la favorita holiday house

We’ve returned to this part of Puglia and loved it all over again. It’s a peaceful spot in beautiful surroundings, with a pool shared by the three apartments. The hosts are wonderful.

We spent two weeks here in July 2025, with the whole property to ourselves. Set among olive trees, it has a spotless pool with loungers and a barbecue area, and the owners even invited us to a lovely family pizza gathering. It’s a quiet, private place with a real Italian, family feel. Our apartment had comfortable beds, a coffee machine, and effective air conditioning. The decor is simple, with no frills, but everything was very clean. There was no dishwasher and we were short a few kitchen utensils, though we managed to cook for ourselves without trouble. There are dogs, cats, horses, and goats for the children, too. We highly recommend it.

We liked how calm and relaxing the property was, and the owners were very friendly and ready to help. There are just three apartments, with room for up to 18 people, and we never saw that many guests together during our stay. Our child especially loved visiting the cats, dogs, horses, and goats. The pool is lovely, just as it looks in the photos. The apartments have a bedroom, a double room, and a living area with a kitchenette and sofa bed. There’s a TV in every room, and a washing machine in the bathroom. No dishwasher in the kitchen, but that didn’t bother us much. The flies were a bit annoying, though that’s normal with animals around. It’s close to the sea and several interesting towns. We especially enjoyed Ceglie Messapica, which was a nice surprise and much less crowded than Ostuni, with hardly any tourists. Ostuni is worth seeing as well. A great place for families, and we’d gladly come back.

The managers were so welcoming and friendly, and we’d definitely return. Our apartment was spacious and clean, set among olive trees. There’s a lovely pool and a terrace with a pizza oven.
