Overall Ratings & Reviews Masseria & Spa Luciagiovanni

This place must have been nice 20 years ago, but now is a run down RIAD wanna be, with very old rooms, terrible beds and a horrendous old wood smell in every room (we checked 3 before giving up) The bathrooms smell too, and there is very poor lighting inside the very dark painted rooms. This place looked like a great solution because it’s close to Lecce but not in, and the pictures looked very nice, but please do yourself a favor and stay away from it. The staff was nice enough

Love the pool

The rooms are dark and dreary. The bathrooms have very little light. Good luck taking a shower. The lounge beds by the pool are uncomfortable and waterlogged. The staff were reasonably pleasant. We left early and went to a good hotel!

The team at the hotel were all very friendly and looked after us so well!

Amazing and attentive staff. Wonderful food! Rooms were immaculate.

This was my second time staying at the masseria in two months. I stayed here in July with a friend and returned in September with my mother. In both stays, the staff at this family run hotel was extremely warm and helpful. All of our requests were accommodated. For example, when i needed to use my work computer and could not do to security settings on my laptop, the staff logged me onto the staff wifi rather than the unsecured guest wifi (this is something other hotels refuse to do). The property is beautiful, especially the pool, which is enormous and easy to enter (sloping ground rather than stairs) - important if you’re traveling with older family members. The parking is free and easy - which makes day trips to nearby towns like Gallipoli, Otranto or the beach areas very easy. In the morning there is a generous breakfast buffet with plenty of salty and sweet, healthy or indulgent options. I believe all the rooms have private patio facing the garden or at least garden access - at least the four rooms I saw on my two visits. There is also a nice courtyard where they light a fire pit in September (not in July because it’s too hot). Overall the property has many cozy areas to sit and read a book or do some work on your laptop.

Thanks to the staff for a lovely week away

A lovely hotel just 10 minutes drive to Lecce. Out side of the hotel was not that nice but the hotel was a Little Oasis, The bedroom as on the small side with the highest bed I’ll ever had to get into. The staff were very nice and helpful. I would recommend this hotel.

My friend and I spent 4 nights at Masseria Luciagiovanni. We each had garden rooms - mine had a large private covered patio with a daybed and sofa for relaxing outdoors. My friend’s room did not have private outdoor space but he had a larger interior - with a king sized bed. We both loved the swimming pool and the friendly staff. Although the hotel is on the edge of town it’s very convenient for parking and driving to the beaches. I would definitely come back.

Had a great stay. The pool area is amazing, you feel like you are in a luxury hotel. Breakfasts were great, lots of choice and gorgeous fresh juices (often the juice in Italian hotels taste like squash!). Had a couple of meals which were just okay but could of been bad choices on my part. My only complaint was the small bedroom which because of the Moroccan vibe was very dark with heavy furniture. However there was a gorgeous garden outside with your own private daybed and sofa. Lots of nice touches too including dressing gowns, slippers and quality toiletries. Overall really recommend. You do definitely need a car as the immediate surrounding area wasn’t the best - a bit of a waste ground. However once passed the gates you were in a Moroccan oasis.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Lovely hotel with relaxing Moroccan feel.

Nice hotel and spa. The pool area is amazing with the sun beds and the pool is nice. Spa is very good and the rooms are designed to make u think u are in Morroco. In general everything was very good. Especially the food. The aperitifs of two non alcoholic cocktails with Olives was a bit dear and bathroom door kept sticking apart from that very good

We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the hotel. Good location. After five days we did get a bit tired of the hotel menu but the pool and gardens were really relaxing and the staff very helpful.

This hotel is amazing and I look forward to coming back.

What a find ! A beautiful Moroccan style hotel just outside Lecce which is a beautiful medieval town. The staff were incredible, from Frederica and Marissa who run the place through to Gino, Mohammed and Mustafa Who run the restaurant and bar and who made us feel so at home. The food was great, the service impeccable, the swimming pool area just delightful and so comfortable, and at night after dinner we'd sit around the fire pit drinking coffee and smoking Shisha. We stayed 5 nights and really didn't want to leave. Lots of lovely places to visit in the vicinity, but always so welcoming when we got back ! I can't recommend this place enough. We will return !!

Very nice and cute masseria. Felt like being in Marrakesh while being in Puglia. The front desk was very helpful and smiling all the time despite numerous questions about the area and activities around. The rooms were clean and tidy and spacious. Wonderful stay. Federica and Mohamed were extremely kind and helpful. Definitely to try!

Nice staff, dirty floors in the rooms, Hotel decor is very tired. The pool was fabulous though

We stayed for a week in early September, as part of my honeymoon. We had a wonderful stay, using the hotel/spa as a base to explore the local area. We were slightly unlucky with the weather, which meant we couldn't get quite as much use out of some of the facilities as we'd hoped (the outdoor pool is rather lovely), but this didn't detract from a wonderful stay. The staff are amazingly helpful, almost too much so at times... We couldn't fault their attentiveness one bit. We stayed in one of the suites, which was nice and big; the sitting room was almost too big, as it meant you were miles away from a modest-sized TV if you ever wanted to watch it. The rooms were also a little dark - our suite had 3 windows, which meant we had some natural light, but it was still quite dark for (e.g.) shaving. We heard from other guests that some of the 'standard' rooms have no windows at all. This is in keeping with the Morrocan vibe of the hotel, but having no poweful lights is a bit of an oversight. The hotel fixtures/fittings could also do with an upgrade. The major let-down is the spa itself. I had a massage there, which was excellent... however the general spa facilities are not all that great. The steam room is good, but the sauna doesn't get very hot and the pool is both small and rather cold. The whole thing lacks the luxury it is striving for. When we were there, the rain was also coming through some of the joints in the ceiling, showing up some poor workmanship.

A Moroccan themed hotel, lovely staff. Wonderful large swimming pool. Peaceful setting.

Staff great, breakfast average, rooms dark, maintenance of some areas poor, such as broken floor in pool, crumbling concrete, taped electrics. Jacuzzi by pool not working. But lots to like. Beautiful pool and sitting areas. very peaceful.
