B&B Pignata

This is a lovely remote location B&B located between Fasano (5-6 mins) and Savelletri (approx. 15 mins) on the coast. The building is very tastefully clad with natural stone as is the surrounding patio and also the rooms. The building was surrounded by many olive trees. There are stone clad stairways to some rooms and lovely archways plus wheel chair access around the patio. Our room was well sized and had a larger than std double bed. The firm (for me), but not uncomfortable, mattress took a night to get used to. There was a large shower room and toilet all, again, again clad in natural stone (some rooms have a bath with shower over). A wall mounted air conditioning unit provided good control of the room temperature in an ambient temperature of 30 deg. The room was exceptionally clean and fresh towels were provided daily. A very short walk takes you to a very clean, well kept triangular shaped pool. It's not possible to call it a swimming pool as only the the apex area was deep enough to get your feet off the bottom but it was perfect for lounging around it and cooling off. Sun beds and thick mattresses were provided. Another short walk takes you to the remote breakfast room which was quite large and airy. A good selection of food (nothing hot) was provided and all manner of coffee was provided by the very attentive Maria. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and provided an excellent translation service following a minor car accident I was involved in. My wife and I were only there for an all too brief 3 nights and are looking forward to returning next year for a longer stay.

The masseria was in the middle of olive trees and the atmosphere was stunning. The owner kind and helpful. The pool was clean and nice even if not so deep, clearly recommanded for children. I would definitely come back here.

The asset is basic, but actually nice and silent. You need a car definitely, it's in the middle of nowhere. With a car, everything is in 5 min. distance: sea, sand beaches, Fasano, Savelletri...however, what disturbed me a lot was the fact that (only) at the moment of check-out I was told that I need to settle the bill in cash - even if the booking confirmation was saying that you can pay with credit card. I had to sit in the car, drive to ATM in Fasano, come back...not very nice :-(
