Booked one night but ended up staying 2!! Loved it

It was absolutely amazing!!! From the moment we arrived until the warm hugs from the staff when we left!! The property is full of character and has fantastic accommodations, food, wine of course and service that beats out some 5 Star hotels. Special shout out to Chiara, Antonella and Vito who were extra special and deserve to be named for how well they treated us. Thank you for making this a memorable trip! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Felicita for sure!

Unique

Unique experience. A little Puglian village created by Italian pop star Al Bano. You stay in recently crafted but traditionally styled little houses with all mod cons. Surroundings have amazing pool, restaurant, church and gardens all built from scratch by will of Al Bano

Disappointed with lack of facilities

Hotel is situated in the middle of the countryside quite a distance to travel cities and towns around the area. Reception is supposed to be multi lingual but hardly spoke any English. Room very spacious but no information guide in the room on facilities available at the hotel, how to work TV air con etc.WiFi on available in reception and is very slow. Pool area was very nice with large pool but no mattresses on the plastic sun beds and no umbrellas for shade. Italian restaurant on site was okay but nothing to do after your meal as there was no bar. Hardly any restaurants in the local town so you need to drive to Brindisi or Lecce for choices to eat.

Wonderful Place

If you want a place to relax and don't need to go in town to eat this is the place. Clean peaceful beautiful view. The breakfast was buffet style and deliscious. The restaurant had exquisite food and wonderful service. Will definitely go back. Albano was friendly as always and hands on his place. Loved it!!!!

The Italian Portmerion

This is the Italian Portmerion

We have just reurned from a great week at this quiet tucked away little gem of a place. if you want bright lights busy nights and a bustling lively holiday experience then go to the coast. If you want something that little differant and dare I say a little quirky that has that little air of quiet oppulance, with a slightly reserved exteria, then this is a must. value for money this has it all, yes you need a car but what a place to base from. In the middle of forests of olive groves and its own Winery to boot. 3 Kilometres to nearset Village but with its own pool spa and resteraunt you could stay on site. The staff could not have done more and were very friendly. if you are lucky the owner may even pay a visit and in Italy he is a very big star and everyone knows him. We would have no trouble going back here again for another relaxing week of driving around southern Italy swimming in the Adriatic and returning to this little oasis of calm.

Let people know if the facilities are closed

Hotel was nice, although there were lots of day trippers on the complex. I primarily booked this for the pool for the kids on the last day of the holiday. Really disappointing to be told, once booked in, that the pool was closed. Even more frustrating as you could see it through a locked gate and there was no apparent reason why it was closed. Without the pool the stay was a little boring.

A Dream came true

A year ago, my 82 yrs-old mother, shared her desire to go and meet Al Bano.
Sooooo, a year after we were on the case. My mother, her punk granddaughter and I took a flight from Pisa to Brindesi. We stayed at the Tenute for 3 days. It was an amazing experience above all with a super-fan. Everybody was very helpful and friendly with us. They spent time to talk to my mum and in the end..... she got what she wanted.... Al Bano came to meet her at his restaurant in the resort. Fantastic. it was very emotional.
All this story to say that I highly recommend this place for different reasons but above all for the care towards their costumers: they pamper them. Amazing costumer service. The resort is one kind of its sort. it s peaceful and charming. the wine is excellent.
Thank you for making my mum's dream true.

¡Tenute Al Bano jamás defrauda! Cada vez que lo visitamos es mucho mejor. Un lugar ideal para relajarte en el corazón del Salento y sentirte como en casa. Nos trataron maravillosamente. El personal es excelente. Gracias a Mariana, Veronica, Gianni, Vito, Dino y Roberto (que nos salvó cuando se nos quedó la llave de la habitación dentro). Ahora, lo más maravilloso fue Al Bano, que lo vimos dos veces y es tan cercano, respetuoso e interesado por sus fans que sientes que estas hablando con un amigo de toda la vida. Sin duda volveremos a este increíble hotel a relajarnos y a comer de maravilla en el restaurante Don Carmelo. Gracias Al Bano, con cariño tus fans de Santander, España.

Unter unserer Erwartung.

Extrem abgelegen. Sehr karge Umgebung (landschaftlich). Unterkunft eigentlich zu teuer für den angebotenen Standard. Zu wenig Gastronomie auf dem Anwesen (lediglich ein Restaurant mit relativ hohen Preisen und geringem Speisenangebot nur abends). Zudem zu späte Öffnungszeit ab 20.15 Uhr.

Que lugar más fantastico. El hotel es precioso; todo muy cuidado, bonito y limpio. Resalta el personal tan profesional que tienen. Te hacen sentir como una princesa. Antonella, Guisy y Marianna fueron muy atentas en la recepción. Veronica y Chiara en la enoteca, siempre al pendiente y muy serviciales. El restaurante Don Carmelo es increíble. Se come de maravilla. Vito, Francesca y Dominique son fabulosos, super atentos y hacen lo imposible para que tu expiriencia sea inolvidable. Gracias a todos por tan gran experiencia. Lo mejor del hotel, Al Bano. Tuvimos la suerte de conocerle. Es humilde, atento, simpatico y cercano. Una excelente persona
Grazie mille Al Bano, suerte, suerte y suerte de tus seguidoras de Santander, España.

Frühstücksraum war sehr klein, Wartezeiten bis wieder Plätze frei wurden! Im Freien essen war leider keine Option… man wurde wahrscheinlich Jahreszeitbedingt, von Wespen attackiert!
Restaurant öffnet am Abend erst um 20.00 Uhr!
Leider gibts am Pool tagsüber keine Snacks oder kleine Mahlzeiten!

Fullkommen opplevelse.

Oppholdet var svært vellykket og det hele toppet seg når vi møtte Al Bano i egen person. Han er tydeligvis en svært hyggelig person som brukte god tid på å snakke med oss.
Totalt var dette et godt opphold både når det gjelder mat, service og boforhold. Anbefales.

Un fine settimana Bellissimo

Un bellissimo posto, una camera splendida. Solo qualche piccolo neo, il bagno era un po' piccolo in confronto con la spaziosità della camera, la tenda doccia non tratteneva l'acqua e si bagnava il pavimento esterno del bagno, mancava il bidet e qualche mensolina in più.
Non ho potuto provare la SPA ma ritengo sia una scusa per ritornarci.
Il ristorante Don Carmelo cibo squisito e buona pizza. Vino ottimo ma forse un po' caro. Rapporto qualità prezzo buono. Personale cordiale e preparato sia al ristorante che in albergo.

Een heerlijk resort

We verbleven met ons gezin in dit resort en we hebben het als bijzonder leuk ervaren. Onze suite was bijzonder mooi en schoon, het zwembad was echt geweldig er waren genoeg bedjes en het zag er heel verzorgd uit. Het ontbijt was bij het zwembad wat heel sfeervol was, het ontbijt was goed verzorgd heerlijke croissants en lekkere cappuccino.Het resort zag er mooi en verzorgd uit Al Bano was zelf regelmatige aanwezig.De locatie was centraal, Lecce en Brindisi waren niet ver van het resort vandaan. Al met al een heerlijke vakantie gehad en zou hier zeker weer naar toe gaan.

Individuell und gastfreundlich

Wir waren zu viert für acht Tage dort und haben jeden Tag genossen.
Die Anlage liegt inmitten von Olivenhainen eingebettet.Man hat das Gefühl,in einer anderen Welt zu sein.
Der Empfang war sehr herzlich!Alle Mitarbeiter dort-Rezeption,Pool,Restaurant-waren sehr höflich und freundlich!
Der Pool und die komplette Anlage sind traumhaft;man kann abends alleine vor dem Zimmer ein Glas Wein trinken und hört die Grillen zirpen.
An einigen Tagen gab es italienische live Musik im Restaurant.
Zum Meer muß man schon eine halbe Stunde fahren.Was ich aber nicht störend empfand.Es gibt in Porto Cesareo sehr schöne beach Clubs oder auch abends zum Bummeln oder essen gehen kann man dorthin,wenn man will.
So hat man die Ruhe und Individualität der wunderschönen Anlage und wenn man will,kann man mit dem Auto schnell andere Ziele besichtigen.
Ich würde das Hotel uneingeschränkt empfehlen und auch gerne wieder buchen!
