Agriturismo Masseria Madonna dell'Arco

Delicious meals! The staff was so kind! Amazing experience ! Grazie!

No luxury, no waiters waiting next to your table to fill your empty cup, but if you guys are looking for this visiting the Masseria Madonna dell’Arco, you better go back home and look for a stupid cruise or typical crowded resort. Masseria means big farm and anything related. Beautiful and genuine welcoming people will wait for you, do not expect a large hall and front desk welcoming you, the Trulli rooms are a real Trulli built the way they were done 200 years ago, rooms are clean and simple. The atmosphere is great and super relaxing, you will need to enter in symbiosis with the environment were hundreds of farm animals and machinery are right behind your room. Cattle, hans, sheep, pigs, wild hogs, goats, peacocks, ostriches and many more. The land around is just a paradise, olive trees are hundreds years old literally, they made their own meat, vegetables, dairy products, salami, soppressata and many other unbelievable excellent and fresh farm products. They made their own bread and home made pasta the way our grand grand mom use to, all of this is cooked and prepared homestyle and served in their restaurant. Could continue to tell good things until tomorrow writing good things about them, but now I’ll need to go, please do not forget to visit the surrounding cities, Martina Franca and Locorotondo and other super nice small historical places are a few minutes away and forget about the stress, park you rental car just outside the old cities and walk in those amazing beautiful rock build villages, anywhere you guys will turn your head is rich of history from the ninth century, food is great, people amazing simple and welcoming, No Stress here in Puglia. I’ll need to stop dreaming otherwise I’ll go back NOW!!! It’s only 6000 miles away from me, damn!

The ambiance was good but everyone's food was here but mine and the waiter wasn't helpful at all and when the food came it wasn't even good, my beef steak was served in a very small plate and it looked like they just threw it in the plate. I had to sit alone because everyone had finished their food. It was a very bad experience. I am never coming here again.

We stopped here to taste cheeses. It turned out to be a nice lunch of local prodicts. It was great. Just made mozarella, ricotta and burrata, vegetables and sausages and not only. Would be glad to come again

We cannot understand the good evaluations of the accommodation. The staff is distant and unwelcoming. English is neither spoken nor understood. Check-in was very confusing as there is no proper reception. Furthermore, there was no information about the Masseria or its surroundings - not even as a brochure. The area and the pool were not shown to us - we had to search for them ourselves. Moreover, the pool seemed to be closed despite good weather. The breakfast is very spartan even by southern Italian standards. There are old bread leftovers and cakes from the day before. No fruit, no yoghurt, no egg products - NOTHING fresh. Very sad. The coffee is the only good thing. The Masseria is first and foremost a farm and so it smells (which is alright, though, since known at booking). The place would be much nicer, if the staff would show even rudimentary hospitality - as it is normally standard in Italy. One had the impression that one was not welcome. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this accommodation for these reasons. We won't come back.

We arrived group of 6. Marco was our guid he axplaind us about the erea, the farm, the enimals, and then we want inside to see how they make burata cheese. After the tour, we tasted cheese & meet that was accompanied with wine. Highly recomended

Absolutely delicious. Can't recommend this place enough. Small, cozy, authentic. And has a cute play area great for the small ones to run around while you wait for your meal. Plus many authentic products homemade by the masseria like their olives, meats and especially cheeses.

Very cool tour of the farm and demo of cheese making. The guide was good and spoke English well. Nice cheese tasting after, too.
