Padula Fede Houseboat Rentals

"Had a wonderful stay.Staff were excellent made you feel very welcome."

"A little corner of paradise!This property is a hidden gem, in a magic Salento location, steps away from the beautiful crystal clear beach of Le Dune of Porto Cesareo. And Fabrizio is a wonderful host, full of amazing recommendations all around the area, he made us feel at home. In our next trip from NY to Italy we will come back! "

"Almost perfect. Only "complaint" was that the room was made up quite late in the day (after 3pm). Otherwise, I loved the property, wonderful secluded location, peaceful and refined. One of the few places in Puglia that is actually worth 5* - a real gem."

"Super comfortable bed and beautiful building with great aesthetics. Not close to town centre but that would not matter for everyone. "

"Amazing hotel in Old Gallipoli town. Excellent service and clean, stylish rooms. Parking is available outside the Old Town, however, during the ultra peak August season you may need to park 15-20 minutes walk away."

"Wonderful. For us; perfect. Beautifully appointed in a minimalist style. All rooms open onto the pool but in such a way that there is complete privacy…rooms are set back underneath a gorgeous canopy of vines in an L shaped colonnade. There were never more than half a dozen people at the pool, which is enormous. The bedrooms have quiet air conditioning (only turned it on at night) and the beds are THE most comfortable with nice, firm mattresses. We ate dinner on one occasion and it was excellent. A lovely setting. We had lunch twice and again, it was just what we wanted. Because most people seem to dine elsewhere, the menus are naturally limited in scope but suited our needs completely. The staff, particularly Allesandro, could not have been nicer. They were always there to anticipate our needs. The location was also perfect…15 minutes to Mesagne, which is a lovely town. 25 minutes to Lecce and about the same to Brindisi. I could not recommend Masseria Malvindi highly enough. If you’re looking to unwind in a quiet and very pleasant environment; this certainly would be top of the list. "

"The hotel was in such an excellent location giving the best of sunsets. Gallipoli was one of our special stops in Apulia❤️"

"Beautiful place, restaurant and bar are great, wonderful restaurant people, but those working at reception give little information and they don't have pool towels.."

"Not what I was expected. I know we came during off season but in May. The winery seem to be well known in the area but it wasn't open. They don't really have staff in attendance, but you can always reach them by email or phone if you have local cell phone. They use an app to access the gate into the venue unfortunately that our connection wasn't always the greatest and we needed to ask our friend to open the gate for us. We only saw one or two other guests in the hotel so it is really too quiet without staff around. "
