My party of five family and friends stayed at the Villa Margareta, one of Puglia Paradise's five-star properties, for five nights in June 2019. The house's location is perfect for visiting the charming hilltop town of Ostuni, only a five minute's drive. From the villa we also visited Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, Lecce, and Matera (do not miss it). It was tough to leave Villa Margareta as it was so beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. The outdoor area is phenomenal with so many areas to lounge in, a sparkling pool that was quite warm, and even a pizza oven, which we used one night. The bedrooms are outstanding. The linens, towels, mattresses and pillows are all excellent. The kitchen and living room are amazing. The furniture and design is out of Architectural Digest. I was especially impressed with the service that this agency provided. The home's property manager, Angela, was so helpful, from making dinner reservatio

We have spent several holidays with Puglia Paradise and we can only say good things about them. The villas are always beautifully finished, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped and managed. Any question we had whether about the villa itself or the towns, restaurants or area has always been answered almost immediately by WhatsApp by the Puglia Paradise team. An all round excellent company, we would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to visit this lovely region of IT. Rachel Murray

From the moment we booked this property the service was excellent; communication was regular, detailed, helpful. The property manager was on hand 24 hrs a day and responded to requests promptly. A small leak in one bathroom was dealt with within an hour. The property itself was lovely , very clean, well maintained. As a family of 5 , with 2 teenagers, we loved the pool and the boule area. There were many discrete spaces in the large garden where we could all be together, or separate for quiet individual reading time. The BBQ and Pizza oven by the pool were brilliant, so evening meals al fresco were magic as darkness fell and the lights around the terraces and gardens came on automatically. There is plenty to do locally and Ostuni, only a few minutes away by car boasts many good restaurants.

The perfect villa. What a lovely home. Everything is perfectly designed with no detail spared!

Villa Margareta Exceeded Expectations. We were a group of eight that visited Puglia at the end of September. Villa Margareta exceeded all of our expections! It is beautifully designed and elegantly and comfortably appointed! From the gorgeous bedrooms with ensuite to the bocce court! There is plenty of seating in all areas of the interior and exterior. A gorgeous salt water pool with beautiful views of the Adriatic! A rooftop bar with views of the olive groves and the Adriatic! A very well equipped massive kitchen and gas range. Angela was very responsive and met all of our needs! The pizza night was exceptional and the array and variation of antipasti and pizza was incredible! Thanks very much Puglia Paradise! We hope to back one day!!

We absolutely loved EVERYTHING about Villa Margareta and we will for sure come back next summer ! It's a solid modern villa built in the classic Puglia style with beautiful stones typical of the area . Furnished exquisitely and with everything you'd need for your perfect stay (and then some!) . Massimo and Angela were on top of evreything and communucation was on point . The villa even has it's own production of olive oil (which is delicious btw) and a beautiful edible garden with tomatoes , peppers and every herb imaginable . Also figs (in summer) and delicious grapes ! It's situated just a few minutes away from Ostuni , by far our favorite town off the Adriatic coast . We want to thanks Villa Margareta's ownners for sharing their own piece of heaven with us and Puglia Paradise for an OUTSTANDING job as property managers and hosts . We shall return .... again and again !

This home met every expectation we all had. It was stunning. The views were to die for, the kitchen was fully equipped with great cookware, even Le Creuset pans. The 4 bedrooms all had king size beds and were extremely comfortable. We also appreciated the dishwasher. This home is quite close to Ostuni so picking up groceries from Familia was very easy, or having dinner in town was also very convenient. Angelina, our concierge, was so accommodating, nothing was too difficult for her. We appreciated how quickly she responded and got us what we needed. Thank you again for ensuring our group had a fabulous holiday. Jessie & Larry

We had a wonderful time in this fabulous villa. It was as stunning as the photos depict and easily accommodated our party of 8. Angela was welcoming, receptive to our questions, helpful in suggesting local activities - all contributing to a memorable Italian holiday.

We stayed at Villa Margareta (very close to Ostuni) for 5 nights. What an incredible experience! We were a group of 8 people, celebrating various life milestones, including a 70th birthday, and wanted a luxurious home base in Puglia. Puglia Paradise and their team were gracious hosts, and the villa was breathtaking! All the conveniences of a home away from home, and perfect for relaxing days by the pool, or day trips to the all the amazing towns and beaches in Southern Puglia. I would highly recommend booking with Puglia Paradise, and even taking part in some of the extra services they offer. We booked the pizza cooking lesson, and it was a highlight of the trip!

An absolutely lovely, peaceful villa in the countryside. All 4 bedrooms have wonderful beds! The kitchen is well equipped down to excellent knives! Angela was most helpful with planning tours, getting groceries in for our arrival and arranging divers (as well as a rental car). We would happily go back to Villa Margarite!

This was a great villa. We were comfortable, relaxed, in its no fuss and yet tastefully designed interior and outdoor areas. Generous in size; inviting pool; state of the art kitchen utensils (the juicer and espresso maker well used); inspiring locally made crockery (Nicola Fasano); they even allowed us the use of the garden herbs and fruit (fiorone fig tree growing wild just outside gave birth to multiple harvests). The bed was supremely comfortable and we slept so well in the shuttered darkness. My family got quite hooked on the Pétanque lawn (and competitive too......) The outdoor pizza oven was so much fun- it became the centre of a delightful social when tens of pizzas were conjured out by our lovely pizza husband and wife teacher duo. We also enjoyed Ostuni nearby, Grotaglie’s ceramiche shops, Cisternino, Ceglie Messapica and the lovely La Dolce Vita beach club. Ostuni market was a genuine (so cheap!) and fabulous bazaar. The slow food restaurants including Masseria Salinola around the region delicious. All in all an amazing villa and lovely break. The grounds were wonderfully kept by Rolando- thank you. Thank you Angela our concierge in particular for helping us almost as soon as we reached villa Margareta and throughout the holiday. And Massimo for his early rapid and friendly responses Thank you.

We had an incredible time at the Puglia Paradise Villa! It was our first family holiday trip and it couldn't have been more perfect. The villa was amazing - very clean and spacious. The pool was pristine, pizza night was memorable and we had ample space to enjoy comfortably in our own corridors. Cannot wait to go back!

Had a great two weeks at Villa Margarita in Puglia. Property was outstanding and perfect location! Will definitely be coming back.

Lovely Puglia. Had a great two weeks at Villa Margarita in Puglia. Property was outstanding and perfect location! Will definitely be coming back.

Villa Margareta is perfect in every way. The villa is stunningly beautiful, with fabulous outdoor space. Everything about the villa, the bedrooms, the pool, the numerous seating areas are styled to perfection. Puglia Paradise who manage the property were fantastic and assisted with car hire, transfers, taxis, restaurant reservations and organised the most fabulous Pizza Chefs to come to the villa to cook for us - this is not to be missed and was the highlight of our stay. The villa is situated a 5-10 minute drive from beautiful Ostuni where you can find a plethora of restaurants - that is if you can bear to leave the tranquillity of Villa Margareta!

Fantastic stay in a spectacular villa! I stayed in Villa Margareta with my family during our trip throughout the fantastic Puglia. Villa Margareta has exceeded our expectations and has so many strengths that I don't even know where to start. Maybe I should start from the wonderful swimming pool with sea view, or from the interior finishes, or from the very comfortable bedrooms. In short, it was a perfect stay made unforgettable by Angela's support, always available and reachable for any need. It is the second time we stayed in a villa managed by Puglia Paradise and we have had confirmation of a professionalism and reliability that is really difficult to find. For this, we recommend Villa Margareta and Puglia Paradise, the top of the top in Puglia!

Puglia Paradise went above and beyond ensuring our stay was an incredibly enjoyable experience. They were on hand to help with any trip and restaurant bookings etc. and were extremely friendly and lovely to deal with. This was a special family holiday celebrating a milestone birthday and staying in Villa Margarita really made it a truly wonderful experience. The villa was beautifully decorated with Scandinavian interiors throughout - a real mix of old and new. It was gorgeous! And each bedroom had its own bathroom - very handy when in a big group. The terrace and pool side area were fabulous! Plenty of space to relax and unwind - whether you wanted to be in the sunshine or not and to make it extra special the villa had an outside pizza oven. Actually, one of our highlights from the holiday was a Pizza making night. Puglia Paradise arranged for 2 chefs to come over to the villa and show us how to make Pizza - and as a bonus - pasta too! This was a really special experience. Francesco and Valentina from Il Piatto Fumante in Castellana were so friendly and knowledgeable in their craft and their pizza was delicious!! It is a night I will always remember. I would highly recommend Puglia Paradise to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free and special holiday!

We spent our second week in Villa Margetha just outside Ostuni where we were joined by our three adult children and partners. What a spectacular villa, amazing interior/exterior design and a kitchen to die for!! Here, we were greeted by Angela from Puglia Paradise who helped us to settle in and again was on hand to make restaurant recommendations etc. We found it hard to leave the villa as it was just perfect for a family holiday. Our favorite night was the Pizza Night arranged by Puglia Paradise and hosted by Valentino and his lovely wife Francesca. We all learned and practiced making fabulous pizzas and pasta. It was all great fun and very tasty! Valentino went to great lengths to ensure we had a memorable night and we really want to acknowledge their kindness! We also took a great boat trip from Poliganano a Mare and swam in the caves. Angela helped us organize a wonderful restaurant in Ostuni (Piaza di Cathedrale) where we celebrated my significant roundy birthday! Once again I have to say that Massimo got the villa choice spot on for our family requirements. We will be holidaying with Puglia Paradise again and would recommend that you consider them for your next holiday – you won’t be disappointed!!

Massimo, handled our booking with professionalism and with an efficiency that is rare, having travelled worldwide, it was such a pleasure to find this in Puglia! The villa Margareta we stayed in was of 5-star standard and met all our expectations and much more. Nothing was too much trouble and every request was met with an immedacy. For those of you thinking to book a stay here - all one can say, quite simply is - why would you not? a little piece of paradise next to the beautiful white walled city of Ostuni The property is MrandMrsSmith worthy ! Definitely planning a next trip with more family and friends !

We had an incredible time at Puglia Paradise. The space was spacious enough for 8 of us and very clean. The hosts make it very convenient for us by providing ample beach towels and providing concierge service available through whatsapp. We booked a pizza night one night for a birthday and the couple that came to cook/teach us were amazing. The whole experience was a memorable one for our family. Thank you!
