Wonderful place to releax

Luisa is an excellent hostess and a wonderful lady. The holiday home is small, but it offers everything you need. The large garden, the great roof terrace with a view of the sea, the 5m pool, the outdoor dining area with grill and many other things make for a great holiday. The holiday home is ideally located for traveling around Puglia (and only 5 minutes by car to the sea). We had two wonderful weeks and thank Luisa for her hospitality, her helpfulness and her discreet manner. We will certainly have positive memories of this holiday for a long time to come.

Great stay! Great Hostess!

We had a wonderfull stay at Bella Terra. The house is compact but comfortable and has everything you need, such as towels, shampoo, toilet paper, coat racks, bed linen, TV, oven, washing machine, iron, etc. The location of “Bella Terra” is perfect for day trips to special places of interest like Lecce, Alberobello and many others , and “ Bella Terra” is quietly located. When arrived, we received a warm welcome from Louisa, and she offered us homemade jam, eggs and delicious Limoncello. The garden is definitely the place to be. A large part of the garden is reserved for guests. The garden is delightfull with lots of places to relax and sit under the olive trees, equipped with garden chairs, sun loungers and hammocks. We also loved the new swimming pool which was big enough, and we loved also the outdoor shower. We could also enjoy the plums and figs that grow on the trees. Louisa said : take them , and eat them, as much as you can . Louisa lives next door. She is attentive to your needs, but affords you space to do your own thing and gave us the privacy we needed. If you have a problem, she's happy to help you to solve it ( Louisa: thx to solve our car-problem ) I also enjoyed her massage. She did this very professionally. ( keep breathing : In......out......in.....out ) We also bought olive oil and it was packaged super professionally. So : We can definitely recommend “ Bella Terra” to everyone. You won't regret it.

Our dream vacation in Puglia

This adorable Trullo was amazing and perfect for us. A slice of country by the sea side, with a flair of Puglia style. Central to some of the best towns to visit in Puglia, whether it be by the sea or country side. Louisa is an amazing host and the details she includes in your stay are amazing. You have a starter for breakfast, lunch and vino all included. Our stay was over the top and would highly recommend to a couple wanting a peaceful, garden stay in Puglia.

An oasis of tranquility

We had a wonderful stay at Bella Terra. Louisa is an amazing host, there is you need her but never intrusive. The inside accommodation is compact but comfortable and has everything you need. Outside is just amazing with so many places to sit and enjoy the beautiful garden. It was great to have the pool to cool off. This is a good location for getting around - the train station just 5 mins drive away with frequent services to Lecce and Bari. Good road links too. Our only complaint is that the time went so quickly!

A perfect getaway

It's a small apartment on a sprawling property - the apartment itself is lovely but the real reason to love the place is the outside. Lots of nooks and crannies to get some sun, take a nap, cool off (the pool and the outdoor shower). I only realized when I came back to Rome for a couple of days how much Louisa's place had let me disconnect and relax. It was everything I was hoping for in a rural Italian getaway.

A wonderful stay

Our stay in Carovigno at Louisa's trullo was lovely. The outdoor space is just amazing - flowers everywhere, the trees and too many space to choose from for relaxing. We enjoyed the sunset from the roofdeck, cooled off in the pool, and ate every meal outside. Louisa is a wonderful host. Her gift of a bottle of wine, her dried figs and jam, and all of the breakfast and snack provisions, was much appreciated. She thought of everything, including beach towels, chairs and umbrella and mosquito coils. We loved our stay in Puglia and Louisa and her home were so much a part of our enjoyment there.

Wonderfull

Kleine accommodatie, maar alles is aanwezig. Mooie en grote tuin. Rustige ligging maar toch vlak bij een badstad en een stad met alle nodige winkels. Autoweg is ook vlakbij (4km), wat handig is voor uitstapjes. Een hoofdstukje apart voor Louisa. Louisa is een pracht van een gastvrouw. Ze had er voor gezorgd dat wij bij aankomst niets tekort kwamen. Water, wijn, brood, fruit en nog dingen waren er voor ons. Ze was er meestal wel, maar ze zorgde er altijd voor dat wij onze privacy hadden. Louisa bedankt voor alles. Small accommodation but everything is there. Nice and big garden. Quiet location yet close to a seaside town and a city with all the necessary shops. Motorway is also nearby (4km), which is handy for trips. A separate chapter for Louisa. Louisa is a wonderful hostess. She had ensured that we were not short of anything upon arrival. Water, wine, bread, fruit and other things were there for us. She was usually there, but she always made sure we had our privacy. Louisa, thanks for everything

Wir konnten eine wunderschöne Zeit im dem tollen Trullo mit wunderschönem Garten geniessen! Bei Ankunft war alles bereit, sauber und wunderbar gepflegt. Der Garten ist einfach toll und man kann richtig gut entspannen. Gastgeberin Louisa hält sich absolut im Hintergrund ist aber für jegliche Fragen immer da.

Soluzione spettacolare

Per dirlo in poche parole: abbiamo amato questa casa! La casa é ben attrezzata, tanto che risulta una buona soluzione anche per chi dovesse arrivare in aereo (ma é consigliato poi avere un'auto a disposizione), l'interno non é particolarmente spazioso, ma noi ci siamo stati in 3 senza problemi, all'esterno invece non vi mancheranno angoli relax al sole o all'ombra, dehor e tavolini per mangiare, bere, leggere... Avrete a disposizione una piscina tutta per voi, un barbecue, e un magnifico terrazzo completamente privato dove prendere il sole, anche integrale, se vi fa piacere. Louisa é una ospite eccezionale, sempre gentile e paziente, a vostra disposizione per qualunque necessità, ma assolutamente mai invadente e rispettosa della vostra privacy. Noi abbiamo approfittato della posizione della casa per visitare, Carovigno, Ostuni, Alberobello, Polignano a mare, Monopoli, Cisterinino, Locorotondo, San Vito dei Normanni. E diverse spiagge del litorale, tra cui la riserva di Torre Guaceto che consigliamo vivamente.

A great introduction to Puglia

Lovely stay at Bella Terra. Louisa is not only a lovely warm person she’s interesting and intuitive. Nothing is too much trouble...rare to find this these days. Louisa is also generous with her plums and figs when plentiful. When we arrived, early June, her garden was an abundance of fruits and flowers. Her Limoncello is the best we’ve tasted. Good location just a few minutes drive from historic Carovigno town and the beach and waterfront fish restaurants at Torre Santa Sabina. Also just 15 mins drive from Ostuni. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay.

A perfect choice for a first visit to Italy

The property was easy to find, situated in a quiet rural location, yet only five minutes from the sea (at Santa Sabina) or the local supermarket (at Carovigno). The accommodation was clean and provided all the facilities I needed, and the welcome pack of 'essentials' was much appreciated due to my late evening arrival. Sitting under the gazebo on the front patio for breakfast in the warm sunshine was idyllic, and coupled with walks along the seashore provided the 'chilling' time I was in need of after the stress earlier in the year. Louisa was the perfect host, providing information and advice to help the novice, which I am sure will bring me back in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Louisa Hudson

Retired special needs teacher , love to paint, love the sunshine, food and friendly people. My mother was born in Carovigno and I fell in love with the place after family holidays as a child. I worked hard to renovate the property and guests have really enjoyed their stay. I now spend more time in Italy developing my lovely garden , producing wine, olive oil , jams and limoncello which are for sale. I also enjoy painting the local scenery.
I provide a little welcome pack for all guests of a few essentials which are much appreciated especially for late arrivals.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the house, beautiful garden and location. It has fantastic sea views! The house which I have worked hard on to renovate, sits in the middle of an acre of lovely garden with lots of different fruits, olives and a small vineyard. Whilst it is very private and rural , its only 5 minutes drive to the beach and 5 minutes to the town of Carovigno. So the house has the peace of the countryside but is not remote.
The rental part of the house is a flat topped trullo (Saraceno).It is a typical Trullo but with a flat top and built of stone with thick walls, a window in the bathroom and a window in the bedroom. It is tiled throughout and is simply but tastefully decorated. Its a haven from the hustle and bustle of life with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The house is at the top of a private drive and has a security system. The house has everything you need for your stay. There is a 5 mt circular above ground pool in the summer months and convenient outdoor shower. The house is ideal for outdoor living with a large patio with 3x3 meter gazebo with mosquito nets under which is a large table and chairs. There are 2 comfortable loungers and 2 more on the roof terrace.

What makes this property unique

The trullo is ideal for a couple having one double bedroom. There is also a sofa bed in the living area which would be fine for an adult or 1 child. It has a country cottage feel in a beautiful location. 5 metre above ground pool to cool off in and get some exercise during the summer months. Newly installed Wifi. Wander around the garden in the mornings and pick figs, plums and grapes and lots of other fruits. The house is on a hill so there is a lovely healthy sea breeze, many houses in the interior of the countryside can be very hot, but Bella Terra has a fresh magical atmosphere.
Its very easy to find as its near a very tasteful 4 star hotel called Corte di Fero which has a big sign on the main road to Carovigno. Turn at the sign and the house is down the lane. The hotel is lovely , has a large swimming pool and is only a few minutes walk from my house. The hotel is not visible from the house.
Long term rental now available during the winter. A perfect hideaway for a writer or someone/couple who are looking for solitude.
