A relaxing getaway in an idyllic setting
Masseria Palombara is a true gem. It is the ideal place for a relaxing holiday. The Masseria is surrounded by the beautiful Salentinian countryside within two to three kilometres both to the seaside and to the picturesque village of Salve.
The Masseria is a typical Apulian farmhouse renovated to a high standard. The room we stayed in was spacious and clean, with a high ceiling and a good size modern bathroom. It was equipped with a mini fridge - which we found very useful - and the air-conditioning worked very well. Our room opened to the in-yard with beautiful apricot and fig trees with our own patio area - perfect to enjoy a glass of wine in the sunset!
But to be honest, the best thing about the Masseria Palombara is the hospitality of the owners and the staff. It really felt like they made every effort to make us feel comfortable. The tasty local breakfast was served till late in the morning and included many home-made delights. We were able to borrow bikes from the Masseria to explore the surroundings and the seaside.
Overall, we really enjoy our stay and would definitely return and recommend it to others.
