10.0“A Place We'll Never Forget”
+What an idyllic week at Borgo Aratico. We stayed during a massive heatwave, but the villa was perfectly equipped, with air conditioning in every room, making it a welcome retreat from the sun. The pool was immaculate and cleaned every morning, and it was a joy watching the swallows skim across the water each day. The spa was another lovely touch, offering the perfect place to unwind while escaping the midday sun. The villa itself is beautiful, with huge bedrooms, spacious bathrooms, and plenty of room to unpack and truly settle in. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Knowing that Borgo Aratico was once Rosanna's grandparents' home makes it feel even more special. It has been lovingly restored and beautifully preserved, combining authentic charm with every modern comfort. Rosanna's family clearly take enormous pride in the property. They were often tending to the gardens, which were always immaculate. We loved picking fresh rosemary from the garden before enjoying long alfresco lunches and dinners together outside. We were staying as a large family for a wedding, so every room in the villa was occupied, and without exception everyone absolutely loved it. It was the perfec

10.0“Really enjoyed our stay at Borgo Aratico. Puglia is just stunning!!”
+A really wonderful villa in a nice peaceful, scenic location surrounded by beautiful Puglian countryside.
−It is quite remote, but with a car, wonderful beaches and towns are within very easy (and scenic) drives. Very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend for a family or group of friends holiday!

7.0“Could have been so much better of property was maintained.”
+Nice rural area near a small village with the best coffee on our trip. Great convenience store with fantastic bread and meats/cheeses. Very quiet setting.
−The photos didn’t depict the accomodation that we required for our family of 8 unfortunately. As the house was split into two settings, so we had to go between those spaces to get extra cutlery, crockery etc up & over the stairs. The lounge room was on top of the main bedroom & you could hear every noise that was made. The garden was messy, photos showed a well manicured garden. There was little wood left for our cooking in the outdoor area &it was hard to source. The steam room didn’t work at all. Very small kitchen not very practical. Hot water ran out after we had our spa. The 2 sharp knives were completely blunt. A disappointing stay, especially as we had travelled from Australia for a special family get together.

10.0“Gorgeous villa in a stunning location”
+We had an incredible week at this gorgeous villa, which exceeded all our expectations. The location was absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful fields and olive groves that provided the perfect picturesque backdrop for our holiday. The villa itself was amazing, offering a spacious swimming pool that everyone enjoyed. It had everything we needed, from a washing machine and dishwasher to two fridges, an outdoor fridge, and a barbecue setup. There were even two coffee machines, a microwave, and hairdryers in every bathroom. The lovely shampoos and body showers were a nice touch that made us feel pampered. Despite needing a car to get there, the location was fantastic. It was close to many attractions, like Alberobello, Locorotondo, Monopoli (just 20 minutes away), Ostuni (45 minutes), and Bari (one hour). We particularly enjoyed being only 10 minutes from a fantastic safari and zoo, which also had an entertainment park. There was a wonderful restaurant just 7 minutes away, and the paths around the villa were great for running. One of the best features was the spa, which was a wonderful addition, especially on the colder days when the pool was a bit too chilly. The villa’s four be
−There were a few things to be aware of, which didn’t spoil our experience but are good to know. The one bedroom with two single beds didn't have full blackout blinds, which was a bit challenging for our toddlers who need complete darkness to sleep. We had to rearrange the sleeping arrangements to accommodate this and ended up having to put a couple in that room. Additionally, something to be aware is that the pool was not heated and a bit too cold for our toddlers during our stay when the weather was cooler which was such a pity because the one time we manage to use it it was great!
