Sobre esta propriedade
Secluded villa with unshared pool (Jun-Sep) surrounded by an acre of olive trees
The villa is set in the heart of the Salento countryside, a wonderfully rustic and timeless part of Puglia in the deep south of Italy. It is extremely well-appointed, with modern facilities throughout and a huge terrace surrounding the entire property, ideal for eating, relaxing and sunbathing. The villa has been insulated to keep it pleasantly cool even during the hottest months, but there is also free air-con in the bedrooms and ceiling fans throughout. There are two double bedrooms, 2 shower rooms (one en-suite), free wi-fi, and a family-sized kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. The living area has a TV with a large library of recent films plus Amazon Prime Video, and a sofa bed providing extra sleeping capacity for 2 further guests.
We have a hectare of land with olive groves (please note we are during 2023/24 replanting our olive trees due to a serious disease affecting the whole region - see our pictures), fruit trees and a vineyard, a stone BBQ, and we are developing a garden with lawn and local flora. There is a swimming pool (June - September) with its own dedicated terrace available for guests' exclusive and private use. The villa is peaceful and secluded, with the owners living only 100m away and always on hand to provide any advice or assistance.We are conveniently located in the middle of the Salento region, 20 minutes from the nearest beach and within striking distance of the entire peninsula. Salento has remained unchanged for generations: it is covered with thousands of acres of olive trees, has historic towns and villages, a spectacular coastal road, and countless beaches and coves. Although popular with Italian holidaymakers, it is seldom visited by foreign tourists and the locals will invariably give you a warm welcome. We are also less than half an hour from the wonderful Baroque city of Lecce, probably one of the most beautiful, atmospheric and yet least-visited of major Italian cities. A holiday in Salento is ideal for people who enjoy beach life, or exploring little-known corners of the Mediterranean - or who just want to relax in comfort, soaking up the summer sun.
Note that the pool is round, 5.5m in diameter and 1.2m deep. Please ensure that these dimensions are suitable for your needs before booking.
Pool open from June - September only,
We are currently replanting our olive groves, so some of the pictures may not reflect current situation. Please message us before booking if in doubt

A blissful retrear
A wonderfully peaceful location, we were able to relax and feel at home straight away. Bill was extremely helpful and friendly, willing to help out with guidance for the area. The welcome pack of essentials given our late arrival time was wonderful so we could rest after the journey. If we had specific questions Bill was always on hand and helped above and beyond what is expected.
The villa itself was clean, comfortable and spacious with everything you could need for your holiday. The private use pool was a wonderful respite from the heat of the day. We definitely intend to return to the villa to repeat the experience.

A great house with a great host
We stayed for 2 weeks in July and loved the house and private pool. The house has everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. We had a mixture of days by the pool and BBQs in the evenings and days out. We loved the covered terrace which was great as the days were so hot. The air-conditioning in the bedrooms was a life saver. We visited Otranto, Gallipoli, Matera, Santa Maria de Leuca, and Alberobello. There is so much to do. But special mention has to go to Bill our host who was so helpful to us when we needed to get our car into the garage in Cutrofiano. He gave numerous lifts and translated so the problems were solved with minimum stress and disruption to our holiday. We can't praise Bill enough!! We would love to go back 😀

Perfectly Delightful Cottage in Puglia
We stayed four nights at this absolutely charming little farmhouse in Puglia. The cottage is set on its own and there is complete privacy. There is a lovely patio that looks out onto olive groves. It is so lovely to sit outside and enjoy the view. The cottage itself is wonderful. It is modern, tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean (which is of upmost importance to me). The owners have thought of every convenience and it takes no time at all to feel at home in this charming villa. There is a town nearby (5 min drive?) Cutrofiano, which is convenient for groceries, etc; however, the owners graciously have fresh milk, pasta, and other bits to get you settled so you don't have the sense to arrive and then have to leave again to get supplies. The location, as far as I was concerned, was fabulous. And easy drive to either coast. The owners live nearby but we did not see them once, except upon arrival; however, they are available should we have needed anything. In all, I completely recommend this great little place and will definitely suggest it to my friends if/when they travel to this gorgeous region. Thank you Bill for providing such a wonderful place to stay in Puglia!!

Wonderful and quietly located villaIt was a wonderful holiday in this lovingly furnished and quietly located villa. The magnificent terrace, surrounded by a very well-kept and beautifully landscaped garden with various flowers and fruit trees, basically served as our living room. It was a dream to be able to spend our holiday outside in the warm air. The sounds of cicadas and crickets added to the Mediterranean flair. This is how I imagine my summer holiday.The pool with the very comfortable loungers is surrounded by flowers and plants, as you can see in the pictures. We loved watching the sunset while dangling our feet in the pool. It is pure idyll and balm for the soul!We enjoyed every day to the full and are already planning to come back.Here are some more helpful information. We like to cook and barbecue on holiday and the facilities were very good. Everything we needed or would have needed was there.The rooms are very well maintained, the Wi-Fi works perfectly even to the pool, the air conditioning in the bedrooms is very quiet and high quality. The beds and pillows are super comfortable. We have rarely slept as well as we did there. We would like to thank our friendly, incredibly well organised and helpful host Bill. His villa is one of the premium villas and hosts for a reason.

Fantastic Villa
Stayed for 8 nights. Communication with Bill prior to our trip was really good. When we arrived he was there to meet us and went through local restaurants, beaches, etc. (His green book is an invaluable source of information). The villa was exactly what we wanted. In a lovely countryside location but 10 minute drive to restaurants and 25 mins to the east, west and south coast, ideal for sightseeing and the beaches. Villa itself is great, spacious, spotlessly clean, huge grounds and great pool. Really enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend.

Ideale und gemütliche Unterkunft für Salento
Das großzügige Haus liegt ruhig und ideal zwischen der Ost-, Süd- und Westküste. Es konnten viele Ausflüge gemacht und Salento erkundet werden. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Es gibt quasi keine Nachbarn, die Gastgeber wohnen in der Nähe (fußläufig erreichbar). Der Pool wurde ausgiebig genutzt, da das Wasser stets kühl war, was bei der Hitze perfekt war. Das beste am Haus ist die große überdachte Terrasse, welche man als verlängertes Wohnzimmer nutzen kann. Bill und Tracy sind ausgezeichnete Gastgeber, sehr fürsorglich und sehr diskret. Der Kühlschrank war mit mehr als dem notwendigsten gefüllt, um den ersten Einkaufsstress am Ankunftstag zu vermeiden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! DANKE für den wunderbaren Urlaub!

Tolles, sehr gepflegtes und top ausgestattetes Haus
Das wunderbare, absolut saubere und sehr ruhig gelegene Haus hat schon auf den Bildern bezaubernd ausgesehen und als wir ankamen war alles ganz genauso wie abgebildet. Sogar noch schöner und noch gepflegter. Bill hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und sogar der Kühlschrank war mit Delikatessen gefüllt. Das Auto hat einen schönen, schattigen Stellplatz und die Zufahrt ist angenehm und auch für einen BMW (kein SUV) einfach zu bewältigen.
Bill hat sich täglich unmerklich für uns um den Pool gekümmert. Der Informationsaustausch war vorbildlich und unkompliziert. Absolut TOPP und gerne kommen wir wieder.

Ein wunderschöner Ort zum Entspannen
Wie auf den Bildern schönes, gemütliches Haus mit einer (wie ich finde) wunderschönen Terasse.
Bill ist ein toller Vermieter, der es versteht sich um alles zu kümmern und sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich ist... und Gott sei Dank Dank englisch (Muttersprache) und italienisch spricht und so auch mal bei einer Reservierung helfen kann.
Ja die Lage ist etwas abgeschieden... aber der Nächste Ort ist mit dem Auto nicht weit und hat eine menge gute Restaurants und ich war nach den vollen Städten und Ständen (Saison) sehr froh über den Frieden den dieser Ort ausstrahlt.
Ich würde wieder kommen :)

Beautiful villa in a peaceful setting.
Beautiful villa in a quiet peaceful location. The villa has everything you could possibly need, it is very well equipped even grocery essentials to start you off! Bill and Tracy have gone the extra mile when thinking about their guests comfort and needs.
It’s a great spot to explore the surrounding area and off the tourist track. Cutrofiano is the nearest town about a 10 min drive with a few restaurants, cafes and supermarkets.
We had a great chilling week here and the pool was very welcome in the August heat!

Lovely Villa
Lovely villa in quiet country location and only 10 mins drive to nearest small town for supermarket, restaurants etc. The owners, Bill & Tracey, were great and could not be more helpful. They live a short distance away, they are on hand should any problems occur, but they are very unintrusive. Bill has produced a very useful 'bible' containing information regarding the villa, local shops and restaurants, and places to visit with maps and directions. This was invaluable. There is a small pool which is wonderful to cool off in on hot days and the covered terrace is perfect for eating outside or chilling on the sun loungers at the end of a hard day's sightseeing. Having spent a month in this beautiful hideaway we can thoroughly recommend Villa Della Mora to anyone looking to explore this delightful part of Puglia. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return.

Comfortable and well-equipped
The property is comfortable and well-equipped and the owners have added lots of nice touches to ensure a great stay whatever the weather. We really appreciated the selection of films on hard drive when the weather was poor, as well as the efficient heater (we stayed in mid-May 2019 when the weather was unusually wet and cool). It's within easy reach of the coast on either side of the peninsula and the owners have provided comprehensive information about things to do in the area, as well as places to eat. We particularly enjoyed Otranto and the drive south from there along the coast road. It was very sad to see so many run down or abandoned properties and diseased olive trees in the vicinity but that did not detract too much from our overall enjoyment of the holiday.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Bill
I moved to Puglia from London in 2008 with my partner and children, one of whom was born in Italy. We bought the rental villa and then the family house we now live in 100m away. We love the lifestyle here - the weather, pace of life, community feeling, food, countryside living, hundreds of miles of coastline ... the list goes on and on. We couldn't imagine returning to the UK now, and we're sure you'll understand why if you choose to stay as our guests in this wonderful part of the Mediterranean.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
The villa is secluded and yet near to neighbouring towns; it is surrounded by olive groves and fruit trees; and it is right in the centre of the Salento region of Puglia, providing access to both the Adriatic and Ionian coastlines and their countless coves, bays and beaches.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
This area of Puglia is as yet largely undiscovered by foreign tourists, providing one of the last corners of Italy that genuinely offers a taste of Italian rural life as it has been lived for generations. The people are warm and welcoming, and there are countless bars and restaurants offering exceptionable value for money and quality: eating out - and food more generally - are local obsessions. The cuisine, not to mention absurdly cheap wine, should not be missed!
The Salento region escaped the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, with relatively few cases and little excess pressure on hospitals. But before Covid-19 came along, the region had already recently been devasted by a disease affecting olive trees, Xylella fastidiosa. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of the tree stock is now dying. A state subsidy scheme has been introduced to replant all the trees but this will take time. In the meantime, this lovely region is now suffering, and many of the older olive farmers are struggling to survive. We very much hope that you still wish to visit and thereby help to kickstart the renewal of this wonderful region.
