The location was really quiet, but still close enough to Cisternino. The stone floors throughout the villa were beautiful. The bathrooms both finished to a really high standard. The villa itself is a really good size and equipped with all the amenities you would need on a stay. Stefano and Mariagrazia had thought of pretty much everything you could need during your stay. The welcome hamper was a really treat with some typical Puglian Delicacies. The pool was a good size and was cleaned during the stay. There is a laundry room downstairs which meant I could bring back a suitcase of clean clothes.
Negative:
It would be perfect for a couple or a small family, but the second bedroom has a small double bed so could be a squeeze for two people.
The only TV was in the dining room, would be ideal to have this in the living room but not the end of the world.
Summary: A beautiful, peaceful villa in a fantastic location, with everything thoughtfully provided for a com

Firstly, Stefano and Mariagrazia were amazing hosts, we were very touched by their generosity. From meeting us to hand over the keys and show us around the villa, to the gifts for us but also for our daughters, they made our stay amazing. The villa is clean, spacious, air-con in each room, light, very peaceful, amazing pool, lovely grounds, everything works! Location is very close to various towns and beaches. We couldn't ask for anything more!
Negative:
Absolutely nothing!
Summary: Highly recommend, must stay!

Our stay at Stefano’s Villa was a wonderful experience for me and my family. I would give it 100/10 points !
The villa is fully equipped and beautifully, modernly furnished. It has a large swimming pool, a barbecue area, a laundry room, and a coffee machine — everything we needed for a truly comfortable stay. We felt completely at home, and having the pool exclusively for us from morning until evening was absolutely fantastic.
Stefano and Mariagrazia are wonderful people who welcomed us warmly and were always helpful and available whenever we needed anything. We arrived to find a fully stocked fridge and a basket filled with cookies, pasta, and delicious local treats. It was such a thoughtful and generous welcome!
They are incredibly kind, warm, and attentive hosts. If you are looking for a place to relax, enjoy peace and privacy, and truly experience the Italian “dolce far niente”, this is definitely the place.
We highly recommend Stefano’s Villa and would happily come back again! ❤️🇮🇹

We had a wonderful one-week stay at Stefano’s Villa and would happily return in the future.
The location is fantastic and one of the villa’s greatest strengths. It sits in the heart of the Valle d’Itria, making it easy to explore so many beautiful towns and villages. We enjoyed visiting Cisternino, Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Alberobello, and Ostuni, all of which are perfect for day trips or evenings out.
The villa itself has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is very well equipped, making it easy to cook meals at home, and we especially enjoyed using the BBQ and spending time outside by the pool. There are plenty of chairs, loungers, and comfortable outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Inside, the villa is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The two bedrooms have very comfortable beds and pillows, and the air conditioning worked perfectly during our stay. There are also several indoor and outdoor areas where you can comfortably sit, read, eat, or simply relax.
What truly makes this place special, however, are the hosts, Mariagrazia and Stefano. They welcomed us warmly upon arrival and personally said goodbye at the end of our stay. Throughout the week they were always available, responsive, and happy to help with recommendations for restaurants, shopping, and things to do in the area. Their hospitality made us feel genuinely cared for and at home.
Summary: We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and very grateful for such a lovely stay. Thank you, Mariagrazia and Stefano, for sh

We were a family of 4 with a 18 and 15 year old, 18 year old was on sofa bed and 15 year old had the room and both were very happy with this.
The Villa had everything we needed and Mariagrazia and Stefano left us some lovely local snacks that we all enjoyed and the fridge was well stocked.
It was a great location as a base to visit where we planned.
The villa was very clean and the pool was great!
We had an amazing Holiday and Mariagrazia and stefano were very attentive and was always on the other end of the phone if we needed anything.
We would definitely visit again if we’re ever back in Puglia.
Negative:
Nothing!
Summary: Fantastic stay!
