We were absolutely delighted with the villa. The location and surroundings were stunning, and the beautiful pool was a real focal point of our stay.There was plenty of space for our family of five, and the terrace area was perfect for outdoor dining. Inside, the villa was beautifully furnished, with so much attention to detail, and was incredibly well equipped. Having rented private villas for many years, we can honestly say this was one of the best we have ever stayed in.Antonio and his wife were lovely, welcoming and incredibly helpful throughout our stay.Thank you for a wonderful holiday – we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the villa and would happily recommend it to others.

Hi Marianne
Thank you for your lovely review! I am so pleased you liked it and enjoyed your stay!
I’m truly delighted!
Very nice and perfectly equipped house, the pool is very big and nice and the place is a perfect location to explore many different beaches and sights!
Antonio was incredibly kind and helpful with our check in. The house was the perfect size and a great space to be together. The pool is a lovely size to relax by and swim in when back from sight seeing. Altogether a great place to enjoy a holiday.
This was a very beautiful house with a very calm location. The pool was big and warm and we had a fantastic week here. The beds were really nice and of high quality as was everything else in the villa. I can highly recommend it!
Beautiful setting, so peaceful.
Everything in the villa that you need, home from home.
Away from it all. Closest town for a couple of great little shops is only 5 minutes drive, next closest town 10mins with some lovely traditional restaurants.
Ostuni only about 20mins by car well worth visiting.
All in all a great holiday xx
We had an amazing stay at this incredible villa! The setting is incredibly picturesque with views of the sea and surrounding olive groves. The pool is gorgeous and the house itself is extremely comfortable and well-equipped. We particularly appreciated the shady patio/terrace area and the air-conditioning throughout. And the kitchen was stocked with lots of cutlery, crockery etc. We enjoyed every minute of our stay here and were very sad to leave. Highly recommended.

Perfect Villa
In nearly 30 years of staying in villas, this is the nearest to perfect that we've found. It is modern with a design sensitive to the area. It has a new kitchen, decent size bedrooms and best of all a good size pool. The view of olive groves and beyond them the sea is terrific and it is secluded. We couldn't have wanted for more. The service from both the owner and Antonio the local representative was excellent.

Such a lovely review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and are so thrilled to hear your wonderful comments! We do try to ensure that everyone has a good time and spend time trying to improve the villa year on year, but its so great to hear you say it! Thanks a million!!
Josephine's villa is just as described, lovely but without being so posh that you daren't touch anything! Her maintenance manager Antonio was very pleasant and helpful making checking in and out very smooth. The exterior of the villa is particularly nice with the lovely big pool being a great bonus. We liked it's slight remoteness because it was so peaceful.
Josephine was a really considerate owner who communicated really helpfully with extra tips about how to get the best from the area.
This property is a gem if you want to make day trips to see parts of southern Italy. Or just to enjoy sitting on lovely terrace overlooking the Adriatic and a beautiful swimming pool. It was pefect for the 2 of us but could accommodate another couple or two. Kitchen had everything needed to cook for ourselves. Good shopping nearby for groceries and wine. Many places to visit and games to play at the villa. We found ripe persimmons which were delightful. The host is responsive and generous sharing knowledge of the area. Highly recommended!
The property is in a superb location with amazing views over the pool and olive groves down towards the sparkling Mediterranean Sea !
Lots of places to relax either round the pool or on the shady veranda’s , which was very welcome as we had exceptionally hot weather for early June ! Villa was very comfortable too !
Josephine is a very helpful owner and sorted any hiccups we may of had quickly through a very friendly Antonio who looks after the property for her ! Specchiolla is very convenient for a small but well stocked supermarket and bakeries too , we frequently visited a family bakery called “Dolce & Salato “ which has very helpful and friendly owner and staff too , bread and focaccia is delicious !
We all had a lovely time thank you !

Thank you for the lovely review!So happy you had a good time and liked the area. Just one little fact you might like to know, the villa is on the Adriatic sea, not the Mediteraneum.
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans la maison. Elle est très belle, très bien équipée. La piscine est magnifique. Beaucoup de jeux (ping pong, pétanque, matelas, masques etc pour la piscine, jeux de société etc.) ce n’est pas qu’une maison en location mais une vraie maison de vie et ça fait toute la différence. Nous sommes restés 10 jours, le ménage a été fait à mi séjour, Antonio nous a très bien accueilli, très gentil. Un grand cahier avec plein de recommandations est à disposition. Un panier d’accueil et plein de produits de première nécessité sont mis à disposition. L’emplacement est idéal pour visiter une bonne partie des pouilles. Je recommande les yeux fermés, super séjour ! Merci beaucoup !
Que dire!
La maison est parfaite. Rien n est laisse au hasard. Les infos, la propreté. L accueil, tous a été royal jusqu' au ménage et changement de drap dans la semaine et nettoyage de la piscine .La vue est fantastique .Merci pour les amandes.
Je recommande cette maison a toute les personnes souhaitant voir les Pouilles
Merci Joséphine, ainsi qu a Antoni pour sa gentillesse .Bien entendus je recommande cette maison qui 'était pour nous un vrais paradis
Nous reviendrons
La villa est parfaite, grande piscine, idéal pour les enfants.
Bon contact avec le propriétaire qui vous donne toutes les informations pour faciliter votre séjour.
Voiture indispensable pour visiter les alentours.
Nous parcourons le monde avec parfois quelques surprises, mais là, pas de soucis, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. Je recommande fortement.

Lovely villa in a beautiful setting, with views of the sea.
We had a lovely holiday here, with family, before our nephew’s wedding nearby.
Rob and Jo were so helpful throughout and quick to reply to any queries.
The villa is extremely well-equipped - they really have thought of everything !
We really enjoyed our two-week stay at Villa Diomedes. The location is slightly rural, but there are several towns within a short driving distance so this was not an issue. The Familia Superstore in San Vito is 6 km down the road and features specialty departments for meat, cheese and seafood, and we also enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen for home cooking.
The main attraction (beyond the well-appointed 3 bed/3 bath villa itself) is clearly the large pool and terraces with a view of the Adriatic. The natural reserve and beaches of Torre Guaceto is about 15 minutes away by bike and highly recommended - we were please to find three bikes in the cellar, since the best beaches are very difficult to reach by other means. Take the route via Contrada Bufaleria and SP 37, which is the safest! You don't want to be on SP 35 on a bike...
Amongst other drive-to attractions in the region we would highlight Ostuni (15 minutes), Lecce, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare (all 40 mins) and Matera (1H 45 mins) as the most interesting, but this is clearly a matter of taste.
Planning, check-in and communication with the owners and caretaker was easy, friendly and super responsive and definitely in the top league of VRBO!
We highly recommend this.
Die Villa Diomedes ist ein wirklich schönes und gut ausgestattetes Ferienhaus. Es entspricht voll der Beschreibung bei fewo-direkt. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen.
Für den Strandaufenthalt empfiehlt sich der Strand im Naturschutzgebiet Torre Guaceto. In der Umgebung gibt es viele schöne Orte zu besichtigen, z.B. Carovigno, Oria, Ceglie Messapica und natürlich Ostuni (allerdings recht touristisch) sowie die schöne Barockstadt Lecce.
Ansonsten lässt es sich wunderbar an dem tollen, großen Pool entspannen.
Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!
