Die Lage im Weinanbaugebiet, das gute Frühstück und das herzliche Verhalten der Bediensteten.

The staff were very professional and helpful with dinner recommendations. The vineyard was in an excellent location just outside the city of Manduria where the Primitivo museum was. The wine tasting we had was outstanding and the wines were exceptional

Shortly before our arrival the chef got sick and the restaurant had to close. We were looking forward to adding a tasting menu to our stay.

Luxury room and clean

It’s basically the room and nothing else

Wine. Room. Staff. Anthony.

There was an event during our stay, so I’d recommend checking in advance if there’s one planned. The general feeling is that they try, but something is missing when it comes to hospitality. Because of the event, the beautiful terrace was occupied and we were the only table seated inside, a little forgotten, although it did give us a front row seat to the behind the scenes dynamics. Dinner was good and somewhat special, but it’s only four courses and, for the price, you can easily find a better, more authentic local dinner nearby for half the money. The owner eventually appeared, little belly leading the way, reached out his hand and simply announced his name, seemingly expecting us to be thrilled to meet the legend himself. After watching him run the place like an unsuccessful dictator, mostly shouting at his staff, we weren’t exactly starstruck. Don’t get me wrong, if you’re into Primitivo definitely come for the tour and tasting, even stay the night. Just skip dinner and eat somewhere local instead.
