Boutique hotels offer a unique blend of intimate ambience, personalised service, and distinctive style. These establishments, often smaller in scale, contrast the uniformity of larger hotel chains. A boutique that left a lasting impression on us was Masseria Potenti. The property is vast; it isn't technically a hotel; it's a country house or masseria that offers core amenities and has several rooms available to reserve. We had an informal booking process, and the receptionist went above and beyond, helping us plan out every detail of our trip.
