About this villa rental
The villa is set in the heart of the Salento countryside, a wonderfully rustic and timeless part of Puglia in the deep south of Italy. It is extremely well-appointed, with modern facilities throughout and a huge terrace surrounding the entire property, ideal for eating, relaxing and sunbathing. The villa has been insulated to keep it pleasantly cool even during the hottest months, but there is also free air-con in the bedrooms and ceiling fans throughout. There are two double bedrooms, 2 shower rooms (one en-suite), free wi-fi, and a family-sized kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. The living area has a TV with a large library of recent films plus Amazon Prime Video, and a sofa bed providing extra sleeping capacity for 2 further guests.
We have a hectare of land with olive groves (please note we are during 2023/24 replanting our olive trees due to a serious disease affecting the whole region - see our pictures), fruit trees and a vineyard, a stone BBQ, and we are developing a garden with lawn and local flora. There is a swimming pool (June - September) with its own dedicated terrace available for guests' exclusive and private use. The villa is peaceful and secluded, with the owners living only 100m away and always on hand to provide any advice or assistance.We are conveniently located in the middle of the Salento region, 20 minutes from the nearest beach and within striking distance of the entire peninsula. Salento has remained unchanged for generations: it is covered with thousands of acres of olive trees, has historic towns and villages, a spectacular coastal road, and countless beaches and coves. Although popular with Italian holidaymakers, it is seldom visited by foreign tourists and the locals will invariably give you a warm welcome. We are also less than half an hour from the wonderful Baroque city of Lecce, probably one of the most beautiful, atmospheric and yet least-visited of major Italian cities. A holiday in Salento is ideal for people who enjoy beach life, or exploring little-known corners of the Mediterranean - or who just want to relax in comfort, soaking up the summer sun.

Wonderful and quietly located villaIt was a wonderful holiday in this lovingly furnished and quietly located villa. The magnificent terrace, surrounded by a very well-kept and beautifully landscaped garden with various flowers and fruit trees, basically served as our living room. It was a dream to be able to spend our holiday outside in the warm air. The sounds of cicadas and crickets added to the Mediterranean flair. This is how I imagine my summer holiday.The pool with the very comfortable loungers is surrounded by flowers and plants, as you can see in the pictures. We loved watching the sunset while dangling our feet in the pool. It is pure idyll and balm for the soul!We enjoyed every day to the full and are already planning to come back.Here are some more helpful information. We like to cook and barbecue on holiday and the facilities were very good. Everything we needed or would have needed was there.The rooms are very well maintained, the Wi-Fi works perfectly even to the pool, the air conditioning in the bedrooms is very quiet and high quality. The beds and pillows are super comfortable. We have rarely slept as well as we did there. We would like to thank our friendly, incredibly well organised and helpful host Bill. His villa is one of the premium villas and hosts for a reason.

We stayed for 2 weeks in July and loved the house and private pool. The house has everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. We had a mixture of days by the pool and BBQs in the evenings and days out. We loved the covered terrace which was great as the days were so hot. The air-conditioning in the bedrooms was a life saver. We visited Otranto, Gallipoli, Matera, Santa Maria de Leuca, and Alberobello. There is so much to do. But special mention has to go to Bill our host who was so helpful to us when we needed to get our car into the garage in Cutrofiano. He gave numerous lifts and translated so the problems were solved with minimum stress and disruption to our holiday. We can't praise Bill enough!! We would love to go back 😀

A wonderfully peaceful location, we were able to relax and feel at home straight away. Bill was extremely helpful and friendly, willing to help out with guidance for the area. The welcome pack of essentials given our late arrival time was wonderful so we could rest after the journey. If we had specific questions Bill was always on hand and helped above and beyond what is expected.
The villa itself was clean, comfortable and spacious with everything you could need for your holiday. The private use pool was a wonderful respite from the heat of the day. We definitely intend to return to the villa to repeat the experience.

Stayed for 8 nights. Communication with Bill prior to our trip was really good. When we arrived he was there to meet us and went through local restaurants, beaches, etc. (His green book is an invaluable source of information). The villa was exactly what we wanted. In a lovely countryside location but 10 minute drive to restaurants and 25 mins to the east, west and south coast, ideal for sightseeing and the beaches. Villa itself is great, spacious, spotlessly clean, huge grounds and great pool. Really enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend.
