Magnificent villa with swimming pool in the centuries-old olive trees of Salento near Ostuni.

Great property close to many beach and city attractions. Owners very kind and helpful.Only issue was a/c in main living room( there is none). Also screens on the main doors and windows. Fantastic pool. Big house with splendid views.

We booked for 10 days at Francesca’s villa. The villa was as is described and situated in a thick olive grove. There are views from the sea which is about a 10 minute drive to the small seaside town. 10 mins to Caravingo Which is a cute, quiet little town. It’s 20 mins from Brindisi which is a gorgeous little city with an amazing promenade. Overall Giovanna and Francesca were fantastic hosts who were very attentive and responsive to any initial questions we had. It provided a very rustic and authentic Italian experience for us

Very nice place for our group; Giovanni very helpful

Nice place to come back to after days of exploring Puglia.

The villa is even more beautiful than described, very clean and comfortable, and Rita and Giovanni are great hosts. Very welcoming and responsive for any questions or issues. We were two families staying together and had lots of space. The pool was amazing, very well maintained and clean, with an outdoor shower. Many outdoor sitting areas, and we enjoyed eating on the porch every day. Wifi and air conditioning worked well. Nearest town and groceries are about a 15 minute drive away, so there is nothing within walking distance, but well situated to visit nearby beaches and towns for sightseeing by car. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful spot for a home base for their visit to Puglia!

We arrived with a smiling welcome even though we were late. We stayed for 3 full weeks enjoying all Apuglia has to offer and we always felt we had a home to return to. Our hosts, Rita & Giovanni , were the best! They answered all our questions and needs and they were very responsive if we needed anything. The villa was very comfortable and spacious serving all our families needs. The grounds were meticulously kept and the pool! Well let's just say I spent every day swimming in that beautiful, large clean pool, we all loved it! We didn't want to leave, the property, the area and most of all our new friends, Rita & Giovanni. We hope to come back someday and if we do they are the hosts we will look for! Grazie Mille!

We explored all of the great sights of Puglia, but coming home to this villa was the best part of the day. The property is large with lots of fruit trees and olive trees around the property, the pool is spectacular and the home is immaculate. The owners are very responsive and went out of their way to make it a perfect experience. If you go to Puglia, this villa is in the center of it all. Look no further- this is a paradise. CH family

The villa was really lovely , very spacious and just as described - if not better . The outside areas were brilliant , and the pool was beautiful. The area is so tranquil and peaceful . We had a minor problem which was sorted out immediately. Communication was excellent . 1 small suggestion perhaps to have a few more mugs ? But we had a super week . Thankyou .

We stayed for 3 weeks during August 2022 and had an amazing time. Rita and Giovanni are literally two of the nicest people I’ve ever met and went massively over and above to make our stay memorable and easy (providing recommendations, organising taxis/baby sitters/chef services/ clearing services, and even providing some medical advice!). The highlight of the trip was Rita and Giovanni coming over for dinner to make pizza’s in the professional pizza oven, which is part of the outdoor kitchen. We felt like a real Italian family! The house is great and exactly as advertised and the ground are beautiful. The saltwater pool and outdoor shower got plenty of use with the kids and were a big hit. The villa is an easy drive to Ostuni but there are countless equally beautiful and interesting cities within 30-40 minute drive to explore. The beach is an easy c. 10 minute drive away as well and many beautiful options. You will need a rental car as the house is not really walkable to anything. Overall a fantastic trip, house, and most importantly hosts.

We have planned our trip to Puglia and were looking for a convenient, central and beautiful location to stay during our 12 day trip. Rita & Giovanni Villa has exceeded all our expectations and we truly enjoyed our stay from the very beginning to the end. It is a charming property that has everything you need to relax and enjoys vacation being surrounded by ancient olive groves offering tranquility and peace while having all the amenities of the modern home. It is very conveniently located to all the key attractions and sightseeing places Puglia has to offer. Rita and Giovanni are simply amazing hosts, super easy and highly responsive in communication, always accessible and very helpful with local tips and suggestions to enjoy the area. We highly recommend this property and hosts and will be gradly returning in the future!
