  Location ok with car - not a culinary experience

  25 May 2026

  Rooms comfortable and cleaned regularly. Unaware resort not fully open. Many facilities including beach not available. Limited entertainment. Only one restaurant and bar open. Most people on tour group and away during the day. V v quiet when stayed during the day. Car definite must to see Puglia and positioned well to travel to places. Very disappointing food (quality) not representative of Puglian food bought when out each day which was excellent.

  Disappointing, remote location, variable food

  23 May 2026

  As we drove towards the place, we thought we were arriving at a barracks/camp. The architecture is a tad brutalist for the accommodation blocks. It didn’t help that much of the garden was overgrown. The place looked run down and neglected, with grass very high and weeds sprouting everywhere. Gardeners started working and killing weeds as the week progressed. It made a huge difference. Our room: We were a long way from the main facilities in the farm building. Every time we went up and down, the north wind was strong, and it’s a long walk. The bedroom was well provided, fresh and clean, with a comfortable bed, good shower facilities, and sufficient storage. The bathroom products are very good. One small area for improvement - there is no mirror near natural light, and no plug near the mirror in the hall. The small seating area outside was a bit tatty but it was handy to have a clothes airer. The hotel only provides one bottle of water for the week, but you can top up by the pool. We would have appreciated a bit more in the fridge because the bar is so far away. The room was cleaned well, each day.Re dining: We were part of a tour group, so we had to sit at long tables all week. At times, it felt like canteen dining. When other groups were in, there were long queues to get food, and at breakfast, things ran out; you wait ages for a coffee. Lunches were basic; packed lunches were the same items every day but sufficient to make a roll with meat and cheese. The first three nights, the evening main course was at best tepid, not even warm. The best food was when they did a local night, superb! The entertainment that night was also excellent. The next night the food was very poor in comparison. Most nights, there was little to do except go to the bar, which is very small if you have to sit in, and understaffed if it is busy. The staff there are very good. The snacks put out for ‘all inclusive’ were appreciated, but they do not stop others helping themselves who were not all inclusive.We were so disappointed that there was no mini-bus to anywhere. The beach was not yet open. We only found this out in the week before, and it had been one of the incentives as we didn’t want to be stuck in the hotel. We have stayed in a Masseria before; unfortunately, this one was not as good. We love Italian food but expected better at a four star resort and certainly not food that it being kept at a temperature that should not be acceptable for health and safety . We also expected the grounds to be ready for guests. Veronica Petracca, Marketing at Relais Masseria Le Cesine - CDSHotels, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for sharing your experience at Relais Masseria Le Cesine CDSHotels.We are pleased to read your appreciation for the room assigned to you and for the warm hospitality of our bar staff.

  An 80 year old woman’s opinion!

  21 May 2026

  On arrival we didn’t get the twin bedroom we had ordered and after being shown similar but not twin bedrooms we were offered a twin bedded room which we accepted. By this time we arrived tired and late for dinner, which was disappointing, and we found all of this very stressful. The rest of the holiday was good for me, the bedroom had good facilities, I enjoyed the poolside, the bar with entertainment (a little too loud) the food was good but not everyone thought so. We missed having some other life within close walking distance to walk to. The excursions were good but the guides took up too much of our time giving us very little time to wander on our own. Also the coaches could not park close enough to where we were going. Veronica Petracca, Marketing at Relais Masseria Le Cesine - CDSHotels, responded to this review Dear Lorrie,Thank you for choosing Relais Masseria Le Cesine - CDSHotels for your holiday and for sharing your experience with us.We are pleased to know that you appreciated several aspects of your stay, including the comfort of the accommodation and the care with which the village’s natural surroundings are maintained.
