The pool and garden areas were really nice and clean. Communication with Rocco was very good and our needs were responded quickly. One evening we enjoyed a delicious dinner made by Rocco. The accommodation could do some updating and for 10 people the indoor space is quite small, if it rains. However, we had a very good holiday and we enjoyed it very much.

Good communication with Rocco and very quick responses to questions. Rocco is a welcoming host and has a beautiful home. The pool is the star of the property with plenty of space to chill outside. The surrounding garden was immaculate and enhanced the beauty of the space. The property was very clean. The location was ideal with a supermarket nearby. The nearby town had bars, cafes, bakeries and a gelato shop. Ideally located to discover the nearby beaches. Rocco organised a boat trip for us to explore the caves. Highly recommend staying here.

The contact with the owner was impeccable, the villa was very nice also the rooms. The furnishings & bathrooms are a bit outdated. The pool and grounds are great, we enjoyed it

Our two week stay was all we wanted it to be. We explored surrounding towns of St.M. de Leuca, Castro, Lecce, Gallipoli and many other tiny villages surrounding the villa. The locals were all welcoming, friendly, always ready to assist us and in so many instances showered us with small gifts like fresh lemons and other produce, local wines, and regional olive oil! To explore as we did, a car is a must, as only one seaside town in within a 30 minute walk. We requested to have some meats, cheeses and wine available upon our arrival since we arrived about 2200 and our host, Rocco, had a marvelous spread for us that filled the long kitchen table. What a feast!! Thank you, Rocco. And thank you also for being available to us whenever we had questions or concerns. At one time the villa must have been quite grand; it is now a bit "tired". The sun and rain shelters leak; outdoor furniture, for the most part is wobbly and rusted; the pool bar area is not usable, nor were the grill and fire pit. But in a way this added to the charm of the villa because it didn't have the five star hotel "stuffiness". The pictures of the villa were misleading in that the staging was far superior to the actual condition of the property as a whole and must of have been taken many years ago. We spent many relaxing hours around the pool which is the highlight of the property and if your stay is a short one, can provide sufficient fun for the whole family without having to leave the villa. Arrivederci !
