Seaside villa with private pool & gardens. 25 mins from airport, Free WiF

Villa Nicola is just wonderful. The villa is fully equipped to a very high standard and has everything you could need. The pool and outside area are just outstanding...huge pool, lovely seating area with table and chairs that is shaded, fabulous wooden sun beds with wheels that are easy to move and a wonderful paved seating area in a particularly sunny corner that we understand was done for a long standing repeat visitor that loved to sit in this corner! That gesture sums up everything that the owners are about. They work so hard to ensure their villas are spot on, the quality and detail is just second to none and nothing is too much trouble for them. You can email them with all sorts of questions and they always reply by return. The welcome basket they provide is amazing...everything you need for the first couple of meals including milk, tea, coffee, bread, butter,eggs, ham, cheese, pasta, cereals, cakes, biscuits, beer, wine., fruit ...and more! Fantastic. You can settle in without worrying where the nearest supermarket is etc. They also ensure there are basics like olive oil and salt and pepper and loo rolls and kitchen rolls....all the things you usually have to go and buy immediately when you arrive. They really do try and think of everything and if they have missed something, just tell them and it will be sorted! We stayed in another Place in Puglia villa last year in a bigger group and we were just astonished by the quality of everything and the hands on service that they provide because they are so close by and involved in the whole process. We wouldn't consider staying with anyone else if we visit this part of Italy again. Keep up the brilliant work Richard and Noirin

Great, well appointed and well maintained villa. Welcome basket on arrival much appreciated. Air conditioning and fans a big bonus. Commanding views down to the coast from the roof terrace and balcony. Close to local supermarket, bakery and butchers. Kids played football with the local kids at the piazza beside the beach most evenings. Good local pizzerias for nights out. Nearby ATM machines in the town of Torchiorolo at the Bank and at the Poste Italiane. Owners were really helpful and sourced a mechanic when we had a flat tyre. Highly recommended and we're going back next year.

Very good location near a fine beach and food stores and a bit further, you find fields of olive trees, perfect for a run

Comfortable house very well equipped

The garden is perfect to have breakfast and dinner

The pool is very enjoyable

Richard, the owner, is really friendly

We had a great time

We where a party of five two who where only staying for a weekend Friday to Monday, the other three stayed the week. We traveled from Dublin on A Ryan Air flight to Bari direct. Ryan Air fly from Dublin on Friday and Mondays. As we where not driving we had a pick up at the airport to bring us to Alberobello where we where going to stay over night in a Trulli house. Saturday morning we had a pick up to bring us to Lendinuso the area where Villa Nicola is, drive time from Alberobello 1hour 10 minuets. On our arrival we where met by Richard who explained every thing to us in detail very clearly, how to work the TV, air condition , keys for the doors, out side gate etc. Richard also specks Italian as well as English. There was a very well stocked welcome basket with all the basic to get you stared which excluded the following in the fridge, butter, milk, eggs, orange juice, yogurts , cheese, ham, beers, in the basket was a bottle of wine, pasta, sauce etc. All towels are provided for use. There are two bed rooms the master bedroom had a big double bed and two single beds the second bed room has a double bed. There is a shower and toilet with another toilet out side a the pool. Large pool quite deep at one end which would befit from some kind of marking for safety reasons. On the Sunday my sister had arranged with Richard to have a man come in to cook us a BBQ at the pool side which was beautiful. There is a lovely bakery, butcher, supermarket and small cafe bar. This area is idel if you need toget away from every thing and have lazy days by the pool, or if it is not to breezy lazy days on the beach. The locals are lovely people. A car is essential to drive to other areas .

Over all the Villa is beautiful very well maintained and safe. Richard and Noirin are perfect hosts to their guests and will answer any questions , give advice and assistance where needed. Drive back to Bari airport from Lendinuso takes 1 hour 30 minuets.

Quel bonheur de se prélasser au bord de la piscine en écoutant les cigales. C'était notre 3e séjour dans cette agréable petite maison confortable. Tous les matins, le boulanger et la petite marchande de fruits et légumes nous régalent de leurs produits locaux et spécialités. Richard et Noirin sont accueillants et font tout leur possible pour rendre notre séjour inoubliable.
