Everything was very straightforward and Ian was so helpful. The pool is absolutely amazing. We visited Ostuni and Lecce and we are now moving onto Cisternino.
Superbe villa, piscine exceptionnelle et très bon accueil !
Nous avons énormément appréciés cette villa : spacieuse, au calme, sans vis à vis et très confortable et bien équipée, avec 3 chambres bien climatisées.
Et particulièrement la très grande piscine, la plus grande et belle piscine rencontrée en 30 ans de locations.
Et puis des abords variés permettant de s'allonger au soleil ou à l'ombre, ou bien de s'initier au mini golf ;-)
Enfin, mention spéciale à l'accueil de Ian plein d'attentions et de gentillesse. Merci aussi pour la réservation du restaurant pour notre premier déjeuner dans la région.
Et le frigo plein de boissons et victuailles à notre arrivée ! Et puis d'autres surprises.
Merci
Super accueil avec pizzas et boissons fraîches. Hôtes toujours à l'écoute.
Villa hyper confortable, très propre et fonctionnelle.
Mention spéciale pour l'extérieur de rêve avec une immense piscine et plusieurs jeux (ping-pong, baby-foot, mini-golf,...). Illuminations magnifiques la nuit.
La région offre des sites superbes à visiter (Ostuni, Alberobello, Polignano, Otrante, Matera,...) même s'il faut parfois rouler un peu.
Bref, en résumé, villa de rêve pour un séjour bien agréable.

De villa ligt op een groot grondstuk met veel olijfbomen, vijgenbomen en pruimenbomen. Het zwembad is echt groot, inclusief verlichting in diverse kleuren (op afstand in te stellen). De villa, de veranda, de omgeving van de villa en het zwembad: alles in perfecte staat en schoon! We werden zeer gastvrij ontvangen door Ian met heerlijke lekkernijen! Ook tijdens ons verblijf was Ian onze steun en toeverlaat als we vragen hadden! Hij reageerde snel op onze app'jes en deed al het mogelijke het naar je zin te maken. Heerlijk gebruik gemaakt van de tafeltennistafel en bij het bijgebouw van het tafelvoetbal. De work-out (hometrainer en loopband) hebben we maar niet gebruikt: het was al warm genoeg! Bij vertrek waren we enkele sleutels vergeten. Geen probleem voor Ian. Nadat hij ons op de hoogte had gesteld van de vondst (wij hadden nog niets gemerkt) heeft Ian ervoor gezorgd dat de sleutels netjes via een koeriersdienst bij ons thuis werden bezorgd. Van vergoeding van de kosten wilde Ian niet weten ("no worries"). We hebben GENOTEN!!!!! We komen zeker terug!

Our experience at Villa Peppe was perfect respect to our expectations.
It’s recommended to people that are searching for quiet and all the main comforts.
The swimming pool is really clean and well managed.

We (Family with 3 kids in the age of 4,6 and 10) recently spent 2 weeks in villa Pepe and we had a fantastic time. We liked the house, the location and the variety of amenities very much. Ian was a great host, always reachable and responsive. Of course the pool was the highlight for the kids and we overall had a great time. We’ll definitely consider Vila Pepe again when we are in the region. Puglia as such is a lovely area with many highlights and Vila Pepe is located strategically well. Once again many thanks to the local team! Rudi
Everything with Villa Peppe is as good or better than the brochure states.
Booking was straightforward with Ian providing quick, friendly and helpful comms all the way through.
Check-in was as agreed, no fuss but with a detailed tour of the house and outdoors and always available re any subsequent questions. The owner Giuseppe and his family provided some great touches such as magnificent platters of sandwiches and pizza for our arrival and coffee and pastries on our departure date.
Well maintained pool and surround, large with great after dark light system.
Great Weber BBQ and pizza oven (lots of bone dry olive tree wood available) plus oven, hob, microwave inside a very well equipped kitchen.
Front and back dining areas both large and well shaded.
Bedrooms are spacious and well equipped as is the entire interior.
Aircon in living area plus all 3 bedrooms - functions well.
30 mins from Brindisi, 60 from Bari and in easy reach of beaches and the historic towns of the Itrea Valley and further south.
We all agreed that this is a place we would like to return to.

Stunning villa in a quiet location, with everything for a perfect holiday.
We were a party of 2 couples with 2 teenage boys in tow. This villa provided superbly for all of us. We were given a warm welcome & tour by Ian, and had been left one of the best welcome packs we have ever had - including a tray of sandwiches and selection of Italian breads. Each of the 3 bathrooms had soap, shampoo & shower gel provided. Inside the villa was beautifully clean, well decorated & very well provisioned and included free WiFi. BUT it is the outside of this villa that made for such a wonderful holiday. The front terrace gives sunshine in the morning for breakfast with a view of the pool, and the rear outside kitchen & dining space was perfect for BBQs and pizza in the evening. The pool area is exceptional, lovely large pool, plenty of sunbeds and choice of full sun or shaded areas throughout the day, complete with poolside shower & loo facilities. Guiseppe visited regularly early in the mornings to carry out maintenance & keep the pool clean. He and Ian were perfect hosts, always on hand to help with any queries or problems. When we had a water and electricity issue on the second day, Ian was easy to contact & Guiseppe arrived 15 minutes later to resolve the problem. The villa is in quite a quiet, secluded area but is within easy access of 2 towns for shopping & restaurants. It was also very convenient for getting to all the areas of interest in this part of Puglia. A car is essential. Overall, an absolutely lovely, relaxing holiday; we chilled out very quickly and stayed that way till having to come home! Would certainly have this villa top of our list if we were to return to the area. A big thank you to Ian, Guiseppe & his family.

Maison très agréable et confortable pour passer d'excellentes vacances au calme
Extérieurs aménagés avec du goût, terrain spacieux, coin de piscine de rêve ou l'on peut écouter de la musique, douches, WC extérieur.
Nous pouvons profiter de la piscine la nuit car les éclairages sont superbes. Nous avons apprécié les tournois de ping pong, les parties de baby foot, et de fléchettes et le four à pizza.
Tout y est pour passer de superbes vacances. Ostuni est une ville qui vaut vraiment le détour et se trouve à une dizaine de kilomètres de la villa. L'accueil est très chaleureux, attentionné et disponible. En résumé, nous y retournerions volontiers.

Fint hus med alt man trenger. Rolig beliggenhet med stort og flott bassengområde.
Vi hadde 2 og ei halv uke på denne flotte ferieeiendommen. Alt fungerte utmerket fra vi kom til vi dro. Hyggelige og imøtekommende folk som ønsket oss velkommen med masse mat og drikke som gjorde at vi bare kunne nyte stedet de første par dagene uten å tenke på handling. Huset er utstyrt med alt man trenger og både wifi og aircondition fungerte bra. Bassenget er stort og flott og ble rengjort om morgenene før vi stod opp. Huset ligger sentralt i forhold til mange flotte steder å besøke. Vi fikk med oss steder som Alberobello, Ostuni, Martina Franca, Monopoli, Polignano a Mare, Taranto, Locorotondo i tillegg til de to nærmeste byene Carovigno og San Vito dei Normanni hvor vi også fikk med oss en flott festival med mye liv og lysshow.
Pizzaovnen ble ivrig brukt og vi brukte den også til å bake kake en dag.
Tomten er full av frukttrær som vi kunne forsyne oss av.
Vi har hatt en flott ferie i et spennende område. Dersom du er klar for en ferie i det autentiske Puglia, du ikke er redd for å måtte bruke bil for å fylle kjøleskapet (13 minutter unna et stort og bra supermarked) så er dette et flott sted å være! Vi kan virkelig anbefale både hus, uteområde og region!

Great villa with a 15 meter pool
Really good villa very private in the countryside but near to supermarkets and Ostuni. Several good restaurants nearby including 3 with a Michelin star. We enjoyed the table tennis table football and pizza oven.
The owners were very helpful and we had no problems with any of the facilities.
Would definitely recommend this villa especially for the 15meter pool which is unusually large for a 3 bed villa.

Gorgeous
This was our second time at Villa Peppe- in 30 years of villa holidays this is the first time we have ever returned to the same place
The villa is very comfortable and the air-con much appreciated. The pool is big and maintained daily.
As we don't speak Italian Ian was our main contact and was always helpful, including tracking down a sports massage!
The setting is quiet but within easy reach of several little towns with a huge number of bars and restaurants.
Highly recommended.
We could well be back next year...

Exactly as described...perfect!
Ian & Giuseppe were the perfect hosts...nothing was too much trouble and any issues encountered were sorted out very quickly.
The villa is exactly as it is described...well thought out, spacious, with good quality fixtures & fittings used throughout...we particularly liked the reclining chairs in the lounge area!
The pool in particular was the main focus of our stay and it was great...our teenage children (and us) enjoyed the ability of being able to connect our music (via our mobile phones) to the speakers by the pool...enabling everyone to sunbathe to music.
We particularly liked the Guest booklet that Ian & Giuseppe had put together and gave very good local information and maps, ranging from the best beaches to visit to local supermarkets to suggested day's out to best restaurants...we would recommend eating at the 'IL Volcano' restaurant in nearby San Vito Dei Normanni...well worth the several visits we made during our stay!!
When we did stay in...the kitchen facilities were great and eating outside made it even more thoroughly enjoyable...the only down side was that we didn't use the outside pizza oven...maybe next year!
The villa's location ensured that whole holiday was relaxing and peaceful...exactly why we booked it!
We would fully recommend the Villa if you are looking for a quality property in a quiet location...but within easy reach for whatever you want to do!
We will certainly be looking to book again next year.

Super vacanza
Con la mia famiglia, siamo stati in questa bellissima villa nel mese di Settembre per passare la nostra prima vacanza in Puglia, ed è stata una delle più belle vacanze trascorse in Italia. La villa si trova a soli 8 chilometri da Ostuni e 6 da Carovigno, ottima base di partenza per visitare al meglio questo splendido territorio del Sud. La prima impressione appena arrivati è stata di sublime meraviglia, in quanto non pensavamo di trovare un posto cosi perfetto per passare le nostre giornate, sembra una perla incastonata nella rossa terra e nel verde degli ulivi secolari. La villa e dispone di 3 ampie camere da letto, doppi servizi ( indispensabili se ci sono bambini), un grande soggiorno con cucina attrezzata di ogni comfort , vogliamo parlare della piscina " incantevole" con acqua sempre limpida e pulita , dispone inoltre di impianto stereo per ascoltare la musica durante i bagni. Insomma le fotografie sono assolutamente veritiere, ha dimenticavo!! il forno a legna è semplicemente fantastico, in conclusione raccomando vivamente questa villa a tutti coloro che vogliono il meglio.

A superb villa with fabulous pool
The villa was spotless with everything you need provided for,the pool outstanding and the location peaceful but close to amenities ...in short 10/10. A warm and informative welcome with help on hand should you need it during your stay and an excellent base for visiting everything Puglia has to offer.Only downside to our visit was that 2 weeks passed too quickly !

Super holiday
We have been to puglia several times and last year was by far the best.We have stayed in trulli before ,which we enjoyed but find after a week the small living space starts to get a bit claustraphobic.
So last year we chose villa pepe .
The villa was everything we expected and more, lots of space, everything new and working. The photos really don't do it justice.It was only half an hour drive from brindisi airport and very close to many local towns such as Ostuni, Carovigno and Ceglie where we ate at many fabulous restaurants at very reasonable prices.
The nights we stayed in we had a great time, especially the kids making pizzas at the villas pizza oven. We cheated a little and bought the dough at the local supermarket - we were on holidays after all !
The villa was spotless and had everything we needed. The swimming pool was massive and the kids played all day long in it, which really made the holiday.
Ian made us feel at home and was very knowledgeable of the local area, with lots of suggestions for days and nights out .
I would heartily recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday in this beautiful part of Italy.
