Excellent!
Beautiful property in lovely surroundings, with close proximity to lots of interesting places to visit. Particularly enjoyed all the outdoor space, including the pool (shallow end great for small children). Daz, the caretaker, was also extremely helpful providing lots of guidance on the property and the area. Thank you!

A stunning property
We’ve had the most amazing holiday in this beautiful restored villa, plenty of space for 6 adults, 3 children, everything is top quality and so tastefully decorated. The setting in the olive and cherry groves is so peaceful but near to Conversano , a lovely town with excellent restaurants. Lots to do, but hard to drag yourself away from the excellent pool. Darren is on hand to help in any way . A great holiday .

Castellana Grotte villa
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa, We were a party of 10 with 4 young children and had plenty of room. The kids were happy to spend day after day in the pool but we did get out to visit; Herculaneum (exceptionally hot but amazing) the Castellano grottes, the beach, Conversano to the museum and castle and saw the UNESCO site at aberobello. Darren was very helpful. One of the best bits was watching a thunderstorm from the balcony. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend this villa.
