Familienurlaub
Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr schön, leider stört der ständige Autolärm der direkt am Haus vorbei führenden Schnellstraße. Die Spielgeräten für die Kinder im Garten sind leider sehr ungepflegt und teilweise defekt, sogar sehr gefährlich für die Kinder. Was uns aber wirklich sehr gestört hat sind die Bäder, leider konnten wir aufgrund starker Geruchsbelästigung ein Bad überhaupt nicht benutzen und bei zwei anderen Bädern kam nur sehr spärlich Wasser an der Dusche, ein angenehmes Duschen war leider nicht möglich. Auch waren die Fugen in der Duschen ziemlich verschimmelt und eine Toilette ist gar nicht richtig abgeflossen. Aber der Pool ist supertoll 👍, immer sauber und ordentlich gepflegt von Peppino. Die Villa ist auch sehr schön eingerichtet mit vielen alten Möbeln. Wenn die Bäder renoviert wären wäre das die perfekte Ferienvilla für unsere große Familie.

Beautiful property next to busy road
the house is lovely: lots of character, nice big kitchen and lots of bedrooms. Also the outdoor facilities are charming : big pool and beautiful garden. But the house is situated near a very busy SS-road, day and night traffic noise. The occupants of the bedrooms in the "tower"definitely needed earplugs to sleep.... Still we had a wonderful week, Mottola is a charming city with good and affordable restaurants.

Erholsamer Aufenthalt in einer alten Villa mit schönem Pool
Ältere Villa auf einem sehr großen Grundstück gelegen. Sanitär Anlagen sind in die Jahre gekommen. Aushängeschild der Villa ist mit Sicherheit der große Pool.

Charming Italian Experience
A really charming, family friendly home offering both indoor and outdoor comfort! The home was really well equipped to meet all our needs. The pool and shaded outdoor areas were the highlight for our family (the sunshine helped of course). Our family of 7 were very comfortable in this lovely home. The caretaker, Pepino was a gentleman and most helpful. We made day trips to Matera, Noci, Alberobello and our location was perfect for this. We would recommend highly.

House with the history
We spent one of the best holidays in our lives in this house. A house with history and a unique atmosphere, a large swimming pool and an even larger garden. Close to the surrounding towns (Taranto, Martina Franca, Alberobello). The lack of wine glasses, salt and pepper and dishwasher tablets could be a bit of a problem. The water in the pool is clean, but probably contains too many chemicals (goggles are recommended). You can hear the traffic, but it does not disturb your rest.

I currently live in Rome. The Villa is my holiday paradise

Why they chose this property

The property holds a lot of memories for the family. It has been used as a barn (1888), a house and for the relatively recent years (last 40 years) as holiday villa. All the gardens, pool area and house extensions have been constructed with a lot of care and devotion. We have transformed the arid landscape of the region into a small oasis. Many of the summer memories of the family rely on this beautiful piece of land. We hope our guest enjoy it as much as we hope to pass it on to our next generation of the Sansonetti family.

What makes this property unique

The house has a unusual architecture and a deep family history. The pool area and gardens have a very romantic setting. Many local brides and grooms have posed for their wedding pictures in our villa
