Villa Icaria - Carovigno

Entering the driveway to the Villa we were immediately impressed by the beauty and elegance of the building and gardens. There were 8 of us but the villa would comfortably accommodate 10 adults. Everything about the place was excellent - it was like our own private oasis. The beds were large and comfortable and each had a lovely ensuite bathroom. The 2 indoor living areas were also great if you needed your own quiet time Outdoors there were plenty of places to sit and relax in the sun or in the shade. Gerardo the owner was very helpful and always responded quickly to any questions we had about the property or the town of Carovigno. The historical center of the town was rather lovely and felt like a community without the overwhelming tourist pressures some other towns seemed to suffer. There are great traditional restaurants in the old town, most within walking distance of the villa. The villa is also ideal as a base for exploring the surrounding Puglia towns and countryside. If we go to Puglia again we would certainly want to stay here and feel happy to recommend to others

This is a huge, lovely house. The owner takes meticulous care of the house and surroundings. Each bedroom was enormous with it's own bathroom. You cannot say that any bedroom is better than the next. The pool was wonderful also - long enough so that I could swim laps. The town of Carovigno is charming once you get on top of the hilltop. There are many restaurants to choose from hidden behind the castle walls or down the allies. It is very unspoiled in comparison to the more famous towns in the region. Those other towns are very close by however. I rent homes all the time. This was one of my favorites.

Villa Icaria was a great place to stay with a beautiful pool, fantastic garden and spacious house. The owners were very friendly and took care of the small problems we had immediately so that was very good. We had a great time at this beautiful villa with our whole family!

Close enough to Carovigno to walk to a couple of restaurants. We had a pizza chef one night come make dinner. We used the pool all day every day! The weather was glorious and we ate outside. It was ideal for two families with the upstairs downstairs bedrooms. Don’t miss going into the centre of town, very cute old town. Carovigno is close to the sea as well as many other towns!

We pulled up to the villa and it was more beautiful than what it looked in the pictures and the pictures looked very nice. The first night the lower level air was not working and we called the individuals taking care of the property. They were there in 5 minutes and it was a breaker that had tripped. Extremely nice and helpful individuals. It was not clear in the description that you have to pay 100 Euros per day cash if you want the heater turned on for the pool. We were having a pool day and wanted it on. Be sure to tell them at what temperature you want the pool because otherwise it may be set lower than you expect. However, they apologized and allowed us to keep it on longer as a result. Again, very accomodating and super nice!! Everything was extremely clean, there were plenty of dishes, the linens and towels were high quality and the variety of spaces that you could sit were all very charming. There is also a dishwasher and a washing machine that were helpful for our 5 night stay. I would highly recommend this villa as it is beautiful and very safe as you have to enter 2 gates in order to reach the villa. We greatly enjoyed our time and the hosts were most most hospitable.

Perfection

We had a lovely stay at Villa Icaria. It is a huge villa with beautiful decorations and very comfortable beds. The pool is exceptionally clean and well maintained as are the gardens. Carovigno is a lovely small town which comes alive at night. Communication with the owner was easy and informative. Thank you for our stay.
