Matteo, the operator welcomed us very kindly and made our stay very pleasant with his sympathetic manner.

We had a wonderful experience. The air conditioning in the room was very comfortable. The place was beautiful, as well as the pool, and the breakfast was superb. Also, Matteo was always available to meet every request. Although we liked it very much, next time we will come back in June instead of July, in order to find fewer people.

stayed from 07/12/2023 to 07/16/2023

B&B highly recommended. The owner Matteo is kind and friendly, good at giving advice on places to visit. The breakfast is excellent with homemade jams and sweets, very good honey.

Estate is nothing short of exceptional, with a relaxation area with barbecue always available, with a pool suitable for children at the top. A place to spend moments of total relaxation with the family. Very good breakfast with homemade cakes. Matteo the owner always available and very friendly. Figaro, the cat friend of my daughter's games will always remain in her heart. Rating 10.

We stayed at this masseria for ten days, and I must say, we have never rested so much. We were guests in Matteo's house, the owner and his extended family, because Mussa and Barbara, who help him in managing Tenuta Calitre, are really part of a big family, kind and attentive, always ready to give a smile and exchange a few words. Matteo is a host always present but never intrusive, he takes care of the estate in every aspect, every day he had precious suggestions for us in organizing our days around Salento. An important mention is the breakfast, prepared daily by Matteo's mother. We returned from the holiday with the recipe for the tarts because they are delicious! The room was well-kept and very clean, the pool fantastic, the perfect size to refresh in particularly hot days. The location overall is really beautiful, the photos don't do it justice, it was a very pleasant surprise. At Tenuta Calitre, you breathe an air of peace and serenity, many of the customers have become regulars and only by staying here for a few nights you will understand why, even my wife and I will return soon to visit Matteo and his Family. See you soon Matte, say hi to everyone!

We stayed at Tenuta Calitre for two nights... What can I say... Beautiful place, well-kept, very clean pool, large, clean, well-equipped room. Very abundant breakfast, with homemade cakes and jams with a special taste. Matteo, the manager, really a kind and helpful guy. He recommended us several places to visit and where to go to the sea, and he also left us some delicious Apulian delicacies to taste during the trip. In short, a really pleasant stay... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The B&B is surrounded by olive trees and this alone gives tranquility. The pool is a little gem. The rooms are well taken care of in every detail and clean. Matteo is an excellent host: besides kindness and availability, he provides great advice on places to visit and little spots to enjoy good food. Delicious breakfast where you can taste exquisite cakes baked every day by Matteo's mom.

matteo

I stayed at this property for holiday, to say the least excellent. The host Matteo was an exquisite person, very attentive and impeccable. Cleaning 10 out of 10, service 10 and praise, you feel at home. Matteo always present but never intrusive, even if you don't see him he's there ready to meet the needs and requests of guests, also giving advice on where to go or what to do. I will definitely come back. Highly recommended.

roberto

Beautiful place, the managers, Matteo and father Vincenzo, very friendly and always available. The property is strategically located, close or within a few tens of minutes, from all the best places and beaches on the Adriatic side and if desired, an hour from the ironic locations. I highly recommend it.

B&B chosen at random, never been so lucky. Wonderful, immersed in an olive grove, a unique peace and tranquility. 9 wonderful rooms with impeccable cleanliness. Matteo the owner with dad Vincenzo and mom Annamaria are wonderful people with a unique availability that also encourages socialization among guests. We spent 9 splendid days! Let's not forget Maya, Matteo's beautiful and sweet labrador. Oh, I brought my little dog Kira who was welcomed with great affection. I will definitely go back and above all I recommend it to those who want to spend beautiful and peaceful holidays.

Excellent value for money, extraordinary welcome, attention to detail both indoors and outdoors. We stayed with our dog, who was lovingly welcomed. Quiet location, in a lush countryside estate a stone's throw from the sea and cities.

My family and I were guests at Tenuta Calitre from August 21, 2017, to August 31, 2017. It was our third time in Salento, but the first as guests of Matteo and his family. I can say that it was the best accommodation we have stayed at. The rating I gave may seem high, but to understand it, I recommend you to go there and you will understand why. Thanks again for everything, Matteo. I really hope to come back to you next year.

Very beautiful structure, immersed in olive trees. Convenient location for both the sea and visiting the cities of Otranto and Lecce. Strength: the managers. Excellent people, discreet and very helpful. I would go back immediately!

We experienced beautiful days in this simple and welcoming property. The support of the managers was important for organizing visits in the nearby and far away territory. To recommend to everyone.

Beautiful property with all the comforts immersed in a beautiful garden with olive trees. Welcoming and well-kept environment. The strong point is the owner Vincenzo, very knowledgeable about the area, extremely communicative and sociable. He explained what to do and where to go with great competence and honesty. Worth mentioning are Annamaria's cakes. The family surprised all the guests by organizing a garden buffet with typical homemade dishes for a truly enjoyable evening.

We could not choose a better structure. The owner Matteo, along with his family, is super kind and available. It feels like being at home. We will definitely return. We recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a quiet place located in a strategic point.
