Modern Villa with pool, sea view and mediterranean garden

This was beautiful Villa remodeling 10yrs ago….. now in need of updating!!! Its electrical service is too small run all its amenities….the main circuit breaker tripped 3x’s during our stay! Furniture is all from IKEA and falling apart! Not what you would expect from a Villa of this quality. Owners are in denial of all the updates needed. Caused lots of stress during our vacation. VRBO also did not respond back! We booked a hotel for the second part of our trip

Beautiful villa, lovely pool and outside space, perfect for 3 couples. Immaculate and comfortable, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Worked well for a no car holiday, Torre A Mare was walkable in 20 minutes and busses were regular. Bikes also available at the Villa.

A perfect villa for our party of two couples. Wonderfully equipped. We loved the pool and the outside space was lovely, especially the roof terrace. Our host Michelle could not have been more helpful - he even took us to a large supermarket on our first day to do a big shop so that we didn’t have to carry heavy items from the local shop - thank you once again Michelle. 100 yards to the sea front and the bus stop was just around the corner. We bought wonderful fresh fish from the local fish shops and bread from the bakery. 25 minute walk or 5 minutes on the bus into Torre a Mare. The wine shop, Bar 12/ and Sydney’s bar all excellent as was Restaurant Nicola. Buses were only 1€ per journey - amazing! We were able to explore by local bus and then trains from Bari. (Torre a Mare train station was too far out and not easily reached on foot.). Highly recommend visits to Bari, Trani, Polignano a Mare, Alberobello and Lecce. Would not recommend Mola di Bari. We were sorry not to fit in Matera so will have to come back ?

Beautiful villa - many extra touches- lots of thought to provide everything you could need - 4 adult and 1 year old twins all had an amazing time - wonderful memories created - thank you

A well designed, well maintained and well serviced villa. There are three terraces, one in front of the house where one can sit under a balcony when it rains, one in the back near the pool and one on the roof, very large and very comfortable. The house is luxuriously furnished, al in very good taste. 15 mins driving from lovely Bari with its medieval centre and plenty of dining and shopping opportunities, it makes for an ideal location. You need a car though. 20 minutes drive from the airport. When renting a car it is advisable to book in advance as it can be very busy there.

This house has all the facilities you can think of, everything has been taken care of perfectly. Well designed, well maintained, well serviced. If offers three terraces, one in front of the house, here one can dine under a roof. One in the back around the swimming pool and a large one on the roof. We had a small child of 2, no problems. Three bedrooms, complete with bathrooms, offer privacy. Then there is a large area with living room, dining room and kitchen. 15 minutes drive from Bari (you do need a car there) which is a lovely city with medieval centre and ample opportunities for dining and shopping. In short, can't be better! Recommended!

Villa Isabella was perfect for our stay of 4 adults and 2 children. The location is great. Not far to walk to Torre a Mare, or catch the local bus which runs regularly and takes less than 10 minutes. It was about 30 minutes on the bus into Bari. This was a relaxing holiday we decided to forego the car as we knew in August we would not be wanting to travel around and certainly our two grandsons would not be up for it. We didn't need it, Torre a Mare has some great restaurants, a supermarket which is well stocked and bakeries. It is very Italian, which is exactly what we wanted. There are also plenty of places to buy fresh fish along the road from the villa. There is also a restaurant about 5 minutes walk. The villa is well thought out and very comfortable with plenty of outside space. The pool was lovely. Maria was there to meet us and very welcoming and helpful. Michelle was at the end of the phone when our driver could not find the location and their cousin Angelo was also on hand if we needed him (which luckily we didn't). We can highly recommend this villa and would have no hesitation in holidaying there again.

We had a great experience staying with Michele & Maria, the villa lived up to our expectations, its was very clean, well equipped and the location is very close to the sea and if you like seafood the local fishmongers are worth a visit. The pool was refreshing, the roof terrace was so pleasant that we could have stayed all day but there is limited shade so be careful. We had a couple of short power outages during our stay but never more than 10-15mins but other than that everything worked as expected. Torre a Mare is a short bike ride away, there were 3 adult bikes available and we enjoyed the restaurants, coffee shops and gelateria's. We were sorry to leave, especially leaving our new friend, the neighbours friendly dog on the adjacent plot who we named Rufus Hound. If you go, then be sure to give him a biscuit from us.

We loved the villa which is modern with amazing outside areas to sit and relax. The pool is great and from the roof terrace you can see the sea which is 100yards away. You can walk down to the the seafront to purchase freshly caught fish each day or a short drive to a number of local supermarkets to top up on whatever else you may need. We loved the villa and highly recommend it.

My family had a fantastic week staying here. Michele and Maria were very helpful, with lots of local information and dining out suggestions. They even went out of their way to switch one of the double beds to 2 singles for us, which was such a nice thing to do. The villa was perfect for our needs. It's very well equipped and is laid out very well with amazing outdoor seating spaces. We made good use of the herb garden too. The pool was a nice size with easy access and was well maintained. With the fabulous weather we had, we were lucky to be able to use it every day. The only small issue we had was because we had a really large estate car and so parking and manoeuvring was a bit of a squeeze but it was not too big a deal and our other smaller car had no issues at all. Thank you Michele and Maria for a wonderful week in your villa. We really enjoyed every day we had in this lovely, well thought out villa!
