Amazing
UNA CASA DA SOGNO Abbiamo soggiornato in questa Villa magnifica, una settimana, per festeggiare il mio compleanno. È stato davvero fantastico! La casa era perfetta per il nostro gruppo di 10 amici, la cucina così ben accessoriata. La zona piscina era favolosa con acqua salata e ampie zone di relax . Ma la cosa più bella era il secondo giardino segreto, pieno di alberi da frutta dove potevano raccogliere melograni e lime, per fare cocktail buonissimi. Uscendo dalla porta della Villa potevamo prendere il gelato o la pizza, per poi tornare nella nostra oasi. Con l’aiuto di Maria abbiamo trovato una chef itinerante locale che ha organizzato un pranzo succulento nell’agrumeto addobbando con luci di atmosfera. Ricordo indimenticabile di una settimana da sogno . Spero di tornarci presto.

Wonderful location, questionable property
Great communication before our holiday with the property owner, met us upon arrival. A whistle stop tour of the property which is huge, split across three floors and a number of rooms.
The first thing I would say before commenting further is that Poggiardo is amazing. Our party comprised of 6 adult adults, an 18 year old and 15 year old and two small children and we wanted a location to suit all. Poggiardo did not disappoint as we stepped right from the property into this gorgeous little town with bars, pizzerias and restaurants galore and only 15 minutes by car to the beaches. Drive around Puglia and be sure to be wowed by sun drowned, glittering beaches, water parks and much more.
Palazzo Umberto was beautiful upon first impression but upon closer inspection, needs a great deal of maintenance work. We had to argue considerably with the owner after days of the electricity cutting out up to 12 times a day. This was because of not enough power being supplied to the property, as confirmed when an electrician was called to the property. Eventually, she agreed to pay to increase the power.
The furniture is tired and weak, the recreation room featured in the photos is unusable due to considerable damp and the foozball table is broken. The owner would benefit from adopting the attitude of other property managers I have rented villas from in the past by including linen and towel changes into her price. We did not receive this service.
The property has huge potential to be a great place to stay but needs a lot of work. We hope that this review will encourage the necessary changes.

Wonderful villa in the heart of Poggiardo
We had a fantastic stay at Palazzo Umberto. The property is enormous, with three relatively self contained sections / apartments within a private and secure compound, in the very centre of Poggiardo. The facilities were great for us (travelling as 2x families plus friends) - lots of garden space for kids to run around, lovely pool area, different courtyards to relax, comfortable bedrooms, plus a wonderful terrace for outdoor dining. We also loved the character of the property - the age, charm and history of the building is retained (with decor to match); while still having all the modern facilities for an extremely comfortable stay. Location is excellent too - Poggiardo is a nice little town, less than 15-20min drive to the beach, some lovely restaurants and cafes, and Wednesday market also worth checking out. Maria was a wonderful host too - check-in was super easy and thorough, with good communication and advice provided throughout our stay.
Thanks Maria!

Amazing villa
We stayed as 2 families of 4, there was a huge amount of space and the outside areas were fantastic. We spent a lot of time chilling by the pool and there is a large outside eating area with barbecue where we spent lazy evenings eating gnocchi and drinking Italian wine. There is a pool table and ping pong table in the basement which the teenagers enjoyed. Maria was the perfect hostess, there were fresh figs waiting for us on arrival and she gave us some great recommendations, we especially enjoyed the portici doc pasticceria for breakfast, delicious pastries and caffe leccese. Plenty of room for parking and lots of interesting places to explore in easy driving distance. All in all a great holiday, highly recommended villa.

A beautiful house
This is an amazing and beautiful house with a huge amount of space inside and out with a large garden, terrace and orchard, in a premium location in Poggiardo. Having parking was really great - even if we did get blocked in by neighbours a few times! Our holiday did not get off to a good start though. We had asked a month before to postpone to next year as our flights were cancelled, and the UK govt had still not lifted the advice not to travel. We were told no, and also no return of our deposit, only to see the cancellation policy changed on the website two weeks later to full refund with 2 weeks notice, by which time we had paid for more flights. Maria is very friendly and helpful and provided some of the things missing from the inventory (microwave, beach towels), also some local info. There is no hot tub - there are 4 jets in the pool, there are no kayaks/canoe or boat. The house was expansive and lovely, except the smaller ground floor bedroom which was very damp and smelly - the supplied dehumidifier did not solve the problem and the air conditioning did not cool the room. The bathrooms were very tired and need updating - not the standard you would expect of such a grand house. 3 out of the 5 showers were dribbles, 2 were hand held and so not actually showers. There were no shelves or units to put your toiletries so they went on the floor. We were not offered clean towels or sheets during our two week stay. There was some issue with the noise - a dog on the next building roof barking all night and the cigarette machine in the square playing music all night. Maria told us the gardener would come on Monday but he came several times without warning, put in the pool cleaning machine leaving us not able to go in the pool sometimes up until midday. Also someone came in and took the recycling when we were out, helpful yes but not a comfortable feeling. The restaurants have gardens at the back which made for a lovely evening meal, Cafe Borghese was beautiful . Ristorante Ozium staff were very friendly. Caffe Italia was our daily coffee fix and Deborah was very friendly and served fantastic coffee and juices. The market on Wednesdays is fabulous - clothes, shoes, bags, food, homewares. The location in town was great, in the historic centre, but NOT 3km from the sea (which would have been walkable). Be aware the local beaches are rocks or concrete jetties and very crowded; the beach pic in the details is not local.

A wonderful three weeks
This property is beautiful, with thick stone walls and high, arched ceilings, located in the center of a charming and friendly town, and close to all the spectacular beaches of southern Puglia. We were six adults and all very comfortable in the palazzo. We especially loved the Wednesday street market that stretched for blocks and began just outside our door. In fact, everything we needed was a short walk from the house: butcher, baker, coffee shop, great restaurants and a supermarket. Highly recommended!

We are family of 10 and found that each of our children and their family had their own private spacious accommodation complete with their own kitchen.
The Palazzo has been restored to a very high standard and Maria’s attention to detail throughout is perfetto!
Maria is extremely friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.
Poggiardo has everything you could possibly need, cafes, bars, grocers, fish monger and butchers. The market on Wednesday is vast, the fresh groceries and bread were wonderful.
The people are so kind and friendly.
We have visited the region before several times and there are lots of stunning little towns inland and by the coast.

Salento Perfection
Our family group of 12 had an amazing two weeks in this unique historic property right in the heart of Salento. Poggiardo has plenty of character and is perfectly placed to explore the coast line, as well as Lecce, Otranto and Gallipoli. It also has a fantastic supermarket and bakery. Maria was a great host and assisted us with various bookings and other requests. Highly recommend Bar Portici, Vini Menhir Salento, Lievito Madre and Cafe Borghese. The house is perfect for groups who would like some independence as each level has seperate kitchens and bathrooms. We would certainly like to return one day. Grazie Maria!

Charming, comfortable and unique multi-generational family stay
This is a special property that is laid out like 3 separate units on 3 floors, each with own kitchen/kitchenette and bathrooms and living areas. I wasn't very sure from the description about layout but here it is: ground floor = large open plan living/dining area with full bath, open to a double bed (no door to separate); door to another bedroom and full bath off the main bedrooms, kitchen with small fridge/stove/sink. Entrance opens to pool/courtyard; 1st floor = Entrance off outdoor dining verandah overlooking pool (covered), very functional full kitchen, dining room , living room, 2 bedrooms off living room, 2 bathrooms; 2nd floor = enter from stairwell off main kitchen, up several flights of stairs, main sitting area, closed bedroom/bath, kitchenette, open to rooftop.
Overall, beautiful, historic-feeling but well-renovated property with thoughtful layout and architecture, suitable for all ages (just be careful of open pool, wasn't an issue for my kids), sunshades over pool are helpful in heat, very clean, Maria was very responsive, remember the deposit in cash and cleaning fee, internet worked well, air cons were useful at night, there are some safety gates by the several sets of stairways, orchard is pleasant; Poggiardo is an adorable, quiet, non-touristy town but was a great point for us to explore the areas within 30 minutes or so- beaches, scenic spots, Otranto, Gallipolli, Lecce. About 1 hour easy drive from Brindisi airport. Wednesday market was at our doorstep. Several nice restaurants for when you don't want to prep at the kitchen at the house. Recommended and our family of 9 (from age 2 to 66) were all happy for the week.

Perfect family holiday
We rented this property with our four grown up children and their partners and had a lovely week enjoying this spacious palace. It was perfect for 5 couples and we enjoyed being right in the centre of Poggiardo with bars and restaurants on our doorstep and a well stocked supermarket a short walk away. Once inside the deceptively large grounds it was peaceful and quiet and we spent many happy hours lounging by the lovely clean pool. Off road parking behind automatic gates was a bonus. Everything was well maintained and Maria was most helpful both during the booking process and in responding promptly to any queries we had during the week. It was a great location for exploring the Salento region - we visited an olive mill, winery, sea caves and beaches - and a great property for an extended family holiday.

Great stay!
We had a great 6 night stay at Maria’s beautifully renovated property. Poggiardo is lovely and well located for day trips to explore all of Southern Puglia. Maria kindly provided restaurant recommendations, and we thoroughly enjoyed the 3 that we tried:
La Piazza, Lievito Madre, Bar Portici.
As there were only 4 of us, we didn’t make full use of the vast amount of space available, occupying only 2 of the 3 floors, and spending most of our time outside; the pool area and patio on the first floor were perfect for enjoying the lovely weather.
Thanks Maria for a great stay!

Fabulous villa in real Italy
What an amazing villa in the central piazza of this beautiful small town, in walking distance to some lovely restaurants and a fantastic supermarket offering fresh produce. The pool area and garden were stunning. Plenty of space for 12 of us to enjoy sun bathing, swimming and sitting relaxing. When the sun moves away from the pool you can still enjoy the sunshine on the roof terrace. All the bedrooms are generous and very comfortable. A great location to explore the towns of Lecce, Otranto and Gallipoli and in easy reach of the rocky eastern coast and sandy beaches to the west. Maria, our host was amazing and always happy to help with lots of useful information about the area. I would highly recommend this villa.

Great property, Poggiardo is beautiful and the locals welcoming
Beautiful renovated winery, vaulted stone ceilings, huge rooms and various terraces on which to eat, BBQ, watch the sun set, look out onto the town square and enjoy the hustle and bustle of Poggiardo. There is also a orange garden and pool. Located in the centre of the Poggiardo, everything you need is on your door step, including friendly cafes and restaurants. The standard of food is excellent. Maria was on hand to assist when ever needed and made out stay even better. Would definitely visit again.
