Tenuta Negroamaro

If you're looking for a beautiful, quiet place to relax and distress- this is it. It's located on a small olive Grove with 10 lovely suites some with private pools and the communal pool area, restaurant and spa facilities are lovely. Also, a lot of the food is grown on the land.

Could have had better pillows

We loved everything about our stay here and it was hard to leave. We had a standard room which was a bit on the more compact side but the room also comes with a ginormous private terrace with a L shape couch, swing, and an outdoor shower, which more than makes up for it! The pool area is gorgeous. Iris serves the best cocktails and her Italicus Spritz is delicious. The breakfasts were delicious. We also used the outdoor workout area and my husband loved the sauna and cold plunge. Beautiful boutique wellness hotel. We would love to go back!

This boutique hotel surprised us pleasantly on many levels. The staff go out of their way to assist ... including those at the bar and restaurant. The grounds are spacious and the hotel is small. The facilities include an outdoor gym and yoga space, but these are rustic, as is the outdoor spa. The pool area and bar are lovely, but we were there during a 37-degree heatwave. Dinners and breakfasts were superb - bravo! The hotel is 15 minutes away from Gallipoli and more from surrounding attractions but you need to drive in Puglia and we didn't find that its location was a hindrance.

The Booking.Com and hotel website both present the 10 room options poorly. In reality, there seems to be one (small) trullis style room, 8 'garden' rooms (similar sizes? some with bench swings some with private pools which seem silly given the expanse of the main pool) and one separate room set in the grounds near to the exercise deck. Our garden-room-with-swing was well equipped but a little on the small side. The shower is semi open and (like most hotel showers) leaked horribly onto the bathroom floor. At least there were two basins, although not much space on the vanity. The bigger issue was the lack of cupboard space, hanging space, drawers and desktop space for travellers with lots of things, including laptops, iPads, hair dryers, hats, sunglasses etc, as well as luggage. That's my only gripe, but don't let that stop you staying there - we loved it.
