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!

Good stay

Pool, fruit trees, fireplace, house all great as are the caretakers. Be advised that while one bathroom is on the bedroom level, the other is on the ground floor and is quite cramped.

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

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)

About the host

Hosted by Sharron Wallis

Stella is a retired Principal of an FE College and Howard an organisation consultant. They live in central London with their adult son, Conor - their daugther Alice has her own flat. We enjoy good food and wine and international travel. We have owned Monteviccoli for more than 10 years and love the villa and the area. Puglia is a great place for short road trips and we have driven to Matera, Naples and even Sicily a number of times.

Why they chose this property

A nice mixture of quiet countryside not too far from Ceglie - a good size town with lots of restaurants - and the beaches of the Adriatic/Ionian.

What makes this property unique

The Roman style of the villa is not common in Puglia and is very functional. Ceglie is well placed for so many other attractions across the region: the cliffs and RedBull diving at Polignano, Bari/Brindisi, Ostuni (stunning), the caves of Grotte di Castellana, the trulli of Alborobello, the sassi (cave dwellings) of Matera where the last Bond film was made .............and numerous beaches.
