Relaxing Holliday's surrounded by nature, but nearby great culture.

Comfortable house with a lovely swimming pool and a great view in a beautiful and calm environment. We just had not the beautiful weather we hoped to have and the swimming pool could be a bit more cleaned.

Thank you for your lovely review of Villa Bella Collina. As you say the view is amazing and we too love the peaceful countryside. Regarding the pool, it was cleaned on the morning of your arrival and then again half way during your stay of 7 nights. When it rains or is windy of course dust/debris enters the pool, it's normal. If you had got in contact with us to say you would like the pool cleaned again we would have done so. On check-in we did say if you have any issues to get in contact so we can resolve them. Telling us after your stay meant we would do nothing about it for you which is a shame. We hope to welcome you back again sometime.
Excellent villa

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the villa. It is very well equipped with all one would need. It is obviously the holiday home of a family, which makes it much more friendly and welcoming than a rental property. The villa is very comfortable, the pool is beautiful and the area is quiet and Very attractive. Barbara, the manager, was very helpful. The Directions to the locations to the villa which challenging.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Villa Bella Collina. It is a real home from home and is very well equipped. All our guests love the location especially the view from the pool. We are sorry you had trouble to arrive at the meeting point. Our instructions are very clear including the GPS location; you are the first person to have difficulty with them in over 3 years. We waited over 1 hour for you. In the end had to call you to find you had gone to the wrong place. We thank you again for such a lovely review and hope you will come back to Puglia again sometime.
Brilliant!

Villa Bella Collina is wonderful for a family holiday - spacious, in great grounds with a beautiful large pool and all well supplied. It is up a short track but close to a good shop and all the local places of interest. Jackie and her team made it all so easy and could not have been more helpful. - we hope to be back!

Thank you for your 5 star review of Villa Bella Collina. Everyone loves the big pool and the views from it. It's also great you can nip down in the car to the local shop in a few minutes or walk there if you fancy a stroll.
Magnifique séjour

Maison magnifique, vue imprenable avec notamment pour les plus courageux un lever de soleil féérique depuis le toit terrasse.... La piscine affiche vraiment de belles dimensions et il est possible de vraiment nager. Située entre les deux mers au cœur des Pouilles, les lieux à visiter sont nombreux. Alberobello, locorotondo, ... De magnifiques petites villes aux centres historiques magnifiques. A noter pour les craintifs au niveau moustiques que la maison est pourvue de moustiquaires à toutes les fenêtres. Un très beau séjour, un accueil au top par Barbara, toujours disponible au besoin.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Villa Bella Collina. The views are breathtaking and we like watching the sun go down whilst having a swim in the pool. We do have mosquito nets on all windows which is pretty standard for this quality of villa. We are pleased you discovered some of the area and it was a pleasure to host you. We hope to see you again.
A home from home but with bells and whistles!

This is our second stay at Bella Collina. A beautiful villa with all you need for a relaxing stay. The pool area has been enhanced and offers many spots to kick back. Table tennis offers a respite from the sun. The rooftop offers beautiful views all around especially at sunrise and sunset. The walking/cycling trail can be joined from right outside the gate. You can also walk to Galante - a great shop that has everything you could need food wise. The villa is conveniently located for visiting the local towns. Barbara, our property manager was very welcoming and ready to offer any assistance to make our stay even better. Jackie, thanks for accommodating us at short notice .. we will be back!

Nous avons probablement passé un séjour exclusif dans les Pouilles comme peu d'autres vacanciers l'auront vécu, la pluie s'étant invitée quasi chaque jour. Cependant, la région est magnifique et la température idéale pour la visiter confortablement. La maison est parfaite et sa localisation est très centrale pour découvrir les diverses villes aux alentours : Ostuni, Lecce, Polignano et Monopoli, Matera…! L'accueil de Barbara et sa disponibilité sont un atout majeur pour de paisibles vacances ; merci à elle.

Stunning Views

Lovely villa in a quiet location. Panoramic views across the hills. Ideal spot for visiting the many interesting towns & villages in this part of Puglia. Villa itself is very well maintained and the kitchen is very well equipped. Nice size pool and table tennis table. Comfortable beds. Ideal retreat.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Villa Bella Collina All our guests rave about the view of the surrounding countryside and the easy access to the rest of Puglia. It was a pleasure to have you come and stay.
A really lovely peaceful and beautiful place to stay.

Right on the cycle and walking path the aquedotto pugliese, the villa is in the middle of olive groves and just so peaceful with a really decent sized swimming pool. Puglia Holiday Rentals were extremely helpful and we would highly recommend.

Thank you for your review of Villa Bella Collina. The pool is bigger than most in the area and the views from it just stunning. The walking and cycle path are right on your doorstep as you say. It was a pleasure the help you make the most of your stay in Puglia with suggestions on what to do and where to go.
Family Holiday

We had a lovely experience. Property was well-maintained and very comfortable, hosts were excellent. We came during the heat wave and the pool was our saviour as, typical of the region, there is no air conditioning. Would absolutely come and stay again!

What a lovely thing to write about Villa Bella Collina. The views and countryside side nearby make this a special place to stay.
Très agréable villa

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour à la Villa Bella Collina. La maison est grande et bien équipée. La piscine magnifique et la vue de la terrasse superbe. Nous avons également apprécié le ménage de milieu de séjour et le changement du linge ainsi que la présence d'un lave linge. Bonne situation pour rayonner dans la région. Petit bémol : les poubelles à 4 kms, la dernière partie de la route très dégradée et les portes des chambres et de la sdb vitrées pour l'intimité.

Thank you for your lovely review of Villa Bella Collina. We are pleased you loved the beautiful terrace, views, pool and land. We offer a mid-stay clean on any booking of 10 nights or more as we appreciate that when you are away from home everybody likes to relax. Unless you are in town everyone locally has to take their own rubbish to the bins. Normally our guests do this on their way out in the evening and therefore no big deal. Villa Bella Collina means Villa on the beautiful hill. The last part of the route to the villa is on an track road which crosses the acquedotto Pugliese, a popular walking and cycling track. Once again, it was a pleasure to meet you all and to hear how you enjoyed your stay.
It's a fantastic experience!

We came from Japan, and it's the first time for us to stay in Puglia. The house was very beautiful and pleasant. We could enjoy very much to swim in the pool, to play ping-pong, to cook with the foods from that place. Thank you very much indeed!!

Thank you for your lovely review. It is a large will and the bedrooms a good size. All our guests love the pool and the floats we have for it.
Amazing Villa

We had a truly wonderful stay for a week in the Villa Bella Collina. The villa is in a very quiet location - that's what we were looking for. On a hill, so you can see olive trees all around you. You can also see, from the roof terrace, further away some of the nice towns located around the villa. The swimming pool is big and lot of fun for our baby. The villa itself is very well equipped, furnished kitchen with everything you need. We received a very warm welcome from the team of Puglia Holidays Rentals and they remained available throughout the stay if needed. Overall a great experience, highly recommended

Lovely villa in a beautiful location
We had a lovely two weeks here. The villa is in a gorgeous location with a cycle path running behind it, perfect for evening or morning walks. There is a restaurant and mini market about 20 minutes walk away which is great if you don't want to drive to one of the lovely nearby towns but they are well worth driving to. The views from the pool are gorgeous and our boys loved picking the grapes from the vines at the bottom of the garden.

Comfortable villa with a great view!
This is a really comfortable and very well equipped house with loads of space and many thoughtful extras - lots of kitchen equipment and cook books, inflatables for the pool, table tennis, basketballs and a hoop, plentiful fruit trees to help yourself to and best of all, a huge pool! It is nicely furnished inside (don't be put off by the rather simple exterior). There are wonderful walks available from the doorstep and Jackie and Sheree are very helpful. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed visiting the attractive nearby towns.

Thank you for your lovely review. We love the panoramic views surrounding the villa and the fact you can walk to the local cafe/bar/shop and now restaurant "Sale n Pepe" in about 15 minutes.
Perfect Family hideaway base on top of the hill
We had a relaxing and wonderful stay at Villa Bella Collina. Informative and friendly welcome. Jackie sorted a small hiccup with the water during our stay promptly. The Kids were ecstatic with the pool and inflatables provided, so were we. The olive grove and fruit trees (figs, pears, apples, grapes, almonds) has ripe fruit that we enjoyed. Well kept tidy and clean throughout. Rooms were spacious and kitchen equipped well enough for us to cook lovely fresh produce from Martina's market. The villa is set on a hill so benefits from a breeze even in the heat and also means you have great 360 view,especially from the roof terrace. At night we had the vista of the heavens and were lucky enough to see firework displays in Locotorondo & Ceglie Messapica. Martina Franca is beautiful, as is the surrounding countryside and other local towns. Cafe Galante is great local store or place to pick up a very nice lunch. We will definitely return in the future.

Fantastic villa, peaceful with superb pool.
We all loved the pool, great fruit trees and wonderful surroundings. Fireworks, shooting stars, figs and almonds from the garden, catching lizards and the pool to ourselves.... perfect. Recommend cooking with produce from one of the local markets, cant beat freshness or takeaway from Cafe Galante deli 5 minutes drive away.

The pool was really clean
Our stay was a lovely one. We were asked if we wanted an early check in, how wonderful! At arrival Jackie Lear explained everything very nicely and she gave very good tips what to do and what to visit in Puglia. And we did! The villa was very clean, tidy and spacious. And the pool was really very clean too and had crispy cold water, a must in hot Puglia. If we come again, we certainly will visit this villa!!!! Thank you Jackie for all your information and printing our flight tickets, super!

What a stunning location we found Bella Collina to be in!
What a stunning location we found Bella Collina to be in! Gazing out over the green Valle d'Itria from the roof terrace, watching the pink and orange sunset in a darkening deep blue sky, glass in hand, it is hard to imagine a more tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. While the rest of the family get on with a BBQ in the spacious and varied outdoor areas, with gorgeous food from local markets, you can see the White cones of the old trulli houses and the rough stone walls fade gradually in the balmy dusk. For me this was the most magical part of our holiday and and one of those memories that you keep with you for a very long time. A very special place.

I stayed at this beautiful villa last summer with friends and enjoyed the generous facilities/equipment, clean and easy living spaces and helpful attention of the local and very knowledgeable agent. The pool is well kept and a delight to relax around- pool bathroom really handy to save going indoors- and it has a fridge for cold drinks! This location is brilliant for evening trips into any of three nearby towns- or you can just walk/cycle down to the local shop/ bar which is fun. We plan to be back!

We had a fantastic week
We had a fantastic week - the area is gorgeous, Bella Collina beautiful and with fabulous views. The weather has been wonderful - its hard to believe that only a few hours away in the UK it is drizzly and autumnal (we have it on good authority!). Last but not least the antipasti in Ceglie is delicious! We'll most likely be back. Ci vediamo!

Villa Bella Collina was great base to visit the various towns and beaches
First time to Puglia and it certainly lived up to expectations - people, wine, food and scenery. Bella Collina was a great base to visit the various towns and beaches. The view from the villa across the valley is beautiful and a pleasure to use the pool with that as the backdrop. Sheree and Jackie have been amazing hosts and through them we 've enjoyed both cookery and wine experiences. Their advice has been tremendous.
