WOW, where do I start! This is the place were you come as a guest and leave as a family!!! Emilio, Giulia, Roberto (the big heart of the place) and of course Monica and Paola are all the warmest and nicest people we have ever met! A BIG THANK YOU for such a wonderful stay - you define the meaning of southern hospitality! We were all crying when were leaving!!! The entire stay was just magical! Breakfasts were very tasty, prepared that morning fresh and with the produce from the land around the masseria. Thank you to Monica and Paola for preparing it fresh and very tasty! The masseria itself and the grounds around it are very beautiful, starting with the authentic decor, the tall star ceilings and the peaceful lush and green surroundings. Giulia has done an amazing job with the decor, sprinkling throughout traditional design elements and mixing-in the amazing art pieces hand painted by her brother, who is a famous art painter. Make sure to browse through the catalog of his paintings in the kitchen/dining area. It will not be fair if I did not mention Roberto - you are the warmest, friendliest and funniest of all - you are the reason that makes Masseria Verbena so special! As much as we were there for sightseeing we reserved the first day to just walk the grounds around the property and enjoy the olive trees, the beautiful and fragrant flowers. Thank you, Emilio, for showing us around! We had a dinner at the masseria and it was one of the best dinners we had over the entire trip! Monica also taught us how to make the famous Puglia "orecchiette", which turned out to be very tasty! Location is very convenient - close to Monopoli with easy access to HW and roads to other towns and cities. Make sure to check Panificio L'Assunta in the area for some very good take out food! It's 5 min. drive away and very convenient. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and can't wait to be back!

Leaving!!!

Nous avons avons tout aimé. L’authenticité du lieu et des propriétaires qui nous ont accueilli comme si nous étions de la famille venue pour les vacances. Le plus dur est de repartir. L’emplacement est idéal pour visiter la vallée d’Itria. Le petit déjeuner est copieux, local et délicieux. La masseria est décorée avec goût et élégance. La piscine est un havre de bonheur

The family were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. The facilities were lovely, and the peaceful pool area was the perfect place to relax. A truly tranquil stay with wonderful hospitality – we can't wait to come back!

If you are not Italian and want to experience warm and authentic Italian hospitality, I highly recommend Masseria Verbena Suites. The breakfast was without doubt the best we had during our entire trip to Italy. We also loved the large swimming pool, where we could enjoy a swim even before breakfast. The wonderful family who runs this place made our stay truly special. They welcomed us so warmly and helped us experience real Italian life. They gave us excellent recommendations for nearby beaches and even called to reserve the best sunbeds for us. The beaches nearby are beautiful, and this was the place where we could finally slow down, relax and truly enjoy our holiday. It is the kind of experience you will tell your friends about afterwards.
