Relais Masseria Le Cesine - CDSHotels

Beautiful modern setting, clean comfortable rooms, nice food, friendly staff

Room was nice, but little variety on food and drink and staff were relatively unfriendly. Wouldn't go again.

First class hotel with exceptional entertainment and food.

Unfortunately we went slightly out of season, great looking resort, very remote, super friendly staff, but pool so cold, could not use.

This is possibly one of the nicest places we have stayed. It has the best disabled access I have seen in many hotels, every area including the pool has wheelchair access. The staff are extremely helpful. We arrived late after a delayed flight and found the staff had plated up a cold buffet meal for us in our room so we had a meal, extremely thoughtful. Would highly recommend this hotel, excellent customer service. Will visit again. Lastly, this hotel is one of a chain of CDS hotels, if all of them give this type of service they will all be worth a visit.

We stayed here for one week and really enjoyed our stay. Since the resort is massive you never feel like you are surrounded by people which is quite common in other resorts. The property is one of the most beautiful one's as it respects the local architecture while being modern as well. The whole place is divided into two main sections one is the main hotel area and the other is the masseria. We stayed in the Masseria. It was like a little piece of heaven, you have to walk a bit more to get there and cross an olive tree field, there is a smaller private pool and the rooms are converted from the Masseria. I don't think I have ever been in a hotel with such high ceilings, the air conditioning worked very well, the rooms were renovated (or maybe actually new!) and spotless, the daily cleaning was effective and perfect. One of the strong point of this hotel was definitely the food as every single meal was different and special. staying at the Masseria also meant we had a private dining room in the main restaurant as well as a private Buffet. We also had breakfast in the Masseria. The staff at the buffet all wore protective masksand served us the food directly rather than allowing every guest to touch the buffet which was a great covid-19 measure. The animation safff also wore masks at all times even under the blistering sun. The restaurant in the Masseria is for guests to attend one meal with typical regional dishes. The dessert was to die for. Staying in the Masseria meant we didn't hear the evening show when going to sleep early which I imagine may not be the case for the main hotel area. There is a nice reserve nearby for walks or going for a run though it gets very hot without the wind in August. The few negatives we considered through our stay were: the beach has black sand and was extremely windy during our stay, we didn't go more than 30 minutes as the minibus was cramped and the beach was very unpleasant, we had to drive 40 minutes to 1 hour to the Ionio Sea to enjoy nicer beaches and meant we missed out on our all inclusive lunch. The gym had a gorgeous view into the olive fields but was not well kept, the machines were ineffective, and there was no water or mats, it wasn't a place I could use for a week and the sun heated everything up. The only pull up bar was on the kids playground... beware if you have allergies or special dietary needs as more than once we actually asked the staff whether there was meat in the dishes and they said no but then we would find it in there anyway. The animation was overall made of really lovely people and our kid enjoyed how nice they were and the baby dance in the evening however the activities were underfunded, light to say the least, amateurish for the best. The DJ in the evening show would often not do as asked by the person with the microphone it was a bit strange. Another example is that for archery there was only 1 bow for everyone which meant you had to line up and wait your turn (usually villagi have many at a time). Overall a great stay if you want peace, good food, and a pool. Otherwise if you're looking for the beach best to avoid.

What an amazing vacation!! The staff was exceptionally courteous and just a delight to speak with. A special thank you goes out to Connie for her amazing work-outs and great company. Soft animation which I love. The Spa was amazing, a magical place with great massages and treatments, clean and a relaxing oasis. The food was exceptionally good with great Apulian dishes. The staff was kind and always helpful. The rooms clean, modern and spacious, especially the bathroom. Great job everyone and thank you!!
