A week was not long enough!

Thomas is a kind and generous host who has set out this property with great attention to detail. There are many nooks and crannies around the extensive gardens to explore and enjoy for all ages. We found the 5 en-suite double bedrooms an ideal layout for our family group and there were several eating and sitting areas to choose from depending on the time of day and whether wanting convivial or silent company! The swimming pool is a good size for both lengths and family fun and within a few days our very cautious 2 year old grandson turned a water-boy. The whole area is so quiet and peaceful and we were surrounded by olive groves and networks of ancient dry stone walls. The villa is well positioned for exploring the renowned white villages of Puglia and also the Ionian and Adriatic coastlines.

Fantastic!!

The property lived up to all our expectations, the outdoor space is amazing and left us not wanting to go out exploring (when we did the surroundings are also great). We were given a great welcome by our hosts on arrival and felt comfortable contacting them about anything we needed and on the only occasion we did they went above and beyond to help. There are lots of facilities and things to do at the property for a big family like ours and we planned to do some of everything but our two week stay wasn’t long enough!! We would definitely go back again and loved our stay!!

Gorgeous property, fab holiday

Eleven of us stayed at Bella vista for two weeks. Six adults, four boys aged 5-10 and a 1 year old baby. From the moment we arrived the owners, Peter and Jen, could not have been more accommodating. Peter had even picked up a large Boots delivery of nappies, baby food etc that I had delivered and had stored it for a week before.'The house and villa were even better than the pictures and the surroundings boasted everything you could need for a fab holiday. A great swimming pool, badminton net, boxing bag, boules court, miniature golf, tree house, croquet set (I am sure that I have forgotten something else) which kept our boys entertained for hours. Our family is a family of foodies and the pizza oven, outdoor BBQ and other cooking facilities were fab and enabled us to try out different things each evening. There were multiple places to eat too although the area by the pool was our favourite and enabled us to keep a good eye on the kids. There are two great places to eat within a couple of miles although you would certainly need a car if you were staying here as there are no buses or taxis from and to the nearby town. The beach was approx a 30 minute drive away and Ostuni is very picturesque and well worth a visit. The roof terrace is a gorgeous place to sit with drinks of an evening looking at stars and the owners have even wired speakers up here. They really have thought of everything and were happy to make reservations for us in Italian and made some great recommendations of places to go and to eat. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this place to anyone and really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Jen and Peter!

Idyllic retreat in Puglia

We usually go on holiday in France and decided to explore something different in Puglia. We are very pleased we did as we had a wonderful time in this unique region and property. We didn't know much about Puglia before we went, and were therefore very grateful for the owner, Peter's detailed recommendations and responses to our enquiries from the outset. The property is easily reached from either Bari or Brindisi airport and is 20mins drive from some great beaches and towns. Peter provided us with a list of recommended restaurants and places to see and each of his recommendations was excellent and we had great fun exploring the region. The property itself is a peaceful haven with expansive outdoor area with plenty of activities for kids and adults. The pool area is large and well maintained. There house and villa are both very well appointed in terms of facilities and cleanliness and it provides very flexible accommodation for groups of families, friends sharing. We had three generations staying at the property and it worked very well. There are plenty of outdoor locations well set-up for meals (by the pool, in the villa courtyard, by the pizza oven) which allows for great variety throughout the stay. Each bedroom is en-suite which is also an added bonus in a property of this size. We loved exploring the nearby town of Ceglie M, as well as Ostuni, Caravigno and Lecce (a little further afield). Driving around the region is very easy. We had two great days with the family at Guna Beach Club which is a 30 min drive and is a lovely beach club for the family to set up camp for the day. All in all we had a super stay and would recommend to others. Many thanks to Peter and his team for making us feel welcome.

Wonderful peaceful retreat, excellent facilities

What a lovely place, every detail has been thought of; amazing music system that plays outside and inside to help you set the mood of your holiday, different spots to eat and relax throughout the property and plenty of activities to keep everyone amused! A peaceful retreat with everything provided so you don't really have to leave! There are plenty of quiet corners under shady trees or in the sun for everyone to relax and find a space as well as different communal places to eat, drink and enjoy each others company. We loved the hammocks especially! There are plenty of places to eat; the pool terrace for lunch, the courtyard for a bbq and the terrace beside the pizza oven. Roof terrace and sunken roof terrace great for sundowners and after dinner drinks. The rooms are well appointed, would be nice to have aircon in all the bedrooms but fans are very appreciated and do help in the summer heat. The children loved the covered seating area by the pool and spent many hours lazing there reading and drinking and chatting long after the adults had given in for the day! Short drive to local town where there is a good supermarket and local shops not to mention a great gelateria. We hired a boat for the day from Monopoli harbour which was about 45 mins away - a great day out with great memories made which we will never forget. Ostuni about 15 mins away and well worth a visit, pretty old town.
