Absolutely gorgeous, well managed property. Beautiful suite in a stone trullo, and we enjoyed the infinity pool, excellent dinner and breakfast in a stunning setting surrounded by olive groves. So peaceful and relaxing. An oasis! Did not want to leave.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel - one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed at. Staying in a trulli was a very special and enjoyable experience. The ground themselves are absolutely gorgeous, right in the middle of the countryside. Couldn’t be more immaculate. Pool was beautiful and never crowded (would have loved it a touch warmer!). Such a special and relaxing place to stay, with lots of great little towns to visit nearby. Highly recommended.

Borgo Canonica is a beautiful and very charming place with great service and attention from the staff. The atmosphere is peaceful, unique, and perfect for relaxing and enjoying the Puglia experience. The rooms and property are very well maintained and truly special. The only thing to keep in mind is that it is a bit far from the main cities and attractions, so having a car is definitely recommended. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the experience.

Borgo Canonica is an absolute gem. The service was warm, attentive, and seamless from start to finish. The property offers a rare combination of peace and quiet with a drop-dead gorgeous location, surrounded by spectacular grounds that are meticulously maintained. Pool area quiet and relaxing. No negative comments. You must have a car to access the property. Strongly recommended.

Generally this is an amazingly quiet and relaxing place to stay. It is an old Trulli village that had been lovingly restored to a high standard while resting many original features and a cosy feel. It has nearly everything that we expect- lovely rooms, bathrooms, great shower, comfortable bed, lovely grounds - pool and restaurant. It’s a great base to travel from but you’re best off with a car.
The only slight downer was the lack of facilities for a hot drink in the room. There’s always room service though.
All of the staff are very friendly and eager to assist, which is excellent.

Really lovely stay in the Trulli hotel, a small family feel to the hotel but everything you could need for a really relaxing stay. You will need a car to get around but it is a good base for exploring different bits of Puglia and the trulli are really beautiful.

Loved everything about this hotel and would 100% recommend!
We stayed at the property for 2 nights and wished I would have stayed a week! It was a perfect little haven nestled in a quiet area but perfectly located to visit all local towns around Cisternino.

The hotel had everything you could want and more, from incredible cave style rooms, to a fabulous pool!
The breakfast buffet was wonderful and had many options to cater to a variety of tastebuds.
We had a lunch on site one day and couldn't believe how fresh everything was!

Borgo Canonica is a MUST stay on your visit to Puglia if you want to visit a unique and luxurious property.

We had an amazing stay the the hotel. We were there with our 14 week old baby and the staff couldn’t have been kinder or more accommodating for us. The grounds, especially around the pool are beautiful, and the location is so peaceful. All of the food was of an incredible standard - very fresh and expansive breakfast offering, and incredible food served for dinner each evening, along with perfect wine recommendations. Couldn’t recommend this hotel more highly enough.

Amazing, though no little extras

Staying in a trillo was a highlight of the trip, this place is so well thought out, clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and there was a very helpful and friendly receptionist who was lovely.

The rooms are amazing. The whole place feels like a fairytale. It’s best to think of this as a chill day or two for by the pool and it helped us unwind after matera and travelling.

My only disappointment - it was a 30th birthday week for my partner and I had emailed ahead, and mentioned on check in. There was no extras like a note or fizz or at dinner and this was a shame - mainly because we were spoilt in matera with a bottle of fizz and a glass sent by the hotel at dinner.

There are also no standard things like free jugs or bottles of water in the room (you can buy only) and again no welcome gift / fruit or token small bottle as you would expect and generally find from this price range,
This probably needs looking at and would make the stay even better.

Fairytale living in the land of the trulli

Gorgeous hotel - luscious grounds, great swimming pool, beautifully renovated trulli. We had 3 trulli to ourselves (living room, bedroom, bathroom), with private seating outside. Breakfast was good, and staff was lovely (golf cart rides to/from parking) I just wish they were a little more accommodating when it came to staying at the pool after check-out (had to leave by 3pm or pay extra). I guess we'll just have to stay more nights next time. ;)

It’s a gorgeous hotel, out of way in a country side. Make sure you have a car and a small one.

Very unique place to stay. So glad we found this place and will go back for sure.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights, this place is a gem! It exceeded my expectations, it is luxury without the crazy price. We loved staying in our little trulli, and I was thrilled to see the beautiful pool. The breakfast was also amazing!

I would mentioned if you decide to eat at the restaurant for dinner, it is a little pricey.

Borgo Canonica is the best! Such a peaceful and luxurious gem in Puglia. We stayed for one night, but wished we had more time to stay here.

The only downside was, was that the swimming pool was super cold, but guess it's a lot better during summer time. We enjoyed a short swim anyways.

The room was very comfortable and breakfast great. WiFi worked perfectly and parking our car was easy.

The front desk staff were particularly unpleasant and rude. The hotel is understaffed compared to all the other hotels we stayed at in puglia. For ex. They close their kitchen between 1-7:30pm so no food is available to hotel guests at all. Everywhere else would at least keep a light menu available for this extended time.

pool chairs are average. No service at the pool - you can walk to the bar and order something but no one comes around, as would be expected for a hotel of this calibre.

Overall, the service was average and significantly below similar properties we stayed at in puglia.

What a fantastic place..beautifully restored trulli's set in the Italian countryside. The hotel is so clean and fresh, and our room was awesome. The rooms are all individual trulli's that have rustic but very upgraded interiors with every amenity possible. One of the largest 2 person shower I have seen in Italy. The staff was very accommodating and professional. Great breakfast and being located a bit away from a town, we ate at the hotel both nights..fantastic food!

Abbiamo trascorso un weekend meraviglioso presso Masseria Canonica e l'esperienza ha superato ogni aspettativa. La struttura è immersa in un contesto autentico e suggestivo, dove tradizione, eleganza e tranquillità si fondono perfettamente.
Le camere sono curate nei minimi dettagli, pulite e accoglienti, capaci di far sentire gli ospiti subito a casa. Gli spazi esterni sono splendidi e permettono di rilassarsi completamente, circondati dalla bellezza della natura e dal fascino tipico della Puglia.
Un ringraziamento speciale va allo staff, sempre disponibile, professionale e attento a ogni esigenza, contribuendo a rendere il soggiorno ancora più piacevole. Ottima anche la colazione, con prodotti genuini e di qualità che valorizzano il territorio.
Masseria Canonica è il luogo ideale per chi desidera staccare dalla routine, rigenerarsi e vivere un'esperienza autentica in un'atmosfera unica. Un weekend indimenticabile che ci ha lasciato il desiderio di tornare al più presto.
