Great stay in a magnificent Palazzo
The villa was fantastic for 2 families (4 adults, 6 kids). Great pool area and spacious living quarters. Poggiardo is a lovely little town, just outside the villa gates and unspoilt by tourism. Restaurants were of a high standard and served the tastiest Puglia delicacies. The host, Maria, was so helpful in arranging transfers, restaurants and giving advice on the area (including beaches). Highly recommended for a holiday.

Magical Puglia
We were a party of 13 comprising 3 separate families. Beautiful villa in fabulous location in centre of town which was a hidden gem with numerous excellent restaurants and a huge market on Wednesday mornings. Great base for exploring the area and lots of different spots to sit and hang out including a delightful terrace. Maria was extremely helpful booking restaurants, organising a chef for one evening and recommendations of where to visit. We were very sorry to leave. Our American friend even took photos of the arches to show her builders doing her house renovation in the States!

Hidden Gem
Fantastic place in a small friendly village. We had a great week with quite a few excursions. Otranto was an interesting and beautiful place. Rene who drove us all week was extremely reliable. Can really recommended his taxi and transfer service. 🙏
Maria was there for us whenever we wanted.

Perfect stay in a beautiful house
Family holiday of 14 (9 adults and 5 children). Right from the start, Maria (property manager) was excellent, fast responses to any questions and no problem that couldn’t be solved.
House is amazing, lots of space, salt water pool that’s deep enough for the 10/11yr olds to stand safely, gorgeous side-garden with hammock, boules, orange and lime trees, table soccer and bicycles.
Located right on the main piazza in Poggiardo within walking distance of many excellent restaurants, caf é’s, gelato and cake shops and the market on the square every Wednesday morning!

Just Wonderful
Had a lovely week in Poggiardo. Once inside the property is amazing with its court yard, lovely pool and orchard area - it is like your own private hideaway. The property is well kitted out with all amenities and a well equipped kitchen had everything we needed. There was plenty of room inside and out- although most evenings were spent on the outdoor terrace. - even in October! There are some nice restaurants/bistros nearby along with the local bakery shops/butchers/fishmongers and a good size supermarket. The Wednesday street market is well worth a look. It was a good base for trips to Lecce and down along the coast Maria was very helpful in settling us in and helped us to organise Maria Rosaria to come to the villa to cook an authentic Puglian meal which was a lovely night and would definitely recommend. Can not recommend Palazzo Umberto enough as a wonderful place to stay. Grazie mille!

FANTASTIC WINTER STAY
We spent the New Years week in the beautifull and warm house of Maria and Andrea in Poggiardo. A great winter stay in the historic center (on the main Piazza) with choice of bars, shops, hairdressers, ... within walking distance.
The weather was great, sky steel-blue, sun shining every day (were we lucky or is this Puglia-winter?) and we spent several hours trying to get a tan on the rooftopterrace.
The house is a spacious and beautiful old palazzo, restored in a refined way with perfect artcrafts-finishings. The palazzo offers all comfort, with several bathrooms, equiped kitchens, cupboards, classic and authentic furniture which suits perfectly to the style of the house ... It's a pleasure to find a place where as well the interior, the objects, the decoration, the chocolats and bottle, as the towels and the sheets, ... all meet the same standard of luxury in every single detail which is, believe me so rare...
The recommandations for restaurants turned out to be delicious, and New Years-eve - we were kindly invited in the ground floor loft - was an unforgettable party. That loft as the rest of the building, has been beautifully restored,and has a great fireplace.
The swimming pool and garden look very welcoming and quiet for warmer months...
Thanks Maria and Andrea, hope we'll meet again soon.

Not a great experience!
The pool area is beautiful. Maria connected us with a local driver and a private chef which were both great. Check-in was relatively easy and we were able to get in a little bit early!
The host required cash-only cleaning fee upon departure and an upfront cash damage deposit-- neither of which are listed on VRBO. We were very surprised by this and not happy about it.
Overall cleanliness was lacking. Dishes in the cupboards were dirty and showers didn't drain. Thousands of ants infested the ground floor, particularly the bathroom, crawling over toiletries and towels. The host's unhelpful advice was to not leave crumbs in the bathroom and find ant dust or go buy bug spray.
There was a disgusting rotting cheese smell that permeated the main floor and attic room- worsened by the July heat. When the cleaners came to the house 2 days later, they discovered something foul under the refrigerator which was causing the smell.
We expected a clean and bug-free home which was not what we got. We left a day early due to the issues. Now the host is claiming that we broke things which is untrue.
I know there are a lot of reviews for the property and they good, but pay attention to how old they all are. Our experience was not good.

TUTTO PER TUTTI!
Our well-traveled family of five stayed in Poggiardo at Palazzo Umberto for six days earlier this month during a three week Italy adventure. We live in Los Angles, California but always enjoy traveling abroad with our kids when we can. Our "kids" are now ages 20, 22, and 23. Upon arrival, we were happily greeted by Maria who gave us a tour around her grand home. Needless to say, Umberto is even more beautiful in person than the photos depict! The house is spotless and is well equipped with everything to make any visitor's stay comfortable and enjoyable. While staying there, our family rented bicycles for several days to sightsee around the area. Traveling by bicycle was quite enjoyable for our group. It was a lovely way to visit the small towns surrounding Poggiardo. We especially enjoyed riding the bikes along the Adriatic Sea and eating lunch in Santa Cesera Terme. After each day's ride, we were happy to come home to a sparkling clean salt water pool to cool off. We spent several hours throughout the week in the garden seating areas enjoying wine with appetizers before heading into one of the many delicious restaurants for dinner in the neighborhood. You can't go wrong with any of the food establishments! All the restaurants prepare fresh food and are very generous with the portions they serve! The pastry and gelato shops in town are also quite fabulous! It was a good thing for us that we stayed active during the days because no one ever left much food on their plates! Each member of our family would love to return to Poggiardo and stay in Palazzo Umberto again. We cannot thank Maria and her husband, Andrea, enough for their wonderful hospitality and kindness to our family. Mille grazie! We hope to return someday soon!

A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY IN A WONDERFUL PALAZZO!!!
My wife and I visited the beautiful Palazzo Umberto in Poggiardo in June, and we absolutely loved it! From the minute we arrived, when we received a warm welcome from Maria, and we were shown all the beautiful rooms and the gorgeous “secret” garden we knew we’d made the right choice.
First the Palazzo – so grand and ornate, every room lovely to look around.
There is a rooftop terrace over-looking the square with a lovely bathroom with a huge bath, a bedroom, sitting room and kitchen on the top floor. Then, down an ancient staircase you come to the main floor – a kitchen fitted out with everything you could possibly want, from a coffee maker, a dishwasher, crockery and cutlery - every mod-con you would need; a grand dining room, a grand sitting room with a balcony, again over-looking the square, 2 more lovely huge bathrooms, and 2 bedrooms with air-con…all leading out onto a terrace over-looking the garden equipped with a BBQ and large seating area – we sat and ate there every day soaking up the sun and the atmosphere.
Then down to the ground floor – this is more open plan, with thick stone walls and gorgeous stone ceilings, lending a very cool feeling to this floor, despite the heat outside – it has air-con, of course, but you hardly needed it so effective was the stone-work. We based ourselves on this floor – it too had a fantastic shower-room, a further bathroom, a small kitchen, 2 bedrooms, dining area and sitting area – as the early morning swim was so much closer!!
The “secret” courtyard garden also is lovely, with a fantastic swimming pool, numerous comfortable seats, various citrus trees and flowers everywhere.
During ours stay we used the 2 bikes provided and explored the peaceful countryside. Poggiardo itself is quite a quiet, small town that comes to life on market Wednesdays – we became “locals’ popping to the supermarket daily to stock up on fresh produce for lunch, whilst in the evenings, wandering out to the local restaurants for gorgeous Italian meals.
You can probably tell we loved our holiday here – the house, the town, the sea, the countryside, the food, the friendly people – wish we were there now, and hope to return soon! Maria and Andrea gave us a wonderful holiday in a wonderful house.

Bellissima villa
Sono tornato per la seconda volta in questo Palazzo stupendo per festeggiare il mio 50 esimo compleanno, se io potessi ci vivrei per sempre lí: avevo la camera di fronte alla piscina con dei soffitti a stella e il bagno en suite, con la doccia enorme. Ho chiesto di fare il late safe check in, perché sono arrivato in aereo tardi la notte , e il mio host ha organzzato un trasfer con Renê Taxi per tutto il gruppo. Noi abbiamo avuto un tempo fantastico, abbiamo avuto il cuoco che ha cucinato per noi i piatti tipici del luogo, la terrazza per il pranzo all'aperto era favolosa. L'aria condizionata era efficiente in ogni camera da letto e abbiamo dormito benissimo- Per la veritá, al piano terra i muri in pietra sono cosi possenti che la casa é fresca naturalmente . Questo é davvero un posto speciale che merita di essere abitato almeno una volta nella vita ! Grazie Maria per tutti i servizi che ci hai fornito degni di un albergo a 5 stelle ! Spero di tornare ancore, non c'é due senza tre!

FABULOUS
Una villa incredibile!!!! Quando io sono entrato nel PALAZZO, mi sono sentito trasportato indietro nel tempo, in una dimensione storica avvolto nella bellezza . Gli spazi esterni a luglio erano mozzafiato, profumo di lavanda e di arance, lime, prugne e una vite di uva ancora acerba avvolgeva la terrazza, una poesia ! Non potevo credere ai miei occhi , era molto piú bello dal vivo che sulle foto. Le foto non rendono giustizia alla bellezza di questo posto fantatico . La casa ha interni degni di una rivista, enorme con 5 bagni davvero confortevoli . La doccia del piano terra era strepitosa e la mia camera grande quasi 100 metri. Fantastica vacanza , esperienza indimenticabile , host davvero molto molto affifabile , torneremo sicuramente !

This is a beautiful house and grounds that is so very convenient, being middle of the town, yet completely private. Attention should be paid to the details of the listing. Maria is exceptionally responsive and helpful.

Fantastic week at Palazzo Umberto
We have just returned to Norway after a fantastic week in Poggiardo. We went four generations and everyone enjoyed the stay so much. The palazzo is large, so you may have some time for yourself if needed. All necessary equipment required was there kitchen and bath rooms etc.
The place was perfectly cleaned upon arrival.
Maria was a helping angel; she took care of all our requests and organized minibus rides to the only open lido (October) and transport tour/retour to the airport and so on.
Bare in mind that Poggiardo is not a tourist destination and English is not widely spoken, but that is also part of the charm.
What can be improved:
Maria; you can sharpen the knives in the kitchen.
We have no hesitation giving Palazzo Umberto and Maria five stars.

Delight in Southern Puglia
Our group of 8 adults enjoyed a marvellous time at this unique house. The outdoor areas in Summer were particularly useful, the pool and the shade excellent, the location to many surrounding areas a real treat. Poggiardo is a lovely town, close to Castro and well located for a day trip to Lecce and many wonderful coastal towns. Maria was a delight to deal with. Highly recommend.

Large group holiday
Our group of 6 adults and 5 children (aged 7-12) spent a lovely week in Palazzo Umberto Poggidaro in August 2022. The accommodation is split over three floors which suited our three families. The kitchen is small but the outside space more than makes up for it. The pool area (with a gate) was beautiful and the pool was a great size and depth for our kids who spent the week swimming. The green space to the side of the house was lovely and cool during the heat and the kids loved playing on the grass with the bowls set. There was ample parking for three cars. Palazzo Umberto is a traditional rustic beautiful house - we loved the pool area and outside space. Poggidaro is a small town with some lovely bars and a good choice of restaurants - close to towns such as Ortrano and Castro. There were lots of events on in the town while we were there - the weekly market, a music concert and a Cuban night. We had a great week and would recommend the Palazzo to friends and family.

Une superbe maison, très agréable pour 2 familles avec enfants
Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine de vacances dans cette villa. Accueil par la propriétaire sympathique et chaleureuse. Une ancienne demeure avec beaucoup de charme et avec une grande piscine où les enfants ont passé beaucoup de temps.
