Pizzo vacation rentals

Our stay here was wonderful. Our family-kids, grandkids, grandparents all really enjoyed it. Our host Alessio is a super host! Communication with Alessio was great. He was very attentive to our needs and was always available to us. He took time at check in to explain the home and answer all our questions. He welcomed us with a basket filled with wonderful local fruit. The home is set up well for a family or group with lots of room. The kitchen was well equipped and we did cook a lot. We really appreciated that the whole house had window screens. Air conditioning worked great. We used it generously and the added charge was minimal. The laundry setup was very helpful too. The dining room easily seats 8 and the living room has comfortable seating as well. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Our grandkids loved the large bathtub. The true highlight of this wonderful country home was the large pool. The pool was sparkling clean and the water temperature was perfect. The pool area is set up well with lots of lounge chairs and a table for 6-8 to sit around under a covered pergola. Also the pool is fenced, gated and can be locked which is good when you have small children. Loved the foosball table! This home is in a secluded gated rural area. Very quiet, peaceful and tranquil. The town of Gallipoli is just 10 minutes away and many sandy beaches 10-15 minutes away. Same for groceries and gas. This home and its wonderful host made many happy memories for our family.

The apartment was roomy, clean ,bright! The air conditioner worked very well. The outside area had many seating areas and the pool was deep and sizable. You need a car and the road to the house is a bumpy dirt road . Once at the complex you are at an oasis with palm trees and many plants. Dario the host was friendly and always accessible! Great place for a large group. Very quiet- no houses near the complex .

WE LOVE THIS PROPERTY!! We had a two week stay here and can't say enough about how beautiful the house and grounds are, as well as the hospitality of Emanuella and Livio!! Livio is attentive without being intrusive and is a wonderful man... he also brought us some of the sweetest fresh cantaloupes we've ever had several times. We fell in love with the Puglia region and definitely plan to return again in the future. It was extremely hot while we were there, but the AC in the rooms and the beautifully cooled swimming pool more than made up for it. The house itself is immaculately clean and well... just flat out cool... we enjoyed several sunsets from the roof and the views are spectacular. The local Super Mac is a great store to get anything you might need and Sannicola and Tuglie (Origini Cafe for coffee and pastries is a must) are both beautiful towns with abundant options for eating and drinking. It is also an easy 10-12 minute drive into Gallipoli and we spent several days enjoying that amazing town and the public beach is a great swimming and sunning option with easy parking and access. We loved the food, staff and service at the Buena Vista there with its amazing views and cool breezes and there are some really great places to eat in the alleys of the Old Town. We also spent a great day doing the coastal drive from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca... stunning drives with lots of places to stop and relax, take pics and we highly recommend L'Incanto, which is in a small village just outside of SM di Leuca. If your Italian language skills aren't at least functional here, you will need to be able to use a translator app to help, as we found very few people in the region speak English (which is actually quite cool) but you have to work at communication. Navigation if you drive can also be stressful as Google Maps can play some tricks on you when you least expect it. And if you are going to drive you should be prepared to be assertive and drive with purpose without being aggressive just because the locals do... they know the roads and customs and you don't. I grew up driving in LA and pride myself on being able to handle just about anything but this is a totally different kind of experience. I cannot say enough how great this place is and how much we appreciated being able to spend a couple of weeks here. Thank you Emanuella for the most memorable vacation ever!!
