A propos de ce villarental
Villa Cappelli, Enjoy an amazing stay in a beautifully restored villa on historic Via Appia.
Villa Cappelli vous promet un séjour inoubliable et authentique dans une partie vraiment inconnue de l'Italie. Détendez-vous et plongez dans l'indulgence italienne - la nourriture, les gens, le plaisir.
La Villa se trouve majestueusement sur l'ancienne Via Appia dans la ville de Terlizzi, juste au nord-ouest de Bari dans la région des Pouilles.
Personne ne sait exactement quand la villa a vu le jour, mais certains historiens pensent que le jardin était autrefois un jardin monastique du XIIIe siècle. Les bâtiments «agricoles» de la propriété datent probablement des XIVe et XVe siècles. Alors que les nouveaux ajouts ont probablement été construits au 17e ou au 18e siècle, un endroit particulier de la villa serait pré-chrétien.
La terre, remplie de fossiles d'il y a 10 millions d'années, est couverte d'anciennes oliveraies, de vignes et d'arbres fruitiers. La villa entière est entièrement clôturée par un mur de 18 pieds et dispose d'un jardin formel d'un demi-acre planté presque exclusivement d'arbres d'agrumes, de roses et de lavande.
Bien que chargée d'histoire, la villa propose également des équipements modernes comme une connexion Wi-Fi gratuite, une cuisine bien équipée, ainsi que des services de cuisine et de nettoyage.
Détendez-vous dans le confort avec beaucoup d'espace pour tous vos amis et votre famille. Il y a 10 chambres et 8 salles de bain complètes pouvant accueillir jusqu'à 20 personnes (pas plus de 20 personnes sauf accord préalable). Vous pouvez profiter de nombreuses salles communes et vous étendre pour profiter de l'ensemble de la structure de 22 000 pieds carrés (2000 mètres carrés). Chacun trouvera son espace préféré, avec des salles de lecture, une énorme cuisine complète avec un four à briques à bois, une extraordinaire grande terrasse avec une vue magnifique et une loggia qui surplombe la luxueuse piscine de 40x20 pi (12x6 mètres), et une immense jardin monastique plein d'agrumes et d'herbes fraîches. Vous trouverez également que la Villa Cappelli est idéalement située à proximité de nombreuses attractions majeures.
Vous pouvez louer la villa à la journée, à la semaine ou plus. Il est également disponible pour des réceptions privées, des fêtes, des banquets, des conférences et des fêtes.
Pendant votre séjour, vous aurez accès à une laveuse, un réfrigérateur, un lave-vaisselle, un four, un micro-ondes et plus encore. Un service de femme de chambre ainsi que des services de shopping et de cuisine sont également disponibles pour rendre votre séjour encore plus agréable.
Nous avons eu une gamme d'invités appréciant la villa du monde entier, y compris des membres de la famille royale britannique, Bob Tuschman de The Food Network, le célèbre photographe Paul Freeman, le metteur en scène et réalisateur de télévision Scott Ellis, la star de la télé-réalité Fredrik Ekland et le groupe de musique Elbow.
Donc, que vous cherchiez à vous détendre en famille ou à explorer avec des amis, vous pouvez créer des vacances parfaites ici à la Villa Cappelli.
Nous avons un petit appartement sur place, nous sommes donc toujours disponibles pour poser des questions et fournir des services de conciergerie. Nous parlons couramment l'anglais, l'italien et le dialecte local, et connaissons bien la région, nous pouvons donc vous aider avec tous les services de conciergerie dont vous pourriez avoir besoin, de la cuisine et du nettoyage à la location de fourgonnettes et aux réservations de dîner.
Vous ne trouverez nulle part ailleurs une expérience comme celle-ci.

We stayed at this gorgeous villa to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday. What an incredible week we had. The villa is stunning and huge and has plenty of space for our group of 14. The villa and rooms combined the old with the new. Every single room had its own charm. Steven the owner was so incredibly helpful in suggesting places to visit, restaurants and providing history. One day he took us into town to his favorite cheese shop with the most delicious mozzarella and ricotta cheese, to his butcher and the fruit and vegetable market in addition to a walking tour of Terlizzi. He cooked multi course authentic meals for the Puglia and Terlizzi regions. There were so many courses and so much food one dish better than the next. I could eat Steven and Vito’s cooking every single day. Their wine and after dinner drinks were also delicious. The villa has so much charm and beauty. We took day trips from the villa to explore all that Puglia has to offer. We made memories of a lifetime. Thank you Steven and Vito for every little thing. I hope one day we can go back. We loved our stay!

When food and friends are the occasion
I had the good fortune to visit Villa Cappelli with friends this late summer. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime visits I hope to repeat! I live in New York, so the chance to spend a few days with friends in the calm, stunning beauty of this villa was pure gold. My room was clean and beautiful, decorated with amazing taste (it turns out our host Paul has 'the eye' for thrift finds and amazing decor). From my window, I was amazed to watch an owl swoop across the garden one night, and hear the owls pip to one another after dusk. The plants, the vegetables, the fruitful trees, it is all so magnificent and reminds you of the simple pleasures of life all around you. Paul and Steven are the most excellent hosts, breakfast was always delicious and abundant, and since they didn't have many other guests when we were there, making lunch became an adventure we all got to take part in, riding into town to see the cappuccino lady, the bakery man, the mozzarella man, the butcher man, and the thrift store ladies (just for fun!) - Amazing to see this community in action and feel so welcome in it. Then lunch - each day, a new creation in the kitchen, a new delicacy to enjoy with friends around the table. Villa Cappelli has lots to see and do, it's historic and relaxing - but I have to say the food was the #1 for me. And the owls a close #2. :) We'll be back again for sure.

Our best big family holiday location yet
A holiday where everything was perfect. We were a large family group of 20+ ranging from 83-10 years old. The house is spectacular, as are the views of the surrounding olive groves, direct on the Appian Way. Just a few minutes drive from Terlizzi. It has a beautiful pool, large covered outdoor dinning area, cooled by fans, looking out onto the Roman gardens. The kitchen was fabulously stocked. Our hosts were incredibly generous, taking us shopping, giving us site seeing tips and generally making our stay extremely enjoyable. We will definitely come again. Thank you

Perfect Italian countryside retreat!
We just loved our stay at Villa Cappelli and hope to be back someday! We were traveling with 2 young kids (ages 6 and 1.5) in the off-season and Paul and Steven were so helpful in answering my many questions about anything we might need to bring for the girls (we didn't need to bring much--they supplied a crib for us, and put us in a wonderfully cozy adjoining-room suite. Paul and Steven are just the perfect hosts: laid-back but friendly, and incredibly sweet to our kids. My older daughter still refers to Paul as Uncle Paul and his amazing secret garden. The cats and the PUPPIES were the biggest hit of our entire trip. We even had a wonderful dinner prepared by our hosts on our last night--what a memorable and delicious treat! Hope to be back again when it's warm so we can lounge by that beautiful pool. Oh, a tip if you travel in the winter--definitely bring slippers and cozy pajamas/robe. The floors in the gorgeous old villa can get mighty cold!

We were treated like family. Can't wait to go back
Where do I start...I've been all over the world, on cruises, on tours, in B&B's, yet our trip to Villa Cappelli felt like no other vacation. It felt like coming home and spending 10 days with
Our family. And I think that's the highest compliment you can ever give. Paul, Steven & Casey went out of their way to make everyone feel like a relative. We really were "Italians" for 10 days.. From gathering wild mushrooms in the hills, to helping to harvest their liquid gold olive oil, to helping prepare classic meals..To even watching a late night "domino" game to biking thru ancient towns.. It was a dream come true. We will definitely return. I give it a 10 plus plus.. Mille Grazie Ville Cappelli

Wonderful!
Thank you for such an awesome week. We LOVED it there. The kids had the best time they have ever had in the 10 years they have been doing this. The kittens blew their minds. Indeed we all had the best time. Great food, amazing drinks and really great people all in a gorgeous location. I’ll be honest, we are always a little dubious about on site owners, we’ve had some odd experiences in the past but you guys really were the stars of the show. It was really great to meet you. We all agreed there were another few nights on the getting-to-know-you-Martinis in order.

A unique, authentic Italian experience
Our visit to Villa Cappelli was the highlight of our trip. We arrived on Mothers Day and were treated to an authentic Italian luncheon that included guests and family of our hosts, Paul & Steven. The homemade wine, fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden, Italian and English conversation made us feel like real Italians, not just tourists. The property dates back to the 6th century and maintains much of the original architecture but modern comforts like high end shower heads are integrated seamlessly into the setting.
Villa Cappelli is on the Appian way and there is plenty to do in the area. Paul graciously escorted us to several local spots and provided tons of facts and stories about the history of this locality. It is a post card perfect location that we would recommend to anyone.

What a day!
Ho conosciuto i proprietari della Villa Cappelli, Paul e Steven, per il loro impegno nella promozione turistica e la salvaguardia della Via Appia Traiana, sulla quale la Villa si affaccia. Sono stato così attratto dalla loro passione per il territorio che ho deciso di fare della Villa il set privilegiato per il mio matrimonio pugliese. Amo la Puglia, da tempo. Il clima, il cibo e l'accoglienza: Villa Cappelli ha riunito queste pregevoli virtù della tradizione del Sud Italia per poi consegnarle ai miei ospiti. Un matrimonio fantastico, ricolmo di cultura, attenzione e prodotti della terra.
Ho smosso mezzo universo per farlo venire a visitare questo luogo benedetto da Madre Natura, mancavano solo gli alieni! :-) Australia, Cina, Giappone, America, India e Europa... tutti ospiti a me cari che hanno goduto dello splendore del luogo. Paul e Steven sono stati unici, capaci di rendere il mio giorno davvero speciale e stupendomi con la semplicità, il gusto e l'eleganza dell'ambiente sereno e rustico da loro creato. Ero al settimo cielo, era proprio quello che volevo, la vera terra, la vera Puglia!
La cerimonia è iniziata tra gli ulivi, nella distesa di quegli alberi millenari che hanno assistito al nostro giuramento d'amore. I nostri ospiti seduti su sedie bianche di stoffa e i gentleman inglesi in piedi di spalle delle loro donne che reggendo un ombrellino bianco per ripararle dal sole. Davvero un tocco di classe! Allo scambio delle fedi tra gli applausi e l'emozione dei nostri cari, amici e colleghi, sono arrivati i suonatori di pizzica che con una fisarmonica ci hanno accompagnato all'ingresso della villa dove un catering professionale e preparato ha offerto ai miei ospiti le gioie della terra. Tutto il cibo era freschissimo e preparato a vista, sul momento. La mozzarella, il caciocavallo, i tanti tipi di panzerotti e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Era davvero una festa, e per me condividere la gioia di quel giorno e donarla anche ai miei ospiti è stato un momento importante.
Potrei continuare per ore nella descrizione di quell'incredibile giorno che mi accompagnerà per tutta la vita, ma in questa recensione volevo solo scrivere che questo è stato il posto da sogno che auguro ad ogni innamorato dell'universo, anche agli extraterrestri! :-)
Grazie di cuore Paul e Steven, evviva Villa Cappelli e il vostro palpabile amore per la bella terra di Puglia.

Villa Cappelli is AMAZING!
The first thing I remember when I think about Villa Cappelli are its owners, Paul and Steven. Not in memory have I ever felt so welcomed and included in the lives of these two perfect strangers. It just seemed like the moment I checked into the villa, I was part of the family, and the day to days activities that happen there: sometimes there is olive picking, other moments the lavender in the garden is being harvested or tomatoes are being dried on the terrace. This is a place for travellers to visit if they are into committed to seeing the real Italy, which is more about breaking bread with beautiful friends than seeing the coliseum or the grand canal.
Paul and Steven are amazing cooks. When I visited, it sort of felt like every day was thanksgiving, or some celebration of friends and food. It goes without saying that the villa itself, positioned as it is on the ancient Roman road, Via Adriana, is an incredibly stunning and special place. The road is lined with umbrella pines, and I remember seeing a group of bikers staying at the villa, ridding it off into the acres and acres of olive groves that surround the villa in every direction. I know these guys have put great care into revealing and preserving the history and traditions of this part of the world, evident in the care they took with repairing and pouring all their energies into breathing life back into a place that they originally found in absolute ruin.
Honestly, what I can say about the villa, and recommend to friends, is that if you're in the market for a vacation that actually has another dimension to it; learning about a community, its food, its history, this place ticks every box. But it also is an amazing spot if you just want to loaf by the pool, have cocktails and catch up on reading. I am not a cyclist myself, but I know that Paul organises extensive bike excursions for guests throughout greater Puglia, as I saw many of them coming and going when I stayed there. They were also planning a wedding during my visit and I watched how excited the bride to be was as she walked through the villa's courtyard out into the rose covered garden, and I thought to myself, how awesome it would be to get married here!
The other cool aspect of staying at the villa was that you could make it as fancy or laid back an affair as you wanted. These guys will cook your meals, or let you run the kitchen. I will come back to see Villa Cappelli again, both for the beauty of the place and its owners.

The Italy I Imagined...
My husband and I stayed at Villa Cappelli with six other friends; we could not have had a better experience! This was my first time in Italy and I wanted to enjoy the historic sites, pastoral views, and of course the food and wine! Besides a meal or two that we had while touring, Steven prepared the majority of our meals including local lamb, tomatoes and fresh mozzarella (which we bought as fresh as fresh can get-directly from a dairy farm), asparagus (which we picked in a local forest alongside a 13th century castle) and of course a zesty pasta, just to name a few. Paul was an excellent tour guide, inserting little pieces of current news, events, and flavor as we made our way along the Appian Way or out to the emerald waters of the Adriatic.
The accommodations were comfortable and the mattress was perfect! We slept in later than we do anywhere else. The large windows in the bedroom framed a large expanse of olive trees and it was peaceful to watch an incoming storm. We would have stayed longer, but we planned a two-day experience in Rome. Paul brought us to the local train station (only 10 minutes away) and waited for us to catch our train.
I highly recommend Villa Cappelli for groups, families, adventure seekers, environmentally-minded folks, etc.
Oh...and I forgot to mention-they make their own wine, olive oil, limoncello, and liquors!

Wonderful, magical Villa Cappelli!
My family and I came to Villa Cappelli to spend a week with friends. What a fabulous place to spend our vacation! Our suite was quite lovely (three rooms, sitting room and a bathroom) and the other suites/rooms were just as wonderful. Old school furnishings (but comfy) in keeping with the centuries-old villa. Our hosts were truly welcoming and loads of fun. We learned a lot from Paul, Steven and Casey. AND the food was phenomenal (we arranged to have nightly group dinners at the villa). They also make their own wine, olive oil, conserves. One evening, Paul arranged for a local pizzaca band to come and entertain us. What a treat! The band was fantastic. The villa is close to picture postcard beaches and to a castle. Beautiful Lecce is three-hours away. Lounging around the villa was also terrific - they have a great pool! Our kids loved it at the villa and they loved the Villa Cappelli family (including the three dogs and countless kitties). We highly recommend Villa Cappelli! (and we miss it already)

"When I dream of Italy, I'll dream of Villa Cappelli
My family just returned from a week-long stay at Villa Cappelli in the Puglia region of Italy. We were with a group of 13 people, many of us with children (ranging in age from 5 to 13), and we all agreed it was one of the best, most luxurious, most relaxing, most delicious, most interesting, most unique vacations we ever took – one that gave us a taste of authentic, unspoiled Italy that most U.S. tourists don’t experience.
We flew directly from NYC to Rome, and then took a quick, inexpensive connecting flight to Bari, from which the Villa is a short, 20-minute drive (we rented a car at the Bari airport). For the trip home, when we were better rested, we chose to drive back to Rome, and that was an easy four and a half hour drive on the highway.
The Villa itself and its surroundings are absolutely gorgeous and bursting with rustic charm and natural beauty. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and handsomely furnished, with modern bathrooms. The pool and garden are beautiful, and beyond the property walls, you can see miles and miles of olive groves all around, which means there is plenty of peace, quiet, and privacy here. I should mention this is also a great vacation for families with children, as the kids can run safely throughout the property, and there is much here for them to explore and enjoy.
But by far, what makes this such a special vacation, is the hospitality of the owners, Paul Cappelli, his partner Steven (both formerly of New York City), and Paul’s daughter Casey. From the moment you arrive, they go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and memorable, whether it be a welcoming glass of prosecco, an escorted shopping trip into town, or an impromptu pasta-making class in the villa kitchen. We asked them to provide dinners for our group, and these meals were a highlight of the stay for everyone. Each day, they would head to town and return with fresh fish, seafood, cheese and meat, which they would lovingly prepare with vegetables and herbs from their own garden, complimented by their home-made olive oil (essentially liquid gold—it will put you off all other olive oil for life), wine (red and easily drinkable), and liqueurs, including their own Limoncello and walnut liqueur.
Each night, our group would gather for a long, leisurely meal, sitting at a candlelit table outside by the pool, as our hosts brought out course after course of delicious, home-cooked Italian food. These meals put the ones we had in Rome to shame, and were shocking

Villa Cappelli exceeded our very high expectations!
As I read all the laudatory reviews about Villa Cappelli, I found it hard to believe this was such a perfect place...surely the reviews had been written by Paul and his friends. Having just returned from two weeks at the Villa, I agree totally with all the wonderful things that have been written in prior reviews...they are NOT made up! We chose Villa Cappelli to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We had never rented sight-unseen before, and Paul responded to all my anxious e-mails in great detail and with great patience. We had 23 family members for the 1st week, and a different 22 for the second week. Ages were 2 to 75 years. From the moment Paul opened the gate to welcome us, we entered an enchanting time. Paul, Steven and Casey were the perfect hosts-always available yet never intrusive. We were delighted with every aspect of the Villa: we cooked in the marvelously equipped kitchen and swam til we were exhausted in the large pool. The children (and adults) loved exploring the garden and the olive groves. Plenty of common indoor and outdoor areas to have our large group all together, yet plenty of places to be by yourself. Paul's knowledge of and passion for the Villa and the area were never-ending, as was his willingness to share them with us. Steven cooked three superlative meals for us and Casey was helpful in so many ways. We felt like good friends, not like paying guests. Having their homemade wine and liquors and jams was really special. The pictures on the website are a true reflection of the Villa, yet can't begin to do it justice. Our family felt the same way: over and over they enthused over the Villa and couldn't believe their good fortune in being able to be there. All of us would return in a heart-beat, and we strongly, strongly recommend this wonderful place. The vrbo.com review guidelines say not to include any personally identifiable information - or else I'd include our names and e-mail address so that anyone wanting more information could contact me. Instead, we've encouraged Paul to use us for references. We LOVED every minute of our stay at Villa Cappelli and hope to return.

Villa Cappelli is a remarkable place
Our stay at Villa Cappelli was without a doubt the best vacation I have ever had. From the moment we got there we were made to feel like part of a remarkable family. The villa is unique and fascinating and beautiful. The grounds with all the beautiful plants and pool and view takes your breath away. Paul and Steven are the most hospitable and considerate hosts anyone could hope for. The bedrooms and furnishings are all amazing. And the food! Steven is a fantastic cook and the local produce, fish, etc was such a treat.
The best part for me was when we would sit around the big dining table after eating and drinking for hours and joke and laugh late into the night. I felt like I was with family. I miss Villa Cappelli, Paul, Steven and Casey and cannot wait to go back again!

Fabulous week at Villa Capelli
The beautiful accommodations were surpassed only by the warm and wonderful hosts. We were there as part of a biking Puglia tour, and it's perhaps our best vacation ever. Be sure to arrange for the hosts to prepare at least one meal; the food was fabulous.

Mangia Mangia Mangia!!!
This charming 14th century Villa provides the perfect setting to explore the beautiful region of Puglia. The owners welcome you into their quaint Villa. The food was never never ending and so good that I could hardly wait until the next meal. The evening we took over the kitchen to make our own designer pizzas in an pizza oven several hundred years old was a fantastic experience. All of this was accompanied with home made wine, olive oil and other fabulous liquors. Fortunate for us we were cycling through the countryside and along the beautiful Adriatic everyday to keep the pounds from staying on.

AMAZING!
We were a party of 21 people ranging in age from 7 to 85, extended family celebrating my parents 60th Wedding Anniversary.
What a memorable time we had from the incredibly warm welcome to our sad goodbyes.
Paul, Stephen, Casey and Logan work so hard and nothing is too much trouble. The atmosphere is very relaxed, even with 11 children running around. We ate there every night, drinking homemade wine (the best) and homemade liqueurs (we brought back some limoncello) The food was delicious - course after course of the freshest Italian food served in an amazing huge room at a long table (because it was too cold to eat outside) There were many vegetarians among us but that was no problem at all - everyone was catered for.
The house is on the Appian Way which means there's virtually no traffic. They had lots of bikes that the kids could ride up and down.
There are lots of animals, which the kids especially liked. 3 docile, laid-back dogs and 11 cats.
Paul took us out for the day - we went to a mozzarella farm and a town made up of caves. On another occasion we went shopping for food with Paul - what an experience - we were give so many things to taste by the shop-owners.
The area is completely untouristy and lots to see and do.
We all agreed we had such an amazing week and this had a lot to do with the hosts.
We'd love to return.

Amazing Stay In Terlizzi
Having never been to a country/ area where English is not a primary language, we decided to take an organized group tour to Puglia, Italy... staying at Villa Cappelli. We could not have asked for a better vacation!
After driving through miles of olive groves, uninterrupted vistas of the Puglia countryside and beautiful towns filled with stunning architecture, we arrived at Villa Cappelli in Terlizzi. The gate to Villa Cappelli (right on the Apian Way!) opened and we realized we were staying in a piece of history... yet, in someone's home; not a "hotel". The view from the entrance gate alone is breathtaking. The cobblestone walkways, stone arches, and gateway to the pool area and gardens immediately transported us to a relaxed way of living.
The owners greeted us and welcomed us with open arms. A tour of the one-of-a-kind grounds ended at our room. A few stone steps down into our accommodations and we settled in to our room... vaulted ceilings made from stone... a fireplace with a wood stove... beautiful artwork and antiques and a bathroom fit for a king!
During the week we stayed at Villa Cappelli, we were able to visit other guests' rooms and saw that each one was unique; carefully restored and beautifully appointed with antiques and authentic rustic Italian details.
Having a host who speaks Italian and English made a huge difference with regard to how much more we could enjoy our visit. Paul (owner) was great about accompanying the tour to translate and order at restaurants etc. And, the bike tour leaders were super about helping with the translations and making sure we got the most out of our trip with regard to learning the history of the area, where to go for shopping etc. The Terlizzi area is not a stereotypical "tourist" area in Italy and not everyone speaks English.
We highly recommend a stay at Villa Cappelli. The region it is in is grogeous and easy to get around. The villa is a one of a kind experience... accomdations you will never forget.

An experience you'll never forget.
I stayed at the Villa last May with a group of gents on a bike tour for a week. To be perfectly honest, it was an experience that I will never forget. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, we were wined, dined, and given a tour of ancient Italy that no one would usually encounter on a tour. We met, ate, and hung out with the locals...we saw, touched, and smelled what "real" Italy is like...as we relaxed, socialized, and soaked it all up with the hospitality of Paul, Steven, and the tour guides. I would say that my room was like something out of "A room with a view" - it was breath taking to say the least.
In a trip for me that encompassed three other countries, the experience I had at the Villa and Terlizzi was by far the best, hands-down. I cannot wait to return next spring to the and do it all over again!

Fabulous stay at Villa Cappelli
I had a fabulous two week stay at Villa Cappelli. At this 14th Century villa on the "Via Appia" one feels like stepping back in history while enjoying all the amenities of a luxury inn.
I am a tour director/bike guide and brought a group of 12 bikers to the Villa to stay for a week and do bike day trips in the surrounding area visiting castles, national parks and wonderful old coastal towns. All of the bikers had rave reviews of the Villa and our host/owners Paul and Steven.
The owners could not have been more accommodating. They organized the bike routes and supplied bikes, local guides, and a support van. We opted to eat many of our meals at the Villa; food was all homemade with local produce and products AND delicious. Again rave reviews from my biking clients.
I am sure we will use Villa Cappelli in the future and I have already recommended it to several friends.

The photos on VRBO capture the beauty of the villa. It is surrounded by tall walls, olive trees and wild flowers. The interior gardens are planted and kept more in a natural state.
When you enter the main gate of the villa, you step back in time. You are not at a hotel, tourist guest house or B&B. Rather, you are a guest in Paul Cappelli's home. By the end of the week, we no longer felt like guests: we felt like we were part of Paul Cappelli's extended family.
It is located on the ancient Appian Way and just outside of charming Terlizzi. This was a great location for day trips either by auto or by train. One day, we drove for hours along the coast to view endless numbers of ancient buildings. Another day, we drove through Alberobello, Locorotondo and to Ostuni.
If you wish to visit the markets in Terlizzi, Paul will take you along as he shops for the villa. If you want to taste the true foods and wines of Italy, Paul will prepare a feast! He makes his own wine, olive oil, and lemoncello.
Do I recommend Villa Cappelli? Absolutely! It is an opportunity to experience Italy as few travelers do these days.

The Villa Cappelli. Start slow, stay long, and of course make it fresh. For today play for keeps and make it tasty. Time stops here, sun dries tomatoes and warms us all. Just add liquid and stir with love. What a place! No it isn't a place at all it is a time. And what a time my family had with our friends here. I envy you your chance to go to this Villa. I'll be here again, if luck comes my way.

La Dolce Vita
Behind the iron gates to the entrance of the Villa Cappelli, lies a warm, inviting and perhaps slightly magical oasis of Italian life that owner Paul has created for his visitors. The villa decor is a blend of renaissance flair and rustic charm. The bedrooms are calm and peaceful and the common areas are relaxing and inviting. The views from the upstairs bedrooms overlooking the olive groves and vineyards are lovely early of a morning.
The food of the region is varied, bountiful and so delicious. If you are afforded the opportunity to go to the markets with Paul to help shop for the mid-day meal, DO IT! The local vendors are open and friendly and love introducing Paul’s visitors to new things. Paul has taken some of the best dishes of the region and made them his own.....my best days at the villa were the ones in which I played sous chef and assisted him in the kitchen. He will pour you a glass of his magic wine and the time will pass in an instance as he shares his love and passion for the Puglia region and its hidden treasures. He is a joy to be around and a wealth of knowledge about the region, the history, the culture and the cuisine.
If, after the mid-day meal and a long siesta, you decide you have room enough to go into town for dinner or gelato, ask Paul for a recommendation. He never steered our group wrong.
Come to the villa with an open mind, a desire to explore all that the region has to offer and embrace the warm, relaxing place that it is. Whether you intend the villa to serve as an anchor point for day trips to the many lovely town and sights in the areas or as a place to relax and unwind, you’ll find it here. Take off your heels and slip on your favorite pair of sandals and just soak it all in. Grab a book and relax on the portico, take a dip in the pool or take a long walk on the Appian Way. You’ll be the better for it and it truly can be a “La Dolce Vita” experience.

I went to the Villa last August with 10 of my friends.
We had an amazing time in the Villa, the owner greeted us and served with great hospitality and insured we enjoyed our stay. The Villa is extremely beautiful and hip, newly restored but very authentic. The food we had was excellent and the surroundings and scenery as well. Everything was clean and tidy.
The owner and manager of the Villa, showed us the nearest towns and sightseeings and reccomended very good restaurants for us. He gave us what you might call some inside information on Puglia.
I highly reccomend this Villa for a getaway for a group of friends or a large family. I loved it, I think you will too.

We were a group of friends meeting for our summer holiday in Italy, some of us coming from Reykjavik and other from London. We found Villa Capelli on the internet and it was perfect for our group, five couples and one single and everyone had more enough space.
When we arrived Paul (the owner) welcomed us with delicious pasta served with his red wine. It was so welcoming and at that moment we knew we had found a very special place. We had some expectations about the villa but it was much nicer and more beautiful than we ever dared to imagine! Each bedroom is spacious and really nice. The garden is so beautiful and the pool is great, the springboard was very popular among the boys!!
We really liked the location of the villa, but you need to have a car. It’s close to the beach, and some cute towns. Terlizzi is the closest town and really beautiful, I recommend giving it a visit. It´s small but you get the feeling that you are in a typical small Italian town, no tourists just kind Italian people. Terlizzi has some great restaurants and Paul was really helpful in recommending places for us, also we really enjoyed having him with us.
I think that our holiday wouldn’t have been so great if we had not stayed at Paul´s villa! I have recommended it for everyone I know who is thinking of going to Italy. The villa is great for both small and big groups, whether you are traveling with your family or your friends! And it is a MUST to buy Paul’s products, his Olive oil is amazing and his seasoning mix is the best!
Me and my friends can’t wait to come again and stay at Paul’s villa and of course meeting him again!

We rented the villa to celebrate my son's baptism in Italy - there were a total of 16 people in our party, ranging in age from 71 years old to 10 months and every single one of us had a great time! The villa has a truly magical feel about it and takes you back in time as you look out over the olive orchards, but it has also been modernized to give you all of the comforts of a 5-star hotel. Apart from the beautiful location and accommodations, our hosts were amazing - making us feel truly welcome and giving us a real taste of Italy. We had such a wonderful time and the villa provided the perfect "home base" for travelling around Puglia, that we will definitely visit again!

I spent a fantastic week at Villa Cappelli which is incredibly hospitable and beautiful. The location is ideal if you want to relax and visit the historic towns in the area, but also if you want to enjoy the local scene and night life which I found to be of the highest quality.
In contrast to what happens in most other Villas and “Masserie”, Paul, the owner, is a guy you definitely want to have around; and it is very likely you will leave Villa Cappelli considering him and his friends as your friends.
The only risk is that having spent some time there, you will not want to leave and you will long to call Villa Cappelli home. Unfortunately that luxury may be out of reach but you can always start planning your next visit.

Villa Cappelli is an extraordinary place. It's a restored ruin done in first class but exceptionally comfortable and fun at the same time. Paul is a great host. And his extended family make it a truly authentic, local Italian experience. It's a short hop from the Bari airport. The town of Terlizzi is quaint and just a few minutes away. There's much to explore on the property of the Villa itself -- many rooms, gardens, orchards, and the old Roman roads. The food in the region and at the Villa is superb. Plan to schedule your day around the midday meal. I can't recommend Villa Cappelli enough. Lucky you!

I stayed with friends at the Villa this summer (August 2010) for a week, and it has been wonderful! First of all the Villa is like a paradise, located on the Via Appia (wow!), with beautiful bedrooms each with its new bathroom. The full kitchen - with every possible appliance - is very very big. There's a beautiful and large swimming pool, a fantastic and very big -must see!- wine cellar and other beautiful common spaces. The sightseeing is great - especially from the large common balcony - on the tousands of olive trees all around the property.
The property was clean and very well-maintained.
As well as the Villa, the owner is great! Always helpful, available and cultured, it's a pleasure to stay with him and the people who work there.
What about the food? Well there are lots of tipical restaurants in the nearby where to taste the fantastic local food (seafood, vegetables, meat and especially chhes like mozzarella - the best ever -) with very cheap price. But going shopping food is also fantastic! At the Bisceglie Sea-food open market we bought marvellous fresh fish, including all kind of raw seafood (that, by the way, we first tasted on the spot with a cold beer!!), fantastic vegetables etc.
At the Villa there's a very good red wine and a fantastic olive oil, both produced by the owner of the Villa like all the other products that you can buy at the store located in it.
What else to say? That place and the owner entered in my heart and will stay there forever. I will come back as soon as possible.
Thanks, thanks very much Paul!

About 2 months ago, I accidentally stumbled across an article about the villa online and I am very glad that I did.
I was in the process of planning a trip to Terlizzi to do some genealogy research and needed a clean, comfortable place to stay. I couldn't have been been happier starting at my initial conversation with Paul Cappelli, the owner, right through the end of my stay. Paul was engaging from our first conversation and I knew he would be a great host. He was very willing to assist me with my visit to the vital statistics office in town, and that in itself was a huge help.
When my partner and I arrived at the villa, we found it to be even more beautiful than the pictues online! Our room was very inviting, comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless! Additionally, the decor of the villa was charming and that included both the interior and exterior gardens, pool area and grounds.
The nice part of our stay at the villa was meeting local people, many of who were friendly with Paul. We enjoyed meeting other guests staying at the villa, and felt that we truly got a taste of southern Italian living. Paul helped us get back and forth into town, and was helpful as we explored Terlizzi and surrounding areas.
In all, the villa, Paul Cappelli's hospitality, and the great folks we met while visiting Terlizzi are what made our stay in Italy. I'm extremely grateful for all of Paul's help in getting my documents for dual citizenship, and would highly recommend the villa to anyone interested in visiting southern Italy and looking for a quiet, relaxing get away! You won't find another place like it!
