Farmstay in Province of Taranto

"Simply our favorite place. We are an extended family made up of two grandparents, three families, and kids ranging from 10 to 17 years old, and for the past ten years, we’ve chosen Alborea Eco Lodge as our summer holiday destination. Every time it confirms our love for it—and every time, it’s hard to leave. Once again this year, the nautical activities were a big hit, especially with the kids, who enthusiastically took part in windsurfing, sailing, and canoeing. The food this year was perhaps the best we’ve had in the past ten years. A sincere thank-you and congratulations to the entire kitchen staff. A special mention goes to the Zurawski Band, whose live music created truly beautiful moments, adding a touch of quality and atmosphere to the already engaging entertainment offered by Bluserena’s amazing Dream Team. The resort staff is impeccable—kind, helpful, and always attentive to guests’ needs, from the reception team to the dining room staff, the bar crew, and the shuttle drivers. A lovely new addition this year was Gianmarco, the photographer, who, with great professionalism and discretion, managed to capture the most beautiful moments of our vacation. We highly recommend taking the time for a personalized photo session with him—a truly special memory to take home. For us, Alborea is much more than just a destination: it’s a tradition, a family ritual, a place where every year we find warm hospitality, nature, comfort, and genuine beauty."

"We would definitely recommend this property, just highlighting a lot of confusion around dining table assignments, and that for some reasons the outdoor one kept being moved under the sun despite plenty of availability under the shaded areas and us moving the tables every time clearly annoyed of the sun. Another element of improvement we would have liked is availability of water bottle refilling stations around the property."

"We were travelling as a family of three and upgraded our room for an extra €10 a night. Well worth it for the extra space. Hotel is spotless clean and staff are absolutely beautiful. So helpful. This hotel grows on you as does Martina Franca. We were sad to have to leave after five nights. "

"Beautiful and peaceful retreat. Breakfast was delicious."

"Meraviglioso "

"Just the most perfect place to stay. Very peaceful. Our Trulllo had everything we needed and was charming. Very nicely decorated. The garden is very pretty and well maintained. Our host could not have been more attentive and we felt well looked after. Breakfast had a great variety to choose from. Look forward to returning sometime if back in the area. Hoping so. Would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a lovely time. "
