Large and beautiful Villa. Perfect for all ages!

Villa Barbara is a lovely villa with lots of space, it is a little tired in areas, but can get away with it with the whole Italian rustic charm! We discovered that the pool alarm advertised had been disconnected which was a shame as this had been a selling point to us with having 2 young children and a very open pool. There were no instructions on this or how to set the house alarm, so we had a few days of trying to find out how they both worked, so this would be useful for future guests. We also had a real problem finding the meeting point to collect the keys and even after staying for a week still have no idea where the bar was! They were however very patient with how late we were when we did eventually meet and were quite thorough in showing us around. We found the villa to be very remote and nothing much within walking distance, but we had cars so this wasn't a huge problem and there are lots of beautiful places to visit within an hours drive and supermarkets about a 10 minute drive away. The villa is really well kitted out with everything you could need and we really enjoyed our week there! There is wifi in the main house which was great, but you couldn't pick it up in any of the rooms in the outbuildings which was a shame. All in all, I would recommend it to anyone who wants a nice villa, with lots of space, as long as you are happy to drive everywhere!

Our experience of Villa Barbara was in general good to very good. There were a few minor niggles but nothing of major concern. Villa - very good infrastructure and pool- which was well looked after. Interesting area, good restaurants, friendly neighbours and lots of sunshine. Unfortunately, the burglary just after we arrived did mar the whole experience. However, HelloApulia staff were helpful and pleasant - and the free boat tour was appreciated. regards Brian S.

Large, very spacious, airy house with a magnificent pool. Excellent, helpful agency. Only caution is how large your party is. We were 15, with six children under 10. We had planned for the four older ones to sleep in one room, but this turned out to be in a separate building with no toilet, so that did not work. Would be fine for older children who don't mind going to another building to go to the toilet at night. Area around strongly recommended; much prettier than expected.
