Santa Maria di Merino Sanctuary

Resort is incredibly beautiful. Most if the staff were very friendly. However the keycard I had to purchase for 30e did not work at restaurant and bar. And the property is very large. I was directed back to the check in twice which was annoying the second time. And they don’t accept cash or visa. Just the key card. I had no choice but to order the buffet- a la carte was no available. Aside from this I enjoyed my short 1 night stay. Ps no one answers the phone, tv remote doesn’t work and neither did AC

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Torre Bianca, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the entire hotel staff made us feel incredibly welcome and attended to our every need with genuine warmth and professionalism. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction truly stood out. Our suite was nothing short of spectacular, elegantly designed and impeccably clean, with stunning views that made each morning a delight. It provided a perfect sanctuary after our adventures. The location of Villa Torre Bianca was ideal for exploring the enchanting region of Puglia. We easily accessed charming towns, breathtaking coastlines, and delicious local cuisine, making it the perfect base for our explorations. While I won’t name specific individuals, as I would hate to inadvertently leave anyone out, I must emphasize that every member of the staff was impressive and contributed to making our stay unforgettable. If you’re looking for a wonderful experience in Puglia, Villa Torre Bianca is the place to be!

From the moment we walked in the door Alessandro and staff made us feel wonderfully welcome. Romano was there with a welcome drink, Federica with a hand massage…fantastico. The property was absolutely stunning and well maintained. We were upgraded to a beautiful suite and the daily breakfast was rich with both international hot options and local classics-served in a beautiful dining room leading out to the gardens-by a friendly and efficient staff member. We didn’t get her name unfortunately. The two front desk staff were also very helpful. The pictures and description of this Villa do not do the place justice. Highly recommended.
