Masseria Torricella Chiancone - TARANTO

The old main buildings were charming, the staff were excellent and the food and wine was very good too. However, the sound proofing between the rooms was not good enough and as most people seemed to be on a coach tour and thus arriving in the evening and then off again very early in the morning it was all very noisy. Suitcases were dragged over the tiled floors, doors were banged and there was a lot of loud talking. Being woken up at 6am every morning is not restful.

Very nice, good service and very nice traditional italian food. The dining room is very elegant and spacious.

We had some very nice dishes and some not. Capreese salad was good whilst a pork dish was heavy with very little Puligian greens to balence it. The service was again a little patchy, friendly but at times absent. Quatities were too large in our opinion as we would have prefferd more quality. Wine list is local and very good.

The food was excellent but the portions were far too large. The service was also excellent, and the wine selection was good and well-priced.

We decided to spend an Italian Holiday (April 25) the so called Liberation Day in this beautiful Masseria . That 's the name of a rural hotel that owns a reastaurant and all the products are locally made and raised. We had an entire fresh room for our group very big ancient and confortable. Food was really in large quantities (as always around here) and good overall. Wine and beverages were at our disposal with no limits. The price? I think was a good deal, all inclusive we spent 35 Euros ea. Good for Families, groups and for Couples. They also have rooms and a nice pool in the summer. ideal for a good relaxing weekend. Have fun.
