Puglia - Private villa with private pool, close to the sea and olive groves

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment I arrived, the kindness and thoughtfulness of Antonio and Assunta were amazing - thank you for looking after me, your advice and kind offers. The villa itself was in a beautiful and tranquil location, with everything you could need. There was even a roof terrace with a beautiful view down to the sea. The large garden area had lots of different areas to sit outside and enjoy, including a pond and rockery which Antonio had built himself. The seafront and beach at Torre Vado could be reached on foot (about 2km downhill on quiet roads) - a great place to go for a swim, to eat or for a drink. The kitchen was very well-equipped and there was a lovely bowl of fresh fruit and some wine to welcome me. It was a great location from which to explore the coastline - Gallipoli, Otranto, Santa Maria di Leuca and only an hour from the beautiful city of Lecce which was well worth a day trip. Some great recommendations for places to eat from Antonio and places to visit.Antonio was always available for help or questions, but was also discreet and careful not to disturb. Very kind hosts and a truly beautiful place to stay for ten days.Grazie mille per tutti !"

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at La Roccia equaled our expectations! From the minute we walked in and met Arianna and Gabriella, we felt welcomed and were treated like family. The rooms are lovely, clean, and each one faces the beautiful waters that define Castro Marina. It was lovely being there just as the summer season is ending - there was plenty of room to enjoy the terraced patios with access to swimming and lazy afternoons in the sun. The restaurant is outstanding; we ate dinner there twice and enjoyed not only the outstanding array of menu items, but also the impeccable service of Lorenzo and Vanessa. We highly recommend La Roccia."
