We stayed in this hotel last year during our Italy trip. We had heard great things and were very excited. My husband had even heard a lot about their restaurant "duca di martina ' and had made a reservation quite a few days before. We had budgeted our hotels in the other cities so we could stay here as it... More

I wanted to stay along the coast but the two recommended Masseria's were booked so this was my third choice but It ended up being a perfect location for us. It's a 30 minute drive to either the Adriatic or Ionian seas (you'll want a car in Puglia). It's in the middle of beautiful landscape and a 5 minute drive... More

Of all the luxury hotels in Southern Italy, where we have stayed in many years of Italian holidays, this is absolutely the best! Beautiful outdoor pool and large garden which is overlooked by our elegant and spacious room, wonderful Arabic style the SPA in the basement, but the best is the restaurant where we dined for most evenings and every...

My husband and I were bicycling through Puglia on our own and chose the Villa for two nights, so we could use one day for a day ride to Locorotondo, Alberobello and back. We weren't quite sure what to expect as we left Martina Franca and then spotted the hotel so close to the main road. From the outside, the... More

I just visited this hotel today (Nov 26th, 2008) and checked in. 2 hours later I checked out again! It's completely not what I expected!!! Yes, it's decorated like a 5 star hotel on the inside; but the outside didn't look well at all! It needs some proper renovation. Secondly; I was upgraded to a suite; sounds very nice but... More

In this hotel we were treated as "royals". Our stay in one of the superb suites, with a large terrace, is unforgettable. The staff makes you really feal at home, they fulfill all your wishes with a smile. The restaurant serves delicious and exquise meals and the wines are excellent. This is a place where we certainly will return.

The 5 star Luxury rating for this hotel is well-deserved. It was by far the best accommodation we stayed in during 2 weeks in Puglia and great value for the special internet rate we had for a Junior Suite. From the fine linen sheets on the bed to the excellent restaurant, this hotel had all you would expect of a... More

I was at the Relais Villa San Martino in the summer of 2005 for my honeymoon and couldn't say enough wonderful things about it. It is set back from a moderately busy road, but is far enough away that we never heard any noise. The employees went above and beyond, even opening their lovely restaurant for a very late lunch...

The hotel is new and has nice facilities including the spa and the restaurant with decent food. However it is not an international-standard 5-star hotel. The lapses are: located at busy street which you hear 24hours/day; hotel's main clientele is people who hold events such as weddings,conferences etc and not tourists which can be felt in the service. Sea-side is... More
