L'Acchiatura
Delicious cuisine from Puglia, including excellent orecchiette pasta with clams and chickpeas, served in a delightful ambience with a number of different rooms and internal patios. The same traditional atmosphere is evident in the attractive, well - equipped guestrooms, as well as in the picturesque swimming pool housed in a grotto.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.2/5 · 80 reviews
Located in Melissano within an ancient 12th-century monastery, L'Acchiatura offers a charming atmosphere with intricate details. Reviews highlight traditional Apulian cuisine, particularly delightful Salento appetizer platters, seafood first courses, and local rosé wines, supported by generally friendly service. However, recent feedback indicates inconsistency, with some guests reporting mediocre food quality, limited choices for main courses, less fresh fish, and reduced portions. While the ambiance remains a strong point, the dining experience varies, with some noting a decline in culinary standards compared to past visits. It suits travelers seeking historic settings and traditional flavors, though expectations regarding current food consistency should be managed.
Ideal for diners seeking historic ambiance and traditional Apulian cuisine, with attention to daily freshness.
