Amazing ! Adorable people all around ! Beautiful places in Grottaglie ! Would love to come back !

So lovely. We met a 93 year old artist and a studio that makes huge jars bigger than my husband. Very pleasant stop at the purgatory bar after.

If you go to Grottaglie this is the place you MUST visit. A street of artisan botteghe producing handmade ceramic masterpieces. You can find beautiful pieces for everyone taste. From classic ceramic to astonishing modern pieces. A couple of bar can offer you a drink and a snack in the hottest hour of the day or just to sit and admire the beauty of what you have around.

Incredible town for all pottery lovers

Tourist trap with multiple shops. Did purchase two small ornamennts. A couple places had staff painting the partially dry base prior to kilning. Most shops asked that no pictures or videos be taken. Not sure why??? Some pieces looked very interesting but too big to transport back home. Definitely a quality difference between shops. Be careful, shop several stores first then go back after you have noticed the variances.

Lovely experience - some fantastic artistry. Many shops sell the same but there are some that are clearly artisansz

Wonderful place for wonderful ceramics art!

The old town is much more impressive, very small you can skip it, just visit local manufacturers in old town.

It’s something to do, but if you do not read Italian it is a real waste of 6 euro. All the museum placards are in Italian and no options for other languages. Pretty ceramics, but without the history it was like walking a ceramics store. Walk to the front door, marvel at the spectacular view and then save yourself some money.

A quick and easy tour of the ceramic museum. It’s inexpensive and situated right inside the castle walls.

There is a good overview of the ceramic expansion during the centuries, how the shapes, the uses and the decorations changed. What is completely missing is the modern part, what the ceramics became today, the artistic part, the futuristic choice of paintings, subjects and decorations. They are all around the museum in the closeby quarter, they just have to add to the rest. Let's hope for the future!

Wrong operatimg hours. Closes at 18

interesting collection of ceramics from the prehistoric time to nowadays

amazing find! such history in a very intimate setting!

Worth a visit! Great guided tour by the owner of the house. Exciting details and stories.

M A G I C O!

(Translated by Google) The place is interesting, engaging and fascinating at the same time. Mr. Mimmo contributes to making it universal and, with his documentary filmmaker's voice, enriches every detail in which the historical and human anecdotes are imbued. Don't miss this very pleasant and rare experience which makes the tour around the ceramics district of Grottaglie even richer (Original) Il luogo è interessante, coinvolgente ed affascinante al tempo stesso. A renderlo universale contribuisce il Signor Mimmo che, con la sua voce da documentarista, arricchisce ogni dettaglio di cui sono intrisi gli aneddoti storici e umani. Non perderti questa piacevolissima e rara esperienza che rende ancora più ricca di esperienza il giro nel quartiere delle ceramiche di Grottaglie

(Translated by Google) Guided tour and stories! An experience I highly recommend. (Original) Visita guidata e racconti! Un’esperienza che consiglio a 360*

(Translated by Google) A charming, well-kept place. A must-see and listen to the owner describe the entire history of this magical place. I highly recommend it. I had the opportunity to visit this place during a painting exhibition. Even more magical. (Original) Luogo suggestivo molto curato Assolutamente da visitare e farvi descrivere dal proprietario tutta la storia di questo magico posto Consiglio vivamente Ho avuto modo di visitare questo luogo durante una mostra di pittura Ancora più magico

(Translated by Google) Truly disappointing. At least in my case, the visit didn't live up to the local guides' reviews. The young lady takes you to see rooms in a house filled with ceramic relics without any historical trivia, technical information, or archaeological details. Perhaps the little church is worth it, but definitely not the €10 they asked for. My financier friend looked askance at me and the other nine paying visitors 😂 (Original) Davvero deludente. Almeno nel mio caso la visita non ha rispettato le recensioni delle local guides.. la signorina ti porta a vedere stanze di una casa piene di cimeli ceramici senza qualche curiosità storica, un accenno tecnico o archeologico. Forse la chiesetta merita, ma assolutamente non i 10€ richiesti a mano. Il mio amico finanziere ha guardato male me e gli altri nove visitatori paganti 😂

(Translated by Google) It is useless to write that the church opens at 4.30pm if it is not opened. Unfortunately it doesn't make a very good impression because it is already the third church that I find closed. (Original) Inutile scrivere che la chiesa apre alle 16:30 se non viene aperta. Purtroppo non si fa proprio una bella figura perché è già la terza chiesa che trovo chiusa.

(Translated by Google) Hints... His preaching attracted large crowds and men and women flocked to his confessional; it is said that every year four hundred "hardened sinners" changed their lives thanks to him. Healings were attributed to his ministry, which he always referred to the intercession of St. Cyrus, to whom he was deeply devoted. (Original) Cenni... La sua predicazione attirava grandi folle e uomini e donne si accalcavano presso il suo confessionale; si dice che ogni anno quattrocento “peccatori incalliti” cambiassero vita per merito suo. Al suo ministero vennero attribuite guarigioni, che egli sempre riferì all’intercessione di S. Ciro, al quale era profondamente devoto.

(Translated by Google) Ancient church in the historic center, the place where St. Francis stayed, and its pastries, all in marble, with frescoes depicting the life of Jesus, and the Bible, well kept, our Don Franco parish priest of the church, welcomes many young people with the organizations of religious events, and also of leisure, in fact it is thanks to him that the carnival is organized in our country, thus bringing together many young people in a community to visit.

(Translated by Google) Parco della Civiltà (Nature, Wellbeing, Fun) Nature is completely left to itself, without any kind of care, with weeds, broken glass and so on and so forth. Wellbeing: it could have been an opportunity to have a proper PARK, which welcomed both families and athletes, a place to relax and do activities and given the conditions in which it concerns, this is not possible. Fun: The only fun you might have is trying to guess how long the bar will stay open (which in my opinion was not the highlight of the park) or whether a new species of life will pop up in the dirt. But we continue to waste money on public works that are neglected, as has already happened widely for many years (Original) Parco della Civiltà ( Natura, Benessere, Divertimento) La natura è completamente lasciata a se stessa, senza alcun tipo di cura, con erbacce, vetri rotti e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Benessere: poteva essere l' occasione per avere un PARCO come si deve, che accogliesse sia famiglie che sportivi, un posto dove rilassarsi e fare attività e viste le condizioni in cui verte non è possibile. Divertimento: l' unico divertimento che potresti avere è cercare di indovinare quanto tempo rimarrà aperto il bar ( che doveva essere a mio parere non il punto forte del parco) o se nella sporcizia salterà fuori una nuova specie di vita. Ma continuiamo a sperperare soldi in opere pubbliche che vengono trascurate, come già successo ampiamente per molti anni

(Translated by Google) park with rides and lawns for the little ones, bar with outdoor tables in a very beautiful location that hosts events and shows. Very nice dog area (Original) parco con giostrine e prati per i più piccoli, bar con tavolini all'aperto in una location molto bella che accoglie manifestazioni e spettacoli. Area cani molto carina

(Translated by Google) A large park suitable for adults and children, with an area dedicated to children's games, a relaxation area, a large space, served by a pizzeria, where shows and entertainment are offered for all ages. There is also a fitness trail, marked by special signs that suggest exercises to be performed free body or using the equipment installed. The place is very popular, especially with young people and very young people. An excellent example of how to redevelop a place in a state of abandonment. Congratulations to the municipal administration. I give 4 stars only because I have not yet had the opportunity to try the products served by the pizzeria. (Original) Un ampio parco adatto a grandi e piccoli, con una zona dedicata ai giochi per bambini, un'area relax, un ampio spazio, servito da una pizzeria, in cui sono proposti spettacoli e intrattenimento per tutte le età.

Il luogo è molto frequentato, in particolare da giovani e giovanissimi. Un ottimo esempio di come riqualificare un luogo in stato di abbandono. Complimenti all'amministrazione comunale. Do 4 stelle solo perché non ho ancora avuto modo di provare i prodotti serviti dalla pizzeria.

(Translated by Google) The kindness of the manager Alessio and the entire staff is... disarming and makes up for some initial "naivety". I believe that a different play of light would increase its appeal by at least 50%. The live music was remarkable and combined with a really fair quality/price ratio makes it a place to visit. (Original) La gentilezza del responsabile Alessio e del personale tutto é... disarmante e sopperisce ad alcune "ingenuità" di avviamento. Credo che un gioco di luci diverso ne incrementerebbe l'appeal del 50% minimo. La musica dal vivo è stata notevole e unita a un rapporto qualità/prezzo davvero equo ne fa un locale da frequentare.

(Translated by Google) Inside the church there is a nativity scene created by Stefano da Putignano, very beautiful, original in its creation and specificity. It is possible to see and even photograph the interior of the Church every day, the altar restored about 20 years ago, has black and white images that act as a frame. Looking at the altar, on the right side there is a fresco hammered during the restoration, also on the right side there is the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, with an altar and recently restored wooden frame. In front of the church there is the chapel of the Confraternita del Carmine, beautiful, it preserves paintings, statues and history of Carmel. (Original) All'interno della chiesa si trova un presepe realizzato da Stefano da Putignano, molto bello, originale nella sua realizzazione e fattispecie. È possibile vedere e anche fotografare tutti i giorni l'interno della Chiesa , l'altare restaurato circa 20 anni fa, presenta delle immagini in bianco e nero che fanno da cornice. Guardando l'altare, sul lato destro si trova un'affresco martellato durante il restauro, sempre sul lato destro c'è la cappella del Santissimo, con altare e cornice lignea restaurata di recente. Difronte alla chiesa si trova la cappella della Confraternita del Carmine, bellissima, conserva dipinti, statue e storia del Carmelo.

(Translated by Google) I rediscovered the warmth of this place after years spent in another Protestant community; which has revealed itself to be more and more Pharisaic, one of all they slander those they call brothers and sisters, even as criminals and if you point it out to them, you're the crazy one. But the truth is the daughter of God and time, in fact there is a general stampede, only those who have a conflict of interest remain. Here we truly do good to others with works without a double purpose. (Original) Ho riscoperto il calore di questo luogo dopo anni passati in un'altra comunità protestante;rivelatasi sempre più farisea, una fra tutte fanno maldicenza su coloro che chiamano fratelli e sorelle, addirittura da penale e se glielo fai notare la matta sei tu. Ma la verità è figlia di Dio e del tempo, difatti c'è un fuggi fuggi generale sono rimasti solo coloro che hanno conflitto d'interesse.Qui si fa veramente del bene al prossimo con opere senza doppio fine.

(Translated by Google) The construction of the church and the convent of the same name dates back to the early 16th century. The façade, rebuilt in the 18th century, is marked by pilaster strips, large windows, statues, divided into two orders and ends with a curved tympanum. The interior has three naves: a central one that ends in the large presbytery with a wooden choir and a nineteenth-century canvas of the Madonna del Carmine, and two lateral ones in which eight chapels open. A ninth chapel with an octagonal dome is located to the side of the presbytery, in line with the right nave: the imposing baroque altarpiece in blue and gold polychrome wood enhances the beautiful seventeenth-century canvas of the Madonna del Carmine among the Saints Alberto da Trapani, Angel of Sicily and Peter Thomas. The last chapel of the left nave, dedicated to San Michele Arcangelo, houses the valuable polychrome stone nativity scene attributed to Stefano da Putignano and built around 1530. The cloister of the convent is beautiful, whose cross vaults are supported by tall Doric columns with round arches. The lunettes are decorated with frescoes, in excellent condition, which represent biblical scenes from the cycle of the prophet Elijah. There is also a crypt presumably belonging to a pre-existing underground church. (Original) La costruzione della chiesa e dell' omonimo convento risale ai primi anni del '500. La facciata, rifatta nel '700, si presenta scandita da lesene, finestroni, statue, divisa in due ordini e termina con un timpano curvilineo. L' interno ha tre navate: una centrale che termina nel grande presbiterio con coro ligneo e tela ottocentesca della Madonna del Carmine, e due laterali in cui si aprono otto cappelle. Una nona cappella con cupola ottagonale è posta di lato al presbiterio, in linea con la navata destra: l'imponente macchina d'altare barocca in legno policromo azzurro e oro esalta la bella tela seicentesca della Madonna del Carmine tra i Santi Alberto da Trapani, Angelo di Sicilia e Pietro Tommaso. L' ultima cappella della navata sinistra, dedicata a San Michele Arcangelo, ospita il pregevole Presepe in pietra policroma attribuito a Stefano da Putignano e realizzato intorno al 1530. Bello il chiostro del convento, le cui volte a crociera sono sostenute da alte colonne doriche con archetti a tutto sesto. Le lunette sono decorate con affreschi, in ottimo stato di conservazione, che rappresentano scene bibliche del ciclo del profeta Elia. È presente anche una cripta presumibilmente appartenente ad una preesistente chiesa ipogea.

(Translated by Google) The architectural and artistic beauty of ancient value becomes prayerful contemplation, elevating the spirit in a silence whose gaze travels in the wonder of the divine! (Original) La bellezza architettonica ed artistica di antichissimo valore si fa contemplazione orante elevando lo spirito in un silenzio il cui sguardo viaggia nella meraviglia del divino!

(Translated by Google) A well-kept place, particularly in these days the brotherhood has the duty of worshiping at the altar of the Reposition, of the Blessed Sacrament. Brothers and sisters alternate, always present, kneeling, to offer their prayer so that the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ defeats death and with the Resurrection gives new Life to the entire world. (Original) Luogo ben curato, particolarmente in questi giorni la confraternita ha l'onere di adorazione all'altare della Reposizione, del Santissimo.

(Translated by Google) Small, great jewel of the 14th century of the artistic Grottaglie. Located in the ancient village a few steps from the ceramics district, in Piazza Regina Margherita. It has a single nave. The baroque chapel dedicated to San Ciro from 1709 with a dome and three altars is very beautiful. Equally beautiful is the marble altar from 1775. A special mention must be made for the ancient Renaissance organ from 1587. The acoustics are excellent. Worth visiting. (Original) Piccolo, grande gioiello del XIV secolo dell' artistica Grottaglie. Ubicata nel Borgo antico a pochi passi da quartiere delle ceramiche, nella piazza Regina Margherita. È a navata unica.

A beautiful place, very close to the ceramics quarter and great restaurants. The room was spotlessly clean and had a small fridge with cold drinks at a very reasonable price. Breakfast was AMAZING, fresh organic fruit, local artisan yogurts and a big pillowy croissant. I would happily stay again for the friendly service and perfect place to stay in Grottaglie!

I want to say a very big thank you to all of the team here at Le Maioliche B&B. On my recent trip, I fell ill from food poisoning on my flight over. I was extremely poorly and unable to go and get myself any supplies. It turns out I didn’t have to as they went above and beyond to help me. They brought me medication, water and food to my room. Also allowing me to book on for an extra day so I can rest before my late flight home. Not only this but they also provided Transfers for me even accommodating when my flight was 5 1/2 hours delayed changing pick up time to gone midnight. The room was great, roof terrace was great, breakfast I never had a chance to try, but I’m sure it would’ve been fab! Thank you again and I hope to see you soon x

I was in Grottaglie on business travel but would easily recommend this accommodation for a vacation stay. The rooms were spacious, clean, and quiet. The owner was very helpful when I asked for her to recommend the best ceramic shops. I’ll be back!

Most likely the best B&B in Grottaglie (centro storico). The location is ideal and it is a mix of historical design and new forniture. Really well done from a design prospective! The rooms were perfect but we didn’t like the fact that air conditioning was already set without any possibility to adjust the temperature. We totally agree on the green/eco-friendly mindset, but in Puglia with 40 degrees it is not acceptable to not being able to manage the temperature. Coming to the service, here we got a bit disappointed. The staff has been kind with us but they are too precise and kind of “jealous” of this place. A couple of small things left us bitter taste and the final experience turned out to be not 5 stars, as we expected. For instance, one night the air conditioning didn’t work in all rooms and the day after the staff blame on us saying that we disabled it from the meter… Overall, we had a nice stay, but the service was not good enough given those small things that went wrong. I really hope that the team will take the review as an opportunity to do better in the future because this B&B has everything right to provide a 5 star experience.

Beautiful place. New, clean, perfect in every detail. Great owner who cares about guests very much. Perfect location in a beautiful neighborhood. In addition, it is close to all other cities and tourist attractions of Puglia.

Le Maioliche is a beautiful and elegant b&b in Grottaglie. We enjoyed the cleanliness of the room, the beauty of the terrasse for the breakfast and the splendid view from the rooftop terrasse. Service was both very kind and professional. A place to stay in Grottaglie.

Beautiful B&B in a great location for the ceramics quater. The staff were really accommodating and helpful and made our stay very comfortable. Would recommend.

(Translated by Google) One of the churches, indeed the most beautiful of all the churches we have in Grottaglie. It remained linked to its initial origins. It seems that time has stopped.

(Translated by Google) After a few years spent in a Protestant community that has revealed itself to be increasingly Pharisaic, where they steal from you and enchant you for your search for God, and when you discover who they really are it takes a lot of strength to get past them, thanking God I succeeded together with others, because God comes to liberate. Once those individuals have been unmasked, they implement a defamatory campaign known to all, as they have also done it with others. GOD is God and always brings out the truth. In fact, there was a general stampede, only those with the conflict of interest remained. In this place, in addition to appreciating the structure full of history, it gives you an atmosphere of intimate contemplation, and makes you feel that God does justice in everything. (Original) Dopo alcuni anni passati in una comunità protestante rivelatasi sempre più farisea, dove ti rubano e ti ammaliano per la tua ricerca di Dio, e quando scopri chi siano realmente ci vuole tanta forza per usvirsene, ringraziando Dio ci sono riuscita insieme ad altri, perché Dio viene a liberare. Una volta smascherati quei soggetti mettono in atto una campagna diffamatoria conosciuta da tutti, in quanto lo hanno fatto anche con altri. DIO è Dio e fa venir fuori sempre la verità. Difatti, c'è stato un fuggi fuggi generale, sono rimasti solo chi ha il conflitto di interesse. In questo luogo, oltre ad apprezzare la struttura piena di storia ti dona un'atmosfera di intimo raccoglimento, e fa sentire che Dio fa giustizia di ogni cosa.

(Translated by Google) In the countryside of Grottaglie, an oasis of peace.

A municipal house is open to everyone, an asset of the municipality if you pay... if you are part of an association... and so on you can use it.

(Translated by Google) Managed by an exalted and incompetent priest, in the series he demanded that I turn towards the altar, forbidding me to look at the organist while he was playing, then, not satisfied, he stopped the mass to make me maintain a safe distance between me and my brother of at least two meters even though we were from the same family and with masks. He can't see me anymore. If it had been up to me I wouldn't have even given him the money for the offer because I had only pronounced my father's name (Cosimo) and without having spent any money. phrase of circumstance To remember him on the anniversary of his death. Bad example for the faithful, the church has now lost a lot of credibility 😔 (Original) Gestita da un prete esaltato ed incapace,della serie ha preteso che mi voltassi verso l'altare vietandomi di guardare l'organista mentre suonava,poi non contento ha fermato la messa x farmi mantenere le distanze di sicurezza tra me e mio fratello di almeno due metri nonostante fossimo della stessa famiglia e con mascherine.Li a me non mi ci vede più.Fosse stato x me non gli avrei dato neanche i soldi dell'offerta x aver solo pronunciato il nome di mio padre(Cosimo) e senza aver speso alcuna frase di circostanza Per ricordarlo nell'anniversario di morte.Brutto esempio x i fedeli,ormai la chiesa ha perso molto di credibilità 😔

(Translated by Google) Let me start by saying that we grow in life. And there is an age to everything. But about my experience knowing like many others so as not to be hypocritical.

Ed a tutto c'è una età. Ma del mio vissuto sapendo come tanti per non essere ipocriti. La fede è una cosa interiore . Il protagonismo specialmente nella festa e micidiale . Specialmente di alcune persone . Specialmente nella morte dei familiari.

A beautiful example of a medieval Italian castle.

Located near the famous district of ceramics, in the oldest part of the village, the castle of Grottaglie was for centuries a symbol of the feudal power of the bishops of Taranto. Its historical stratification is still uncertain. At the beginning of the 15th century, however, the existence of the main internal tower, of the fortified walls, of the two curtain towers and of the rooms on the first floor destined to the residence of the archbishop remained plausible. Today the castle is characterized by the presence of the ancient internal tower (over 28 meters) divided on four independent floors between them and the main building, where the episcopium was located, with an internal loggia. The seat of the Museum In the south-east wing, inside the rooms formerly used as stables, today there is an important Ceramics Museum: inside it there are numerous ceramic articles of domestic and ornamental use, representative of the local tradition.

Beautiful but too expensive for the experience. €12 + €4 to see the underground.

Houses the ceramic museum €5 each to enter. Times for summer opening from 29th June to 29 September

Nice ceramics museum and Also fun activity for childrens.

Another castle but I love them!
