Masseria Donna Menga

Masseria Donna Menga

10/10 Excellent
"This property is beautiful. The facilities, the staff, the service, the food... We spent a week there, and used it as a base to visit Gallipoli, Nardo, Lecce, Ostuni. It's not a place to spend a week if you are not planning to go sightseeing etc, as it is remote and there's nothing around it. It can be a bit off putting on arrival to see the surrounding area of agricultural land and not much else, but the Masseria itself is an oasis of calm once you are inside. This is a place that needs a car. Although the masseria can arrange taxis, the quotes we had were very expensive, so we relied on our car. Food at the masseria is lovely. We enjoyed good breakfasts and a few evening meals there, which were of very high quality. Above all, it is the truly exceptional staff that make this place - everyone we encountered is a credit to the masseria."

"Great location, beautiful unique design! We just loved it. Valet parking and many cool sitting areas with so much to look at! Our room was on a level with only stairs but not just any stairs, it’s not much different than walking in the old city, in fact it made it very unique! We’ll be back!"

"Great location to beautiful old town. Easy to find and access good secure parking. Room very good except shower which was tiny and saloon style doors were 2cm off the tray and a 0.5cm gap between doors full length. Bathroom flooded every time we showered. Pool was excellent but lots of biting insects disturbing sunbathing. Breakfast was excellent. Lovely helpful staff. Very nice hotel overall and close to train station if traveling by train. Definitely would go back."

Dimore di Lecce

10/10 Excellent
"The property had a lovely studio type room ie bed, kitchenette, bathroom. An Italian breakfast was supplied on the rooftop of the premises. This was a lovely spot to dine. The hosts helped with meal recommendations & ringing taxis. So they helped to make my stay more pleasurable. I would have liked a few amenities for the 4 star status eg tissues, shower cap, vanity set. I was greeted with a bottle of wine and a yummy cake, though. Lecce is a beautiful Baroque city. The Old Town is one of the prettiest and cleanest I’ve seen in Italy. There are a lot of sights to see too eg churches, main entry gates, Roman amphitheatre, Duomo & bell tower with excellent views over the city. I’d recommend this town to everyone."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Santa Barbara?
The best area to stay in Santa Barbara is near the historic downtown and the beachfront, offering a mix of cultural attractions and coastal access.For couples, the area around State Street and the Funk Zone is an excellent choice. State Street is the main thoroughfare, lined with shops, restaurants, and art galleries, leading directly to Stearns Wharf. The Funk Zone, adjacent to downtown and the beach, is a lively district known for its wine-tasting rooms, breweries, and unique eateries housed in former industrial buildings. It's a great spot for evening strolls and enjoying local flavors.Families often find the area closer to East Beach and Cabrillo Boulevard ideal. This location provides direct access to the expansive sandy beach, great for swimming and building sandcastles. Cabrillo Boulevard runs along the waterfront, offering walking and biking paths, and is home to the Santa Barbara Zoo.
When is the best time to go to Santa Barbara?
The best time to visit Santa Barbara is during late spring, from April to May, or in the fall, from September to October, to enjoy pleasant weather and fewer crowds.During these shoulder seasons, the weather is comfortably warm, with average temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s Fahrenheit. You'll find it ideal for exploring the outdoor attractions, such as the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden or walking along East Beach. This period also allows for a more relaxed experience at popular spots like Stearns Wharf, as the summer rush hasn't fully begun or has already subsided.Families often find late spring particularly appealing, as the days are long and sunny, great for activities like visiting the Santa Barbara Zoo or enjoying the playgrounds at Chase Palm Park. The ocean water is also beginning to warm up, making it suitable for beachgoing without the peak summer crowds.For couples, the fall months offer a romantic setting with warm days and cooler evenings. Many of the local vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley are in full harvest, making it an excellent time for wine tasting tours.
