It was our first time in Puglia and this property came just as advertised to make it a memorable trip for my family. The property was clean and well maintained and the pool was great. Maria the property manager was also fantastic and very helpful and accessible. Would highly recommend staying at this property. Thanks Ian!

The property, furnishings and pool more than delivered for my family and I (5 of us). All communication and assistance from Maria the property manager was truly excellent along with the owner’s incredibly useful, detailed and accurate notes about the local area. The pool is large and very well maintained. I could not recommend more strongly. Thank you so much.

The villa and its gardens/grounds were magnificent. We were two family’s with young children and there was so much to keep everyone entertained including a secret playground and a grotto! Would love to return.

What a find!
What a find!
We first booked in 2020 but were unable to make it out until June 2022. Ian the owner was so understanding and helpful before the trip and Maria is an angel…organising anything you need and a great font of knowledge and ideas about the area (as well as her mother being a fantastic cook, which we experienced at the house). A wonderful spot with every convenience in a beautifully furnished house with great facilities…what more could you ask for?

My family had a wonderful week-long stay, and we could have stayed even longer! The owner, Ian, was super responsive ahead of our stay, and sent plenty of recommendations to us. And Maria, the property manager, made sure we had everything we needed for a great trip! We even did 2 amazing & delicious chef dinners at the house (highly recommend)! Our group was 6 adults and 2 infants, and we had plenty of space in the house, and the location was great for the many day trips we took around Puglia - we went to 8 different cities in 8 days - there's so much to see! The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook at home many of the nights we were there (but obviously preferred when we were able to have chefs come cook for us :) and the property surrounding the home is just beautiful. It was a little too cold for us to actually go into the pool while we were there, but we did enjoy spending time out by the pool and playing bocce ball while sipping on afternoon Aperol spritzes! Overall, we had a great time staying in this awesome, historic home, and we would love to come back again in the future!
