"The accommodation was very nice and clean, everything works (a/c etc.), bedding was very comfortable. Our hosts Francesco and Maria went out of their way to make our stay special. Breakfast was very nice. Location is also great - in old town - all restaurants are within walking distance 5-7 min"
"Lovely property in quiet location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, as was the evening meal. Room was well maintained and very clean."

6/10 Okay
"The home itself is beautiful, but there are several things guests should be aware of. Inside the main house, there are only two bedrooms and one bathroom. Unfortunately, the shower is not functional — the holder for the showerhead is broken, so you have to sit in the bathtub and use the handheld piece. It was honestly one of the most stressful shower experiences I’ve had.Air conditioning is also an issue. There is only one unit near the front door, which somewhat cools the two bedrooms if you keep the doors open, but that means giving up all privacy. The kitchen and living room area have no air conditioning. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem if you could keep the beautiful doors open for a breeze, but there are no screens or mosquito guards. Because of this, the house becomes infested with mosquitoes, which was unbearable. We also noticed ants and other bugs on the floor. While I understand the home is surrounded by nature, better upkeep and pest control would make a huge difference for guests.The other bedrooms are located outside of the main house. This could be ideal for some groups, but for us it wasn’t — we wanted to stay together as a family. On the positive side, the kitchen is very well equipped, the outdoor grill was great, the pool was wonderful, and the long dining tables with plenty of chairs made for lovely group dinners. Those features really added to our stay.Overall, though, the home fell short in terms of comfort and luxury, which was disappointing."
"Beautiful property, huge pool, stunning gardens. Really close to centre of town. The property sits on quite a busy road but behind gates and high walls so feels very private. Really well equipped house. The hosts were fantastic - really approachable and helpful. Definitely recommend!"
"Breakfast area was very small for the amount of rooms. Many mornings guests had to wait to eat. Some left wihout eating because they had thing to do & appointments to meet."
"Great on pictures but didn’t live up to it in reality. Bathroom, sink and shower were smelly. The toilet seat was broken.
We also had a bad experience due to a lost item and the hotel was not helpful. When we drove back to find the item
The kitchen staff were lovely though. "
After visiting Castle of Conversano, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Conversano. Stroll along the area's seaside or simply enjoy its local cheese shops.
