The property was a dream. We spent our days by the pool or at lidos by the sea and our nights exploring gorgeous towns surrounding the charming Martina Franca. The food options surrounding the property were limitless and our host, Jackie, gave us the best recommendations. We could not have asked for a more wonderful stay.

Our criteria for a villa were a) large enough to fit our group and b) walking distance to cafes etc. That’s surprisingly hard to find! I found this place and booked it, thinking it looked a bit quirky and having modest expectations. We were so surprised and delighted! Instead of being a cheesy replica as I suspected, the villa is a genuine palazzo with incredible original features! And the grounds are huge and beautifully gardened. The pool is sparkling, inviting and fresh. The whole thing is a dream. But on top of that it’s right in the middle of a neighborhood and just a couple of blocks from several cafes and 10 minutes walk to the charming old town of Martina Franca. (We LOVED Martina Franca.) If you don’t want to hear the sound of people and cars while you swim, or you want beautiful vistas and a sense of rural charm, this place isn’t for you. But if you want a luxe villa that still feels private but had almost immediate access to restaurants, shops and busy piazzas full of Italian life, this is the spot. We loved had an amazing week, many thanks to Jackie and Giuseppe and “our neighbors” in Martina Franca!

We rented the villa with 2 other couples and it was a fabulous stay! The place is stunning and best part it I’m right in town. Jackie the property manager is great and communicated with us promptly, Only suggestion I had was to provide toiletries since we were coming international and had to run out in the morning to purchase. Other than that tiny detail, this is one of the best villas and accommodates 10 people very comfortably!! We hired the chef Lucrezia one night based on Jackie’s reccomendation and she was excellent!

There are no words. Villa Valeria (the castle as we liked to call it) was spectacular. The inside was clean, bathrooms modern, bedrooms a good size, air-conditioning in all the bedrooms, and the outdoor area was stunning. Our property manager, Jackie, was just lovely to deal with. So were Giuseppe and Donatella, who took care of the property while we were there. Jackie had great recommendations for places to eat, things to do, and was very responsive. Everything she recommended was spot on. We also had her select and deliver some wines for us - outstanding selection. I highly recommend this property and Puglia Holiday Rentals. Thank you, Jackie, for a magical stay.

We could not have asked for a more helpful host Jackie went over and above expectations helping us plan the week. She arranged restaurants for us for dinner, and even arranged a private cook to come to the villa to prepare two dinners based on local recipes The villa and grounds are impeccably maintained , and the location is central for day trips. The house is like a fairytale castle with spacious rooms, and comfortable furniture. Restaurants are walkable. Don’t miss restaurant Coco Pazzo- the best meal in Puglia

It’s difficult to describe how good this property is, marvellous, stunning, fantastic, all of them are correct. It’s the enormity of the property and grounds that’s difficult to comprehend until you actually walk around the place. I would strongly recommend not playing hide and seek here….it could go on for days!! The kitchen had everything that we needed and the 2nd fridge is a great addition. The outdoor seating and dining areas are large and comfortable as you would expect. The ones to the front of the property were used every morning for breakfast whilst the ones at the rear were used in the afternoon and evening times. We rarely sat inside although there are several large dining tables spread across 3 different rooms should they be required in the cooler months. The pool, which is the longest and deepest I’ve used for quite sometime, was very welcome on those 30 degree sunny afternoons. OUR HOSTS Jackie greeted us on arrival and talked us through all of the important stuff and then gave us great information about Martina Franca and the local area. She also booked a restaurant an olive oil tasting and a taxi for us, which we do thank you for. Giuseppe was rarely seen but kept the place clean and tidy at all times….I suspect he’s a bit of an “early bird”.. Finally there are some great restaurants, bars and cafes within 15 mins walking distance, we particularly liked Gotha with its little garden court yard eating area. We did a couple of wine tastings, one in M Franca and one just a short drive away (this one included food), both are well worth a visit.if you want to try the local grapes. All in all a brilliant week, thanks Jackie and Giuseppe for all your help during our stay.

Our extended family of six adults (three couples) enjoyed the privilege of staying in this remarkable property for five days this September. It would be difficult to overstate the quality and scale of this villa. It truly is a castle. The pictures can’t capture the spaciousness of the interior, e.g. the height of the ceilings. We typically explored Puglia during the day returning to cool off in the pool in the late afternoon and cooking at home most evenings. The kitchen is more well equipped than any of the other seven rentals we’ve visited over the years. It’s a nice bonus to have the second fridge! As noted in the property description there is no AC for the ground floor bedrooms so that would be a nice addition if a proper solution presents itself. Location was nice for short walks to village facilities and we easily visited Alberobello, Monopoli, Torre Canne, Polignano, Ostuni, etc. Jackie was very helpful and readily available. We appreciated her helpful hints and professionalism. Giuseppe keeps the property looking great and was always busy but never intrusive. All in all, a fabulous stay! Thank you.

Beautiful property and home. Jackie is very responsive and Giuseppe (the property manager who lives on the property) is there when you need him, and takes immaculate care of the property. The photos truly do not give the home justice. We spent most of our time enjoying the pool area, which is like a little resort.
