Firstly, thank you for your help in managing all the changes we made to the bookings due to COVID, and also for recommending Villa Zitetta.
We had a really great time. And yes, the Rally was a special experience, even though it made the entry to Zitetta a bit difficult – mainly for Maria Elena and Filomena.
They were both great – and the lasagne that Filomena made for us on the first night was amazing. They were a dream team looking after us.
Generally it was very quiet in that part of Puglia – with very few tourists – which made it a great experience. Maria Elena and Filomena were both very responsive and looked after us well.
We had no difficulties at all because of COVID – the travelling was fine, and restaurants were open.
Thank you again.
With kind regards,
Guy and Nicky

We had a fantastic week at the villa. From the time of booking all the way to our departure we were well taken care of by Ville in Italia.
From Massimiliano in the office, our local host and the care taker, everyone was most kind, attentive and provided excellent customer service. When we complained about the hard mattresses, they all went above and beyond to make our stay more comfortable by immediately delivering mattress toppers. They were always just a text message away, providing information or helping with restaurant reservations.
The villa is beautiful and modern, clearly showing the creative eye of the owners. The pictures are very accurate, however it wasn’t clear to us that the lower level doesn’t have direct, inside access to the main level of the house. It is connected through an outdoor staircase. It turned out fine for our needs, but it might be an issue for some guests.
The villa is very well equipped with everything you may need and if you’re planning to cook the kitchen won’t disappoint. Although small it includes every size of pot or pan, plenty of plates, glassware, cutlery and everything else you may need.
Ville in Italia also get you started with a “gift basket” that goes way beyond that. It had everything you may need for the first dinner and first breakfast so you don’t have to rush to the store as soon as you put your suitcase down.
Overall it was a great experience and we’d love to book with Ville in Italia again.

We stayed at Villa Zitetta in June 2020 and had a wonderful time. The house and the gardens are well appointed, and we enjoyed our al fresco dinners. We had beautiful views of the seas, which we were able to access in just a few minutes. The house is conveniently located near cafes and restaurants with beautiful views. We would highly recommend this for a family vacation.

We had a wonderful time at Villa Zitetta. The villa is beautifully designed, very modern and comfortable, with everything you need for it to feel like a home away from home. The kitchen is so well-equipped that it is a pleasure to cook in and there was a good supply of kitchen essentials supplied (salt, coffee, oil, pasta etc) which was a really great touch. It was perfect for family meals on the terrace.
Filomena cooked us a beautiful meal, which we would highly recommend - and there were lots of leftovers too, which were great for the next day. Filomena also kept the house spotlessly clean. And Carmen was so helpful with local knowledge and recommendations.
The local area is beautiful. We would recommend walking down the rocky path to the village, heading to the natural swimming pool, and driving further afield to Gallipoli for a day out.
We would highly recommend the villa. We had a wonderful time !
Many thanks, Clare

This was our first time in Puglia and we stayed at Villa Zitetta a beautiful very personal house. I remember looking out of the master bedroom window when we arrived and feeling this beautiful cool sea breeze on this very, very hot day. Puglia is famous for its Masseria places to stay but we wanted a quiet oasis. And we found our home away from home, a “5 star oasis”. The ground floor has a huge terrace, which is the perfect place to have breakfast or candle light dinner while enjoying the spectacular view of the garden. Villa Zitetta comes with your own personal cook, who spoilt us during our whole stay with fresh local produce and fish caught by her husband. All beautifully prepared and laid out with a simple elegant style. Take her up on the offer to go on their little boat ride and watch how her husband collects sea urchins from the bed of the sea and you get to eat them fresh. Turquoise ocean and the caves make this trip a must. We rarely left the house and found our little spots to read under the olive trees and yoga on the terrace in shade. Connected to the terrace is the kitchen and dining room. with stone floors and a living room with a fireplace on this floor. On the second floor are two big double rooms. One is the master bedroom that faces the garden, which has its own bathroom. The other bedroom can accommodate another two people. you really get a sense of that natural world and feel you’re on your own isolated island from up there. “It’s the combination of everything — the people, the food, the weather, etc. What is very special here is the sky, the wonderful light. Puglia is not like other areas of Italy. It’s not really modern, but not too much behind either. We are remote enough for it to be authentic, but close to bigger cities so you can have that experience too if you want.”
