Gallipoli. 10 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Baia Verde

An incredibly beautiful house, with lovely views and wide open gardens. The bedrooms are spacious and there are multiple areas to choose from to eat. I think this is the best house we’ve stayed in, in a long time! The photos don’t do it justice. And like many other guests, we lived in the pool.

Antonio was a superb host who was quick to answer all our questions. The pool is definitely the highlight of the Villa. It was great to have a toilet by the pool, as well as ample sun loungers. The rooms are spacious and clean.

We had an incredible stay at Villa Vera in Puglia. The property itself was absolutely stunning – even more beautiful than the photos, which truly don’t do it justice. Every detail was thoughtful, and the villa had such a peaceful and authentic charm.Antonio, our host, made the experience even better. He was warm, welcoming, and always available with helpful tips and information about the area, which made exploring Puglia so much easier and more enjoyable.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay – highly recommended, and we would love to return!

After the hustle of Rome, this was a welcome end to our Italian vacation. We stayed for 9 days and wish we could have stayed longer. As other reviews mention, Antonio is a great home manager and the owner (Fiona) also very helpful/communicative. The trip to the beaches of Baia Verde is more like twenty minutes, but still very manageable. We enjoyed the beaches at Porto Cesareo a bit more (we haven't seen water that nice since Turks & Caicos!) We had a nice day trip to Lecce - highly recommended! Most days were spent playing family games and enjoying the pool. The property really is even better than the pictures show. You are definitely in the deep south of Italy, so things are a bit slower and you can't always trust your phone apps for driving directions, restaurant hours, etc. Many people did not speak English, but we used phone-based apps to translate and it worked well. Very, very friendly people. The property now produces its own limoncello, olive oil and various jams, available for sale and all delicious (make sure you have cash). Ask Antonio / Fiona about getting to-go meals from Martinello Gourmet. Very tasty and reasonably priced. The closest town, Parabita, had a Lidl and a Conad grocery store for all of our needs...about 5-10 minutes from the house. Overally, highly recommended!

fabulous villa absolute luxury, had to move a few bits away from younger children but nevertheless very luxurious. Pool and area very well equipped and clean. Reccomend!

Beautiful villa, with everything you need to spend a great time. Antonio Calo is always here to gie you great advise and make sure your stay will be the best experience you deserve. Strongly recommend this exceptional villa!

Have just had the most wonderful week at Villa Vera. The villa is beautiful and location excellent. It is extremely well equipped with everything that you would want. The pool area is lovely with great views. Antonio the house manager was so helpful and supportive in all our needs. He provided some excellent restaurant recommendations and was so helpful in booking these and others for us!! A fantastic break for our family of 10 with elderly parents and teens!

This is a terrific property with an exceptional property manager who will ensure your stay is seamless. As others mention, the villa is very well appointed. The layout has been well considered and is perfect for groups. Each room is equivalent with good views and access to common areas. The grounds are nicely maintained. You can pick limes, figs, herbs, tomato, aubergine etc. Fire pits, BBQ, roof terrace for sundowners. Fabulous pool area. We spent more time at the villa than we planned given it was such a nice place to spend a summer day. Antonio who takes care of the property offers impeccable service. Attentive, helpful and timely. I would unreservedly recommend this villa to anyone looking to stay in this area.

It was a home from home. Beautifully furnished. Though maybe not for under 5’s. We would definitely book again. Our Host, Antonio was very attentive and friendly. The pool was glorious. Thank you for having us all.

We had a wonderful time staying at the villa! The house itself is amazing, well equipped, clean and has a great pool. Antonio was very helpful with everything we needed and gave us lots of good recommendations. We would love to come back soon!
