Stay at

Beautiful place, attentive staff. The location is a bit remote but does have a nice restaurant, breakfast and another restaurant next door for dining options. However the room should offer some basic amenities such as water and an iron.

Superb and amazing stay.

A superb stay, beautifully converted Masseria, lovely room with a comfortable bed. Large terrace and superb pool and garden. Secure parking. The staff made it though - so helpful and welcoming -they just could not do enough to assist. A rare find these days. Extra bonus was a great restaurant next door ( separate owner) that offered local food and wines at great prices - we had 2 great meals there. Lovely beaches in 15-30 mins drive depending what you want. Cannot recommend enough!, we hope to be back.

Amazingly beautiful and historic. We were stunned by the renovation story, the buildings, the frescos, and the peaceful ambiance. Simply lovely.

10/10 Exceptional

Masseria Francescani is an unbelievably quiet, tranquil and relaxing place to stay. It felt like we were the only guests at time enjoying our own Masseria with their wonderful staff. The food options are limited but there’s much to explore in Lecce only a few miles away. Recommend renting a car. Great place for a short break.

I was not too surr what to expect at this propery from the photos but i tell you this place is amazing with such great vibes, quiet and peaceful. We stayed the the presidential and despite the somewhat challenging stairs, it was far worth the climb. This room was bright, happy, extremely spacious with blackout blinds, balcony and much appreciated ammenities. The breakfast…no words for this very tasty and generous breakfast with perfect presentation and service. Truly a great property…I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Masseria time!

Just to let you know we enjoyed our stay at Masseria Francescani. Today we did the cheese lab and farm tour at Masseria Cinque Santi. FANTASTIC!! Not only an immersive experience in the country side of Puglia, very illustrative and rich! Antonio our guide explained everything in perfect English and took time for questions while we made cheese and understood the process, Lidia the owner was very friendly also Recommended 110%!

Fantastiskt!

Fantastiskt ställe! Så häftigt att bo på ett ställe vars äldsta delar härstammar från 1500-talet. Möjligen kan restaurangen kännas lite öde, men restaurangen precis bredvid är mysig och hemtrevlig.

Eu amei cada segundo que fiquei hospedada na Masseria Francescani. O lugar é lindo, o quarto é muito confortavel, café da manha incrivel e todos que trabalham lá são muito educados. Voltaria com certeza. na verdade, já tenho vontade de voltar. <3

Eine Oase der Ruhe nahe Lecce

Eine wunderschöne Anlage mit tollem Ambiente, einem Pool und bezaubernden Gastgebern. Grosszügig bemessene Zimmer, bewachter Parking. Sehr gutes Frühstück, faires Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Unweit von Lecce und nahe des Strandes. Wir haben die Ruhe sehr genossen und wären gerne noch länger geblieben. Klein aber sehr fein!
