What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This is the first google review I write, I had such an amazing experience at this property I needed to share it so more could have the same experience I had. I cannot say enough great things about Tenuta Monticelli. I just got back from a stay with my family (2 adults + 2 children under 8), and I would book to go back in an instant. The service is incredible, the property is right out of a fairytale, truly one of the nicest I’ve stayed at, the breakfast was a highlight of our 8 night stay in Puglia and the best I’ve seen anywhere. Salvatore, Sara, the lovely ladies serving breakfast and the whole team are there to make sure you have the perfect holiday. Sara took care of booking all our lidos, boat excursions and suppers - all of which were amazing. I travel a lot and have been to many places, Tenuta Monticelli is at the top of my list. It is also perfectly located to visit South Puglia, just 10 minutes east of Gallipoli, set on a beautiful little hill with views of the Ionian Sea, it was the perfect haven to come back to after tours, days at the beach and our nights out visiting the nearby cities. The rooms are immaculately clean and well appointed, the pool is the nicest I’ve seen at any hotel, and walking through the fruit and olive treats on the grounds with butterflies flying all around you is just the cherry on top. Don’t think, just book it, you will not regret it. Grazie mille Tenuta Monticelli!”
“You can see from the pictures how gorgeous this place is, well kept, lovely pool, breakfast is absolutely perfect. What the pictures don't show is the incredible service. Sara the manager was exceptionally helpful from the minute we arrived. She organised taxis, made great restaurant suggestions, iron to the room, local travel advise all delivered with the sort of warmth that lets you know she cares deeply about Puglia, Tenuta Monticelli and the guests. Maurizio our taxi driver turned a routine roundtrip to Gallipoli into a memorable experience - he went above and beyond and it was appreciated. The morning kitchen staff also get a mention, friendly and professional. We ended up adding an extra night (which Sara expertly arranged) and I wish it could of been more! 5 stars - I want to go back.”
“We had the most incredible holiday. The team are so thoughtful and kind, and the setting is stunning. Baby Mali loved exploring Puglia”
