Large well equipped family villa
We stayed at villa Guila in August 2017. The villa is a great size and very well equipped with everything you need for a great stay. The pool and outside area is particularly nice and we made good use of the outside wood oven. This is a great villa for exploring Puglia but a car is essential as it is quite remote. Excellent service from Puglia Holiday Rentals and deposit as it was refunded really quickly.

Management comment
Thank you for your 5 star review. We are pleased you enjoyed your 2 week stay at Villa & Trullo Gioia. Lots of our guests enjoy making pizzas in the huge pizza oven and it is also a great way to slow roast a joint of meat too. The property is in the countryside but within 10 minutes drive you are in reach of Martina Franca, Cisternino and Ceglie Messpica. All towns worth visiting. If you do want to just pop out for something you have forgotten there are two village shops in approx 5 minutes drive. We were pleased to refund your deposit the same day you provided us with your bank details. It was a pleasure to have you as our guests and we hope to welcome you back to Puglia again sometime.
Very comfortable villa
Spacious and comfortable villa, very good equiped, well maintained, quiet but central location, ideal for family vacation and excursions into mid-Puglia. The lack of air conditioning may cause warm nights in the upper bedrooms.

Thank you for your review and it was a pleasure to have you stay. Villa and Trullo Gioia is a real home from home. There fans available around the villa should anyone find it warm at night.
What a wonderful holiday home
We have thoroughly enjoyed our week here and only wish we were staying longer! It's so easy to slip holiday relaxed mode here, which is just what we all wanted. In fact the house is so homely and well equipped that it's hard to drag yourself away; but we're glad we did as we've really enjoyed visiting the area. Highlights include Martina Franca by night (Summer Festival), beautiful Lecce, Ostuni and Locorotondo. We've eaten like kings. I particularly liked Tre Trulli's anti-pasta - its also a great place for kids to run around - both out and at home. Lazy Summer days in the pool, eating delicious fruit from the garden and enjoying the dolce vita - what more could you ask for? This is also one of the best equipped houses we've ever stayed in - fantastic games, DVD collection and the kitchen is better equipped than ours at home! Thanks again for a wonderful stay, we've love it. Froome family, Aug 2015

Love Puglia
All eight of us loved the pool and tennis court. Made good use of the outdoor kitchen. Lovely trip to Torre Guaceto, Ostuni and Martina Franca. Waterpark was a good day out, but get there early. Mostly ate at home, local produce all good. Love Puglia.

Fantastic villa, we made lots of use of the tennis court with our own version of Wimbledon! Lovely pool - a real life saver on hot days. Made lots of Pizza and loved BBQ's too.

Thank you for sharing your lovely house with us. The pool, tennis court and DVD collection have been our 'stay at home' highlights. Our favorite trips have been to Martina Franca market to buy fantastic fresh food and eating at local restaurants - Sagitario & Madonna dell Arco (once we had found it!). A lovely area and we will be back. Thank you!
