The view is simply stunning. The pool is a little old to look at, but lovely to be in. The landscaping and surrounds are beautiful. The daily breakfast options are generous. The dining menu and quality are top class. And the staff were attentive, helpful, polite and genuinely interested in making our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible.

Tea and coffee facilities in the room would have been nice. Ice-trays in the fridge would be good. The shared outdoor furniture isn't ideal – there should be a greater sense of privacy between adjacent rooms.

After 3 weeks of travelling and a long drive from Lecce, it was lovely to take some time out and just relax at this resort. The amenities were excellent, the view from our balcony exceptional and we had one of our best meals in Puglia, at the in house restaurant.

The sofa bed, as a couch, was a bit uncomfortable to sit on for a long time. But this is a minor gripe as we spent most of our time on sun beds on the patio.

Fantastic apartment terrace with good furniture and a spectacular view of the bay. Good bathroom size, useful kitchenette with ample utensils/pans and the bed was very comfortable with useful wardrobes in the bedroom. The reception and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay and the gardens were lovely.

The lounge/diner was sparse and needed another comfortable chair for when 2 or more people stay.

Incredible stay at this unique hotel. We went for the view, the pool and the breakfast, and we were not deceived. The rooms are clean and comfortable, equipped with air conditioning, a relaxing shower, a huge fridge and even a small dishwasher and a washing machine. The location is perfect with a small supermarket just a few minutes away. I recommend asking for a room on the 2nd floor of the buildings up the hill so you get the best view. We had room number 349 and it was lovely. The staff was very accommodating during our stay. Highly recommended!

The restaurant is good, but way overpriced for the quality of the food, although it is very well presented. We enjoyed not having to drive to enjoy dinner.

The hotel is situated in a dreamy location. Overlooking Mattinata bay and surrounded by olive trees. The staff is helpful and polite. The apartment has everything one needs.

We liked the location up on the hill and a big private garden that came with our room. It was good to have a kitchennnete with the dishwasher, washing mashine a a microwave, so we could stay in and cook on some evenings. There are a few restaurants on the seaside, though, overall, Mattinata is a small place and you will enjoy quiet evenings if it is what you are looking for. The beach pass was discounted (20 euros even at the weekend in June 2022), and the beach (Gardino del Monsignore) itself was great, with good facilities and accommodating staff. If you do not have a car and do not want to pay for the beach, you can walk down the hill to a public beach (up to 15 min). Forest Umbra is about 45 min drive, with pleasant walks in shady beautiful woods.

Breakfast could be better, though, it had all essentials, the choice could be bigger. Fresh orange juice was watered down a few times, which was a bit disappointing. You need a car to get to the beach as it is a long walk down the hill - it used be a shuttle before COVID, so you better check with the hotel, if it is back in service. Swimming pool was more of a landshaft design feature than a facility to use.

The view is amazing. We particularly liked the semi-private terrace outside the rooms facing the sea, where it is possible to sit and relax. The staff were polite and friendly. The quality of the food in the restaurant was very good, as was the selection at breakfast.

Very nice location, with great sea view. The apartment had all the needed amenities, very clean. The Staff was very kind and attentive

The shower cabin in the apartment was very small and a bit uncomfortable. Pillows could be of greater quality given the overall hotel facilities

We enjoyed this hotel quite a lot. The room was spacious and clean, breakfast was great and we had dinner once which was also really nice. The view on the bay is really something we enjoyed, especially at breakfast and from the pool, and there are gorgeous beaches easily available by car (but I guess some depending on the season of travel). Private parking also nice to have. We recommend it.

The bed could be better (soft and noisy), and the shower was a bit small. But honestly it's ok, these are details and our stay was great.

The rooms have been fine and clean. The air condition worked well. The breakfast was really good.

The sun lounger around the pool were very limited and the available shade unsufficient. No parasols available and the bast mat used as shade are full of holes.
