About this villa rental
A spacious three bedroom villa on a private, walled plot with your own large 12 x 8 mtr private pool (1.0-2.1m deep) with diving board (typically open late May-Sept). Surrounded by orange, lemon and fig trees, Villa Montivicoli is ideal for families or sharing couples who want a little more room. The property has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, air-conditioning, a washing machine and dishwasher, espresso machine, home entertainment and wifi. The property benefits from both front and rear gardens, a car port, large shaded gazebo with table and a BBQ, the latter overlooking the pool for those long warm evenings.
Conveniently located 3 kms from the local town of Ceglie with stunning views of the surrounding area and sitting behind electric gates in its own private grounds, Villa Montivicoli has plenty for everyone to do. There is a TV/DVD, stereo sytem, IPod jack and a selection of books and board games so everyone can enjoy themselves. Come and sit by the pool with that glass of wine or cold beer, look across the hillside, smell the citrus fruits in the garden and you can have a hassle free holiday in the warm sunshine.
For safety and security purposes there are 4 security cameras positioned outside the property: 2 to the rear covering the garden and car port; and 2 to the front covering the garage and pool area. These are only accessible to the owner and local manager when necessary, regarding unauthorised intrusions. Guests can monitor a live camera view from the kitchen but there are strictly no cameras inside the property. The owners fully comply with GDPR requirements
The town of Ceglie has an historical centre with a Ducal Castle, Cathedral and busy central plaza. There are numerous and very good restaurants and a cookery school. Ostuni, the "Citta Bianca" is just a 20 mins drive away, the beaches 30-60 minutes depending on your preferences.
Villa Montivicoli has no fixed changeover days so you can arrive and depart on any days.
You also have the added option of paying using your credit card or Pay Pal.
Villa Montivicoli is served by two local airports with both international and budget carriers (Ryanair & Easyjet) - Brindisi (45 mins) and Bari (80 mins) are the closest with Naples, where the flights are more frequent and usually cheaper only 3.5 hours drive away.

We had a great holiday! The house is extremely comfortable and the pool is a delight. The location is rural, private, secure and within easy reach of Ceglie.The agents met us on arrival and ensured they were on hand in case of any difficulties. Problems did materialise during our two week stay when the water pump failed to operate (the house is not on mains water), but the agents arrived within a very short space of time and quickly sorted it.We thought the house represented fabulous value for money. Some previous reviewers criticised the downstairs bathroom, and whist it is definitely 'different' we easily coped. We are family of 4, all between 5'11 and 6'5 (1.8m and 1.96m).The front garden is a work in progress, but even if it was complete we would never have used it - the rear space with the patios, gazebo and pool is where all the action is.The only changes we would have liked, and thought would be beneficial, are a refresh of the garden and patio furniture with items of a sturdy and more premium nature. I was also a little apprehensive when using the barbeque as it seems far too close to very dry vegetation and trees, and I was worried (during some winds) that the whole place could go up.These are all minor points though. The house catered really well for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We would definitely return, and we recommend it to others.

We had a really nice time. The house is also only a 10 minute drive from Ceglie and is a great base to explore Puglia. There are a lot of lovely villages worth seeing within a 20-30 minute drive, and both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas are not more than an hour's drive away. The pool was great and the gazebo offered nice shade for lunch.
The kitchen is well-equipped, the living room has DVDs, books, and games (in English), and each room has a fan. We had cable extensions with us so we could charge our devices and I would recommend bringing some, as Italian holiday homes to do not seem to have many electrical outlets in the bedrooms.
WiFi and cell reception is a bit slow, but this has been our experience in all houses/areas in Southern Italy in the summertime. Our teenagers downloaded movies/series whilst we were out eating or overnight, so they always had something to entertain them in the evening.
Martin and Sharron who manage the house were great and checked up on us regularly to see if we needed anything and supplied us with plenty of tips for eating and sightseeing.
We would definitely like to come back!
