Beautiful villa for 12 people with private pool and panoramic view

The pool and garden areas were really nice and clean. Communication with Rocco was very good and our needs were responded quickly. One evening we enjoyed a delicious dinner made by Rocco. The accommodation could do some updating and for 10 people the indoor space is quite small, if it rains. However, we had a very good holiday and we enjoyed it very much.

Good communication with Rocco and very quick responses to questions. Rocco is a welcoming host and has a beautiful home. The pool is the star of the property with plenty of space to chill outside. The surrounding garden was immaculate and enhanced the beauty of the space. The property was very clean. The location was ideal with a supermarket nearby. The nearby town had bars, cafes, bakeries and a gelato shop. Ideally located to discover the nearby beaches. Rocco organised a boat trip for us to explore the caves. Highly recommend staying here.

The contact with the owner was impeccable, the villa was very nice also the rooms. The furnishings & bathrooms are a bit outdated. The pool and grounds are great, we enjoyed it

This property is absolutely stunning. The pool is a dream. So large and the outdoors is beautifully decorated. Our communication with Rocco was great before and during our arrival and once on site. He and one of his friends helped get us a 3 hour boat tour along caves of Santa Maria De Leuca with Mari 2 Leuca. The villa is lovely and decorated in Italian style with what looked to be some classic beautiful furniture not modern. It makes the villa special. It was a little difficult to find at first as the road sign name is worn off from the sign. But once we found it it was so easy to access Castrignano or Santa Maria De Leuca. If we would ever return to this area I’d rebook in a heartbeat.We had 4 couples and it was fantastic we each had our own private bedroom that were independently air conditioned. We each had our own bathroom as well. The outdoor veranda was were we spent all our time when not in the pool. Highly recommend this property.

Three generations of our family, with 4 children between 7 and 11 were here for a week. Our initial impression was that the villa and gardens were a spectacular setting but the accommodation areas were a bit basic and not what we expected for the 'luxury' description, as has also been described in other reviews. Be aware that the two outbuildings are the original old farm buildings/trullis. This therefore with young children gave some complications for who would sleep where. Rocco, our host was very helpful giving recommendations for restaurants and for a boat trip to the caves with Stefano, who tailored it to our needs and was wonderful. The kitchen was well equipped for the eleven of us for cooking and eating in for some of our lunches and evening meals and there are two big fridge freezers, which was perfect for keeping food, water and alcohol cool! By far the star of the villa was the pool and garden area. We virtually lived outside the whole time, the outside covered area was perfect for us all to eat together and for shaded sanctuary from the heat of the day for reading etc. In summary it is a charming place in a beautiful setting and just a little bit of maintenance and updating/replacement of some of the 'tired'/broken equipment and fittings would make a big overall difference. In the end, we fell in love with the place and its rustic charm. Overall the positives far outweighed the negatives and we would re book it if the opportunity arose.

We had a multi- generational holiday at this villa and everyone would highly recommend it. The main house has a large kitchen, sun room and three spacious bedrooms. There are also two lovely additional bedrooms away from the main house. So privacy for everyone. The outdoor spaces were fantastic. The pool was wonderful, everyone spent hours in it. There was a lovely dinning and sitting area beside the house as well as a bbq area and gazebo w/bar. There is a well stocked Eurospar/grocery store nearby but a car is best for getting into town.

Our two week stay was all we wanted it to be. We explored surrounding towns of St.M. de Leuca, Castro, Lecce, Gallipoli and many other tiny villages surrounding the villa. The locals were all welcoming, friendly, always ready to assist us and in so many instances showered us with small gifts like fresh lemons and other produce, local wines, and regional olive oil! To explore as we did, a car is a must, as only one seaside town in within a 30 minute walk. We requested to have some meats, cheeses and wine available upon our arrival since we arrived about 2200 and our host, Rocco, had a marvelous spread for us that filled the long kitchen table. What a feast!! Thank you, Rocco. And thank you also for being available to us whenever we had questions or concerns. At one time the villa must have been quite grand; it is now a bit tired. The sun and rain shelters leak; outdoor furniture, for the most part is wobbly and rusted; the pool bar area is not usable, nor were the grill and fire pit. But in a way this added to the charm of the villa because it didn't have the five star hotel stuffiness. The pictures of the villa were misleading in that the staging was far superior to the actual condition of the property as a whole and must of have been taken many years ago. We spent many relaxing hours around the pool which is the highlight of the property and if your stay is a short one, can provide sufficient fun for the whole family without having to leave the villa. Arrivederci !

I think we were probably the first guests of the season as the rooms smelt musty and the beds were damp. After a couple of days this improved. The rooms in the main house were better as we had hot showers but the outside rooms struggled to get hot water and the water didn’t drain away properly. Not all the rooms had hanging space in the wardrobes and there were very few hangers. In spite of the above, we had a fabulous time, loved the area which had a good supermarket nearby, fabulous restaurants and beaches. If the above problems were sorted it would have been perfect.

Rocco is a great host and the location is perfect. The pool is to die for and our grandchildren and entire family never got enough of the pool and surroundings. Trips to the beach were a breeze (but go early) and the restaurants (more than we could count) were all great, as was the local market. We will definitely return. Thanks Rocco The Rubin Family

We have just had the best 10 days at Villa Tiziana. Two families with 3 teenagers. Beautiful rustic villa, incredible pool and outside space. Everything you need and supermarket just 5 minutes walk away. Communication with Rocco was excellent, he also came with his lovely family one evening to cook a meal for us, authentic Puglia dishes. There is a small town nearby, Santa Maria de Leuca with plenty of restaurants. 15 min drive is Pesculouse with the most beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea. Lots to see and do in the area. Will definitely come back. Thanks Rocco.
