Puglia houses

We loved this villa with its pool and beautiful gardens.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Casa Aurelian in Polignano . It was a perfect base for us to enjoy the town and tour the broader Pulia region. There is an abundance of fantastic restaurants in the town all within easy walking distance. The casa had everything we needed, as a couple. It was perfect. Giuseppe and Renzo were super helpful and very responsive to texts and any assistance we needed.

An old trullo expanded to accommodate 2 bedrooms and 2 baths…good location for our daily self-guided tours…definitely need a car!…pool was nice but only one day in high 20s made it usable…all good though! Be prepared to kill little bugs on the regular hahahaha We didn’t cook any meals other than breakfast…the host offers prepared meals at a price but we were out and about most times or just brought some bread, cheese, olives back home!

We had an amazing time spending part of our holiday at a trullo. We were greeted by our host who explained everything to us perfectly. They were easy to contact on suggestions on where to eat and what to see and do. The location was quiet but authentic to the history. It was a beautiful location and true to description. Outdoor living area was welcoming with everything you need. We will definitely recommend to our friends and hopefully be able to visit again.

The property is situated in the midst of a number of fields and is elevated so that it provides wonderful views and even to the sea. The secluded area is very private and secure...but is a bit of a drive to Polignano a Mare beach area--approximately 12-15 minutes. The property has wonderful outside areas with a huge dining area outside the upper unit and lots of areas to lay around the pool and sit outside. The outdoor BBQ area worked very well and the property is quite spacious. The only criticism would be that I found the bed a bit uncomfortable and the matress should be replaced. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful property. Check in with Katy was easy and she coordinated a meeting spot to help us find the location of the property. The location is close to many places such as Polignano a Mare and Monopoli and even an easy drive to Bari.

Our stay was exceptional. The host went of their way to ensure we had information about the area with suggestions on places to go, how to get there and options for dining and shopping. Communication was outstanding. We were greeted on arrival. The villa was beautiful. It was beyond our expectations. The property was updated, decorated tastefully, well maintained and squeaky clean. There were so many thoughtful details such as extra towels, candles, wine, cheese, munchies, the list is endless including delicious cakes for birthday celebrations. The villa was in an olive grove and among almond, fig, pomegranate and a variety of citrus trees. It had an herb garden and a variety of interesting plants. Every room had its own unique charm. We enjoyed the peace, quiet and safe environment. It was a short drive into Ostuni, neighbouring villages and markets and a perfect base for touring Puglia. Thank you again for the wonderful experience. It was beyond our expectations and we loved it!

We spent 4 nights at this property in the Centro Storica of Lecce to begin a month long visit to Italy. We can highly recommend it to anyone who wants a comfortable and convenient apartment and enjoys an authentic Italian experience. The apartment was clean, spacious and had everything we needed to do our own cooking. Luigi, the property manager could not have been more helpful in providing information on what to see and where to eat (which we did twice just 20 steps from the apartment at Mama Elvira’s). The rooftop terrace was also very nice for al fresco dining when we cooked ourselves. This deserves 5 stars across the board.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and had the time of our lives. Ed was super friendly yet not intrusive. We'd definitely come back here.
