Had a great time staying with Rosa, Giovanna and their family. They were very friendly hosts, sharing their pizza when we arrived and offering us some produce from their garden. Everything in the house suited us perfectly for the orchid searching holiday that we had planned. We did not realise that most of the smaller towns and villages in the Gargano would be completely closed down during the afternoons but that was not a fault of the accommodation. ##### Cherry T.

Apr 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Hat nicht unseren Erwartungen entsprochen Wir haben für Mitte März 2025 einen Aufenthalt von 10 Tagen gebucht.Die Wohnung hat in mehreren Punkten nicht unseren Erwartungen entsprochen:(1) Die Wohnung hat zwar eine Heizung - aber es ist eine Holzheizung, d.h. man muss selbst regelmässig Holz nachlegen. Sowohl tagsüber als auch nachts.(2) Der Hund, der an Gäste gewöhnt sein soll, hat uns dauer-angebellt. Nicht einmal ein Hundeleckerli von seinem Herrchen konnte ihn beruhigen.(3) Der Lago di Varano war die letzte Station unser 2-monatigen Reise in Süditalien. Überall konnten wir problemlos unser Elektroauto an einer Haus-Steckdose laden - sogar in der sehr ländlichen Basilikata. Nicht hier. Das gesamte Haus (2 Wohnungen plus Wasserpumpe für die Frischwasser-Versorgung) hat lediglich eine Leistung von 5 kWh. ##### Judith S.

Sowohl das Gastgeberehepaar als auch die dazugehörigen Hunde, Katzen und Hühner haben wir liebgewonnen. Da beide aus der Region stammen und perfekt deutsch sprechen, erhielten wir viele interessante Informationen jenseits von Reiseführern.

Sie ist sehr gross, geräumig, sehr hochwertig ausgebaut und mit allen Dingen ausgestattet, die man zur Selbstversorgung benötigt. Zudem diese wundervolle Dachterrasse! Die Sonnenuntergänge dort zu geniessen mit Blick auf den See und das Meer in der Ferne ist Luxus pur. Die Lage allgemein ist sehr idyllisch, inmitten von Olivenhainen. Wir und besonders die Kinder durften auch den Garten und den Zugang zum See nutzen. Die Gastgeber sind sehr, sehr gastfreundschaftlich. Sie geben gerne Tipps zur Umgebung, zu Restaurants und Reisezielen weiter. Die Administration von der Buchung bis hin zu unserer Ankunft vor Ort hat reibungslos geklappt.

Da es zwischendurch (im Oktober) kalt und nass wurde, sorgte ein Kamin, der zugleich die Heizung versorgt, abends für Wärme.

The apartment is quite large, and the kitchen was one of the best equipped we've experienced. The rooftop terrace has an incredible view of the sunset over Lago di Varanno. It's a bit of drive to some of the other areas (e.g. the beautiful coastline south of Vieste), but that's true of most places on the peninsula because of the limited number of roads, most of which are quite narrow and twisty. Weather was quite good for the end of October. Rosa delighted us with fresh produce from the garden. We loved the first press olive oil that they shared with us.. Giovanni speaks Italian, German and English (or more). He satisfied our curiousity about olive harvest farming and offered valuable information about the Gargano region. Again, can't say too many good things about our hosts, and we just wish we had a chance to have dinner with them one night. We would return to this house and view. ##### David H.

Je kunt je hele vakantie bij het huisje blijven, maar het biedt ook, dankzij goede verbinding met achterland, een goede uitvalsbasis voor dagtrips. De Gargano is zeer veelzijdig als het gaat om cultuur, natuur en recreatie op o.a. aan of op het water. Daarnaast zijn Giovanni en Roza, de eigenaren, ontzettend gastvriendelijke mensen, die alle moeite doen om hun gasten een goed gevoel te geven. @ Giovanni, Roza: Hartelijk bedankt!

The hosts were so wonderful to us; they shared their bounty in so many ways, with food, goods from their garden, their table, and their friendship, which we hope to maintain for years to come. The accommodations were perfect; the kitchen was exceptional and our son, who loves to cook, couldn't have been happier. This home has been perfectly restored to offer everything you may be looking for and the terrace above offered an eye-watering view of Lago di Varano and beyond to the Adriatic. Not far, you will find quaint villages with good markets and restaurants, sea-side walks and beaches, and a visit to Vico del Gargano and other Adriatic villages nearby should not be missed. It's a pefect location in the Gargano, and you are surrounded by ancient olive trees, and gardens, and just pure beauty. The outdoor space for children is perfect! Do not miss an opportunity to stay here. I know we will be back again - and soon, I hope! Thank you, hosts! ##### Tina F. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim K. Sep 17, 2018 #### Angekommen Die eine oder der eine wird sich fragen „Vermieter wohnt im Haus“, kann das gut gehen? Ja es kann. Diese Vermieter hatten eine Geschichte zu erzählen, wir waren dabei und wir haben die sprichwörtliche Gastfreundschaft kennengelernt. Wir haben zusammen gelacht, gefeiert, gekocht, geerntet, gefischt, waren gemeinsam auf Tour, nie gezwungen, immer locker und entspannt. Tolle Tipps vom Gastgeber. Ein schönes Haus, gut ausgestattet, Haustiere zum Kuscheln für die Kinder und See und Meer waren unsere Freunde. Super Küche, Spaß beim Kochen und wenn was fehlte, Rosa war da. Ein super Urlaub, wir kommen wieder und zwar bald. ##### Tim K. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### VIDIL P. Nov 3, 2017 #### Accueil extraordinaire, maison très confortable, Gargano fabuleux en arrière saison Nous avons l'impression d'avoir été reçus chez des amis ! Nos hôtes ont su partager avec nous le plaisir qu'ils ont à vivre sur le lac de Varano, au milieu des oliviers, et nous ont même gâtés avec des plats faits maison ! L'arrière-saison est une période idéale pour visiter les Pouilles, temps délicieux et pas un touriste à l'horizon. Maison très confortable, vue splendide. ##### VIDIL P.

Oct 7, 2017 #### Ein Platz zum Entspannen und Wohlfühlen Schon der Empfang durch die Vermieter war herzlich und ließ auf einen entspannten Urlaub hoffen, dann der Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang über dem See mit einem Glas Wein auf der Dachterrasse. Die Wohnung hat alles, was es für einen guten Urlaub braucht. Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet. Trotz der ruhigen Lage liegen lange Sandstrände und viele sehenswerte Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe und sind mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Rosa und Giovanni stehen immer mit Insidertips und -infos bereit und sind ein unkompliziertes Vermieterpaar, deren Offenheit und Herzlichkeit zum Gelingen eines wunderschönen Urlaubs beigetragen haben. Giovanni, wir müssen noch die Partie Tischtennis nachholen, wir kommen wieder! ##### Dieter S.

We had an enjoyable time - the view is beautiful, the apartment is large and vey well equiped, great kitchen, clean, 3 large bedrooms. Everything was very clean, and the very best of this rental is the hosts. They did give us a very welcome feeling, provided us with their home-grown products and invited us to join true italian life. This rental will be a great stay for a family who likes the laid back italian lifestyle and enjoy a quiet location! ##### Kathelijne V.

Mal waren wir im Appartement Villa Castelluccia und verbrachten wieder einen wunderschönen Urlaub. Den vorherigen positiven Bewertungen kann man nur zustimmen. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, genauso wie das riesengroße Grundstück. Die Vermieter super nett, lieb und hilfsbereit und wir freuen uns schon auf August 2017. ##### Dario M.

Jan 31, 2017 #### Gastfreundliche Besitzer, Wunderschöne Villa Das Appartement ist sehr modern und stilvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Villa ist sehr ruhig gelegen, perfekt zum ausspannen und abschalten. Viele Ausflugsziele sind in kurzer Zeit (ca 30 min) mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Alles ist sehr gepflegt und sauber. Wir hatten einen sehr sehr schönen Urlaub, was wir auch der außerordentlichen Gastfreundschaft der Besitzer zu verdanken haben! Wir kommen gerne wieder. ##### Jill A. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Rapallo-Hotels-Excelsior-Palace-Hotel.h21704.Hotel-Information) > > [Italiana Hotels Cosenza](https://www.expedia.ca/Cosenza-Hotels-Italiana-Hotels-Cosenza.h1187073.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Le Fioriere](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Fioriere.h1897502.Hotel-Information) > > [Cristina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/SantAgnello-Hotels-Cristina-Hotel.h16729.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Manning Relais](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Villa-Manning-Relais.h21971579.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [Verdura Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sciacca-Hotels-Verdura-Resort.h2512326.Hotel-Information) > > [Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Ravello-Hotels-Caruso.h1129096.Hotel-Information) > > [Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Conca-Dei-Marini-Hotels-Monastero-Santa-Rosa-Hotel-Spa.h4959841.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Flora](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Flora.h919640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sorrento Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Hilton-Sorrento-Palace.h791135.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel de La Ville](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-De-La-Ville.h921822.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Excelsior Amalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Excelsior-Amalfi.h1105705.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Giorgio](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-San-Giorgio.h1709306.Hotel-Information) > > [Torre del Parco](https://www.expedia.ca/Lecce-Hotels-Torre-Del-Parco-1419-Dimora-Storica.h4356649.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo Daniele, a Member Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Gagliano-Del-Capo-Hotels-Palazzo-Daniele.h34364623.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mary](https://www.expedia.ca/Vico-Equense-Hotels-Hotel-Mary.h4947835.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marina Riviera](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Marina-Riviera.h1419029.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Margherita](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Margherita.h915378.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Minerva](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Hotel-Minerva.h1077134.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Santa-Caterina.h2541496.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Chalet Al Foss](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermiglio-Hotels-Hotel-Chalet-Al-Foss.h9810090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lake Como](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hilton-Lake-Como.h17246644.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Panoramic](https://www.expedia.ca/Maiori-Hotels-Residence-Hotel-Panoramic.h44539994.Hotel-Information) > > [Altafiumara Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Villa-San-Giovanni-Hotels-Altafiumara-Resort-Spa.h1366348.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Capotaormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-UNAHOTELS-Capotaormina.h22100.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-NH-Collection-Grand-Hotel-Convento-Di-Amalfi.h2885039.Hotel-Information) > > [Majestic Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/SantAgnello-Hotels-Majestic-Palace-Hotel.h45862.Hotel-Information) > > [Borgobianco Resort & Spa Polignano - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Polignano-A-Mare-Hotels-Borgobianco-Resort-Spa-Polignano-MGallery.h2492875.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Miramalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Miramalfi.h1130642.Hotel-Information)
