Really nice place, spacious, great decor and well-equipped.
Vito could not have been more helpful and welcoming and we were overwhelmed to receive a gift of beautiful fresh cherries from his orchard. Not only were they tasty but displayed like a flower arrangement.
Grazie mille
We have had a fantastic holiday in the masseria.Vito is a perfect host, he wants to make you feel comfortable and thinks of everything. For example, he arranged that 2 cots and 2 high chairs were ready and all beds were made. We have traveled a lot in our lives, but I have never seen a stay where so many kitchen utensils and crockery etc were available. Really grand. The house has everything for at least 12 people and much more, so that you can eat together at the table both inside and outside. The bathrooms are fine and the bedrooms very romantically decorated. Everywhere mosquito nets in the bedrooms. Great beds.
He also picked us up because our car was stolen and we had no transport to the Masseria. He arranged a car for us and that was all very friendly !!
Conveniently, we were able to communicate with him through a lady friend who acted as a Dutch interpreter. He Vito was always available everywhere and gave us good tips. Supermarket etc is nearby and a 7 min drive from Castellana Grotte. There is a beautiful b b q and a very nice pizza oven and lots of outdoor space. Beautifully Massaria which is as in the pictures. Thank you Vito for everything

Abbiamo comodamente soggiornato in 11, compresi 5 bambini, senza percepire alcun problema di spazio. Il proprietario, Vito, si Ăš rivelato un ospite squisito ed attento, cosĂŹ come i signori che alloggiano nella struttura adiacente. Nel complesso un soggiorno estremamente piacevole, da cui si parte con un buon ricordo della puglia e dei pugliesi.
Accoglienza straordinaria, posto incantevole , pulizia impeccabile! Il proprietario della casa , di una gentilezza e disponibilitĂ di altri tempi, ti consiglia i locali migliori, posti da visitare e ha fatto di tutto per rendere meravigliosi il nostro soggiorno .
Vorresti non andare mai via da un posto cosĂŹ! Ottimo per chi vuole rilassarsi e divertirsi( spiagge vicine, eventi, sagre, concerti),strategico per visitare le localitĂ piĂč belle della Puglia e la vicina Matera. Per chi ama dedicarsi alla cucina ci sono anche il forno a legna e tutto il necessario per il barbecue!
Ci ritorneremo!!
Das Haus liegt ruhig und idyllisch inmitten von Olivenhainen. Wir waren nur 5 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder, aber 4 Leute hÀtten noch leicht Platz gehabt.
Das dritte Bad liegt allerdings auĂerhalb des Hauses. Im Sommer sicher kein Problem, aber bei unserem Aufenthalt war es sehr kĂŒhl. Die Heizung und der offene Kamin haben fĂŒr wohlige WĂ€rme gesorgt.
Ausgestattet ist das Haus sehr gut.
Vito ist ein toller Gastgeber, immer erreichbar und unwahrscheinlich hilfsbereit. Auch fĂŒr kleine Kinder sind viele nette Aufmerksamkeiten vorhanden. BadehandtĂŒcher fĂŒr den Strand sollte man selbst mitbringen.
Abbiamo soggiornato presso questo antico casale ad agosto 2016. Ci siamo trovati benissimo! La casa era in perfette condizioni ed esattamente come descritta. Il luogo Ăš molto tranquillo, immerso negli uliveti. La sera si puĂČ godere di splendide stellate e di grande tranquillitĂ .
In pochi minuti si raggiungono le belle spiagge di Monopoli. Il posto Ăš anche strategico per raggiungere agilmente interessanti localitĂ della Puglia. Noi abbiamo visitato Monopoli, Alberobello, Ostuni, Cisternino, Polignano a Mare, Bari. Tutti bei posti raggiungibili in 30/45 minuti di auto. Inoltre abbiamo visitato anche i sassi di Matera, raggiungibili in poco piĂč di un'ora. Quindi si possono abbinare giornate al mare con giornate dedicate alla visita di questi interessanti luoghi. Ottima l'ospitalitĂ che abbiamo ricevuto dal proprietario e dalla sig.ra che abita vicino e custodisce la casa. Casa vacanza sicuramente da consigliare.
we stayed here for eight days last september and had a fantastic time.
the house is really spaciousand the kitchen is very well equipped.
we were with our son who is three and he had a great time to.
he had all the space to run around and we didn't have to look where he was all the time because he couldn't leave the property.
there is a small bedroom for children next to the master bedroom so that was good to.
it has a very large fruit and olive garde behind the house with figs lemons olives cherries wich you can pick right of the tree.
during our stay only the figs were still on the tree because the other seasons had been allready but they were amazing.
keep in mind you need a car during your stay because you are 15 min drive from the closesed supermarket.
i would very much recommend this house for families.
Casala Don Ambrogio Was a fabulous place to stay! It is located in the beautiful countryside in the olive and cherry trees, so if you go at the right time of year there are plenty of cherries to eat (which we certainly did!). Vito, the host, also makes great olive oil from the trees there, which we loved!
The casala is well equipped with everything you could want. It was very clean, with nice linen and towels. There is plenty of space for everyone. We were two couples, but it would be perfect for families too. There is a lovely garden with 3 different outdoor places to eat and we had all our meals outside. The outdoor wood oven was great - we used it often, with advice from the lovely lady next door who showed us the 'right' way to do it (and who showered us with lovely homemade Puglian treats!).
The location is lovely. It was nice to be in the countryside but the towns are all close enough to explore. We drove all over the area, but it was always nice to come home to our quiet, peaceful casale at the end of the day. There are basic food shops and other provisions within a couple of kilometres, so you can stay close to home if you choose. Be sure to try the traditional focaccia at Il Boss, it's AMAZING!
Vito is a great host, very prompt at replying and keen to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You will not regret your choice to stay here - we will certainly try to return!!
