A really beautiful property, a comfortable room, and lovely hosts!

The location was very close to town but you felt like you were much further away due to the size of the property and how spread out it is. The rooms were amazing with extremely comfortable beds and a large bathroom. The breakfast was delicious.

A super cute family run property with some nice design features. The owner is very attentive and helpful in terms of 'what to do', attractions to visit, etc

We only stayed 2 nights but could have stayed longer. Raffaela is a wonderful hostess. We told her the place was like a home away from home. Very relaxed but we felt welcome and taken care of. Breakfast was beautiful including fresh local fruit, homemade juices and jams, and the best olive oil of our 4 weeks in Italy. We took a cooking lesson, learning how to make orecchiette , with fresh tomato and basil sauce, as well as eggplant parmigiana. Raffi was patient and kind. We really enjoyed our lesson and the results! We highly recommend staying here if you are looking for an authentic Italian experience

My family and I stayed at Tenuta Martinelli for 6 days and loved every minute of it! The property is really beautiful and the owners are very hands on and helpful. They served a delicious breakfast with home made cakes every morning. The room was spacious and clean. We loved all the beautiful details with the vintage Fiat 500s, the beautifully decorated villa, the pool area and the garden. It's a peaceful oasis, just outside Monopoli. The nearby beach is also great, with good cliff diving for our teenagers. Would definitively stay here again!

An old masseria renovated with great care, filled with local interior accessories, maintained in the rustic minimal design convention. We occupied two junior suites on the ground floor and were the only guests of the hotel, which made us feel like a VIP. Each room was spacious with access to the outdoor terrace and a bathroom with chromotherapy and a comfortable shower. The room is high, which makes it seem even larger than its actual surface. The facility has recently been opened, but we will certainly come back to use the spa and gym zone on level minus 1, which is scheduled to be open in late autumn - it already looks impressive. We were happy to use the outdoor swimming pool and the recreational area around it. A large olive grove offers many arrangement possibilities for larger events. The hotel serves vegan breakfasts, although they could be a bit more varied, especially when you stay there for longer than a day or two. Croissants and coffee deserve separate praise. We took advantage of the hotel's offer and rented e-bikes with a guide (Probike Monopoli) to cover over 50 km in the beautiful surroundings on the way to Savelletri. We also went for an olive oil tasting (Scisci) and had great fun preparing pasta (orecchiette) with tomato sauce in the hotel kitchen under the watchful eye of a professional chef (Madia from Raparossa). Our arrival and stay was not without adventures. On the way from the airport, we had a tyre puncture, and the next day, during a bicycle trip, we urgently needed medical help and antihistamines after a bee sting. Fortunately, Giovanni, who is the main person running the masseria, showed great understanding and perfect help. He organized both the tire repair and the doctor. He recommended and booked restaurants in the area. He was constantly, imperceptibly present, and treated our needs individually and with great care.

We really enjoyed our stay at Apollo House, Marco Antonio made us feel immediately comfortable on arrival, and for the duration of our stay, his hospitality made our trip extra special. He had lots of local knowledge and recommendations. The location is beautiful, high up in the olive groves with a stunning view looking right out to sea from the lovely swimming pool and eating/lounge area. The trullo we stayed in was very cute, comfortable and had everything you needed. We chose to have breakfast most mornings and dinner one evening, all prepared by Marco Antonio, and it was all delicious! Fresh produce, some directly from the location such as almonds from the trees! Would totally recommend having these if you’re staying here, great food in a beautiful setting (we felt no pressure from Marco Antonio to do so, it’s there as an extra option if you fancy it). You need a car to get here, it’s well sign posted and easy to find, only a 20 min drive into Monopoli, and you’re in a perfect position to explore multiple nearby towns from Apollo. Look forward to coming back again :)
