Stayed 28 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### darioannaester Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Partiamo dall'inizio: - il Sig. Francesco si è da subito dimostrato flessibile in fase di check-in e si è prodigato per venire incontro alle nostre esigenze da milanesi imbruttiti. - la casa è immersa nella quiete della campagna messapica in posizione strategica per delle ferie all'insegna del Relax, Cultura e tanto mare cristallino che circonda questo tratto salentino della nostra splendida Italia. - la casa internamente ci è stata presentata pulita in ogni suo dove (a prova di moglie Imbruttita), arredata con svariati dettagli che denotano attenzione e buon gusto che ti fa sentire Ospite ...e non cliente in una anonima dimora temporanea. Il vasto spazio esterno, da noi sfruttato tantissimo, comprende: - vasto parcheggio - ampio tavolo per colazioni assolate e cene ventilate dal quieto e rigenerante vento salentino - barbecue in muratura - dondolo ed amache - canestro per sfide uno contro uno ...svago per padri e figli iper - ultima ma non ultima...bella ed ampia doccia esterna (con acqua calda) Insomma non manca nulla. Infine per onestà intellettuale mi permetto di scrivere alcune migliorie, ribadisco migliorie (già evidenziate al Sig. Francesco in fase di check out), ventilatore troppo potente e rumoroso anche al minimo per un uso notturno (less is more), assenza dello stampo per i cubetti di ghiaccio e l'asse del bagno non all'altezza del contesto. Concludo sperando di poter quanto prima ritornare per le ferie in questa bella location. Grazie di tutto Dario Riva ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fe55923a-cc5b-4acd-9c66-3e10c81af491-1755783056820.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### darioannaester Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monika B.

It is situated in an olive tree grove which lends itself to peace and quiet, yet it is only a few minutes drive from Ceglie, a beautiful hillside town with so much history as well as lots of great restaurants. The home was very clean and super comfortable. It is exactly as it appears in the pictures. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stay in Puglia. ##### Pam H.

Sep 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location for Puglia with a friendly host A comfortable and quiet villa, suitable for a family of four or just the two of you. A good-sized fridge freezer, hob (gas and electric) plus fan oven means that you can cook full meals if you so desire. There is a brick barbeque and pizza oven outside, but we didn't use them. There's a lot of outside space with good lighting for those warm evenings to sit and drink a glass of wine or two. This was our second visit, so Francesco (the host) must be doing something right. The villa is situated only 10-15 minutes from Ostuni with Ceglie Messapica only 5-10 minutes away - both were our main shopping towns. Although there is a bus service, I would recommend a car as I don't think it was very frequent. For visiting Puglia this is a good place to stay with all of the obvious tourist locations within 2 hours' drive and long sandy beaches about 30 minutes away. There is a screened, outside shower (with hot water) that is useful for washing off sand from the beach before you enter the villa. Many Puglia towns have an historic centre that is worth visiting, admittedly some are easier to drive into than others, but perseverance is the key. Grottaglie is great for pottery and if you visit Matera then be sure to visit Ginosa which is surrounded by a ravine filled with abandoned cave houses. A great comparison. ##### Chris B.

Besonders für Familien ist es sicher noch viel besser geeignet. Die Lage ist sehr gut als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge für die wunderschönen Städte und deren Sehenswürdigkeiten im Valle d'Itria. Auch die nächstgelegene und nicht so bekannte Stadt Ceglie ist auf den zweiten Blick wunderschön. ##### Ingrid A. Stayed 8 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine H.

Der Vermieter ist sehr herzlich und immer ansprechbar. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir haben die schöne Umgebung und umliegenden Städte (Ostuni, Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino, Martina Franca usw) und auch die Dörfer mit dem Rad erkundet. Auch das Meer ist nicht weit. Danke Francesco für die Gastfreundschaft, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. ##### Christine H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas D.

Das Haus ist sehr gut eingerichtet und hat einen riesigen Garten mir verschiedensten Bäumen und Palmen. Sie können alle Mahlzeiten gemütlich draußen auf der Terrasse einnehmen. Wir durften auch die herzlichen Gastgeber Luciana und Francesco kennenlernen die während unserem ganzen Aufenthalt immer für uns erreichbar waren. Sie haben alles perfekt organisiert von der Anreise bis zur Abreise. Die Umgebung ist voller interessanter und wunderbarer Orte wie Ostuni, Ceglie Messapica, Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Alberobello... um nur ein paar wenige zu nennen die in der Nähe des Ferienhauses leicht mit einem Auto zu erreichen sind. Kurz zusammengefasst können wir das Ferienhaus von Luciana und Francesco nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Nochmals herzlich Dank das wir eure Gäste sein durften und dadurch einen wunderbaren Urlaub erleben konnten. Mille Grazie - Vi speriamo per vedere di nuovo :-) Thomas Judith e Elias ##### Thomas D.

Difficile aggiungere altro alle belle recensioni precedenti, difficile esprimere quanto il nostro soggiorno sia stato piacevole e rilassante. Confermiamo tutto: casa, pulizia, servizi, spazi interni ed esterni, accessori, dotazioni e - soprattutto - accoglienza, gentilezza, simpatia e disponibilità di Francesco. Undici giorni bellissimi. ##### Nicola Luigi Guglielmo D. Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Margreet v.

Just had a two week stay here, end of August beginning of September. The owner, Francesco and his partner, are very helpful, friendly and easy to contact. The directions given from Brindisi airport are some of the easiest to follow and most accurate that we have ever received. The property is in a rural location set back from the road, within a large garden and orchard. Although on a main route between two local towns the noise of the little traffic that there was is well screened out by the trees at the front of the property and didn't disturb us. The holiday let itself is at the back of the house proper (we had sole occupancy) and is modern, light and spacious. It is well appointed, with everything that you need and if you wish to self-cater it has a well appointed kitchen with storage space for your groceries. If you don't, then Ceglie Messapica is only 5 minutes drive away and has a number of restaurants, Ostuni is about 15 minutes away and the coastal, beach areas about 30. The main "patio area" as shown in the property picture is east facing and so captures the sun for breakfast, although there is an area shaded by trees to one side if that's what you prefer. We never had a meal indoors during our stay. Our typical day was a sunny breakfast, then a trip out somewhere (Matera and Lecce are about 90 minutes away if you wish to travel that far) before returning to relax in the afternoon. The addition of an outside, screened shower is a master stroke, especially appreciated when returning from the beach or to cool off if it becomes too hot in the sun. I thoroughly recommend a stay here and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. ##### Chris B. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camilla B.
