We very much enjoyed our stay with our family at this lovely large villa with a pool and also enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. The host and property manager were very responsive when contacted before and during our stay. There are many services such as vineyard and olive oil tours available through this property. We hired a private chef one evening and had a lovely meal with great service. Thank you Jeremy and property management team for your hospitality.
We were a group of five couples who stayed here for a week at the end of June. The Trullo met our needs perfectly. We loved the very large kitchen with ample equipment and a dining table big enough for the whole group to sit around comfortably. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all nicely decorated. We spent most of our time outside on the terrace or in the pool area - there are plenty of shady areas to escape from the sun if necessary. All communication with the owners was very friendly and helpful, especially local restaurant recommendations. We bought wine at the cooperative and it was really good- definitely try the primitivo! We also bought cheese from the farm just down the road and would recommend their burrata, which was delicious! The check in/out went according to plan and the property manager was very helpful explaining everything. Thank you Jeremy and Kate for a wonderful week in your beautiful trullo.
Great location, large and private. Excellent staff
The property description is not an hyperbole, and reflects the great location of these villa, outside town and the hustle and bustle on a large and private lot.
Easy check-in and out and host services friendly and just a phone call away.
A beautiful house, very comfy, clean and welcoming. Great outdoors with fabulous pool and dinning space .Excellent base for travelling around Apulia. It's location peaceful and calm, making our family holiday so very special.
We had a perfect stay at the villa. Air conditioning and pool in good condition. Nice areas outside for relaxing, and we cooked dinner at the house several nights. The house is very well equipped. Nice bathrooms, and the bedrooms had extra pillovs/blancets. We were 10 persons for a week, and we loved it!
Een prachtig huis met alle voorzieningen. Mooi groot zwembad. Het huis ligt 15 min rijden van alberobello midden in het land en een zee van rust om daar te verblijven. Je wordt netjes opgehaald en de eerste keer naar je verblijf gebracht en netjes ontvangen.werkelijk alles is aanwezig en het huis was heel schoon. WiFi is aanwezig maar alleen in het huis heb je verbinding en bij het zwembad niet, ook heb je geen vaste internet verbinding alleen met de WiFi, toch 1 klein minpuntje wij waren met 5 koppels en hadden ook het verblijf uitgekozenen voor 5 slaapkamers met 5 badkamers maar er zijn maar 4 badkamers. Maar toch een heerlijk verblijf gehad en volop genoten
Our extended family, ranging in age between 7 and 66, had a wonderful stay in this lovely property. From the swimming pool to the bedrooms, from the outside seating ( and shaded areas) to the extremely well equipped kitchen we cannot fault it in any way.
Couple this with the rural quietness and the ease at driving to the nearest towns for food shopping, dining and culture it has proved to be a perfect property.
We have had the most glorious stay at Casa Castagno and it served our needs amazingly - never have we had such an amazing rental kitchen but car hire is essential due to the location which is a peaceful haven. We have become addicted to Primitivo and the Puglian life style âŠ. But not the Italian driving !
Onze eerste vakantie in Puglia. Zeer mooie omgeving. Villa is centraal gelegen om zowel interessante steden te bezoeken als naar het strand te gaan. Groot zwembad dat lekker verkoelend is op de zomerse dagen. Zeer ruime keuken.
Lovely rural setting amidst rolling hills & farms.
Fantastic cheese farm 1km walk down the road.
Kitchen set up enabled all in our group of 9 who wanted to cook up fabulous feasts using local produce found on our daily excursions.
Outside terrace, dining area & pool were well used, especially our 1st week while the daylight lasted longer & temperatures were warmer.
Screens on the windows (& doors), and maybe even some fly strips would have helped keep the flies outside rather than in; we created a new game of 'fly swatting Olympics' to try to keep the flies under control. Thank you for having a few fly swatters and food screen covers available to use to protect some of the food prepared.
Puglia Perfect management group was extremely responsive when the oven was found to need repair on our arrival and when the electricity went out. Also for arranging our olive oil tour and cooking class with Lucrezia; we all found these informative and delicious.
A little more instruction in the house information manual on how to use the thermostat to control the radiator heating would have been helpful (after the all day power outage it seemed the radiators were heating up during the day when not needed but not coming on at night which we wanted the 2nd week as the temperatures got cooler at night; also the pool lights were on in the day and not at night; this may have had something to do with the power outage affecting a timer?). This was one time Puglia Perfect was unable to help us figure this out.
All in all we found Casa Castagno a great place for our group of 9 family & friends to enjoy each others' company, create great meals, take the cooking class arranged through Perfect Puglia and see the areas sights. A once in a lifetime dream come true for us.
This lovely property worked so well for the 3 generations of our family.6 adults and 3 children for 2 weeks.Enjoyed the rural peace and quiet and central location to explore nearby towns- 3 all about 15 minutes away.
House well equipped to self cater.
