Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Masseria de Mandorle was a mix of highs and lows. The cozy rooms at the sister hotel were clean and comfortable, but the narrow, dark layout with a windowless bathroom was a downside. The service was exceptional, with the owners and staff showing passion and friendliness in every interaction. The location overlooking historical vestiges was outstanding, but the lack of natural light in the rooms was a drawback. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the traditional Irish pancakes, but the limited menu was a bit disappointing. The facilities were well-prepared for guests, offering a pleasant overall experience.

However, the service provided by the owners and staff involved in every detail was exceptional. The location overlooking historical vestiges was outstanding, but the dining experience was limited with only artisan bread on offer. Despite the room's shortcomings, the facilities provided were satisfactory.
