The Puglia/Molise region


Holiday in Puglia, a wonderful, unspoilt region of Southern Italy, to enjoy a taste of the real italy with fantastic cuisine, historic centres, hot and sunny. Rich in history and abounding with olive groves and vineyard, if you want to experience traditional Italy, Puglia is the place for you. Warmth, from the sunshine and the local people, hospitality, tranquil olive groves, superb cuisine and wine. Historic centres and other historic builidings to explore. Local festivals, dancing and music (don't miss the tarantalla!) and local foods to try. Everything you could want from a holiday in Italy.
Villa Sun is ideally situated to explore the whole region of Puglia. Close to Lecce, the Florence of the South, and to the Port of Brindisi, head north and inland for the historic centres of Ostuni (the White City), Martina Franca, Cisternino, Ceglie and others all within an easy drive. Further north (about an hours drive) you will find Fasano Zoo Safari and Alberobello, home of the Trulli, Castel del Monte and Castellana Grotto. Head south for the port of Otranto, Santa Maria di Leuca on the tip of the boot where the Adriatic meets the Ionian. South west for Gallipoli and and many other beautiful towns/cities and beaches. There is no shortage of things to do and see, or you could simply relax by the pool or on the beach!
If you are looking for sunshine, peace and quiet, rest and relaxation, local life, local culture, great food and wine, history and the warmth of the local Italians you have found your holiday destination and your holiday villa!

Reviews
![]() 15 Sep 2011 |
We booked this holiday knowing nothing about the area or indeed about Puglia. The villa has a fantastic website with all manner of information and photos, so you have a pretty good idea of what to expect before you arrive. We were greeted at the villa by the owners Richard & Noireen who helped us settle in and were very informative about places to visit and eat out. Most of our days were spent by the pool or on the beach (5min walk) so we probably didn't do as much exploring as we would of liked to. The places we did visit were great, especially Lecce (better at night), and the locals were extremely friendly and the restaurants served great food at reasonable prices. We had two teenage girls with us who fell in love with the place and the boys. Every evening they would go into Lendinuso to meet up with the friends they had met. At no time did we have to worry about them as the whole area is very family oriantated. We booked the villa for two weeks next year before we came home and I would thoroughly recommend to any family or group thinking about taking a holiday in this area. |
Guestbook for Villa Sun Beach
We had a wonderful time! The villa was great (loved the gift basket, lemon marmalade was fantastic). Thank you for helping make our stay great!
We had a nice time. Thanks for the welcome basket, it was very thoughtful, the lemonade and marmalade wonderful, as was the limoncello. The house is great and we had a great stay.
The house is wonderful. Very well equipped and comfortable. Make sure you go to the bakery in Torchiarolo and don't miss the melonman who drives past about 10am every morning.
The villa is comfortable and had everything we needed, as well as being well situated for exploring in both directions. We all especially enjoyed the zoo safari at Fasano. We had several enjoyable meals at the Hotel Pizzeria in Casalabate complete with music and dancing. The locals are very friendly and helpful.
