This property is "Stylish Luxury in Puglia". The villa just kept on giving. Booking, communication, welcome pack, the style of every room was just so perfect. So many outdoor spaces to find and create cherished memories. Would like to return here one day. Thank you Alex, Claren and Francesco for an amazing holiday.

What a fantastic stay at a magical villa with an amazing pool. Alex and Francesco were the perfect hosts. The location is great, and our teenage boys enjoyed visiting nearby Monopoli during our stay. Lecce is also only an hour or so drive and well worth a visit. We would love to return to this wonderful part of Italy and would highly recommend it.

A beautiful property in the countryside outside of Martina Franca. The house was thoughtfully arranged and had everything we needed for a perfect holiday The trullo bedrooms were wonderfully cool, while the other rooms benefited from welcome air conditioning. a variety of dining spaces to choose from throughout our stay. The pool is larger than average, providing a superb area for both relaxation and fun.The entire property was impeccably clean and well-equipped. We can’t recommend this house highly enough.The owners are very friendly and responsive to any messages or queries.Would definitely come back and recommend to others

We loved the charm of Alex and Claren's property, which was tastefully done, with the rustic trulli and set in pretty grounds.
Unfortunately, our stay was marred by several things. We are used to the heat of Southern Italy and had intentionally picked a home advertised with AC. Unfortunately, we did not read the small print and in the main house, there was only AC in one bedroom. The house was stifling in the 100F/36C heat and our kids really struggled to sleep in their rooms. Just know that the whole home is not air-conditioned.
In addition, the kitchen was cramped with dishes and pans stacked high on eachotehr and hard to access. It was also very hard to cook as their induction burner only gets hot on one burner at a time! When I questioned this, Alex told me it was always that way...very hard to cater for a larger family in this kitchen.
Also- the water in the taps in not drinkable, so you have to buy bottled water for drinking, tea, coffee, ice making etc.
Magnificent pool - this was definitely a high point.
Stunning countryside and we loved the Val d'atria.
Great property manager who could not have been more helpful.
