Villa holiday rentals in Otranto

It was an amazing stay

The house has everything you need for a carefree holiday: equipped kitchen, rooms ok and an ideal outdoor space to eat outdoors or enjoy the sunset. A special thank you to Lorenzo and Lucia, who have helped me with everything: always kind, they helped me with the address, present when needed and ready to recommend authentic places to discover. It is the right place to disconnect, breathe in the sea and experience the real Salento.

Awesome place, really beautiful house, was actually bigger than it looked in the photos. The place was very well stocked with everything we needed! We really enjoyed the stay here and if you do you must try Gusti Giusti pizza restaurant it was devine!

Stefania's house Not on a nature-protected coast, surrounded by a huge garden with beautiful plants, from which you can see the sea from everywhere. We had a perfect at Stefania's house and felt extremely comfortable. For people who love nature, this place is an absolute paradise and Stefania is an unconditionally excellent host who does everything at all times to make her guests feel comfortable. Since we had our dog Anton with us, the large garden was also a perfect place for him. From the grounds, you can take wonderful walks along small country lanes all the way down to the sea. The coast in this region is breathtakingly beautiful with many small coves and wonderful hiking opportunities. We can fully recommend Stefania and her heavenly garden. The house is also absolutely perfect for a stay in the middle of nature. Thank you, Stefania, for the beautiful days! Chaya, Toni and Andreas

Maria Cristina’s place impressed us with its historical beauty, unforgettable Adriatic views, great location, well equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedding. The house is well organized: free laundry and parking, heating and AC system in every room, great air circulation and light management, separate dining area, and living room. The front house veranda is very spacious, its overlooking the sea. The area is peaceful and safe with multiple close by restaurants and coffee shops; 10 min walk to the Castro local A&O grocery store; 10 min drive to MAD gym; and a lot of beautiful walks of your choice. Communication has been exceptional from welcoming throughout our entire stay. Emanuela is assisting Maria Cristina with English speaking guests, taking care of any unexpected issues or special requests. We’ve been blessed with hospitality, attention, patience, and flexibility of our hosts. It was a privilege to live in the house with such history and importance to the local community.

Mirko and Sharon are extremely warm people and hosts. You can feel how much love the house and the property were designed with. The living/dining area is a great place to relax with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and ocean views. There are many sitting and lying corners on the property; everyone will find the right place for themselves. The kitchen is excellently equipped. Mirko and Sharon have given us a lot of and valuable tips for exploring the area as well as restaurants that we would also recommend without hesitation. As a starting point for diverse places in Puglia, Urmo is perfect; a historic place nearby is better than the next one. We will be back.

Camilla’s place was great. It is a good central location if you want to explore south of Italy (as we did), btw 10-40 min by car to all surrounding towns/beaches. The closest beach is only 5 or so minutes away by car. The house is good for families with older kids and the pool is a great addition. Local sweet cafe has nice coffee and pastries too.

Impeccable, comfortable and bright housing. Close to beautiful beaches. Communication with the host was smooth and clear.

Villa with swimming pool suitable for large groups of friends; Mario was very kind, the house fully corresponds to the description, perfect swimming pool. Recommended.

Gorgeous property with amazing outdoor terraces and seating areas, which we enjoyed every night to socialise in. We never grew tired of the view over the pool to the sea. Federico (the local host) was incredibly attentive and helpful, providing recommendations for local festivals and events. Plentiful supply of hot water throughout the day and night. Really well-stocked kitchen for utensils and pots / pans, only thing we missed was some oven gloves (but maybe that's just a British thing!). Great outdoor cooking / dining area which we used for every breakfast / evening meal to soak in the view. Thoroughly recommend this property and this area of Italy. We did not want to leave or return home.

Andrea is a fabulous host and could not do more to help us settle in and be looked after. He was always available and very accommodating. The property is a gem if you like peaceful, quiet places with a wonderful view. Two couples shared a bathroom without any problem, but generally it has a nice layout, with lots of space. We had one rainy day but we were still just happy to admire the view and relax, and it was a great surprise one evening to be able to see the mountains on the other side of the Gulf of Taranto. The beach at Lido Malibu is Caribbean and almost empty when we were there late May, but probably busy later judging by the number of available deck chairs. Gallipoli (30 mins) is a great trip to do as is Lecce a bit further, but generally we were happy to stay at the Villa by the superb pristine pool or go down to the beach. As we were self catering the house is well equipped, with lots of linen and towels, comfortable and nicely decorated. Definitely recommended.

An absolutely wonderful villa with a great view to the east and sunrise. Lots of space to sit and lounge and eat and spend time together with family and friends. A bit of a drive to the beach, but all very doable. Definitely in the return to list. Last but not least - Fausto is fab!

We had a wonderful time. Lots of space in the villa for two families and the teenagers loved having their own bathrooms! Very helpful in every way, we had a lovely dinner in the recommended restaurant in the village. We would definitely return!

The house is really nice and our kids loved the huge garden to play as well as the pool. Everything was also very clean and Fabrizio is a very kind and helpful person who provided nice tips for restaurants or where to buy fresh fish.

I have to say that we found a courtesy,kindness ,availability from Alessandro and Mauro , accellent hosts;never happened to find people like this, they made us feel like family, they satisfied our every request with a grace and politeness that is not from everyone , they pampered us with your welcome overtime that we really appreciated... we can only say that Alessandro is Mauro gave us care and the true warmth of the South...simply wonderful people. ..Thank you for Cuore and the whole Company of the Pets

Great place to stay with all the comforts. We were 8 adults and two children and had separate bedrooms with ac. Shared well-equipped kitchen several patios and an appreciated hot tub. Close to the nice beach with both sweet and salt water. Great pizzeria in walking distance. Simone has been an amazing host and he has been incredibly helpful. We highly recommend the location.

A really impeccable, as seen in the photos Super clean and tidy! Really a great house to go on vacation Francesco is a very accommodating host

Absolutely stunning villa, so peaceful and tranquil. It’s massive inside and out with a fantastic pool. 10minute walk to the old town and beach. 100% recommend staying, we’ll be back!

Andrea and his family were exceptional hosts, going above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests, including arranging additional cleaning services, daily breakfast, pizza night with a saxophonist and the team they provided was fantastic. The Masseria is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. I highly recommend both the place and the wonderful hospitality."

We had a lovely stay. A relaxing place, lovely pool and outdoor space, close to Tricase with a good choice of restaurants.

Very nice, very spacious, the highlights certainly the bbq roof terrace with dumbwaiter connected to the kitchen, the garden and pool area. Very nice and comfortable

We had a wonderful week at the house. We traveled with a toddler and the hosts were so considerate babyproofing everything. The view is just like out of a movie and the garden is breathtaking. Our absolute highlight was the outdoor kitchen. We will be back for sure!

Wonderful hosts very warm and friendly . Antonio and Claudio are a delight. Very comfortable house with magnificent gardens and great swimming pool. Any easy 20min drive to gorgeous Lecce and close by to lots of other parts of Salento. A magical oasis in which to relax between adventures! Handy restaurant next door at the Agritourismo.

The location is stunning. The sounds of the sea are gorgeous and the colour of the water is beautiful. Mauro is a wonderful host and it didn't matter that he spoke no English and we spoke no Italian, Google translate was fine. We didn't have a car and in hindsight this was an error and the villa is not particularly close to amenities and requires walking along a road without pavement or across a rocky beach to get to restaurants and the local supermarket. Also with a car, we would have been able to visit more of the beautiful local towns and villages. If you are looking for a peaceful break from a busy life, this is the perfect spot to stay. We loved Salento and hope to revisit. Thank you, Mauro.
