We live in Bari and decided to ride our bikes from the San Pietro train station about 5 miles from the hotel. Super easy ride to the hotel, they let us check in early so we could use the pool. It was 95 degrees. Room was older but we were happy with it. Nice fridge to keep our beverages and food cold. We had the comfort room and it was spacious enough for our bikes, which the staff said was ok to put in our rooms.
Pool area was amazing. Great bar where we could get drinks that were fairly priced.
We had lunch at don carmelo and we thought it was great and fairly priced as well.
Overall we had a great stay and the staff were helpful.

Unusual hotel that would have been amazing back in the day but now needs a lot of TLC
however the rooms were clean but furniture a bit tatty.
I would not consider it a 4 star hotel
It would benefit from tea making facilities in the room and abolishing the single use shower gel which are so not good for the environment.
It would also be nice to have a bench or table outside the room as the bar/ cafe area is not v inviting.
The pool was lovely and we often had it to ourselves but needed a bit of a clean round the edges
We ate in the restaurant once, the pasta was good but my spaghetti was dry and hard. This was disappointing considering it was our most expensive meal.
There are however lovely local family run restaurants in the local towns only a few minutes drive away
Breakfast was simple but nice.
We did not have time to use the spa
We enjoyed our stay despite the above but it is a bit quirky and certainly needs a lot of updating.

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!

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.

Det är ett mycket speciellt hotell som känns i behov av uppfräschning. Rummet var ok men parken och de allmänna områdena är dåligt underhållna. Det fanns fullt med magra, misskötta katter på hela området.
Restaurangen var jättebra och frukosten var bra och riklig.
Vi gick en promenad med guide och det var det bästa med vistelsen. Man fick se Al Banos kyrka, privata skog med hästar samt vinkällaren.

Bellissime tenute immerse nel verde dell’alto salento. Lo staff eccezionale, gentile e sempre disponibile. Camera molto spaziosa e letto comodo, forse unico consiglio che darei e’ quello di organizzare meglio la doccia, non sarebbe male togliere la tendina e mettere qualcosa di più consono.
La colazione era molto abbondante e Il ristorante Don Carmelo ottimo! Piscina ampia e ben organizzata.
Durante la colazione Albano e’ passato a salutare tutti gli ospiti, si e’ fermato, ha chiacchierato e ha fatto le foto con molta gentilezza ed estrema dispobilita’.

¡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.

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.
