Amazing old farmhouse with many modern updates. Kitchen was wonderful and we cooked at home every night. It was too cool for swimming but the pool was beautiful. Great communication and assistance if we needed it. Our only regret was not having more time to spend on the property,

A beautiful place to stay

The Masseria has been beautifully restored and is now a very comfortable property with a stunning pool and lovely garden. It is very well equipped and we loved staying there. The location is perfect for visiting Alberobello and other attractions. Darren, the property manager, was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended.

Slice of heaven

This was my fourth or fifth time staying in the Masseria, and each time it gets harder to leave. It is so peaceful and relaxing and everywhere you look is beauty. It has everything you need, and with 5 bedrooms and baths it is great for larger families. Definitely my favorite place in Italy! Can’t wait to be back!!

Lovely family hideaway

The property is lovely and has almost all you need. The GPS coordinates are essential to find the home. A little remote from shops and town so car is a must. Darren was fabulous and helped us a lot. No pool fence so be alert with young children. Otherwise recommended

Maravillosa casa y atención exquisita

La casa es excepcional en todos los sentidos. No hay sorpresas negativas, sino que todas son positivas. La construcción es histórica y está muy bien acondicionada y limpia. No le falta detalle para cumplir con todas las expectativas en tranquilidad y necesidades. Muy bien equipada, con menaje abundante y diverso para cocinar.La ubicación es perfecta para realizar una estancia tranquila en un entorno natural, pero a la vez está cerca de enclaves de interés. Es una buena base para descubrir la Puglia.Finalmente, Darren, su cuidador, nos dio muy buenos consejos y nos prestó una gran ayuda con nuestras dudas sobre el entorno.

Fantastic villa for a family holiday

We loved our stay at Masseria Casalicchio. Everything works in the villa and you immediately feel at home. The outdoor area is top class, especially the pool. The pool is good for both children and adults. The stairs in the pool is not slippery at all.

Eine Woche im Paradies ...

Wir verbrachten eine Woche im Juni mit einer befreundeten Familie in dieser wundervollen Unterkunft. Die Fotos im Inserat können die Weitläufigkeit des Hauses gar nicht genügend erfassen. Es ist super gepflegt, groß und liebevoll eingerichtet und es ist wirklich alles vorhanden, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt braucht. Der Garten und der Pool sind herausragend schön und gepflegt, nicht zuletzt, da Darren immer wieder nach dem Rechten schaut und sich sehr liebevoll um Haus und Gäste kümmert. Wir kommen gerne jederzeit wieder, dann aber für 2 Wochen :-) !

Excellent!

Beautiful property in lovely surroundings, with close proximity to lots of interesting places to visit. Particularly enjoyed all the outdoor space, including the pool (shallow end great for small children). Daz, the caretaker, was also extremely helpful providing lots of guidance on the property and the area. Thank you!

A stunning property

We’ve had the most amazing holiday in this beautiful restored villa, plenty of space for 6 adults, 3 children, everything is top quality and so tastefully decorated. The setting in the olive and cherry groves is so peaceful but near to Conversano , a lovely town with excellent restaurants. Lots to do, but hard to drag yourself away from the excellent pool. Darren is on hand to help in any way . A great holiday .

Apulien im Herbst

Wir waren drei Paare in diesem wunderschönen alten Bauernhaus. Zu sechst hatten wir natürlich sehr viel Platz und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet, die Küche lässt keine Wünsche offen und es war überall sehr sauber. Die Terasse und den großen Pool konnten wir auch Mitte Oktober noch sehr gut nutzen, nur am Abend wurde es schon recht kühl. Besonders angenehm war die Kommunikation mit Darren, dem Hausverwalter, der auf all unsere Fragen immer sehr schnell geantwortet hat. Er war uns eine große Hilfe. Auch das Ein- und auschecken lief reibungslos. Das ganze hat unsere Woche in Apulien sehr angenehm gemacht. Many thanks to Darren!! Klaus and Friends

Villa mit Flair

Das Haus hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Es wurde sehr hochwertig renoviert und ausgestattet mit vielen durchdachten Details. Ein sehr schön angelegter Garten und der riesige Pool laden zum Verweilen ein... wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen, und haben uns von Darren (housekeeper) bestens betreut gefühlt. Gratulation an die Besitzer, die diese ehemalige Ruine wieder zum Leben erweckt haben - wir kommen gerne wieder ;-) Ciao

Meget pænt og velholdt!

Booking: Professionel, præcis og hurtig kommunikation med ejer/udlejer. På stedet: Professionel, præcis og hurtig kommunikation med "Caretaker" Darren. Alt fungerede og der var pænt, rent og meget velholdt. En dejlig stor og ren pool i en dejlig have med et velfungerende spiseområde der dannede rammen om mange hyggelige timer. Beskrivelse/billeder på VRBO er præcis og dækkende. Således blev vores forventninger 100% indfriet. Vi kan varmt anbefale Masseria Casalicchio som et dejligt udgangspunkt for en ferie i Puglien.

Traumhaftes Haus, Erholung garantiert

Wir haben eine wunderbare Woche in dieser liebevoll restaurierten Masseria verbracht! Das Haus ist riesig und sehr komfortabel und großzügig eingerichtet. Es fehlte hier wirklich an nichts. Hervorzuheben ist, dass die Matratzen sehr bequem sind und wir alle super erholt geschlafen haben. Die meiste Zeit haben wir im Aussenbereich verbracht. Dieser ist einfach nur ein Traum - der große Holztisch, umringt von Obstbäumen, Rosmarin und Oleander, der riesige Pool, der durch die Abstufungen super auch für unsere kleinen (1 jährigen) Kinder geeignet war, die Dachterrasse, von der man den schönsten Sonnenuntergang genießen konnte. Die idyllische Lage des Hauses zwischen Olivenhainen und Traubenplantagen war super als Ausgangspunkt für unsere Ausflüge. Innerhalb von 30 Minuten kann man sowohl schöne Strände, als auch die sehenswerten UNESCO Kulturerbe Stadt Alberobello, Polignano oder auch Monopoli sehr gut erreichen. Der Kontakt zu Darren, dem Housekeeper, war reibungslos und einwandfrei. Er und seine Frau waren sehr herzlich und bemüht um uns und gaben uns super Tipps. Sie bieten auch einen Kulinarischen Abend an, an dem man von beiden mit allerlei apulianischen Spezialitäten bekocht wird. Dies ist wirklich sehr zu Empfehlen! Danke nochmal an Darren und Donatella!
