Cottage holiday rentals in Apulia

Alessandro is the perfect host! We were overloaded with all kinds of attentions, not only on arrival, but throughout the stay. Nothing escapes his attention, and he would do the impossible to satisfy his guests. Recommend!

La dolce vita is what you will find at the "Casetta Segreta". A peaceful and relaxing environment. You will be enchanted by the charm of this region that pushes you to relax and contemplate. A very beautiful address, a responsive host who cares about your well-being and who offers you activities. Thank you Erika for introducing us to the "Panzerotti" (a real delight) and thank you to Flaviana for her kindness and smile. A very nice house easy to live in and love.

Our wish was to spend relaxing days in absolutely quiet and beautiful surroundings. And that's what we got. The house is in a secluded location, the journey there should be with an off-road vehicle (we knew that, no problem for us). The house (one bedroom with extremely comfortable bed, living room with smart TV, small fireplace, large, well equipped dining kitchen, nice bathroom with shower) is really great. The garden - completely fenced if you arrive with a dog like us - is beautiful and lovingly laid out. Grapes, mandarins, pomegranates, oranges, ancient olive trees - great. The house itself is located in an olive grove, from the terrace you have a breathtaking view of the sea. The hosts are wonderful, always available if you need them. The nearest village of Acquavella (etc!) is a 15-minute walk away, 4 minutes by car. Magnificent beaches nearby. Anytime again, we miss it already.

We had a really great stay at Manuela’s place. It’s furnished with a lot of love to detail - we felt right at home. Manuela’s recommendations were really helpful to get the most out of our stay - we got to cook a really nice meal with ingredients we bought from the local farmer’s market. The location is really nice as well, close to nature but also conveniently close to the city of Bari. Thank you for the great and welcoming experience!

The apartment is very spacious and very well equipped with a separate sleeping area. The pool was great, so we didn't need the beach outside the door ( full or private) or made trips to other beaches or towns. The other guests at the property were pleasant, friendly people we had fun with. We felt very comfortable in this beautiful, small oasis! The communication with Leyla was quick and uncomplicated.

Beautiful place this Maceria, beautiful architecture, well highlighted, very nice ceiling, beautiful pleasant space, nice welcome, friendly pool area.

Beautiful and evocative farmhouse immersed in greenery and peace. Our place was super clean and well-kept, with a unique atmosphere, furnished with taste and creativity. Many exclusive amenities such as the garden where you can pick very fresh vegetables and fruits, a very large pool that looks like seawater, artistic corners immersed in nature and the cats that welcome you and visit you often with discretion. Good hosts Paolo and Marsha, very kind, discreet and helpful people. The sea is not at your fingertips but the place pays off for its tranquility and beauty and the strategic proximity to all the beaches of the Marina di Melendugno even if you need to get around by car. Thank you for this unforgettable experience. Anna & Andrea

This was an absolutely fantastic place to relax. It was perfect location to explore the Salento region. The pool was incredible. The water quality of the swimming pool was excellent. We loved the pool lights at night. Kids really enjoyed the swimming at night. Tennis court and basketball court were incredible. I used the Sauna on a number of occasions and it was great. The shower in the Sauna room is fantastic. BBQ and outdoor dining area was incredible. Massimo provided some local pastries on 2 occasions . This place was perfect and will be the benchmark for future Air B N B stays.

We felt right at home at Sylvia's. The view is stunning and the house is much better than the photos! To top it all there were 3 cute dogs, 2 of them still puppies that just made our days! ;) we will definitely come back and recommend it to all our friends!

My wife and I had a good stay at the Villa Agapanto. Of the two buildings, we were in the one to the eastern side. The living and outdoor spaces were both as we had seen from the Airbnb post. It was equipped well enough, if a little basic in the cooking implements. We did hit a couple of small problems in the first day or two, but Federico was very good, and also proactive, in fixing these problems. We enjoyed the outside space. Even though we visited in early October, we had mostly sunny days, and welcomed the shade of the terrace cover above the outdoor dining table. We wanted rest and relaxation, and consequently did not visit very much. The villa worked very well for our purpose. Helpful hint for drivers. 9 out of 10 drivers ignore the speed limits entirely, and they ignore the no overtaking zones, which are almost everywhere on all the local roads. The speed limits on the signs are indeed ridiculously low, but we would have felt very uncomfortable exceeding them even so

The property is surrounded by nature, greenery, away from the streets and chaos of the city. The ideal place for those who escape the stress of the city and look for quiet places. It's also cool for those like us who fled the scorching heat of August. Antonio and his brother were very friendly, very polite and helpful. 100% recommended host... we'll be back.

Alessandro and James are 2 beautiful, super helpful and very kind hosts; they allowed us to check in in the morning, requested by us specifically as we have two dogs and they immediately made us feel at home. The apartment is very nice, there is everything as if you were at home and it is really characteristic! The gem is the terrace furnished in a shabby style, also equipped with a washing machine and wires for spreading. It is worth noting the steep stairs for which you only have to pay a little attention, but they are absolutely stylish. Alessandro and James' home is ideal if you want to fully experience the Apulian vibe.

Lovely peaceful place in a small "paese" Perfect place to relax and enjoy a slow life.

Absolutely Beautiful bungalow... Beautiful beach no 50m... Giuseppe and Silvana absolutely accommodating and professionals... A lot of garden and a lot of privacy... The beds are great for sleeping... You have everything you need... I also grilled every 2 days...😊😊😊 Highly recommend everything together...🤌🏻💯😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Andreina is a very nice and attentive host. The place exactly met our expectations and is ideally located for exploring the area and visiting the beautiful beaches. We highly recommend Andreina's cottage!

We loved our stay in this lovely house in Nardó. The interior, both inside and outside, is very modern and tasteful. It comes with a beautiful pool that's more than big enough and the environment is private and quiet. We felt very safe during our stay. There are a few friendly cats walking around in the garden at some points during the day, they made our stay even better. Giordano was very helpful and responsive, he even sent us a list of recommendations in the neighbourhood. There are a few shops/restaurants nearby within a 10-minute drive. Perfect location to explore Puglia and also rest and relax. We would definitely stay here again and hope to return soon.

Lovely stay at Lucrezia’s place - Lucrezia and Antonio greeted us on arrival and provided fresh produce from the farm and some bits for breakfast. The house was clean and perfectly as described. The pool area was fab. Was perfect base for us for a wedding nearby. Thank you!

Host Viviana very friendly,place very nice and house super clean,perfect for relax.inside and outside you have all indispensable for vacation. Highly recommended

We were warmly welcomed by Vincenzo and his wife. The space was very clean and as advertised. We were able to enjoy the beautiful viewpoint of the house when we woke up. Vincenzo took the time to show us his Trullo and answer all our questions ... and in French in addition! Thanks to them for hosting us.

Check in was very smooth. Paolo’s excellent communication with photos of the entrance made the self check-in super easy. Paolo’s cottage is stunning. Photos cannot do the views from the kitchen and balcony justice. The perfect place for a morning coffee. The kitchen is well equipped but small. Within a 30 second walk you are at a small rocky pier that you can swim from. Beware of sea urchins! Pioppi is a small, beautiful town with restaurants, bars and mini markets a short distance away. We chose not to rent a car and it was a mistake. The walk to Pioppi is 1km along the rocky shore which we found very difficult when carrying groceries in the heat or in the dark after dinner. With Paolo’s superb communication I cannot recommend his place enough. It was the perfect place for a quiet, relaxing, romantic holiday.

It is an elegantly renovated countryside oil mill, with care and use of Salento materials. Great place for 2/3 people with a huge outdoor space. Vernole is in a strategic location to visit all of Salento. The barbecue and washing machine are missing, but they are minimum limits that we have not rated compared to our beautiful vacation. Friendly, kind, thoughtful host.

Our week at Petra's Trulli Cinderella was an enchanting experience. Petra warmly welcomed us at the gate, where a lit candle created a lovely atmosphere. She had prepared a delicious calzone and left us a wonderful bottle of wine that we enjoyed so much we ended up visiting the winery to buy more! The trulli was beautifully decorated, cozy, and truly magical. Petra was always available to offer suggestions and answer our questions, making our stay feel personal and special. The stunning countryside surrounding the trulli added to the charm, and one of the highlights was biking along the nearby aqueduct cycle path, which provided breathtaking views. Overall, our stay was unforgettable, combining comfort, hospitality, and the beauty of Puglia in a way that we will cherish forever.

The place exactly matches the description, we had a great time, the place is a fairytale! Highly recommended for a vacation where you can enjoy an amazing sea, a perfect starting point to discover the wonders of Salento. We have personally only visited beaches nearby within a maximum of 20-30 minutes by car, all beautiful, plus of course the one below the house where we went every day. The square next to it is also beautiful, at sunset pure poetry.

We loved everything about our stay, proximity to the beach and all the outdoor areas to relax in and the rooftop for some morning yoga and an evening drink was sublime.
