Puglia is described as the heel on Italy's boot; it is bordered by two Seas the Adriatic to the East and the Ionion to the South. Little is known of this real Italy for tourists and as such you will truly experience the friendliness of its people and sample the organic richness of its home grown products.
Puglia is renowned for its regional wine, olives and pasta. Temperatures average in July and August at around thirty two degrees and only a little less in June and September. April and May can be like warm summer days in the UK. We visited Puglia in October 2008 sporting shorts and t/shirts only to find locals in sweaters and coats - the locals must think the stranieri (foreigners) are mad!!
Google knowitall.com/weather/puglia for up to date weather information.
With sunshine most of the year and olive groves stretching along the coastline, it is tantalizing to see the different seasons in play. You will never tire of the area for want of more places to visit and things to do.
We will provide you with a visitor’s guide to Puglia outlining all the tours and attractions you might like to visit; even setting out a daily schedule of tours to follow!!

We can tell you of our favorite beaches and restaurants so that you get the most from your holiday.

All your shopping requirements can be found in this town so you don't have to go far from the villa.

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND - WILL BE BACK
We stayed at Villa Katia-Rosa in July and had such a fabulous time. We always worry about air conditioning when the weather is so hot as we have to go in school holidays and this villa had air con throughout, but it was great to be able to leave the windows open for a natural breeze to waft in to the bedrooms when our kids were having their siestas in an afternoon you really do need the insect screens in the villa- the shutters allow you to snooze ( husband very appreciative-great beds!) even when the temperature is soaring outside. The pool was really luxurious we couldn't believe that we had it all to our self. It was great to have evening dips using the lights on the terraces and in the pool. We made good use of the pool and terrace areas for our evening barbeques. It really has home from home. DVD's, Playstation, Fims, Books, Games and Music were really welcomed. We added a few to your collection as a thank you. We used the Sat-Nav a great after thought, as we wouldn't have known about some of the places to visit. We loved going to the Zoo Safari and the theme park was really very cheap for a family day out. We visited the caves you recommended in Castro, with the cliffside pool and boat trip. The restaurants located overlooking the sea was such a georgeous setting. Great market days which we could have easily missed and found the restaurants suggested- loved Spillusi's antipasta's to die for I think I counted 16 dishes!! and so cheap; the Sat-Nav even took us to us to a local vineyard where we bought wine for next to nothing. The information in your villa folder really helped us organise our days. Puglia really is much cheaper than our trip in Tuscany last year. We love Italy and this is the real deal. We still l have loads to see and will take you advice about coming again out of season when the weather isn't so hot for touring the area properly. A charming villa, you have thought of everything and we will happily recommend to family and friends.
Excellent Value
Returning to the very same area of Puglia for the second year running, we were delighted with the villa and its excellent amenities. Unlike previous villa properties, superb shady areas were provided under the trees very close to the pool area. This provided us with a major benefit when a little shade from the wall to wall sunshine was called for!
The owner's local agent, Michael, (from Northern Ireland) lived locally and was only a phone call away should we ever require his help or attention. He was always happy to provide us with full visitor information applicable to the area and had excellent personal contacts were they ever to be required. (Dentist/Doctor etc). An excellent fortnight's holiday and we would certainly recommend this villa.
Fantastic hidden gem
We stayed for one week end of may, villa very private but close enough to town to be able to shop and browse with market on Monday's great little coffee shops to sit and watch the world go by.villa has all facilities we needed and many which would be great for families fab pool very clean. Owners have caretaker who lives local these were extremely helpful it was our first visit to this area but would defiantly recommend for out of season break if you don't like it too hot. However there is air conditioning at villa should you need it. Car is required but owners thoughtfully have left a stat nav which they have pre loaded with most places you may wish to visit. We found some great places which we would have missed without this (great idear by owners). Villa is clean very comfortable with everything you need for a great stay Home away from home. Would highly recommend
Wonderful part of the countryside!
What a wonderful part of the countryside. Everything was perfect and comfortable in the villa. The kids couldn't believe they had use of the private pool and loved the in house entertainment. My sister and I loved the shaded terraces and surroundings. We made good use of the pre-loaded Sat-Nav for daily excursions your villa was perfectly located to do so.Michael was so thoughtful, we felt secure knowing he could be contacted at anytime and he took good care of the pool. Plenty of sunshine, good food and wine at such reasonable prices. Thank you for everything you without doubt have our recommendation.
Perfect
The Villa was perfectly adequate and the pool great. Michael was very attentative dropping in most days to help us get the best of our stay, he drove us over to a local vineyard where we bought some excellent wine. A few great trips around the region, the weather was great everyday. All in all we had a very enjoyable time in Puglia and would certainly reccomend.
Great stay
Had a great stay at your villa. People are so friendly it is a different side of Italy than we'd seen before and prices so reasonable. Michael is a great guy thank him from us. We will certainly be back.
The best pool
We've stayed in many villas in italy, France &Spain it is the best we have stayed in.We were delighted with the pool, undoubtedly the best pool we've had sole enjoyment of. The air-con in every room and mosquito screens even in the warmest weather made the villa so comfortable. In Michael you have a superb host.We rarely visit an area for a 2nd time but we will seriously concider visiting again.
Lovely week
We had a lovely week in your beautiful house. The pool and accommodation was perfect. Michael was so helpful and friendly. The welcome pack was most appreciated and the Sat-Nav a brilliant idea.
