Holiday rentals near Spiaggia di Gorgognolo

Casale Citrignano di Mina & Andrea Is a lovely villa 5 mins drive from the small functional Puglia town of San Michele Salentino (where there are locals restaurants, petrol and shops) and 15 mins drive from beautiful tourist destination of Ostuni (the ‘White City’). It’s out in the countryside so you really need a car - this makes it wonderfully quiet and rural and it’s within easy day visits for go-to destinations including Polignano, Monopoli, Alberobello, Martina Franca and more. The owners - Andrea and Mina - live next door and were really helpful, kind and friendly leaving wine and biscuits on arrival and bringing fresh eggs for us in the week. The villa has everything and more that you need; the patio area has plenty of seating and umbrellas for shade and the pool is great for cooling off. There’s also an outside kitchen and BBQ. There are actually two separate units to the property: the master suite which has indoor seating, kitchen, dining, bathroom and behind a half-height wall, the double bedroom. There’s a second small unit also accessed from the patio with a small kitchenette, double bed and bathroom making the configuration perfect for the three adults in our group. (I believe the villa is always let complete but you’d have to check). It was a perfect stay for the second week of our two-week Puglian holiday: thank you.

Tucked away in the Ostuni countryside but perfectly located to reach all the towns and villages surrounding Ostuni with total ease. The villa was comfortable, clean and rustic, being made up of an old Truli. Surrounded by fruit trees the property felt secure and secluded. Checking in and out was a breeze and the property manager was very quick with all communications. Open fire BBQ was fun and satisfying and the pool was the perfect antidote to the heat of the day.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Cicerali, it is the most stunning setting amidst the olive groves & feels very private. The host was very prompt to answer any queries & our holiday was enriched by many of her recommendations for restaurants & beaches. A perfect escape for families (our young children loved it!) & having a private pool was such a treat (beautifully lit up at night). We hope to return! Laura

The hospitality and generosity of Salvino and his family are much praised in the Vrbo reviews, and deservedly so: Salvino (and his daughter Roberta and son Domenico) is a magnificent host, and the appartment a perfect base for enjoying Ostuni.

Wonderful villa with everything you could possibly want, lovely outdoor eating area and pool, all the rooms were gorgeous, everything was perfect. Will the owner was extremely helpful and catered for all our needs. Most definitely recommend

We stayed at Villa Paradiso for a week and wished we could have stayed a month. Inside and outside this is a beautiful property. The kids fought over who slept in the Truli. The pool is excellent and watching the sunset and stars from the roof terrace is the end to a perfect day. All of the local towns of Ostuni and Ceglie Messapicca are 15-20 minutes away. Further afield the beaches near Monopoli are not too far away. Ceglie is a gastronomic delight. We are there three times and had three delicious and varied meals. All from recommendations from Robert. But by far the best part of staying at Villa Paradiso was the way that the owner Robert and the local manager Francesca helped us. Robert is an excellent host and did everything he could to help us have a great time. He gave us loads of suggestions of things to do and places to go. It was like visiting a friend. Thank you Robert. Francesca is a star. Meeting us with a smile and achieving that difficult balance of being available but not in your face. She helped sort out any little question or issue. She is lovely. We were all sad to leave Villa Paradiso and have vowed to come back. If you are looking for a gem in Puglia, you won’t go wrong at Villa Paradiso.

It would be difficult to find a better location and views than those which this apartment provide. Great central position for bars, restaurants and attractions. This property, being in the centre and top of the town does mean quite a bit of uphill walking and climbing of many steps, but it is well worth the effort.

We really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Ostuni. The apartment was full of character, comfortable, clean and had an amazing view from the private balcony. Simona was very friendly and helpful with our arrangements.
