The answer from the host:
Grazie Ralf per la vostra compagnia e la bella recensione. Siamo in una antica masseria del 1700 che abbiamo cercato di ristrutturare mantenendone il fascino naturale ed essendo equidistanti e a pochi km da Lecce, da Otranto, da Gallipoli, da Castro e da Leuca siamo in una posizione ideale per visitare tutto il Salento. Grazie ancora e alla.prossima

We were guests of Tommaso and Renata (and the cat Spillo) at Masseria dei 12 Granai for 7 nights, a place where the hectic city time stops to make room for the rhythms and colors of nature. The Masseria is simply stunning, tastefully curated down to the smallest details. Beautiful the opportunity to visit the snowhouse and the granaries, carved directly into the rock. \n\nThe rooms, cleaned daily, are bright and spacious, with a small private garden space. The buffet breakfast includes sweet and savory dishes, with delicious pasticciotti and cakes made by Renata herself, the carrot cake is a must.\n\nThe location is strategically located in Salento, the first beaches are only a 15-minute drive away. The added value, however, comes from the presence of Tommaso and Renata. They are passionate hosts, who, knowing the territory very well, can offer excellent advice. We will definitely return.

We stayed for 4 days. Very comfortable structure, typical 1700s farmhouse that the owners have managed to keep the charm of the era. The owners are very nice, hospitable, kind, and extremely helpful. Absolutely recommend to our friends, and not only.

Carissimi grazie per i vostri commenti. Come sapete siamo innamorati della nostra masseria e degli sforzi fatti per non violentarne l' antico fascino. È stato un grande piacere avervi con noi e speriamo di rincontrarci prossimamente Tommaso e Renata

We had a great time! Tommaso and Renata are fantastic hosts and the Masseria dei 12 Granai is an authentic place full of history, peace, and relaxation! The Masseria is in a great location to visit the various villages of Salento: 10 minutes from Otranto and 30 from Lecce and Gallipoli. I recommend everyone to spend a few days in this facility if you want to stay away from the city chaos but at the same time be close to the main points of interest! Until next time and thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The answer from the host:
Grazie cari, è stato un vero piacere conoscervi anche se per un periodo (3 gg) troppo breve. Il nostro lavoro diventa più facile e più piacevole quando abbiamo ospiti disponibili e sorridenti come voi. Speriamo vi sia piaciuto il Salento e vogliate tornarci. Alla prossima, Tommaso e Renata.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Maria Chiara e grazie a tutti voi. La. vostra simpatica compagnia, la vostra competenza ed entusiasmo ci mancano. Sentirsi come a casa, in un contesto così particolare come. la nostra Masseria, è sempre stato un nostro obiettivo. Speriamo. di reincontrarvi presto. Tommaso e Renata.

martina

Very beautiful and clean location. In a great position to visit all the beautiful places of Salento. The hosts are very helpful and kind. We will definitely recommend Masseria dei 12 Granai to our friends and we will gladly return.

stayed from 08/09/2021 to 08/15/2021

The answer from the host:
Carissimi grazie per i vostri positivi commenti. Siamo lieti di avervi dato un angolo di tranquillità e ristoro anche nella settimana più complicata dell'estate. Un abbraccio anche al piccolo Christian Tommaso e Renata.

domenico

The family atmosphere that the managing couple Renata and Tommaso know how to convey to the guests immediately makes the stay pleasant. The location is strategic for every excursion in Salento, guaranteeing tranquility and silence upon return in the evening, allowing you to reprocess the intense landscape and cultural emotions offered by this corner of Puglia. Breakfast, always taken care of by the interactive presence of the managers, becomes a community moment to share the itineraries that each group intends to tackle during the day. At a reasonable price in a completely renovated structure with necessary services. A farmhouse that we recommend to everyone also to discover and visit the 12 granaries!

The answer from the host:
Carissimi, grazie per la vostra recensione. Siete stati una splendida e indimenticabile compagnia, anche per la serata di festeggiamenti per l'Italia da voi incoraggiata. A presto Tommaso e Renata.

leonardo

We had a good time. The owners are friendly and the property is a beautiful restoration of a historic building. However, the use of a car is essential as there is little nearby and the nearest sea is at least 15 minutes away.

stayed from 07/05/2021 to 07/11/2021

The answer from the host:
Grazie per i vostri commenti positivi. La ristrutturazione di questa Masseria aveva in effetti lo scopo di far assaporare a chi viene da altri territori il fascino e la storia di questo bellissimo lembo di Sud. Tommaso e Renata.

Very beautiful and well-kept structure. Tommaso and Renata are very kind and helpful, everything is very clean and welcoming. Fairly strategic location for exploring the surroundings. Car needed. To recommend or return.

stayed from 08/14/2019 to 08/24/2019

The answer from the host:
Grazie Carla, a te e a tutto il gruppo. Certo il periodo di agosto non è ideale per godersi le magnifiche spiagge e i costoni e faraglioni dei nostri mari, ma avevate lo spirito giusto per trovare comunque i posti belli. La vostra compagnia è stata un piacere e anche il sottofondo di chitarra ci mancherà. Al prossimo barbecue Tommaso e Renata.

fabio

We stayed only two nights but it deserved a longer stay, also considering the location that allows you to easily reach many places in Salento. Tommaso and Renata are two exquisite people and Tommaso gave us very useful indications of beautiful, uncrowded places to visit. Highly recommended.

The answer from the host:
Caro Laurens, grazie per la bella recensione e per la vostra compagnia. Noi conosciamo molto bene il territorio ed è un piacere dare suggerimenti personalizzati sui posti più belli da visitare, le spiagge e i ristoranti. È sempre un piacere avere come ospiti delle persone curiose e piacevoli come voi. Alla prossima
