Dal Canonico

We chose the hotel as it was close to a wedding venue we were attending. The garden is well kept and very pretty. Alex was very helpful keeping us supplied with drink and sandwiches when needed. We have to give a shout out to guiseppe and his sister for picking us up from the train station and not only that guiseppe kindly gave us a lift to the next hotel.

Every once in awhile you come across a place that just resonates with you and that memory stays etched in your mind as someplace special. This was that place for me! The older farmhouse and grounds (called a Masseria in Puglia) were beautiful with stunning gardens, a turtle pond and pool and many areas for outdoor seating with views of olive groves, grapes and flowers. We were welcomed by Alex who was so friendly and was available throughout our four-night stay to answer questions or chat. The property operates as an event space and is known for its gourmet events. Our room in a building adjacent to the farmhouse was spacious and well appointed with a fridge and table with two chairs. There was a separate sink area from the bathroom which was allowed for one person to use while the other showered. In the morning a table was set for us in the dining room with a nice breakfast selection of pastries, yoghurt, fruits, meat and cheese. The location is central to the town of Rutguliano and a good base for visiting Puglia. From here we travelled to Conversano, Alberobello, Ostuni, Otranto and Gallipoli with ease. But we genuinely looked forward to returning to the farmhouse for a glass of wine in the spectacular garden.

Was an amazing stay and the staff is super kind, always helpful and makes you feel like home. Perfect place for a getaway

A very nice historic hotel in countryside. Quiet surroundings. Wish to go back with more time. A recommendation would be to have the history behind the place in English.
