The ultimate relaxing holiday

David and Fran are the perfect hosts giving you as much or as little interaction as you wish. Their home is wonderful. We stayed in the self catering apartment and found everything we needed there. It has its own entrance and patio space so you have your own privacy. The pool is shared and can be used whenever you like. We’ve had lots of lazy days at the pool and we’ve had it all to ourselves or chilled out with other guests and enjoyed their company. Their garden is so peaceful it is a pleasure to relax there and swim or read a book. David and Fran are very helpful with booking restaurants, giving travel advice, directions - you name it! We’ve enjoyed our time there so much we’ve been back again! And that’s the best recommendation we can give!! Xx

Fantastic holiday, stunning property & pool

What a wonderful break at Casa Della Scrittrice. Every day we were greeted by beautiful sunny weather and our fantastic hosts, David & Francesco, who couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was a feast for the eyes, with fresh fruit and beautiful home-made cakes. The pool and grounds are magnificent and the location is perfect for the many beautiful surrounding Puglian white towns including Ostuni, Alberobello, Cisternino and Martina Franca. The rooms were perfect, being spotlessly clean and comfortable, and cool in the daytime heat. We will definitely visit again

Perfect place to relax and explore Puglia

Where to start? We had a good feeling about this place from the moment we heard that there would be a welcome pack awaiting after our journey. It got the holiday off to the right start to arrive to a fresh pasta supper with tomatoes from the garden and enough food to see us through the first 24 hours - wonderful. We were able to start relaxing, enjoy the beautiful private terrace and take a swim in the fantastic pool before heading into Ostuni. The apartment was perfect - spotless, comfortable, stylish and well-equipped. We really appreciated the effective mosquito netting, plug-in deterrent etc. There was a really good fan but most of the time we were beautifully cool behind the shutters. The bed was super-comfortable. As well as having use of the pool and lovely area around it, our own secluded terrace was idyllic. We loved eating outside, sheltered from the sun, amid pot plants, ornamental glass jars and cushions, surrounded by lavender, olive trees and the cacti that are everywhere in the landscape. Villa Scriticce is about ten minutes from Ostuni - great market and wonderful restaurants. We also loved nearby towns Cisternino, Martina Franco and Locorotundo. We were so glad we decided to visit Lecce (only an hour by car) - truly a beautiful city. We should also praise the excellent directions as the villa is tucked away well off the main road. David and Francesco were so welcoming and friendly. Whilst being able to do our own thing completely, at the same time it was great to chat with them and find out local places to visit. They have created a very special place to stay. We hope to return one day. Thank you!

A stunning place to stay. Great hosts. Highly recommended.

David & Fran’s Trullo home is a magical place to stay in the middle of an olive grove. There are so many treasures to feast your eyes on every where you look. The stylish boutique hotel standard rooms are cool despite the heat outside. They are beautifully decorated & on this visit we had a small kitchenette which had everything we needed & gave us a bit more freedom & choice. The pool is a gorgeous place to sit or swim & very welcoming after a day of sightseeing. David & Fran are a wealth of local knowledge & are great company & hosts. All in all, it was an absolute pleasure.

About the host

Hosted by David Capon

David and Francesco moved to Puglia in 2012 to get away from the hustle and bustle of London and start a new chapter in their lives.

David has many years of experience in hospitality and retail, most recently as part owner of the award-winning boutique ‘Black Truffle‘. Francesco has been a stylist, designer and fashion consultant in London and Rome and Paris

When David finally managed to coax Francesco to return to his native Italy, the two brought with them a unique flair for design, which is reflected in the decor at both Casa and Trullo della Scrittrice, beautifully complimenting both there existing charm.

Having worked with people from all over the world you can definitely be assured of a warm welcome from them and their two very friendly dogs Toby and Dita and cats, Maya, Lee and Ziggy.

Why they chose this property

We immediately fell in love with Puglia the moment we arrived and when we discovered Casa della Scrittrice we new it was the house for us.

In fact we loved it so much we also bought the ancient Trullo next door, 'Trullo della Scrittrice'.

It is also rented on this site as a self catering holiday destination for four people. its the perfect place for a family holiday or a group of friends who want to enjoy a break in the sun.

Just search property reference 8138068 on this site for more information.

Since buying Casa della Scrittrice we have extended it and opened it as an intimate bed and breakfast, of just two rooms; The Trullo and Pool Rooms, so others can also enjoy this beautiful region.

Last year we added 'La Pineta' as a more private self catering space for guest looking for a longer stay.

What makes this property unique

Situated in its own secluded olive grove and surrounded by a garden of native plants, it is an oasis away from the world. A magical place to come, relax and recharge your batteries away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
