The Puglia/Molise region

Puglia, (also known as Apulia), is the heel on Italy's boot. It has superb weather, beautiful towns, lovely countryside and never more than 30km across, you are always close to the seaside.There are enticing towns in Puglia: the buzzing Baroque city of Lecce to the south. Martina Franca is a town with a fascinating Moorish atmosphere while Bari is an unspoiled old city. In nearby Ostuni you will discover a hilltop town to rival those of Umbria. The signature building of Puglia (and very popular with holidaymakers) is the trullo.

The trulli are remarkable little cone-roofed whitewashed dwellings and surround Alberobello, (approx 45mins north),, and these are now protected as a UNESCO world heritage site. Puglia has its own wonderful cuisine and typical dishes include oysters roasted with oil, lemon, garlic and marjoram. Mussel and potato soup and a huge range of sea food from sea bream to cuttlefish are favourite localThe nea ingredients. Much of the pasta of Italy starts life in Puglian wheatfields, and the region has superb olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes and good local red wines.

The Brindisi / San Vito dei Normanni area

The nearest shop is can be found in Serranova, only 2km away. The small 'alimentari' sells fresh bread and cold meats, together with a basic range of groceries. It also serves as a small local bar. At Serranova, during the summer months, you will also find a covered outdoor restaurant serving local specialities of roasted meats and oven baked pizza.

For more extensive amenities, San Vito Dei Normanni is only 10 mins drive away. San Vito is a bustling little town with a number of supermarkets, cafes, a few restaurants, banks, a post office and a wide range of other shops. There is also a go-karting track just outside san Vito. During the summer months, you will almost always find some kind of local event or festival taking place in the main square in San Vito.

This is also true of many of the other nearby towns. Local 'festas' complete with parades and fireworks are a wonderful way to spend the balmy summer evenings.

Further afield, (approx 20 mins drive), you will find 2 large shopping centres, and also the city of Brindisi itself. with its lively port and marina.The surrounding countryside and small roads are ideal for bike rides and walks.
Our nearest beach is Torre Guaceto, which is approximately 10 mins drive - or an easy bike ride away.
This is also a local nature reserve, so no development is allowed and the beaches are beautiful. There are many other beaches to explore up and down the coast, all within easy reach of the villa.

“A Beautiful Villa!” A group of 7 of us stayed here in August and it was fantastic. The villa was very spacious and the surroundings were stunning. The pool was absolutely fabulous and we could not have asked for a more... more

“Fab escape to spacious, well-equipped, peaceful villa with heavenly pool” We had a wonderful family holiday at Villa Palma this June. Our ages ranged from 15 months to 70+ and a group of young adults in between It suited all of us and was kitted out perfectly for all our needs. The villa is simply designed and laid out and has a stunning pool which life revolved around - plenty of pool furniture and toys. Air conditioning in all the rooms makes a tremendous difference in the heat of summer, which is a real bonus. It is very secluded and peaceful but within reach of all you might need. The owners have taken great care to provide plenty of information, tips and guidance and the manager could not be more helpful.

“Excellent villa for a relaxing holiday” Superbly equipped and maintained villa in quiet area of olive groves with large pool and plenty of space inside and out. Local towns are great, local amenities good and people very friendly. Close to beaches and a great base for exploring Puglia.

“Idyllic location for a relaxing holiday” Enjoyed a relaxing short break at this superbly appointed villa set in its own extensive grounds and surrounded by olive trees. Peaceful, tranquil location but only a short drive to nearby San Vito dei Normanni with its restaurants, cafes and lively local atmosphere. The beautiful nature reserve of Torre Guaceto with its unspoilt crystal clear Adriatic beaches is only minutes away. Would love to return in the summer months to enjoy the magnificent pool and the delights of sipping a glass of the local vino on the terrace as the sun goes down.

“Stunning Villa!” Beautiful Villa equipped and maintained to an extremely high standard. The Villa's setting amongst the Olive trees was stunning and we were absolutely delighted. The swimming pool was immaculately maintained and the teenagers spent many hours swimming and having fun. Plenty of loungers for sunbathing around the pool and fantastic terrace for eating al fresco! We would definitely recommend this Villa to family and friends and are planning a return trip next year!

“WARNUNG ! WARNUNG ! WARNUNG !” WARNUNG ! DIe KAUTION wird nicht zurückgezalht. Man wird zum Spielball zwischen den Eigentümern und der angeblichen Verwalterin, Die Eigentümer, obwohl Vertragspartner verweisen an die Verwalterin und nichts passiert Ich kann nur eindringlich davor warnen, diese Villa zu buchen wenn Sie einen angenehmen und reibungslosen Urlaub verbringen wollen. Naxh nunmehr 12 Monaten haben wir immer noch nicht unsere Kaution zurück. Schade des es solche Vermieter gibt. Response: This client damaged our property and we retained the damages deposit to cover the significant costs of the required repair in line with our contract. This is the ONLY TIME we have ever retained a damages deposit as we treat smaller mishaps and damages as 'wear and tear'. Over A YEAR after their stay, this client contacted me out of the blue demanding their deposit back because their insurance company had failed to reimburse them. He threatened to post a bad review if we did not reimburse him - which clearly he has done. This is is AN ENTIRELY UNJUSTIFIED AND UNFAIR 'REVIEW, but unfortunately we are at the mercy of such things as part of trip advisor. We hope that clients will see that all our other reviews have been extremely positive and will still choose to book with us. We pride ourselves in providing an excellent holiday home and a responsive, friendly service. Routinely, we make arrangements to return damages deposits within a few days of our clients stay.
