Italian breakfast as usual with lots of food. You won’t go hungry. Our concierge, Alessandro, was wonderful and so helpful and spoke English very well and ordered us tea while waiting for our room on a cool, rainy day. He also telephoned a restaurant for us since I left my jacket up in another town and we don’t speak much Italian. The facility is lucky to have him! Kudos to Alessandro. The Villa is elegant and the grounds are beautiful. Our room was large and nicely decorated with a big Roman tub and great grooming products. Definitely a 5-star hotel at a reasonable price.

The entrance to the facility is off a highway and you need to slow down to find their hotel. Signage should be bigger.

The Relais Villa San Martino was an oasis of calm in very busy Puglia. It is located slightly out of the town of Martina Franca, which is central within Puglia, therefore allowing us to do day trips to Matera, Ostuni, Alberobello and other villages and yet be back at the hotel for relaxation around the beautiful pool later in the afternoon. Our room was large and well-appointed, and whilst we had asked for a twin room, we were given more a suite with a larger and a smaller bed. Upon arrival on our first night, we were greeted by Alessandro and his staff, all of whom were friendly, helpful and polite at all times. Nothing was too much for them all. Breakfast was next level - delicious fruits, breads, pastries and cakes - all beautifully laid out. A cooked breakfast was also an option. Samwell (Samual) was particularly lovely - efficient, friendly and he looked after us very well both at the pool bar and at breakfast time with fabulous coffees. We actually wish we’d stayed there the whole week and just done day trips from there. Thanks you Alessandro, Gabriel and all the staff for a fabulous stay.

The comfort, quality of the facilities and food (breakfast/dinner) were exceptional. Above all, the friendly efficient staff, especially Alexandro, ensured we had a memorable stay. Highly recommended.

Nothing

Family owned and operated Masseria with beautiful grounds and buildings. Two restaurants id exceptional quality. About a half mile out of the town center on a large and private property. A highly professional young staff, They have a world class wine cellar and collection. A magnificent breakfast is included. Quite a value. Martina Franca is a hidden gem 20 minutes from everything. The historic inner city is one of the most incredibly elegant, clean and safe family friendly experiences of Southeastern Italy. And the prices are an incredible bargain. Puglia is called the new Amalfi. Maybe not quite the glitz but far advanced from our trips of 30 years ago. This little city is so easy to travel to every other site including Lecce and Gallipoli, both part of this incredibly revived area. After you have seen the big tourist cities, go south east for a real Italian experience. Bella, Bella, Bella.

I wish you could walk to the town center but driving here is never hectic just like small towns in America.. Tutti elegante.

We absolutely loved our stay at Relais Villa San Martino in Puglia! From the moment we arrived, Gabriele and the team made us feel right at home with their warm welcome and attentive service. The hotel's surroundings are stunning, offering a serene and peaceful atmosphere that was incredibly relaxing. The location of Villa San Martino is perfect for exploring the beauty of Puglia. Situated near Martina Franca, Ostuni, Locorotondo, and Alberobello, we had easy access to these charming towns and their unique attractions. The breakfast at Villa San Martino was excellent, with a delightful buffet offering a variety of delicious options to start our day. The hotel's trullo restaurant (IL TRULLO DI NINÒ) offered authentic Italian homemade cuisine that we highly recommend. The attention to detail and quality of the food were exceptional, ensuring a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience. The rooms at the hotel were cozy and comfortable, making us feel right at home. We slept soundly and woke up refreshed each morning. The staff's dedication to cleanliness and maintenance was evident, and we appreciated their efforts to create a comfortable and inviting environment. In summary, our experience at Villa San Martino was truly remarkable. The warm welcome, beautiful surroundings, and relaxing atmosphere made us feel like we belonged. The convenient location near charming towns allowed us to explore the best of Puglia effortlessly. If you're looking for a home away from home in Puglia, we highly recommend Relais Villa San Martino for an unforgettable stay.

It e was a most inviting and comfortable facility. The staff were amazing.alexandro and his staff made me feel like I was visiting my cousin Vincenzo in New Jersey. The food at the restaurant was excellent. The recommendations for other restaurants was Superior. The rooms were good sized quiet and the bed was comfortable. The bar and bartender were Superior. It was surprising to have my favorite cocktail, the last word, in such a location. The Villa was quite centrally located and allowed us to visit numerous locations in the area.

What I didn't like was that I did not stay for a week because my time had run out.

Our daughter is getting married here in May 2024, so we stayed for 2 nights to get a feel for the property. It is simply stunning, we are thrilled with her choice of wedding venue. It is tastefully decorated throughout and they are continually looking at ways to improve the property. The staff could not do enough for you. We all thoroughly enjoyed the fine dining experience - it was a real treat.

We wished we could have stayed longer.

I would like to thank Alexander for understanding that we could not arrive at the hotel on the dates we booked because of the war in Israel and gave us the option to come whenever we wanted and kept the payment we paid in advance. It’s good that there are honest people in the world. Thank again

Beautiful hotel with stunning garden and great pool. Breakfast was good, hotel staff was very friendly. Prticulary would like to thank Alessandro who was the kindest person ever, very helpful and always wanted to make sure we have everything we need. Grazie mille! :)

The hotel is so lovely with old world charm and set in breathtakingly beautiful grounds. But the staff just made our stay even more enjoyable. Friendly smiling faces and a wealth of information on the area. We loved every second we stayed there.
