Amazing property

Beautiful property with stunning garden and so many scenic places to relax in the sunshine. Very close to lovely swimming spots, and close enough to walk into Otranto. We had an amazing time staying at Gulias for the week, would highly recommend!

Amazing place right by the beach!

We loved our stay. This is a wonderful place right by a beautiful secluded beach (which was perfect for our 5yr old son (rocky pool, shallows). The house has a great outdoor space too. The host was BRILLIANT with excellent communication throughout our stay. Thank you.

Wonderful experience

Our group of 3 couples had the time of our lives at this charming house by the sea. Large living spaces, beautiful outdoor setting with garden and large lawn and a view to the sea. The beach was 2 steps away in a protective cove. Very gentle to swim in. We enjoyed exploring Otranto and surrounding area but it was nice just hanging out in our beautiful villa.

Perfect location but needs upgrades

This house is in some ways extraordinary. It has maybe the most magical location and terrace ever. However, given its cost, the landlord needs to spend a little money making some basic improvements. One toilet didn't fully flush. The dishwasher barely functioned (had to run twice to get things clean), a screen in a bathroom was broken and a main bedroom didn't have any screens and since the mosquitoes were bad at night we had to run the air conditioner despite a lovely evening breeze. Screens could fix this. The barbeque had no grill so was unusable. The oven in the kitchenette only worked if the stove clicker was on. The kitchen itself is only a galley kitchen. There were no beach towels or beach umbrella, small amenities that seem appropriate for a beach house.

Dear Jenny, thank you for your review. We will improve all that is possible to improve. Just some points. Beach towels were in the house just 1 hour after your check in, but you don't like it. The beach umbrella was close to the barbecue, the grill was under the barbecue and it was new. Screens for mosquitos are in every bedrooms window except on the door of the first floor for obvious aesthetics reason and also practical. If the dishwasher didn't work properly we could fix it immediately if you'd just tell me the first day.same for the owen.for the toilet flush sometimes people throw inappropriate thing so it could happen, but it is already fixed, you'd just had to ask. Kitchen is a little kitchen as it is well described by photos and description, but it has almost everything that a guest can need. We did our best and for 8 persons the price is really low for the area and the great unique position on the beach. By the way it's ok, don't worry! Any suggestion is appreciated and we will work to improve our wonderful villa.

We had a wonderful stay at this villa and really appreciated the kindness of the owner, Giulia. The location is fantastic, with a beautiful garden and a lovely outdoor terrace that made relaxing and dining outside a real pleasure. It also benefits from the most lovely Beach Cove at the bottom of the Garden.The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — kindly allowing us to check in much earlier than usual and also letting us check out later due to our flight times, which gave us extra time to enjoy the property. Simona, who looks after the villa, was absolutely amazing and could not have been more helpful throughout our stay.There were a few practical challenges: the washing machine broke on our first day, and one of the ensuite taps gave way, but to their credit, Simona and Giulia had both issues resolved very quickly, with replacements and plumbers arriving the next day. The responsiveness was excellent.That said, some of the indoor facilities, such as the kitchen and ensuite bathrooms, felt a little dated compared to the outdoor spaces, and air conditioning wasn’t available in all the rooms. Given the premium price point, future guests might expect slightly more modern interiors and amenities. Overall, though, we had a lovely holiday here, and the setting, warm hospitality, and care shown by both the owners and Simona made it a very enjoyable experience.

Schöne alte Villa mit großem lauschigen Garten und direktem Zugang zum Meer

Mein Mann, unsere zwei Pudel und ich haben die letzten zwei Wochen in dieser charmanten Villa verbracht. Die große Terrasse mit diversen Sitzmöglichkeiten lädt zum Verweilen ein, mit Sicht auf den Garten und das Meer. Am Ende des Gartens führt ein Tor direkt zum kleinen Sandstrand und auf die Klippen. Das Meer leuchtet in den Farben türkis bis dunkelblau, das Wasser ist kristallklar. Die Villa befindet sich in einem kleinen, abgeschlossenen Quartier, das durch ein automatisches Tor gesichert ist. Otranto ist nur wenige 100 m entfernt, ein Auto ist jedoch empfehlenswert. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend, jederzeit erreichbar für gute Tipps von Ausflugszielen/Restaurants oder wenn sonst etwas sein sollte. Ein wunderschöner Ort für erholsame Ferien!

Ehrwürdige schöne Villa mit wunderschönem Garten am türkisblauen Meer

Wir haben Ende Mai 2022 eine wunderbare Woche mit 2 kleinen Kindern und Familie hier verbracht. Wir suchten ein Haus ohne Pool mit großem Garten und Strandnähe und sind so auf Giulia‘s Haus gestoßen. Der kleine wunderschöne Sandstrand ist in 2 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Wir haben auch viel Zeit auf der schattigen Terrasse verbracht. Die schöne alte Villa ist stilvoll eingerichtet und die kleine funktionale Küche direkt angrenzend an der Terrasse. Giulia und ihre Familie waren stets und schnell erreichbar und wir bedanken uns für die schöne Woche in ihrer ehrwürdigen schönen Villa am türkisblauen Meer.

Maison idéale pour les vacances

Nous avons passé 15 jours dans cette villa avec plage au fond du jardin, 2 couples avec 3 enfants dont 1 en bas âge. Les photos sont identiques à ce que nous avons découvert à notre arrivée, la propriétaire a été très rapide si nous avions des questions. La maison est très belle (les chambres climatisées), le jardin splendide et l'espace de vie extérieur très agréable, autant la journée que le soir. Je conseille vivement cette maison pour vos prochaines vacances dans cette région. Une voiture est nécessaire pour aller faire des courses ou aller visiter la ville d'Otrante.

Fantastic

When you want a fantastic house on a fantastic location with a huge garden 10 meters from a lovely beach you have to choose this one. We had a very warm welcome. We enjoyed it very much and when something was needed the owner was very helpful. You can walk from the premises to Otranto, a very lively beautiful town with nice bars and restaurants. We lived in the house with 8 adults.

Excellent beachside location with beautiful garden and large outdoor living space

Owners were very kind and attentive to our requests. Location is perfect for those seeking a quieter and more natural beach environment. The outdoor living space is fantastic and we spent most of our time outside. Room for guests, very family friendly and safe.

Una casa da vivere d'estate (ma anche d'inverno)

Una casa meravigliosa, dalla quale è possibile arrivare al mare semplicemente aprendo il cancello. Ottima la posizione e sublime l'accoglienza di Giulia. Molto importante la pulizia di tutti gli ambienti.

Una vacanza indimenticabile!

Una vista eccezionale, si pranza circondati dalla natura, in assoluta pace, godendo di un panorama unico: un'infinita distesa di mare azzurro. Perfetta per i miei bambini, si accede ad una spiaggia semplicemente aprendo un piccolo cancello e percorrendo per pochi metri un sentiero, perfetto anche per mio marito che invece ama la pesca subacquea e gli scogli, ci sono anche quelli e sono stupendi. Abbiamo trascorso serate con gli amici, arrostendo pesce freschissimo sul barbecue in pietra, e ballato sulla grande veranda e nel giardino. E’ davvero un posto incredibile! Lo consiglio e spero di tornarci presto!

Bellissima villa con giardino e spiaggia di fronte

Consiglio a tutti, ma soprattutto a famiglie per la comodità della spiaggia bellissima accessibile dal cancello del giardino. Bellissima villa di fronte al mare con grande giardino e area esterna coperta per oziare e cenare all'aperto. Immobile pulitissimo e in ottimo stato, vicina al centro di Otranto (raggiungibile a piedi in 15 minuti) ma in un complesso di ville chiuso al pubblico e con accesso semi-privato a una spiaggia incantevole. Circondata dal verde. Bagni appena ristrutturati.
