+The house and outdoor area was beautiful and a great base to retire back to for some chill-out time after a day out in the heat. Vito was an extremely attentive, courteous host who was very responsive to our needs throughout our stay.

+Excellent place to stay for a family (3 separated bedrooms so everyone has its own privacy). We travelled at the end of October and still had lovely experience (empty beaches, pleasant temperatures, only few tourists on major sights, still could make use of the garden in the evening - has a lovely fireplace and you can use air conditioning to heat the bedroom on colder evenings. The morning coffees in the rising sun under the old olive trees were unforgettable. The villa is conveniently located - close to Monopoli - we had many charming evening strolls and just up to 30-60 mins from UNESCO sites, beautiful masserias and other picturesque medieval towns. The patio and the garden have special charm and very relaxed vibe. Virginia and Vito made sure we were welcomed with a proper Puglian hospitality and a selection of the best bites the region and the season offered. That really made our day after coming tired and hungry from the airport:-). Their tips for what to visit and where to eat were also very helpful. The villa was spotlessly clean and had nice features for kids, so extra bonus for that. Thank you Virginia and Vito for your hospitality!
−No negative experience whatsoever, but maybe suggestion for other travelers. Mosquitoes seem to appear every now and then and it is good to be prepared for their visit (repellents were provided). As with many other southern regions, it is recommended to use bottled water (the initial supply was provided by the host). A car is a must. We missed a few kitchen utensils (e.g. tea pot, bigger water glasses, peeler, greater, better cork screw) but still could well do with what was provided.

“A perfect stay with warm hosts, a beautiful house, and the ideal location to enjoy Puglia.”
+The warm and personal hospitality of Vito & Virginia - they went above and beyond, from the welcome tapas and wine to checking in during your stay. The house itself - spacious, well-equipped, private, with airco everywhere. The outdoor areas - pool, BBQ, lounge, and especially the view of the castle at sunset. The location - walking distance to the Adriatic Sea and close to Monopoli’s historic centre.
−In August you must like the heat :) but the good thing was, when the sun goes down, the temperature drops firmly making it nice and good enough to stroll around.

+We loved the peaceful setting. The privacy and the many little places to hang out as well as the choice of decor
−The strip nearby was great for beach choices but too far from monopolie to go walking and the side walks not ideal for joggers

+The villa is easy to reach, and the hosts welcomed us and pleasantly surprised us with a platter of local products and a bottle of wine. The house is very nice, with a large yard, plenty of space for the children to play, a designated barbecue area, and several relaxation zones. It’s clean and tidy - a quiet and very pleasant place. I definitely recommend it, especially for families with children.
−The air conditioner in the single room has a technical issue and is extremely noisy. Although this malfunction was reported after the first night, no measures were taken by the end of our stay, which was for 5 nights. Тhe hot water boiler is only 30 liters, which is not sufficient for a family with children. An alternative is highly recommended.

“Fantastic house, close by the ocean with amazing hosts!”
+The hosts were absolutely amazing - they were super friendly and even provided a small gift for my children. They ensured we had staples in the home since we arrived after supermarkets already closed. The property itself has a lot of outside space and plenty of seating and comfort items like a hammock. Highly recommended!
−Nothing to be honest.

“What truly made the experience unforgettable were our hosts, Vito and Virginia. Without exaggeration, they are the best”
+We had the most wonderful stay at Pugliamandia, a true gem nestled in the heart of Apulia, just 40 minutes from Bari Airport and very close to the charming town of Monopoli. The house is elegantly and tastefully decorated, with every detail thoughtfully curated. It had everything we needed for a perfect, relaxing stay. Surrounded by beautiful olive groves, the property offers a peaceful atmosphere with a lovely garden and a heated swimming pool , ideal for enjoying the serene countryside. We were warmly welcomed with delicious local appetizers and a bottle of wine, which instantly made us feel at home. We also loved using the BBQ and having outdoor meals in the calm and beautiful garden. According to them, the best time to visit is early summer and autumn, when the weather is perfect and the region is at its most beautiful. If you’re looking for a stylish, peaceful, and authentic Apulian experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend Pugliamandia.
