Beautiful stay in Puglia
Posted Jul. 27, 2024 on HomeAwayThe 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!

A picturesque retreat with all the amenities!
Posted Jun. 29, 2024 on HomeAwayWe 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!

Puglia paradise
Posted Sep. 27, 2023 on HomeAwayWe 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.

Super villa
Posted Sep. 20, 2022 on HomeAwayThe 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 .

Three weeks in the olive groves
Posted Sep. 6, 2022 on HomeAwayWe 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.

Simply amazing time and trip to Puglia thanks to Rita and Giovanni!
Posted Nov. 9, 2021 on HomeAwayWe 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!

Amazing rural retreat
Posted Aug. 5, 2020 on HomeAwayWe 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.

Puglian retreat
Posted Aug. 19, 2019 on HomeAwayWe 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.

Une villa magnifique pour une vacance en Italie dans la région des Pouilles
Posted Aug. 5, 2018 on HomeAwayNotre 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
