Masseria Incantalupi

In the middle of nowhere - nicht ganz einfach zu finden, aber wenn man angekommen ist, breitet sich sofort eine Relax-Atmosphäre aus. Sehr netter Empfang (auch durch die 5 Hunde) und wunderschönes Ambiente. Wir hatten die einzige Suite mit Dusche (Oriolo) statt Badewanne, und sie war mit 45 m² gut dimensioniert, alle Annehmlichkeiten vorhanden. Vielleicht wäre ein Begrüßungsschluck nett gewesen, aber im Kühlschrank sind ja die eigenen Weine - die recht ordentlich sind und preiswert angeboten werden. Wunderbar der große Swimmingpool und das ganze Ambiente ums großzügige Landgut. Das Frühstück war ganz hervorragend, hier fehlt es an nichts, es gab auch endlich mal die überall präsenten Kaktusfeigen, aber auch Schinken, Eier, Obst, selbstgemachte Marmeladen, Kuchen, Säfte. Top! Beim 4-gängigen Abendessen für EUR 36 gab es cucina casalinga, interessant die 4-5 Antipasti, z.B. frittierte Artischocken oder eigene Burrata, die primi und secondi waren bei unseren beiden Abendessen nicht der Hammer, zumal beim Hauptgang Fleisch dann leider gar nix weiter dabei war. Kleine, aber vernünftig bepreiste Weinkarte, vorwiegend mit den eigenen Weinen. Wir würden es jedem empfehlen, der einmal ein paar Tage in Ruhe relaxen will.

There are a number of options for Masseria in Puglia but we chose and really loved this one. It was close to Brindisi and also close to a number of delightful day trips. We visited the beach towns of Polignano and Monopoli, we spent a day seeing the Trulli (enjoyed Martina Franca) and one day went to the Archaeology museum in Taranto (incredible, plus a great lunch at the harbor.) But despite all that we had plenty of pool time too! Breakfasts were excellent and best of all was the staff and the other guests. The interactions were all warm. We are so happy we stayed here!

This is a delightful quiet farm complex in the middle of olive groves. The owners and staff are all delightful and my rooms was exceptionally comfortable with good air conditioning. Every morning there was an excellent breakfast and the fixed menu evening meal was on each time delicious with the estate’s bottled wine of course. An excellent base for visiting Lecce and other parts of Puglia. If there had been good wifi in t he bedrooms I would have given 5/5 but there was very weak or non existent wifi in my bedroom.

In the middle of nature, you will find this splendid Masseria. They have their own wines and olive oil. The rooms are fabulous. Service is excellent and friendly. You can swim and play tennis, as wel as horseback riding. The food is of top quality. A place to remember and to come back to.

In the middle of olive groves, vineyards and citrus trees lies a pearl of a mansion, or actually a typical Puglianese ranch called the Masseria Incantalupi. A beautiful resort to relax by the pool, sleep in one of the spacious apartments or suites and enjoy the family’s own produced wine, olive oil and vegetables. Very tasteful apartments providing you everything you need. The thick stone mansion walls will keep you cool during the region’s hot summers. And the family who owns this property are lovely! Very dedicated to their customers, friendly and very easy going. It was a pleasure to stay here!
