Rooms
However, there are some inconsistencies in the experiences reported. While the spaces are generally spacious and comfortable, a few rooms have been noted for being somewhat outdated and in need of renovation, particularly the bathrooms. There are instances where the rooms did not match the pictures seen during booking, which led to disappointment. Moreover, cleanliness standards occasionally varied, though most guests found their rooms adequately maintained.
A few other drawbacks mentioned include occasional missing amenities, dated furnishings and the variability in room allocation compared to what was booked online. Despite these issues, the general consensus is that the rooms are enjoyable, well-kept and provide a pleasant stay, especially for families or those appreciating larger spaces with a rustic charm. The on-site amenities, like the good-sized swimming pool and the restaurant, enhance the stay, making Masseria Zanzara a notable choice for accommodations close to the beaches.
Beds
However, issues have also been noted. Several guests reported uncomfortable sleeping conditions with some describing the mattresses as hard and the pillows as thin and not very welcoming. There are mentions of sagging mattresses, creaking beds and old, hard beds that could use renovation. Specific concerns include mattresses that were too firm or sagged, bedspreads that were dusty and the discomfort of beds composed of two single mattresses of different heights. It's clear that while some guests were satisfied, there's a consistent thread of discomfort and a need for bed quality improvements.
Cleanliness
Positive mentions extend to the clean garden and surrounding areas with the pool described as situated in a nice environment. The accommodations include clean bathrooms and well-kept spaces, adding to the welcoming atmosphere of the property.
However, there are areas highlighted for improvement. Some guests have noted outdated decor and worn bed linens with occurrences of stained sheets and old, stained furniture being mentioned. There are a few reports of cleanliness issues upon arrival, such as a dead moth in the shower tray and partially clogged drains. Moreover, cleanliness around the pool area and the presence of wasps and ants near the pool and rooms were points of concern for some guests.
In conclusion, while Masseria Zanzara is praised for its clean and welcoming structure, there remains room for enhancement, particularly in maintaining consistent high standards and updating older furnishings and decor.
Staff
Despite a few mentions of needed improvement in certain aspects of hospitality, the overall consensus emphasizes a positive experience with the hotel's personnel. The staff's readiness to cater to every need, their availability and their genuine kindness are recurrent themes in the reviews. Whether it's the detailed explanations about the structure and services upon arrival or the consistently friendly interactions throughout the stay, the dedication to guest satisfaction is evident.
From the breakfast service to the evening meals, the thoughtful and professional demeanor of the staff enhances the dining experience. The exceptional friendliness and helpfulness of the team members contribute significantly to the overall charm and appeal of the masseria, making it a standout feature that guests fondly remember.
Pool
Accessibility is another downside, as the pool is only open from the afternoon—ranging around 2 PM to 3 PM—until 9 PM. This schedule has been a letdown for those hoping to enjoy a morning swim. Additionally, some guests arrived to find the pool not open or out of order for initial days.
Despite these shortcomings, there were a few positive remarks; some guests found the pool to be a lovely spot for relaxation after a day at the beach. The overall sense, however, leans towards the need for better maintenance and more generous opening hours to match the picturesque image suggested in photos.
