Furnirussi Tenuta

We picked the Furnirussi Tenuta for our family of 4 because of the central location in Salento and the beautiful pictures of the property, but it was the property and service overall that blew us away. We intended to drive out to towns and beaches most days, but my wife and children begged to spend extra days on the property. The pool was just gorgeous and so peaceful. It was a setting unlike any other. The restaurant was outstanding and the staff so friendly. And the guestroom design was so smart and beautiful. We want to go back... soon. Really well done by the owner and the entire team.

Unfortunately, the manager uses the hotel to invite family, friends and girls who hang out by the pool and who he sits and eats lunch and dinner with every day (wearing shorts and t-shirt) not quite the standard you look for when booking 5 stars. It is a beautiful setting but the rooms are getting tired and were not well cleaned. Denying guests to stay at the pool after check-out and then inviting 15 non-hotel guests but family members to hang out by the pool is beyond criticism. The hotel has potential but needs a new manager who looks after the best interests of the guests and does not use the place for personal use. To not put free bottles of water every day (or ever) is also poor and not five star. The breakfast has a wonderful lady who is in charge of coffee and the the guy who is in charge of drinks who used to live in Denmark is also fantastic and very friendly.

Staff were amazing. Took the time to entertain our one year old daughter. Pool was great for little kids. Top place to relax and enjoy the sunshine We will be back!
