Lovely place in the countryside. Near to the beach and beautiful Ostuni. Really clean and well presented, including a lovely pool. Breakfast is basic but fine. Staff are very friendly and the lady in charge allowed us to stay all day before checking out. We'll go back.
Management allowed us to sit by the pool while our room was being cleaned ( we were early). Bar provided a glass of wine and water as needed. Nice place.
This masseria is in the middle of nowhere - even the sat nav struggled to find it. It was great for peace and quiet except by the pool where you can here the motorway traffic going past. The staff were very helpful for example they went to collect food for us so that we could drink some wine and not have to drive. There is nothing within walking distance. We tried to walk to the beach which is not that far but found it impossible to get across the motorway. The nearby town of Ostuni was very charming.
The breakfast was a nice selection of meat, cheese, yoghurts, cereals, fruits, croissants and cake! The room was basic but ok. Many, many mosquitos - take repellent.
We planned to stay 3 nights.
We stayed only 1
After, 1 hour, we decided to go to another hotel because we did not like the place: it looks much better on the web site that it is for real.
It is probably true that the weather did not help: October 2015, raining all day long.
So we did not like the place overall but I think it might be a good place during summer.
In addition, but we noticed it after we decided to leave, we did not have hot water in the room.
Breakfast was good, let's be fair
But overall, clearly not a positive experience
Lovely clean, friendly hotel set amongst olive groves, but at the same time very close to the SS16. In spite of proximity to the main road, you could not hear it and the hotel was very quiet. Rooms basic but spotlessly clean, beds comfortable and had air conditioning. Nothing was too much trouble for Domenica and her friendly, helpful team. Beautiful pool area. Excellent base for exploring Puglia by car. Breakfast ok but could be improved. Nice touches like a shuttle into Ostuni 2-3 times a week in the evening and beach chairs and umbrellas supplied. We enjoyed it very much.
The people was very nice breakfast was average they would take you to restaurant at night or drop you off in ostuni the room was cleaned every daywith fresh towels overall quiet good
Fantastic stay at this masseria (old olive farm) , people were really nice with great pool to chill and beautiful places to visit nearby with good restaurants and beaches as well!!
It didn't make sense. You reserve your room by credit card, so if you don't show they have the technology to charge you for it. Yet when you come to pay your bill they have no working credit card system and you have to pay in precious Euros.
We were rely on not have to carry a dangerous amount of paper money and our first booking online ate into the little cash we had. It really worried us, but fortunately everywhere else we stayed isn't working on a cash only system.
Our room was incredibly cramped. What should have been our en suite was let out to a very amour ours couple. We heard every sound quite clearly, especially as we were wide awake as we only had an overhead ceiling fan. We dare not use it at any decent speed as the whole fixture wobbled badly beyond a light breeze. We feared that we might be decapitated in our sleep!
There's very little to say about the breakfast as it was so poor. Not at all like the other wonderful Italian places where we have stayed.
All in all, not a luxury stay, not even a quarter decent. Try somewhere better.
Masseria l'Ovile is a nice and cute farmhouse, accurately refurbished and very well managed. The room I got was large and well organised. Outstanding for the price I paid.I got useful indication by the owner about places for dinner. The breakfast was very good.Being a "masseria" it is quite isolated in the countryside, but very easily accessible from the main road connecting Bari to Brindisi
La Masseria è molto carina ed accogliente.
E' necessario avere l'auto per muoversi. In "bassa" stagione (20/5) il ristorante non è in funzione quindi bisogna sempre spostarsi per pranzo e/o cena
Einfaches Hotel mit schlechten Betten und Frühstück aus der Konserve, feuchte Zimmer

Response from Hotel Masseria l'ovile on 28 May 2018
Dear Sir we are very sorry about your opinion but that you write is not true. Our breakfast is complete and we offer also fresh fruit and home made cakes. Your room was very big for 2 persons and with a nice terrace.
All people need to know that you writed that because we not give you a discount as you asked.
If you did not like our hotel you could be live before and not stay untill your departure so you thinked to pay less.
We are very happy to not meet you again in our masseria
Best regards
Siamo stati ospiti della struttura x quattro notti in aprile. Domenica, la proprietaria, è sicuramente al top, sempre presente, coinvolgente, preparata per ogni consiglio relativo ai dintorni del luogo, gentile e disponibile. Peccato però che il luogo forse non era ancora pronto per accogliere degli ospiti. Alcuni disguidi ci hanno amareggiato il soggiorno e la colazione era proprio minimal con yogurt di discount e pane non proprio del luogo. Nessun dolce fatto in casa e nulla di locale sia dolce che salato. Sicuramente in stagione piena sarà meglio ma per noi una delusione totale.
Adresse à retenir sans hésitation malgré la difficulté à trouver l'emplacement !!! Nous sommes arrivés de nuit, il est vrai.
Accueil et prise en charge remarquable.
Arrivé tardive (retard d'avion) pour une nuit ,nous n'avons pas pu découvrir les alentours.l'horel est assez isolé mais le cadre est très joli et l'accueil chaleureux.
Nous sommes arrivés vers 23h et la réceptionniste nous a conseillé un restaurant qui pouvait encore nous recevoir, on nous y a même emmené en voiture et récupéré une fois le repas terminé.
Grand logement (avec 2 chambres), il n'y avait pas de couvertures, mais visiblement c'est souvent le cas en Italie..
Très joli site, mais malheureusement on n'a pas pu profiter de la piscine.
We verbleven hier 1 nacht op een korte rondreis door Puglia. Het hotel was makkelijk te vinden en goed gelegen, net buiten Ostuni. We waren aangenaam verrast door het mooie zwembad en de binnenplaats. Onze kamer was ruim (4-persoons) en had buiten een privé zitje in de schaduw. De vriendelijke receptionist heeft persoonlijk onze bestelde pizza afgehaald en bezorgd op onze kamer. Geweldige service! Tegenvaller was dat de kamer absoluut niet schoon was en heel erg stoffig.
Sehr freundliche Besitzer, ausgezeichnetes Service mit includiertem Shuttle zum Strand und nach Ostuni, sehr nettes, originales Ambiente, schöner Pool, gutes Frühstück, frisches Obst, Mietwagen sinnvoll, gute Ausgangslage für Apulienrundfahrt, nächstes Restaurant zu Fuß ca. 15 min. entfernt
Ci siamo trovati bene vicino al mare e molto tranquillo. Unica nota negativa il materasso poi il resto tutto perfetto. Tutti molto gentili e disponibili. L'ho già consigliato a diverse persone.
Premetto che questa era la nostra prima esperienza in Puglia ed è stata perfetta! La masseria è bella e ben tenuta. Silenziosa ed a metà strada tra Ostuni ed il mare. Ottima posizione. Non abbiamo goduto anche della piscina perché siamo stati fuori stagione ma tra pochi giorni sarà disponibile. Ci siamo trovati veramente bene anche e soprattutto grazie a Domenica ed ai suoi figli che hanno tanto giocato con la nostra. La sua disponibilità ed accoglienza ci hanno fatto sentire come in famiglia. Consiglio vivamente di visitare questi posti e soprattutto di soggiornare in totale relax presso questa struttura.
ottima posizione per conoscere la zona, vicinanza del mare, ospitalità ottima

Nettes familiengeführtes Hotel mit Pool
Wir sind nachts freundlich empfangen worden und hatten jeden Tag (5 Tage Aufenthalt) ein schönes Frühstücksbuffet - für italienische Verhältnisse sehr reichhaltig (frisches Obst, Joghurt, Müsli, Kuchen, Croissants und auch Schinken und Käse), dazu Kaffee oder Kakao nach Wahl und soviel wir wollten.
Kurz vor unserer Ankunft muss es heftig gestürmt haben und der Pool war leer und gesäubert, so dass wir schon dachten (Ende Oktober !!!) er ist jetzt winterfest. Aber am nächsten Tag pünktlich mit dem Sonnenschein war der Pool wieder gefüllt und unsere Kinder hatten einen Heidenspaß. Vielen Dank dafür.
In der Umgegend von Ostuni gibt es reichlich Kultur und auch Strände. Wir werden wahrscheinlich nochmal wiederkommen. Als Zwischenaufenthalt in den Süden auf jeden Fall eine gute Station.
Wir waren vier Tage in der Gegend von Ostuni. Das Hotel Masseria l' ovile liegt auf dem Land ca. 7 km von Ostuni entfernt gleich neben der Super-Strada. Trotzdem ist es eine ruhige Lage mitten in Olivenbäumen. Die Zimmer sind traditionell eingerichtet, sauber und einfach. Die Bewirtung beim Frühstück ist freundlich und vor allem das Obst ist erstklassig. Den Pool haben wir nie benutzt, da wir das Meer bevorzugen. Empfehlenswerte Absteige für alle diejenigen, die gerne auf dem Land sind und etwas der Hektik ausweichen möchten.
Cortesia, gentilezza e molta disponibilità dei proprietari. Lo consiglio vivamente. Colazione ricca e abbondante.
Camere attrezzate con tutto ciò che serve. Il mare lo abbiamo trovato mosso e quindi non l'abbiamo apprezzato.
Per chi cerca relax completo, neanche un minimo rumore esterno, sembra che intorno non esista niente.....una bellissima piscina, una struttura di data antica, con uno spiazzo centrale, con tanto di veranda esterna per colazioni estive....personale come se fosse parte della famiglia!!!! Eccellente......farei volentieri un anno intero di ferie da loro....
