After an endless research looking for a nice and relaxing place where to spend 2 or 3 days I came across Relais Masseria Villa Cenci and booked trough Tripadvisor facility a 2 nights stay. Apparently the server had overbooked the place but the owner Mrs. Bianco really tryed hard and managed to reshuffle the all lot. With great pleasure for... More

The hotel is situated in a nice area. The rooms, pool etc. are widely spread and give a nice atmosphere. The rooms are OK in terms of price value - they actually look better than they are (e.g. the shower looks great but doesn't work like expected - but not an issue). The main problem of the hotels is clearly,... More

It's not easy to find Relais Masseria Villa Cenci: ride from Cisternino in the direction of Ceglie Messapica and you will find a narrow street on your right-hand side that leads you to the hotel. A masseria is a farm house and this one exists of different buildings that all have their own characteritics. We were the only guests staying... More

The hotel is discreet and in good taste, the rooms large and comfortable, the swimming pool exceptionally wide and not crowded, and the position excellent for visiting the small towns of northern Apulia which are a delight. The restaurant is banal, alas. No culinary heights, but decent pensione food.

This summer we were given a book great escapes Italy and came across Villa Cenci. After looking at those marvelous photos and visiting its website our appetite was more than just stimulated. We cherished the wish to visit the region of Puglia for a long time and spontaneously decided to spend a couple of days there (we live in Switzerland... More

We loved this place. It's quite a sprawling complex set in beautiful, green grounds which are immaculately kept without feeling overly manicured. The hotel is made up of a collection of refurbished buildings, with the restaurant and some rooms in the old main building and some more rooms in the Trulli next door. We stayed in a Trullo which was... More

Villa Cenci is a great place to stay and visit Puglia. Our accommodation was in a Trulli, the common areas had a luxurious ambience, there was a great selection of food available for breakfast. The pool is fantastic one of the largest I have seen in a hotel, but in May it was relatively cold. The advantage of visiting Puglia... More

"Villa Cenci is a beautiful masseria perched on a lush green grassy knoll in Cisterino. To describe Villa Cenci is to define "Country Elegance"! We traveled to Puglia to explore this incredible Italian region, reputed for simplicity, ancient and natural beauty, the Negroamaro wines, and the Apulia pastas - orecchiette, cavetelli, and casareccia. As a group of six long time... More

Totally agree with the previous reviewers: This little hotel is really something special. Beautifully furnished, very clean and very friendly service. A very nice pool area in a large hotel garden - far enough from all everyday disturbances but still very conveniently located for discovering the area. We travelled with our son, and stayed in a suite which was just... More
