As other guests mention, the house is even nicer than the pictures show. It is modern, comfortable with all you need in place (good beds, lots of kitchen supplies, silent a/c), spacious, lots of seats outside. And of course the large swimming pool! The house is located on a small hill, so you can see the sea and the refreshing breeze is welcome in the hot summer days. In addition to spending lots of lazy days at the house enjoying the pool and sun, the location makes it easy to visit the highlights of Puglia, such as Lecce, Ostuni, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare. Nice restaurants nearby, with XFOOD at San Vito dei Normanni our favorite. So we had a great time at this place and would highly recommend it!

We had a great family holiday in the villa. The location was perfect for us, short drive from the airport and loads of beaches within about 20 minutes. Also 3 towns to visit within 20 minutes drive. We really enjoyed Carovigno. The villa had everything we needed. The pool was fantastic and we loved the massive outdoor space. The air con worked well and was much needed in the heatwave! Great communication before we arrived and during our stay which was very reassuring with all the covid restrictions. A car is essential for this property. We loved every minute and would definitely recommend!

A lovely, spacious villa with a huge pool in a great location for visiting the beautiful cities in Puglia. The owners and local manager could not have been more helpful and there are recommendations for local restaurants, shops etc. We were visiting with teenagers but the owners also have a fence they can erect around the pool, if you are staying there with babies or toddlers. We’d return in a heartbeat!

We have just returned from a wonderful week in this villa. It is much bigger and more amazing than the pictures can show. It is just a few years old and very well designed with a large kitchen/dining/sitting room which overlooks the pool and outdoor covered seating areas. It is very contemporary with concrete floors, huge rainfall showers and air con in the rooms which makes it very functional in the heat. The views are wonderful over olive groves and out to the sea. We met Michele and his lovely family when we arrived as they were just leaving and they were so kind with great advice on the area and restaurants. It is very Italian this part of Puglia which is why we love it so much, (it does mean very people speak English, so google translate is very useful if your Italian is not strong). The house is close to the town of San Vito dei Normanni, where we had a fantastic meal at the restaurant X Food which is also a social project. Another evening was spent in the beautiful Ostuni which is about 25 mins away. Our favourite beach is just 15 mins up the coast at Costa Merlata which is real family beach where you can jump off low cliffs into the sea and swim back into the cove plus there is a nice little cafe on the beach which is very cheap. There are also beaches just 5 mins from the house. The White Ostuni Beach club is great for lunch. It is a wonderful house for a relaxing holiday, it is worth knowing it is fairly remote and down a rough track, so you do have to get in the car for everything but it is only 10 mins from towns for shopping & restaurants. Thank you so much Michele and your family for sharing your new Italian home.

We had such a great time in Puglia. The house is great. Modern design yet warm", clean and quiet. Close to the beach. Great for walks in the country side. We tried some good local food and visited Lecce and Cisternino. Strongly recommend.
