Brilliant stay, friendly and welcoming hosts, clean room, beautiful gardens, shimmering pool

This masseria is an ideal base to explore Puglia. The stay surpassed our expectations - it was marvellous to be given a home baked cake on arrival and to be able to pick fresh fruit for breakfast was delightful

Fantastic property, great facilities, lovely pool and gardens

We really enjoyed our 8 night stay here. The facilities were very good. Everything you needed to cook, comfy mattress... always a must for a good nights sleep! Wonderful gardens where the owners Ian & Lucy we’re more than happy for you to roam, pick your own tomatoes, courgettes ... just a couple of the many homegrown produce. The pool was fantastic as were the outdoor bbq’s. We had a lovely welcome Hamper after a late night arrival which was so thoughtful. The information pack was also so helpful, we went to several of the recommended beaches, towns and restaurants, all of which did not disappoint. We can’t recommend this property enough, a perfect stay, thanks Ian & Lucy! Andrew & Claire

Thanks very much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and we're really glad that you had a great stay. Had great fun discussing the state of the world over a glass (or two...or three) of local wine under the stars!

Marvellous Masseria Giulio

We've just got back from a wonderful week at the Masseria Giulio with my daughter and family. Ian and Lucy have done a fantastic job of restoring this old Masseria into a beautiful, quiet retreat for a family holiday. The apartments, pool, gardens and other facilities are all top class. The location is ideal for visiting all the stunning places to be found in lovely Puglia. Their advice and recommendations of places to visit were spot on. Ian and Lucy could not have been more helpful. Chris and Brian.

Séjour génial rien à redire sur le logement, le cadre ou l'ambiance de la masseria.

Impression générale très positive si il y a vais un tout petit point à améliorer ce serait la propreté à l'arrivée qui n'était pas tout à fait niquel, je rajouterai Aussi un lave vaisselle dans les logements... à pars cela rien à redire tout était parfait. Merci à Ian et Lucy pour tout.

Very nice stay in the middle of puglian region !

We had a very good time here. The apartment and the small terrace are really clean and well equiped (all new !), the pool is perfect and overall the place in this old renovated masseria is really nice. Good job Ian and lucy ! The situation is also convenient (lost in the olive trees but close enought to the main road) as we can be on the beach in 20/25 min and we are at 1/1,5h maximum of any place the the puglia (north & south) which will avoid long drive. The hosts are very sympathetic. Their welcome pack with some local surprises and a very nice book with all the nice things/places to visit are really usefull and appreciated. I recommend !

Fantastic apartment & great swimming pool in a great location

My family and I experienced a great holiday at the hands of Ian & Lucy who provided excellent, well equipped apartments set in lovely gardens with a well needed, good sized swimming pool. Ian & Lucy only too pleased to impart their knowledge of the area whenever required & would definitely recommend the 'Tasty Tuesday' event to sample Lucy's tasty cooking & Ian's choice of local wines. Would definitely recommend to family & friends & hope to return at some point.

Fantastic week in suberb surroundings

It would be hard to say anything downbeat about our stay. The surrounding's are beautiful and the apartments clean, well appointed and with every amenity that we could have asked for. Our hosts were very welcoming and we felt more like friends staying then guests. The outside area is well set out and inviting and the pool is a tremendous feature with ample sunbeds and shelter from the strong sunshine. All in all I would happily recommend this venue to friends and relatives and we are already planning a return visit.

Amazing!

Had the most amazing time staying at Masseria don Guillo owned by Lucy and Ian Allan. Very kind couple who could not do enough to make the stay so comfortable and happy. The swimming pool is the icing on the cake. Loved our apartment the tasteful way it had been appointed, the quietness of the area and its rural beauty. Within easy distance of small towns with lovely architecture and very good restaurants and beaches. You do need a car but there us a wealth if things to see. Ian is also organising wine tasting tours which we went on and was excellent. Will have to return as there us such a lot to discover
