Masseria le Carrube

I booked a visit to Le Carrube in August as part of a wedding party. Unfortunately, I was unable to travel because of an unexpected illness. The matter was handled extremely well and sympathetically and included a personal call from The Manager Eugenio Pugliese. So impressive. Le Carrube has a sister hotel in Chelsea, San Domenico House and I will certainly be paying a visit.

I definetly think this property doesn’t get the attention it deserves. We stayed in a family suite in Le Carrube and had a second room for my parents - both rooms were great but room 16 ( suite) was fabulous. huge by italy standards and perfect for a family of 4 with plenty of private space for kids. Immaculate and clean. Aside from the picture perfect location the staff couldn’t Be nicer , more interactive or efficient. they made it impossible to have complaints. On one night when we were too tired after a boat trip they set up our courtyard like a beautiful restaurant for room service . we also got to experience a euro cup game / pizza party in the olive groves that was a highlight for my soccer loving son. I felt as if I was at a private villa- the staff : anna, Pietro, Matteo and many others went above and beyond. I would only wish there were some more activities or food options on site. with being so far from other towns: properties they need to offer more on premises. when I inquired about things they said they offered ( olive oil, wine tasting) they deferred me to a 3rd party who 1) took weeks to respond and I already had plans and 2) wanted me to go elsewhere and it was quite costly, Also, you can use borgo egnazia beach clubs ( also fabulous) but I realized after any one could and would pay the same amount. they should offer a discount or at least complimentary transportation ( a courtesy car or town shuttle would be fabulous here ) . regardless I would recommend this property in a second to anyone!

My Wife and I are on a walking trip from Locorotondo to Ostuni. Due to the blistering heat we had to take shelter. Messeria Le Carrube was fortunately a short distance from our route. The Staff graciously welcomed us and treated us to fresh water melon and ice cold water. Such hospitality is seldom found. Unfortunately we had already pre-booked accommodation otherwise we would have definitely stayed at Messeria Le Carrube.
