Hotel Masseria San Domenico in Fasano, open June–September.
Guests arrive at this fortified 16th-century masseria in Puglia's Valle d'Itria to discover whitewashed stone walls, manicured gardens, and Mediterranean views that stretch across the countryside.
The property's 13 suites offer intimate accommodation steps from ceremony and reception spaces, allowing your wedding party to move seamlessly from celebration to rest.
Staff coordinate logistics so guests focus on the landscape, the food, and each other.
Rude staff at the reception. Not professional and giving attitude to the hotel guests. We were staying as a group of 6 people and everyone was shocked by the staff: couldn’t arrange transfers in time, tried to double charge for hotel services. Shouted at my friend at the check out. Also, we were disappointed with the fact that its a five star hotel and they dont have a steamer/ iron in the room so you have to pay €50 for steaming services.
