Magnificent villa with exclusive swimming pool, panoramic terrace with beautiful sea view surrounded by centuries-old olive groves. It is a modern building located 5 minutes from the sea of Torre Guaceto and many other famous sites such as the white city of Ostuni, Martina Franca, Cisternino, Ceglie Messapica, Locorotondo, Alberobello and other beautiful areas of Salento.

And elegant Villa with private Pool, Panorama-Terrasse und einen herrlichen Blick auf das Meer und die Olivenbäume. Das neue Gebäude liegt in der schönen Landschaft, aber nur wenige Minuten vom Meer von Torre Guaceto und vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten wie dem berühmten weißen Stadt Ostuni, Martina Franca, Cisternino, Ceglie Messapica, Locorotondo, Alberobello und anderen schönen. Dieses modernes Gebäude ist mit Wi-Fi, Klimaanlage und Heizung ausgestattet.

Die Villa ist der ideal Ausgangspunkt um die charmante Städten von Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Cisternino und die UNESCO-geschützten Städte Alberobello, Lecce und Matera zu besuchen. Auch die Küstenstädte Brindisi, Bari, Otranto und Gallipoli, als auch die südlichste Stadt Santa Maria di Leuca sind leicht mit dem Auto zu erreichen.
Sonst kann man in dem großen Garten ganz einfach sich entspannen.

Nice place to come back to after days of exploring Puglia.

We explored all of the great sights of Puglia, but coming home to this villa was the best part of the day. The property is large with lots of fruit trees and olive trees around the property, the pool is spectacular and the home is immaculate. The owners are very responsive and went out of their way to make it a perfect experience. If you go to Puglia, this villa is in the center of it all. Look no further- this is a paradise. CH family

We have just returned from 9 fantastic nights at this amazing rural villa! It was very clean and well equipped and we can’t praise the lovely villa owners, Giovanni and Rita, enough! They were so hospitable, even baking us all a huge pie and showing us how a real pizza is made using the impressive outside pizza oven! The outside space is beautiful with a huge pool and patio area, surrounded by olive and various fruit trees. We feel extremely lucky to have been able to experience this special place in the middle of such gloomy times. We hope to come back again to explore properly in the near future.

We arrived with a smiling welcome even though we were late. We stayed for 3 full weeks enjoying all Apuglia has to offer and we always felt we had a home to return to. Our hosts, Rita & Giovanni , were the best! They answered all our questions and needs and they were very responsive if we needed anything. The villa was very comfortable and spacious serving all our families needs. The grounds were meticulously kept and the pool! Well let's just say I spent every day swimming in that beautiful, large clean pool, we all loved it! We didn't want to leave, the property, the area and most of all our new friends, Rita & Giovanni. We hope to come back someday and if we do they are the hosts we will look for! Grazie Mille!

The villa was really lovely , very spacious and just as described - if not better . The outside areas were brilliant , and the pool was beautiful. The area is so tranquil and peaceful . We had a minor problem which was sorted out immediately. Communication was excellent . 1 small suggestion perhaps to have a few more mugs ? But we had a super week . Thankyou .

We have planned our trip to Puglia and were looking for a convenient, central and beautiful location to stay during our 12 day trip. Rita & Giovanni Villa has exceeded all our expectations and we truly enjoyed our stay from the very beginning to the end. It is a charming property that has everything you need to relax and enjoys vacation being surrounded by ancient olive groves offering tranquility and peace while having all the amenities of the modern home. It is very conveniently located to all the key attractions and sightseeing places Puglia has to offer. Rita and Giovanni are simply amazing hosts, super easy and highly responsive in communication, always accessible and very helpful with local tips and suggestions to enjoy the area. We highly recommend this property and hosts and will be gradly returning in the future!

We stayed for 3 weeks during August 2022 and had an amazing time. Rita and Giovanni are literally two of the nicest people I’ve ever met and went massively over and above to make our stay memorable and easy (providing recommendations, organising taxis/baby sitters/chef services/ clearing services, and even providing some medical advice!). The highlight of the trip was Rita and Giovanni coming over for dinner to make pizza’s in the professional pizza oven, which is part of the outdoor kitchen. We felt like a real Italian family! The house is great and exactly as advertised and the ground are beautiful. The saltwater pool and outdoor shower got plenty of use with the kids and were a big hit. The villa is an easy drive to Ostuni but there are countless equally beautiful and interesting cities within 30-40 minute drive to explore. The beach is an easy c. 10 minute drive away as well and many beautiful options. You will need a rental car as the house is not really walkable to anything. Overall a fantastic trip, house, and most importantly hosts.

The villa is even more beautiful than described, very clean and comfortable, and Rita and Giovanni are great hosts. Very welcoming and responsive for any questions or issues. We were two families staying together and had lots of space. The pool was amazing, very well maintained and clean, with an outdoor shower. Many outdoor sitting areas, and we enjoyed eating on the porch every day. Wifi and air conditioning worked well. Nearest town and groceries are about a 15 minute drive away, so there is nothing within walking distance, but well situated to visit nearby beaches and towns for sightseeing by car. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful spot for a home base for their visit to Puglia!

Fantastiskt hus med underbar pool, vuxna som barn kunde hoppa och dyka i den. Många bra platser att vistas på, både i sol och skugga. Värdparet Rita och Giovanni var otroligt hjälpsamma och trevliga. Bra läge för att kunna göra utflykter till såväl stränder som städer. Bil ett måste om man vill röra på sig.

Nach mehrfachen Anläufen ein geeignetes Feriendomizil für die Großfamilie (7+ Hund) zu finden, sind wir hier fündig geworden. Schon die Anreise durch einen schier unendlichen Olivenhain - fern ab von Partymeile oder Stau - traumhaft! Der Empfang durch die sehr herzlichen Eigentümer des Anwesens - Rita& Giovanni - mit Wein und Olivenöl als Willkommensgeschenk - ein toller Start in den Urlaub. Das ganze Haus ist sehr gepflegt und sauber. Alles ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet und bietet reichlich Stauraum, eine großzügige Küche mit allem was man braucht und herrlich gemütliche Sitz- und Essgelegenheiten rundherum. Erwartet man allerdings eine luxuriöse oder besonders stylische Einrichtung, könnte man vielleicht etwas enttäuscht sein.. Auch die Bäder sind ‚zweckmäßig’ :) .. Der Garten hingegen besitzt einen parkähnlichen Charakter - auch die Zufahrt zum Anwesen - wunderbar! Alles landestypisch, sehr geschmackvoll und gepflegt. Zahlreiche Obstbäume erfreuten besonders die Kinder! Die Krönung der Außenanlage ist der SEHR große und tiefe Pool! Tägliches Toben& Leistungsschwimmen konnten parallel stattfinden! Auch der schon häufiger erwähnte ‚Pizzaabend‘ durch Rita& Giovanni war eines unserer Urlaubshighlights! Beste Pizza überhaupt!!! Herzlichen Dank nochmals von allen 11 hungrigen Gästen!!! Um nun nicht nur zu schwärmen, hier ein paar klitzekleine Kritikpunkte am Paradies.. Eine Wespenplage vereitelte schmerzhaft so manches Frühstück. Ob es hier aber tatsächlich etwas gibt, das Abhilfe schafft? Das WLAN funktionierte zum völligen Entsetzen der Kinder nicht und war auch durch Giovannis mehrfachen Einsatz nicht zu ‚reparieren‘. Die Erwachsenen störte das eher weniger … Das Anwesen liegt ca 6 km auf engsten Straßen vom nächsten Bäcker/ Supermarkt entfernt. Man muss also den Einkauf schon etwas planen.. Zum herrlichen Strand sind es dann doch ca 18km (Spiaggia di Pilone). Scheinbar sind wir alle ‚Weich- Schläfer‘ und hatten Probleme mit den Matratzen - im Appartement ist das Bett etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnte vielleicht ausgetauscht werden. Ebenso die Einrichtung dort.. Aber all diese Kritik ist jammern auf höchstem Niveau und schmälerte keinesfalls unser Urlaubsvergnügen! Selbst eine vergessene Sonnenbrille sendete uns Rita nach und schimpfte nicht über zerbrochene Teller.. Fazit. Ein herrlicher Urlaub im Nirgendwo - mit ausgezeichnetem Preis- Leistungsverhältnis! Hoffe, wir kommen bald mal wieder!!

Die Villa ist etwa 10 Minuten vom Ortskern entfernt und daher nur mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Wer es ruhig haben will, wird hier fündig. Das Objekt bietet alles für einen schönen Urlaub mit Freunden oder der (großen) Familie. Besonders der Pool ist der Hammer, da man dort locker mit 8 Personen baden kann und auch mal ein paar Bahnen schwimmen ohne nach einem Zug am anderen Ende zu sein. Toll sind auch die vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten und Lounges sowie die Outdoorküche. Wem also der Spot im Urlaub das wichtigste ist und gerne zu Hause grillt oder kocht ist hier richtig. Wer gerne abends noch kurz vor die Tür will, muss das mit dem Auto machen. Die Gastgeber sind super nett und kümmern sich um alles, der gemeinsame Pizzaback Abend war besonders für die Kinder super.

Ho soggiornato in questa splendida Villa con la mia famiglia (6 adulti + 2 bambini) nelle 2 settimane centrali del mese di agosto. La villa è inserita in un contesto suggestivo, presenta ogni tipo di comfort ed il proprietario, Giovanni, è sempre molto attento a qualsiasi richiesta. Nei dintorni è possibile fare diverse escursioni in bici ma anche a piedi nonché godersi splendide giornate in piscina o raggiungere facilmente il mare. È sicuramente una vacanza che consiglio e che spero di ripetere al più presto!! Grazie. Giulio

We had a wonderful 2 weeks' stay in the villa. Gianni and Rita went out of their way to make us welcome and make sure we had everything we needed.........excellent hosts. Complete tranquility amongst the olive groves, yet close enough to lovely beaches, great restaurants and towns. The photos on the website do not do the villa justice - it was just as beautiful on the inside as the outside. Since previous reviews in 2015, owners have installed A/C in the downstairs apartment. We would highly recommend and hope to go back there one day.

Notre famille ( 6 adultes et un petit bébé) avons séjourné pendant 2 semaines à la Villa Delle Francesca propriété de Giovanni et Rita. Dès notre arrivée nous avons été charmés par le lieu. La villa est moderne, spacieuse et située dans une campagne paisible au milieu des lauriers et d’oliviers plusieurs fois centenaires. Les propriétaires Giovanni et Rita nous ont accueillis très amicalement et ils se sont montrés très disponibles tout au long de notre séjour…(et même après) et nous ont aidés à chaque fois que nous en avons eu besoin. La villa offre de multiples endroits où on peut se reposer confortablement à l’abri du soleil sous la galerie en dessous de la pergola ou à l’ombre des oliviers. Pour ceux qui préfèrent les bains de soleil, l’aménagement autour de la piscine est idéal. La piscine est de bonne dimension, propre, et la température est idéale pour se rafraîchir. Pour découvrir les Pouilles et ses jolis villages blancs, ou pour aller à la plage, la situation de la villa est idéale et permet des excursions d’une journée dans les villages environnants et un retour à la villa pour un repos et un rafraichissement bien mérité. Bref c'est un endroit de rêve pour une vacance inoubliable. Ce fut pour nous un merveilleux séjour. Merci à nos hôtes Rita et Giovanni Anne et Robert Montréal

We had a perfect family holiday at this villa - absolutely loved it. It was in a fabulous location and it was beautiful. The garden and the huge pool were particularly lovely. Inside was clean, friendly, spacious and comfortable. We were travelling with two small children and the fact that the grounds were enclosed, that the gardens were lawn and extensive and that the pool's steps were not steep and were soft for children to use made for a very relaxing experience. There are some lovely towns and beaches very nearby to visit (although the pool and garden was so nice that we actually didn't visit beaches as often as anticipated). Caravigno was our favourite town and our favourite restaurant was Miramare (known to the locals as Da Michele) in Santa Sabina - outstanding seafood (but equally delicious pizza and pasta for non seafood lovers) and great atmosphere. The villa owners were kind and welcoming and happy to help out answering questions both before, during and after the trip! The villa is even better in person than in pictures. We will definitely be returning.

Villa was absolutely lovely, particularly the large pool and surrounding area with comfy sun beds and well kept gardens. Rita and Giovanni were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble. As we were arriving late evening Rita prepared a lovely meal for us which was a great treat. Some picturesque villages nearby to visit, Ostuni being our favourite. Would definitely recommend Dish for food in Ostuni and La Loggia in Carovigno, both recommended by our hosts and both lovely quality food in great surroundings.
