Tenuta del Lauro is an escape from the rush in the unspoilt Apulian landscapes. Ruins have been converted to an exclusive rural-chic estate. Tenuta del Lauro is in the middle of the Itria Valley, between Locorotondo and Alberobello, reachable through scenic country lanes and fields. The property is made up of the mansion and a complex of 11 Trulli organized in 4 Suites. The true soul of the Resort is the garden: roses, rosemary, lavender, figs: therapeutic aromas hover in the air and regenerate the senses. The vienyards, the grass and the olive trees surround the two main facilities outdoors: the pool and the jacuzzi.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Really everything about this place is top notch. We were there on a weekend so I can’t say whether construction noisie is an issue (red crane across the street) but for sure as I write this review at 11am Monday all I hear are birds and wind. Vito how do you do it? All of the different garden areas are soooo beautiful and well maintained, each bed on drip systems. Also some really cool design elements (series of pergola arches, interlocking herb beds, vines trained up chain links etc). I probably sat for three hours each day on the steps outside our room just soaking it all in. We left the grounds at sunset each night to explore for an hour on foot. Note: you should expect to encounter numerous dogs but they are all in cages/pens or tied up so pose no risk to pedestrians. small dogs yapping as you pass by, which initially made me hesitate. The area seems mostly residential, pensioners, families with kids/swing sets, farming. Staff will help you set up dinner reservations in town, eat at U’Curdenn a restaurant that specializes in Puglia cuisine. How every I cannot reccomend Bina, which is often suggested but touristy and overpriced.

We were in tenuta del Lauro for a couple of days. The garden and swimming pool are amazing. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. It is a special experience to spend the night in a trullo.
We felt very welcome by the lovely host and her staff. They walked the extra mile to make us feel happy. Breakfast was to good to be true.
If we are in the neighbourhood we will surely go back there.

My mother and I stayed in one of the 4 (?) Trulli guest rooms for 3 nights in May. Even before we arrived, Luciana gave my mom her cell phone for WhatsApp should we need anything. This is considered a “guest house” so it is an intimate but beautiful place to stay to explore the Puglia area especially Locorotondo, Alberobello, Martina Franca, etc. The Trulli houses (rooms) are hundreds of years old but restored and decorated by the designer Missoni. The grounds are just beautiful and peaceful. The pool area is so inviting (we had too many trips planned to enjoy!). Every morning Rosanna and Claudia would provide a generous continental “plus” breakfast, actually going into the garden for fresh ingredients. Her focaccia and omelette were delicious and made each morning. Pastries were abundant and there was always cheese, cold cuts, tea, coffee, cappuccino, fresh fruit, etc! And they were so nice!The dining table is set for 8 but you can also sit outside. There is no bar or restaurant but we got food and wine in Locorotondo and sat in the beautiful glass enclosed common space, which was lovely. This is a peaceful, beautiful place to come home to after exploring.

What a beautiful place! The gardens are a total delight - they are extremely fragrant, abundant, and flower-full. The rooms are very quaint and well designed. Spotlessly clean. A five minute drive from Locorotondo where you can find fantastic restaurants, gelato, a beautiful view to the sea and pretty village. We had lunch and a massage booked by Tenuta Del Lauro - highly recommended. Breakfast was totally delicious. It's extremely private and peaceful at all times, a heavenly place to relax after planning our wedding. One note: If you are susceptible to mosquito bites - make sure to bring plenty of deet spray as due to the amazing gardens, there are naturally plenty of mosquitos around.

We stayed for 2 nights in the junior suite with its own private terrace and pool view. We arrived at 3 and were met by two lovely staff. We were given a tour of the whole property while our bags were taken to our room. Everything was explained to us via google translate! I felt as if we’d landed in paradise- the grounds are so fragrant, aromatic and well thought out. We were introduced to the owner Tanya Missoni (yes of the famous design house!). Our room was absolutely stunning - full of elegant furnishing. The bed soo comfortable too. Luciana was amazing; she was so kind and helpful. There is no bar, but we found that she would just appear when we fancied a cold glass of wine or beer. She even offered us homemade focaccia. Even though there were other guests we only saw them at breakfast so it felt like we had the whole hotel to ourselves! Breakfast was lovely too and served by the very smiley Claudia. You definitely need a car to get to the beautiful Locorotondo, but on our second night as my husband didn’t want to drive, Luciana took us and picked us up! Thank you Luciana. If you fancy a place to recharge your batteries then this is for you!

This space is magical. You could spend your entire vacation here although the town of Locorotondo is very nice and worth exploring. Very relaxing, lovely staff, fabulous space. The breakfasts were amazing which was such a difference from the normal sweet roll served the majority of places in Italy. Your private space as well as the shared space were just beautiful. The beds could be longer. My husband is 6' and we figured out he needed to sleep on a diagonal so his feet wouldn't hang off.

Friendly staff and beautiful surroundings however the hotel allow dogs to stay with guests and we felt this was inappropriate as the guests are allowed to bring their dogs to the breakfast table and the pool area - this is not expected from a high quality relaxation hotel. Very expensive charges for transfer to the local town (€15 for 3 minute journey) and late checkout (€95)

A fantastic place! We loved it. We absolutely fell in love with this resort. It feels like entering the private home of the Missoni family, every detail is thought. It is very private and yet close to Alberobello, Locorotondo and everywhere. Great breakfast and staff that has pampered us from the beginning to the end. We absolutely loved it, and now we decided to come back and organize a family long weekend in this paradise. An absolute must!

We stayed at Tenuta del Lauro for 3 nights in July.
The place is extremely relaxing, quiet, and decorated with great taste (not surprisingly!)
Also, all staff are extremely polite and unassuming. The kitchen offers local dishes of high quality - don't expect a big menu, but certainly a tasty one.
The price is at least 30% lower than what you can expect to pay in similar boutique hotels in this area.
Well done!

On arrival to tenuta del Lauro it is obvious that the grounds and surroundings are stunning. Vines, strawberries growing around the pool, beautiful plants and flowers everywhere. Beautiful big daybeds around the pool. However there were definitely some sticking points... There is no bar or restaurant, and no staff constantly present so if we wanted a drink or something to eat it always felt a bit awkward - looking for someone and asking. Not knowing where to wait etc. There was no menu anywhere or at information about lunches, so we didn’t have a clue what to ask for - and the manager doesn’t speak a word of English so it just felt an impossibility to ask something like that. She either communicated by repeatedly speaking in Italian until you pretend to understand or uses a translate app on her phone. Bit annoying if she is the only person there to ask anything. Going inside the main property it felt like I shouldn’t be there. Like I was walking into their house or something. There’s no indoor space at all apart from your own room. We got back from a beach party at 10pm and there was nowhere in the hotel to get a drink. Everyone was asleep. And finally, we asked the staff to book us a taxi one day, for a 25 minute journey. The “taxi” was clearly owned by them, it had the hotel name on the side. They said we would pay when we check out. Which we did. But they charged €80! We got the beach club to get us one back that same evening and it only cost €60. So our own hotel pretty much ripped us off which made us leave on a sour note.
And finally, we booked a suite. And it definitely would not be classified as a suite by any stretch of the imagination. No sofa or seating area inside. Seating area outside is huge but with nowhere to get food or drink in the hotel it’s useless! At more than £200 a night I expected much more.
If you are looking for a super quiet holiday or long weekend, and just want beautiful surroundings and somewhere to relax, this hotel may be for you. For us it was way too quiet.
