Great country getaway

Away from the tourist attractions but close enough, this home was a tranquil retreat after a day visiting the local attractions. Francesco is a generous host and communication was excellent. Everything you need here and more. Bari and Lecce an hour away by train from nearby Ostuni.

Wonderful

This is a great place to stay. Plenty of room both inside and outside and, very comfortable. And, it has a wonderful outdoor shower! Only a 5 minute drive to the center of Ceglie and all the great restaurants. Yet, the property is secluded and is very quiet. Convenient road access to all the places we visited in Puglia, including the beach. The owners, Francesco and Luciana are wonderful. This is a place we plan to stay at when we return to Puglia.

Perfect stay in Ceglie.

My husband and I have just returned from a fantastic 2 week stay in Puglia. Francesco was a wonderful host. The home was in a great location; very centralized for visiting all the beautiful sites in Puglia. It is situated in an olive tree grove which lends itself to peace and quiet, yet it is only a few minutes drive from Ceglie, a beautiful hillside town with so much history as well as lots of great restaurants. The home was very clean and super comfortable. It is exactly as it appears in the pictures. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stay in Puglia.

Our stay at Orange Crush was very good. The outdoor tv wouldn't work when we got there, didnt have a iron or ironing board, but i contacted the manager and they had everything replaced with hours. All the things were no big deal but the fact that they answer quickly with no questions asked was a plus. The pool and outdoor kitchen was great. The bad about the location is that is breeding grounds for FROGS! I hate frogs. They were all stuck to the house. My husband had caught about 10 of them and threw them over the fence. 10 is just too many for me. They made noise all night long. I would definitely stay again if they got that under control but until then i wont. Directions to the house on the gps kept sending us to a dead-end by a school. It took us about 30-45 minutes to actually find the house.

Das Haus und Grundstück war genau wie beschrieben. Es ist zwar nicht rollstuhlgerecht, aber durch vorhandene Rampen konnten die Stufen gut überwunden werden. Innerhalb des Hauses war ausreichend Platz zum Bewegen mit dem Rollstuhl. Durch mobile Heizkörper konnte die abendlichen Kühle im Wohnbereich und Bad vertrieben werden. Ansonsten schließen wir uns den Aussagen der voran gegangenen Rezensionen an. Die Erreichbarkeit und der Kontakt zu Francesco war außerordentlich gut. Er war sehr hilfsbereit.

Partiamo dall'inizio: - il Sig. Francesco si è da subito dimostrato flessibile in fase di check-in e si è prodigato per venire incontro alle nostre esigenze da milanesi imbruttiti. - la casa è immersa nella quiete della campagna messapica in posizione strategica per delle ferie all'insegna del Relax, Cultura e tanto mare cristallino che circonda questo tratto salentino della nostra splendida Italia. - la casa internamente ci è stata presentata pulita in ogni suo dove (a prova di moglie Imbruttita), arredata con svariati dettagli che denotano attenzione e buon gusto che ti fa sentire Ospite ...e non cliente in una anonima dimora temporanea. Il vasto spazio esterno, da noi sfruttato tantissimo, comprende: - vasto parcheggio - ampio tavolo per colazioni assolate e cene ventilate dal quieto e rigenerante vento salentino - barbecue in muratura - dondolo ed amache - canestro per sfide uno contro uno ...svago per padri e figli iper - ultima ma non ultima...bella ed ampia doccia esterna (con acqua calda) Insomma non manca nulla. Infine per onestà intellettuale mi permetto di scrivere alcune migliorie, ribadisco migliorie (già evidenziate al Sig. Francesco in fase di check out), ventilatore troppo potente e rumoroso anche al minimo per un uso notturno (less is more), assenza dello stampo per i cubetti di ghiaccio e l'asse del bagno non all'altezza del contesto. Concludo sperando di poter quanto prima ritornare per le ferie in questa bella location. Grazie di tutto Dario Riva

Positionnement idéal au cœur des Pouilles

Emplacement idéal pour visiter les Pouilles de par sa position centrale. Le logement est très calme et reposant, sans vis-à-vis ou proches voisins. Certes, nous avons eu chaud mais c'était notre choix de nous y rendre fin juillet et début août en pleine canicule. Si vous ne supportez pas la chaleur, optez pour la Scandinavie ;-) Fransesco est très disponible, attentionné et réactif pour répondre aux diverses questions. La communication est aisée via Whatsapp. Attention vous êtes parfaitement situé pour effectuer des visites mais un véhicule est absolument nécessaire!

Een prachtige villa

We verbleven in een mooie, verzorgde, kraaknette villa met alle comfort om ons verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. De villa is heel rustig gelegen en toch op een boogscheut van het centrum van Ceglie Messapica. Ideaal om 's avonds een restaurantje bezoeken. Ook een goede uitvalsbasis om de vele mooie stadjes van Puglia te gaan bezoeken. Het contact met de eigenaar Francesco verliep ook heel vlot. Een héél behulpzaam en attent persoon.

Location bien située pour les visites, mais …

Pas d'accueil à notre arrivée (ce que je peux comprendre) eau chaude et réfrigérateur non mis en service la notice d’installation étant en Italien nous avons eu du mal à nous installer il serait bien d’avoir une notice dans toutes les langues des vacanciers reçus laissée sur la table à vue. La maison n’est absolument pas fraîche l’été comme indiqué dans l’annonce. Le coin détente ne peut pas l’être, la toile des hamacs est moisi et ce coin est particulièrement infesté de moustiques, d’ailleurs il serait appréciable de conseiller aux vacanciers lors des derniers échanges de se munir de produits anti-moustiques … La maison est bien située pour les visites. Francesco a été réactif lors de nos demandes.

Caro Stephane, mi dispiace che tu abbia attribuito alla mia casa il caldo che hai sentito questa estate, ma forse ti è sfuggito che in quei giorni le temperature, a livello globale, hanno raggiunto i massimi di sempre, ovunque, nel mondo intero. Ti ringrazio per il suggerimento di far trovare agli ospiti le indicazioni tecniche e di sicurezza in più lingue, cosa che ho già fatto. A tutte le altre tue critiche preferisco far rispondere gli oltre 40 ospiti che ho avuto sia prima che dopo di te, i quali si sono sempre trovati benissimo nella mia casa e con i quali ho sempre avuto una interlocuzione stupenda: di questi, a parte 2 che mi hanno dato valutazione a 4 stelle, tutti gli altri mi hanno sempre dato valutazioni a 5 stelle. Qualcosa di bello devono averlo trovato nella mia villa e nel mio modo di accoglierli e di farli stare bene...

Good location for Puglia with a friendly host

A comfortable and quiet villa, suitable for a family of four or just the two of you. A good-sized fridge freezer, hob (gas and electric) plus fan oven means that you can cook full meals if you so desire. There is a brick barbeque and pizza oven outside, but we didn't use them. There's a lot of outside space with good lighting for those warm evenings to sit and drink a glass of wine or two. This was our second visit, so Francesco (the host) must be doing something right. The villa is situated only 10-15 minutes from Ostuni with Ceglie Messapica only 5-10 minutes away - both were our main shopping towns. Although there is a bus service, I would recommend a car as I don't think it was very frequent. For visiting Puglia this is a good place to stay with all of the obvious tourist locations within 2 hours' drive and long sandy beaches about 30 minutes away. There is a screened, outside shower (with hot water) that is useful for washing off sand from the beach before you enter the villa. Many Puglia towns have an historic centre that is worth visiting, admittedly some are easier to drive into than others, but perseverance is the key. Grottaglie is great for pottery and if you visit Matera then be sure to visit Ginosa which is surrounded by a ravine filled with abandoned cave houses. A great comparison.

Séjour Formidable

Villa bien situé à proximité de toutes destinations, nous avons passé un séjour formidable dans cette villa avec une intimité totale, après une bonne douche à l'extérieur barbecue chaque soir à notre retour d'excursions . Nous avons également eu la chance de rencontrer Mr Francesco et son épouse et la madré qui son de belles personnes distinguées et sympathiques. Ne connaissant pas l'italien on a pu se débrouiller et même parfois accompagné de quelques parties de rires Heureusement l'épouse de Mr Francesco a quelques notions de français , mais comme disait la Madré pas besoin de traduire le rire est universel.

Super relaxtes Ferienhaus

Wir hatten sehr entspannte Tage in Francescos Haus. Es war alles da, was man braucht. Das Haus sehr geräumig und alles in sehr gutem Zustand. Zu zweit haben wir gar nicht alles genutzt (z.B. den Grill). Besonders für Familien ist es sicher noch viel besser geeignet. Die Lage ist sehr gut als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge für die wunderschönen Städte und deren Sehenswürdigkeiten im Valle d'Itria. Auch die nächstgelegene und nicht so bekannte Stadt Ceglie ist auf den zweiten Blick wunderschön.
