scuffed and cracked. In our room the ceiling needed repair and the mattress was a thin hard slab. On the other hand the upholstery inside and outside our room was so worn you sink in. I have visited Morocco several times and the decor is one of my favorites styles but here the decor is just dark and drab now- not the vivid spice colors of Marrakech. We had dinner one night and sadly it was just average at best. To be honest we had booked a stay of 4 nights but left after the first night as we were very disappointed. This could be a wonderful property with a total update.

This was my second time staying at the masseria in two months. I stayed here in July with a friend and returned in September with my mother. In both stays, the staff at this family run hotel was extremely warm and helpful. All of our requests were accommodated. For example, when i needed to use my work computer and could not do to security settings on my laptop, the staff logged me onto the staff wifi rather than the unsecured guest wifi (this is something other hotels refuse to do). The property is beautiful, especially the pool, which is enormous and easy to enter (sloping ground rather than stairs) - important if you’re traveling with older family members. The parking is free and easy - which makes day trips to nearby towns like Gallipoli, Otranto or the beach areas very easy. In the morning there is a generous breakfast buffet with plenty of salty and sweet, healthy or indulgent options. I believe all the rooms have private patio facing the garden or at least garden access - at least the four rooms I saw on my two visits. There is also a nice courtyard where they light a fire pit in September (not in July because it’s too hot). Overall the property has many cozy areas to sit and read a book or do some work on your laptop.

A lovely hotel just 10 minutes drive to Lecce. Out side of the hotel was not that nice but the hotel was a Little Oasis, The bedroom as on the small side with the highest bed I’ll ever had to get into. The staff were very nice and helpful. I would recommend this hotel.

Service was outstanding. The hotel helped us tips, restaurant and beach club bookings. Breakfast was plentiful and we were kindly asked to help ourselves before the buffet shut. The pool is huge and heaven in the heat. We had a suite for the 4 of us. The building was 5 centuries old with huge ceilings. To top it off, the hotel is a stones throw away from the town centre. I highly recommend this hotel for exploring Lecce and Salento.

My friend and I spent 4 nights at Masseria Luciagiovanni. We each had garden rooms - mine had a large private covered patio with a daybed and sofa for relaxing outdoors. My friend’s room did not have private outdoor space but he had a larger interior - with a king sized bed. We both loved the swimming pool and the friendly staff. Although the hotel is on the edge of town it’s very convenient for parking and driving to the beaches. I would definitely come back.

Amazing and attentive staff. Wonderful food! Rooms were immaculate.

Incredible hospitality and unique Moroccan Design Very large with outdoor and indoor pool seating areas throughout the property. Delicious and plentiful complimentary breakfast. The restaurant served deli lious Leccese cuisine. The front desks associates were extremely helpful too. Great place to stay for a couple of days to enjoy the spa too

Thanks to the staff for a lovely week away
