The property was charming and rustic in a rural location surrounded by olive groves. The two on site properties worked brilliantly for our inter-generational family group. The pool was lovely and upstairs veranda and poolside patio were both perfect for dining Will was the perfect host. He could not have been more helpful, from booking restaurants to assisting with local information for beaches and days out. His local knowledge helped us make the most of our stay and his attentive but never intrusive presence was a absolute pleasure I would definitely recommend a stay here for a group of independent minded travelers with a car to make the most of this beautiful area of Italy.

The property is very close to town by car, 10 minutes at most. However, the home is a on a secluded road, so it is a great place to just enjoy the pool, the views and get some relaxation during the day. The photos speak for themselves. In the evening, the Ostuni nightlife is vibrant. Shops, restaurants and bars are plentiful, and the views are spectacular.

We had a wonderful stay here and we recommend this place to everyone. The pool and the house is great and have everything you need for your vacation. Will is very nice and gave us lots of tips of the area. We really didn't want to leave!

Perfect authentic Italian get away in a quite and relaxing location, still everything you need close by. Also thanks to Will's recommandations, we had a great vacation. Thanks again. Take care

We had a very comfortable and welcoming stay in a trullo vacation home in the olive grooves outside of Ostuni! Our host, Will, was very kind and even hosted us for a night out in Ostuni and showed us around. The villa came stocked with some groceries and beverages and the grocery store was a short drive from the Villa. This Villa/trullo was the perfect place to stay with it being close to Ostuni, as well as the local beaches! One of the best places we’ve stayed on our Italy trip, thank you!!

Villa Acacia was a super villa for the 4 of us. Perfect location, so much to see and do and not far from the beautuful beaches should you wish to relax. Set in a peaceful location amongst the olive groves in a rural setting. Waking up to the birds singing every morning bliss. We really enjoyed all the facilities , the pool was great fun enjoyed playing volley ball and floating on the water loungers very relaxing. Loved the beautiful olive tree with the hammock perfect. Not forgetting many a table tennis tournament too! Even ventured out on the bikes a couple of times. Will as a host we can honestly say is one of the best we've experienced. His knowledge of the area and recommendations outstanding. Also a very generous welcome pack on arrival much appreciated as we came in late . It actually lasted us a few days! Nothing was too much trouble for him , on hand if needed, but also gave us our privacy . We fell in love with Badger the dog who came over a few times to say hello. Our first visit to Puglia certainly won't be our last . Many thanks .

Villa Acacia was lovely. The property itself is set back from road and offers incredible serenity. The two buildings are surrounded by beautiful foliage and green olive trees. Beds are comfortable - AC was great. Pool and lounge chairs an added plus! Everything you need to have a wonderful vacation time in Puglia. But... what makes this property truly incredible is the owner, Will. His hospitality can't be beat. From prior to our visit to during our 8 night stay, Will was in communication with us. Please - ask for his list of restaurant recommendations - he has excellent taste. He even stocks the fridge with essential items to start your holiday. We will definitely be staying at Villa Acacia on all future trips to Puglia! Thanks for everything Will and say hi to Badger!

An charming property that’s been lovingly developed by Will, the owner. The swimming pool is fantastic and the terrace above the main house has stunning views-a great area to relax. The location is so peaceful and private. A great location for all the beautiful, historic towns near by and the coast. Will was very welcoming, considerate and a super helpful host who went over and above to make us feel welcome and enjoy our holiday. Thank you, Will!

From start to finish Will was the perfect host. Nothing was too much trouble and he had a fantastic knowledge of the area and even booked dinner at an amazing restaurant. The villa is absolutely stunning with very comfortable beds and a lovely wood burner when it got chilly in the trulli. We arrived over Easter weekend so most shops were shut but Will very kindly made sure we didn't go hungry!!! Thanks so much for a gorgeous stay. The pool, table tennis and Badger the dog just added to the fun! See you next year....it's not very often we go somewhere more than once but we are definitely coming back.

Set amongst the olive groves and dry stone walls this charming property was perfect for a week away from the rat race. Comfortable, well appointed and with an attentive host who went the extra mile.

The property is on a very spacious plot with lots of outdoor areas. It has the additional self contained annexe, if a couple wanted to stay in addition to the two bed property. (Like grandparents) The swimming pool was a good size but very chilly at the end of October. Take insect repellant for the evenings as there are mosquitoes. It is well located for driving to places, such as ostuni and caravigno. Bikes are available, great addition, and the roads are flat around the property. Will was an amazing host, providing food for our late arrival and updating us daily on places to go and recommendations for food. The local beaches were great for snorkelling and cocktail bars, live music appear by the sea. Lecce was beautiful and favourite for architecture, shopping and breakfast. No where was busy in late October. We felt very spoilt with the beautiful weather and space.

We can’t say enough about the warmth of the accommodations and the host. Super clean and well supplied kitchen for cooking meals when you need a break from touring this amazing region. Will was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the sights and great spots to dine. Just watch out for the narrow country roads amd misleading Google maps.

Our whole experience can be summed up in the word fantastic. It already started with the communication with Will. We were informed in advance about everything. When we arrived Will gave us a selection of local dining recommendations which we followed to our complete satisfaction. The accommodation is a little paradise in an idyllic area. The rooms are already very cool due to their design and all have individually controllable, powerful air conditioning. The beds are extremely comfortable, including the sheets and pillows. The kitchen is well equipped and of high quality and the roof terrace offers a fantastic view. The two separate buildings are ideal for families or groups of friends traveling together and still have a lot of privacy. The outdoor area is perfectly equipped, from the seating area to the hammocks and sun loungers. The pool is clean and you hardly smell any chlorine. Due to the very extensive rural area, it is wonderfully quiet. Despite this, Ostuni, a beautiful town, is only 10 minutes away by car. Everything you need is within reach and Will is always available as a contact person. The other reviews in which his person is so praised are fully justified. We will definitely come back one day and are already looking forward to it. A recommendation from our side for fish lovers: SORSI & MORSea in Villanova.

We were a party of four who rented Villa Acacia back in 2019 but our visit was delayed until 2022 due to the pandemic We were greeted by the owner, Will, who showed us around the property and explained the various systems. The villa is set in an olive grove some distance from the main road. We were delayed in our arrival having got lost so we do suggest that you pay detailed attention to the route given by Will. Will left us wine, beer and enough food for a very good meal the first night together with butter, milk, bread and marmelata for breakfast the following day, also plenty of still and sparking bottled water which was very much appreciated. As Will was called away on family matters, he ensured we were introduced to a helper in case we should need assistance in his absence. He also kept in contact via WhatsApp should we have queries and sent us recommendations for restaurants, bars and general information regarding the area (–there is excellent wifi at the property.). We took advantage of his tips and were never disappointed (except the service at La Terrazza was not very good). We were very happy with the villa which has been reconstructed in sympathetic detail to the existing trulli on the property The main residence has two double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a galley style kitchen, the main large relaxing area with dining table and chairs, extremely comfortable sofas, coffee table with a view to the pool as seen in the photographs. There is also a wonderful roof terrace where we enjoyed our evening drinks with views to the sea and to Ostuni. There is a second building with a trullo in which is a double bedroom and a separate bathroom, a large sitting room with comfortable sofas and chairs in which is a fridge, microwave, electric kettle (this is in addition to the kitchen in the main building). It was perfect as occasionally our friends enjoyed having downtime here after a busy morning sightseeing before we all reconvened near the pool. The pool is excellent for swimming and water ball games and was kept crystal clear by Will’s employee who also swept the outside area. It was very private and peaceful. We also made use of the table tennis table/set although not of the bicycles. The location is perfect to visit nearby Ostuni, Unesco heritage site Alberobello, Ceglie, Martima Franca We had a busy and relaxing 9 days together with dining at restaurants recommended by Will, we really enjoyed La Cantina.

Super place, located a little outside of Ostuni. We had a lovely stay and were incredibly well looked after by the owner, Will. Everything in good condition, nice pool and a great roof terrace for dinner. Missing it already!

So, the four of us managed to visit several towns in enchanting Puglia plus Matera while based in Will's idyllic Villa Acacia in Ostuni. Each town in Puglia was magical in its own way. After each day trip, we looked forward to going "home" to our cozy trulli villa. Will did a great job of making us feel welcome and extremely comfortable. He was the ultimate host whose insight and advice given in such a friendly manner made us fast friends! The Villa was very well done and very clean. The bathrooms were just lovely. The kitchen was equipped with all the much appreciated staples, including lots of bottled water. Sleeping in a trullo with a wood burning stove was an experience I'll never forget! We got a true taste of what it's like living in Puglia among the wonderful olive groves. Also, I loved seeing all the bumblebees and butterflies hovering over the big lavender bush. We wish we had more time there! Thank you so much, Will! We hope to see you again some day!😊❤️

We had avery pleasant stay in the house. Will is a very pleasant and likelable person ensuring you have a great time. Any question on whatsoever, nice places, restaurants, shops, ask and Will has tips for you. We liked the house and its environment, you are surrounded by just nature and nature's sound. For breakfast we enjoyed getting freshly baked bread at SuperFamila in Ostuni. Restaurants we appreciated are Casa Mia and La Cantina in Carovigno a lot. Try the antipasta at La Cantina!

Will Sanderson is probably the best host I’ve ever encountered thoughout my travels. He has thought of everything possible to make one’s stay pleasurable. He had lists of restaurants and things to do. The property is very family friendly. I was here by myself but I could see how much fun it would be to have a lovely family vacation here or even a family reunion. The gardens are lovely and his dog Badger was one of my highlights. One of the other things that make Will such a special host is that he was genuinely interested in my feed back on the property and some of the suggestions I made to him he implemented within a day or so. He is so invested in the clients time and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable. If I could… I would give him many more stars He is the absolute best.

Property was a cozy location for exploring Puglia. The host (Will) helped arrange a local nonna to cook a large Sunday dinner for us that we enjoyed all week, and also a local guide Emilio who was terrific

Our expectations were high for our stay here and I must saw we were not let down. Beautiful place set in the countryside but still close to a couple of towns. It has everything. From olive trees to almond trees. Fig trees to grape vines. Absolutely beautiful. There are even bikes there and miles of country roads to ride them on. The owner Will is working on a house next door. He is the kinda of guy that once you meet him then he’s your friend. Very likable man. He has a lot of information to share on the surrrounding area. Couldn’t ask for a better host. I would highly recommend this place. You won’t be let down. I hope we can stay here again.

We had a really good week. Will was extremely accommodating in getting a couple of the bicycles tuned nicely for our use, because he knew that was important to us (we rode 30-50K every day). After exploring other parts of Italy, this area was low key and quiet - precisely what we had hoped for. We enjoyed the views from the rooftop terrace, the character of the trulli rooms, and the outdoor spaces. Will encouraged us to eat the ripened grapes off the vine (yum!) and we also collected and cracked a bunch of almonds from the almond trees on the property (excellent!). The location was good, between Ostuni and Carovigno, and worked well as a base for exploring the area. We had the antipasti for two (at Will's recommendation) at La Cantina, and it was a really fun (and filling) experience. Touring the countryside by bike was stress-free due to low-traffic roads, and it was so interesting to see the trulli dotting the landscape. We also visited Alberobello - touristy but not overly crowded, with lots of photo opps, and some of the other nearby towns. The Adriatic Coast was very scenic, and our timing was great because the weather was wonderful but the beaches were practically deserted because it was off-season. Overall if you are seeking a remote location with a bit more of a rustic feel, we recommend this! Thanks, Will!

Great property, a little disconnected for 6 people with limited indoor living space. Owner is a great guy and very accommodating.

Our group of 3 couples just finished a most wonderful relaxing 2 weeks at Villa Acacia! From the onset of discovering the villa online a year ago and everything in between, Will has been the most accommodating and tireless perfect host answering all of our questions and making suggestions. WhatsApp is a fantastic social media tool! Will provided all the necessities for breakfast which made our jet-lagged first morning so enjoyable and easy. The villa is equipped with everything you need to make yourself at home and after a couple of days, the villa really felt like home. It is perfectly situated as we did many day trips to nearby towns and beaches. Who knew Puglia had so much to do and see? We lucked out on perfect weather the whole time and enjoyed all our meals outside on the patio. The morning swim in our pool was a refreshing way to greet each day. A highlight for us was a Italian cooking lesson taught by Annarita that Will arranged for us at the villa. That was great fun for all. Who knew pasta making was so simple! Also the many restaurant recommendations were appreciated as we sampled the delicious Puglian cuisine. But more than anything ,dealing with Will was such a pleasure. That made the difference! We became friends from our initial queries to taking our farewells. Thank you and hope to see you soon Will.

Villa was in a lovely peaceful area and there are many scenic villages and towns to visit by car. Will the owner was on hand if you had any requirements and was the perfect host. Villa was clean and well looked after and is beautifully set in olive groves , grapevines and fig trees giving a peaceful setting to enjoy by the pool.

Lovely accommodation with lots of outdoor areas. Great swimming pool. The owner is very nice, very accommodating and helpful. Highly recommend.
