Could be so much better

The villa itself looks as per the pictures. The villa is set in a neglected large plot. The front garden is not usable, but could be an amazing space. The trees by the pool all need pruning and there are several cactus plants that would be a hazard to small children. The crazy paving around the pool has started to break-up. Several of the pool edging stones are loose. The pool is a great size and very clean. On windy days there were lots of leaves to net out. The sun loungers were comfortable, but difficult to move because of the uneven paving. The gazebo is a great size but the table and chairs are basic plastic so not very comfortable. Also the uneven crazy paving made it difficult to find a position where the table didn’t wobble. The lack of sockets in the bedrooms meant making a choice between, lamp, bug repeller, or fan. The main bathroom is a narrow shower room and whilst the shower is a good size, there is a narrow gap between the wall and the glass screen to squeeze in and out, also there is nowhere close to the shower to hang a towel! The downstairs shower room is an extended understairs cupboard. If you are over 5ft 6ins tall, means you cannot stand up at the toilet or sink without stooping, and you need to duck to get into the shower. You can also see a variety of tools and supplies which are stored in here under the stairs. The kitchen was quite well equipped and we managed to cook several basic meals, as eating out was not possible if you want a drink. No taxis!

Spacious house with massive pool

We have just returned from Puglia where we stayed 10 days at the villa. The location is great as it is 10 min from Ceglie where you find lots of great restaurants, supermarket etc. and Martina Franca (another pretty little town) 20 min away. Beautiful Ostuni is also just 20/25 min drive away. Plenty of other towns are within one hour drive - the house is great to use as a base to explore the area. The beaches near Ostuni are 45 min drive (lido verde etc) and the stunning white beaches and turquoise sea on the Ionian side close to 1 hour (very much worth the extra drive). Unfortunately the owners had COVID when we arrived so a friend handed us the key and gave us basic instructions. The communication with the owners over Whats App was excellent and we received online lists from Martin with favourite restaurants/beaches etc which we found very helpful. The pool was quite dirty on arrival which might have been down to a storm or the owner's illness but it was cleaned thoroughly by Martin the following weekend which made a huge difference. This is by far the biggest pool we have ever seen at a rented property. There is also a small jumping board which is fun for kids and adults too. The water level was quite low and the shower at the pool didn't work which was probably due to the water shortage and restrictions in Southern Italy at the time. Unfortunately the weather was particularly hot when we visited. 39C during the day and 30/29C in the night. Not having air con was tough to bear! The bedrooms have a plug in fan but at this temperature, it doesn't help very much. The property sits in a big plot of land and it is very peaceful. The gardens in the front and around the pool could be better maintained as they are quite overgrown which is a bit of a shame as they could be stunning. The house and kitchen are well equipped in case you want to do some cooking. We ate out most nights as the food is just too good to miss. We were missing a kettle and some small bowls for cereals but we used the cups instead. This property is very peaceful. We had one Saturday night when neighbours had a very loud karaoke party but that was the only 'disturbing' noise we heard during our stay (apart from some dogs barking at night which you have to expect in the country and didn't bother us). We enjoyed our stay at this villa but the heat especially at night was a problem. I would return but early or late summer. We are missing the star gazing from the balcony already

Lovely house with a great pool

We had a really nice time. The house is also only a 10 minute drive from Ceglie and is a great base to explore Puglia. There are a lot of lovely villages worth seeing within a 20-30 minute drive, and both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas are not more than an hour's drive away. The pool was great and the gazebo offered nice shade for lunch. The kitchen is well-equipped, the living room has DVDs, books, and games (in English), and each room has a fan. We had cable extensions with us so we could charge our devices and I would recommend bringing some, as Italian holiday homes to do not seem to have many electrical outlets in the bedrooms. WiFi and cell reception is a bit slow, but this has been our experience in all houses/areas in Southern Italy in the summertime. Our teenagers downloaded movies/series whilst we were out eating or overnight, so they always had something to entertain them in the evening. Martin and Sharron who manage the house were great and checked up on us regularly to see if we needed anything and supplied us with plenty of tips for eating and sightseeing. We would definitely like to come back!

Des vacances de rêve

Outre la région des Pouilles qui était une découverte fantastique, nous avons vraiment apprécié la villa. Celle ci reste fraîche malgré la température extérieure (31 à 35) ce qui permet de bien dormir, sur une literie agréable. Elle dispose de tous les équipements nécessaires. Si la salle de douche du rez de chaussée est en effet basse de plafond, c’est un confort supplémentaire de disposer d’une seconde salle d’eau. La cuisine est bien équipée. Le gazebo est parfait pour bénéficier de l’ombre et de la fraîcheur apportée par la végétation tant en journée qu’en soirée. Quant à la piscine : particulièrement propre et grande, elle permet de se délasser après une journée de visite. La villa est située à moins d’une demie heure d’Alberobello, Martina Franca, Ostuni… une heure de Lecce, 1h30 de Matera. Seuls inconvénients : on capte difficilement internet même avec le wifi et le signal GPS se perd aux abords de la villa La villa est en tous points conforme aux photos. Sharron et Martin sont particulièrement accueillants et ont su se montrer tres disponibles et réactifs

Amazing stay in beautiful villa

We returned to stay for a week having previously visited in July 2019. The property and location was just as fantastic as we remembered from our first visit. Communication with Sharron (property manager) is excellent. From initial booking, to arrival and very helpful local knowledge and help with COVID restrictions and restaurant recommendations when we were allowed out throughout our stay. There probably isn't a better place to self isolate for 5 days. The pool is fantastic, villa perfectly equipped for a family stay (we did more cooking at the villa this time round), but everything you need for a relaxing holiday in this beautiful part of Italy. Flew to Brindisi this time rather than Bari and would recommend if you can get the direct flights. Very quick through security and 40 min drive to the villa. Many thanks for having us and hope to be back soon. Best wishes, Terence, Anouska & Phelix (aged 9)

Agréable maison avec piscine dans les Pouilles

Nous avons passé une semaine entre amis dans cette maison de style romain, qui est très agréable et bien placée à quelques minutes de Ceglie Messapica. Idéal pour visiter les Pouilles. A ne pas manquer: le village de Ceglie Messapica le soir avec beaucoup de restaurants sympas! Martin et Sharon sont très agréables et ont répondu à toutes nos questions! Quelques améliorations permettraient de rendre le sejour exceptionnel : une climatisation au moins dans les chambres (car un chien a aboyé toute la nuit pendant 2 nuits et comme nous avions les fenêtres ouvertes c’était très dérangeant), des bains de soleil récents avec matelas pour profiter de la piscine, une cuisine à rafraîchir. Cela permettrait d’agrémenter le séjour! Merci

Villa Montivicoli Jul. - Aug. 2021

Die Betreuung von Sharron und Martin war hervorragend. Die Anlage ist sehr gross, vor allem der vordere Teil mit dem grossen Pool machte wirklich sehr viel Spass. Auch die Pergola ist von Vorteil, da man dort immer einen Schattenplatz findet. Wir hatten wirklich eine tolle und sehr schöne Zeit in der Villa Montivicoli (und im coolen Pool) verbringen dürfen und freuen uns schon jetzt auf ein anderes Mal. Als einziger Kritikpunkt sind zu erwähnen, die alten, zum Teil defekten Gartenliegen und die fehlenden passenden Kissen dazu. Ansonsten wirklich sehr empfehlenswert.

Amazing Property & Pool In Fantastic Location

We stayed at this beautiful property (2 adults and our 7 yrear old son) at the beginning of the school holidays for 10 nights. From the initial booking communication from the property managers (Sharron & Martin) was fantastic. On arrival at Bari Airport, we called Martin to say we had arrived early and he was very accommodating and met us at the property for an earlier check in. The Villa is stunning and the pool is absolutely fantastic. The Villa has everything a family would need for a very comfortable stay in this beautiful part of Puglia. Exceptionally well equipped kitchen, DVDs and books. The inside of the Villa is very nice, but the outside space is where we spent the majority of our time in the lovely landscaped terrace and pool. To be fair we did not do much cooking as Ceglie has some amazing restaurants which are very good value. We did a trip to Ostuni, but felt it was too "touristy" ! :-) so mostly went out in Ceglie which is a 5-10 min drive. Also, did a few trips to the VAAR beach club in Pelone which has a very nice private beach and pool. During our stay we had a bit of a freak thunderstorm and power cut. Martin was fantastic and sorted out everything despite having to contend with another property where a tree had fallen into the pool. Our first time to Ceglie and can't recommend this property highly enough. Thank you for everything and hope to return soon. Terence, Anouska & Phelix

Prachtig huis met mooi zwembad

Zoekt u een mooi ruim huis voor uw vakantie in Puglia dan kan dit een goede keuze zijn. Positief: - ruim mooi huis, goed geëquipeerd - prachtig groot zwembad! - leuke zitjes op terras - uitstekend management (Sharron & Martin)! Kan beter: - Beperkt handdoekgebruik - 2 handdoeken pp per week is te weinig en dat terwijl er een kast vol ligt (tegen bijbetaling...). - Een airco zou standaard moeten zijn. - Hondengeblaf van (meerdere) buren is zeer indringend ('s nachts slapen met raam open is eigenlijk niet mogelijk maar zonder airco in de zomer heb je geen andere keuze) - Keuken niet echt heel schoon Maar niets te klagen, wij hebben een uitstekende vakantie gehad en kunnen het iedereen aanbevelen. Neem wel anti-muggen lotion mee...!

Wonderful holiday

Great location and fantastic pool although unfortunately no cushions for sun loungers which was very unusual and we had to buy some locally which we have left for next guests . Martin and Sharon were really helpful and we had a fantastic holiday. Location was excellent for site seeing and very peaceful located among olive groves. Great restaurants locally in Ceglie.

Ceglie Messapica villa

This is a lovely villa, well maintained and cared for. It comes with a pool, which is fairly rare in this part of Puglia. Close to Ceglie, historic town with lots of great places to eat and a well stocked supermarket on the edge of town, ten minutes from the villa. There's also a lido within walking distance of the villa, with a bar and restaurant. There's a big walled garden, useful for the kids to run round in or get some extra shade. Ostuni and Cistercino are arguably the best of many towns nearby and well worth at least one visit. I'd recommend this villa and we'll be booking again.

Great holiday in Puglia

A beautiful house in beautiful surroundings. All you need for a relaxing holiday. The pool is quite exceptional. We had a few teething problems with this at first, but it was soon up and running thanks to extremely hard work from Martin. Cannot praise both Sharron and Martin enough for their warmth and care throughout our stay. Would recommend.

Great villa, pool, quiet location & to tour Puglia

A great, well maintained, comfortable, villa in a quiet location but very well placed for touring around Puglia, particularly the beautiful hill top towns of Ostuni and the adriratic coast, Cisterninio, Martina Franca and within 5 -10 minutes drive to the town of Ceglie which is often overlooked by reviewers. The pool and outdoor areas are beautiful for relaxing or alfresco dining and the views from pool area and roof are excellent. Even inlate september the weather is beautiful even HOT.

Very nice villa with great swimmingpool

We enjoyed our stay very much: beautiful swimmingpool, lots of privacy, spacious property and parking lots etc. Good to reach, not too far outside the village. Everything you need is present in the house. Also good recommendations for sightseeing trips and restaurants. Very friendly housekeepers. And nice welcome with some groceries. The only thing that seems a bit too optimistic is "2 bathrooms", this is more like "1,5 bathroom"
