Villa vacation rentals in Porto Cesareo

Angelo and Anna Maria are exceptional hosts, who want to share their beautiful region and local products. The garden is very nice with different terraces (shade and sun all day). We had the pleasure of being able to shower outside with the rays of the sun. The pool attracts mosquitoes, but also the birds that come to catch them at the end of the day.

It was an amazing stay

This place was even more beautiful than the photos. Gorgeous views everywhere you looked. Sunrises were magical. Ada and her husband were so very kind and helpful with any questions we had. This place is a perfect oasis for a group gathering. You wouldn’t need to leave the property if you didn’t want to. So much to see and do right on site including pool and outdoor pizza oven. Several little spots to eat or have a drink with sea view within minutes. Santa Maria Di Leuca is only 15 minutes away with many terrific restaurants and touring options!

Nieves is a truly lovely host who went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Her recommendations were invaluable and it was a genuine pleasure to meet her and her family. The house is beautiful with plenty of space, comfy bedrooms and everything you could possibly need. The large open terraces and pool surrounding the house make it a great place for socialising as a large group whilst enjoying the peace of its spectacular surroundings. It is easy to access and nearby the historic city of Lecce with all it has to offer including stunning baroque architecture and some great bars and restaurants. We will be back! Thank you Nieves and Gabriele.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The location was perfect, offering both peace and easy access to nearby attractions. Everything exceeded our expectations, from the cozy atmosphere to the thoughtful touches throughout the house. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Dorothy and Gabriele's welcome was friendly. Dorothy was always available to answer our questions quickly. The place really has something special with its vaulted Lecce stone rooms that we really enjoyed. The place was clean and in good condition. Only downsides: - the 3 bedrooms are quite far from each other (1 at the entrance but outside, 1 at the back of the accommodation and 1 upstairs). Keep in mind with small children who are a little afraid of being away at night; - the accommodation is just on the edge of the street and is therefore a little noisy for those occupying the bedroom of the entrance. But otherwise everything was perfect. Thank you very much

If you are looking for a villa in total tranquility and super close to the sea like we wanted, Villaria is the best solution! The interior is cared in every single detail, the kitchen is complete with every accessory and comfort, there are three bedrooms each with its own bathroom, spacious and functional. The outdoor patio is very big and ideal for dining or having an aperitif during the sunset time, so peaceful! 😌 The villa is complete with a big swimming pool, parking slots and charging station for electric cars! The cleanliness of both the interior and exterior is impeccable! There are also both washer and dryer and the AC! Francesco was very kind and helpful Highly recommended!

Lucia's house is tastefully furnished and very beautiful with quality amenities the sheltered terrace in front is very pleasant as well as the beautiful courtyard at the back out of sight and in the quiet sun a pure happiness

A wonderful family holiday in a beautiful place. Mario and his family are excellent hosts who cannot do enough for you. Their hospitality was very appreciated, especially during a family emergency that occurred during our stay. They arranged cleaners and a chef for us, making a 5 star holiday more like 6 stars! The villa itself is beautiful with so much space and the swimming pool is a wonderful thing to have, few and far between in this part of Italy. Location is excellent, with the sea a short drive away and lots of lovely places like Gallipoli to visit. As a host myself I know how much work goes in to keeping a property in great condition and ensuring guests have a lovely stay - Mario has achieved that here and i hope to come back really soon!

Great place. We rented the entire villa even though there were only four of us. This proved to be a great idea because of the views from the upper floor and because the lower level really doesn’t have an indoor space for sitting. We very much enjoyed the garden and loved being able to grill our dinner and eat outside.

We were looking for a small town in Italy. We found just that. Mostly locals. Giurdignano is about 10 to 15 minutes by car to Otranto. The village itself is very quaint, with one sports bar, 2 or 3 restaurant/pizzerias/a small grocery store, a little market, and a bakery. Everyone was very nice. The house is very well stocked. We enjoyed our stay very much, even though the weather didn't cooperate very much. To visit other cities, you need a car, or a driver. Communication was great between the owner, myself, and the management staff. I would return.

Andrea is a fabulous host and could not do more to help us settle in and be looked after. He was always available and very accommodating. The property is a gem if you like peaceful, quiet places with a wonderful view. Two couples shared a bathroom without any problem, but generally it has a nice layout, with lots of space. We had one rainy day but we were still just happy to admire the view and relax, and it was a great surprise one evening to be able to see the mountains on the other side of the Gulf of Taranto. The beach at Lido Malibu is Caribbean and almost empty when we were there late May, but probably busy later judging by the number of available deck chairs. Gallipoli (30 mins) is a great trip to do as is Lecce a bit further, but generally we were happy to stay at the Villa by the superb pristine pool or go down to the beach. As we were self catering the house is well equipped, with lots of linen and towels, comfortable and nicely decorated. Definitely recommended.

An absolutely wonderful villa with a great view to the east and sunrise. Lots of space to sit and lounge and eat and spend time together with family and friends. A bit of a drive to the beach, but all very doable. Definitely in the return to list. Last but not least - Fausto is fab!

We had a great week, the house was true to the photographs of the listing, it was very well cared for and the owner was responding to our demands. We didn't take much advantage of it because in the end we spent the day out on the magnificent beaches of the region, but the house played a lot. In a quiet area but not far from the most frequented areas. With air conditioning in all rooms... ideal for families or large groups, to take advantage of the barbecue, pool and terrace. A very good experience. To repeat!

I have to say that we found a courtesy,kindness ,availability from Alessandro and Mauro , accellent hosts;never happened to find people like this, they made us feel like family, they satisfied our every request with a grace and politeness that is not from everyone , they pampered us with your welcome overtime that we really appreciated... we can only say that Alessandro is Mauro gave us care and the true warmth of the South...simply wonderful people. ..Thank you for Cuore and the whole Company of the Pets

We stayed at Giovanna's house with our 2 young children and had a wonderful time. The house is very cozily furnished (which was great in some rain), the kitchen very well equipped and it really has everything that makes children's hearts beat faster. From the extra bed to a baby swing in the living room to toys and playground and of course the ingenious pool. The beautiful garden invites you to linger and otherwise it is only a few minutes drive to the Caribbean beaches. Giovanna was a very hospitable, helpful and always quickly available host. We can definitely recommend the house and hope to come again ourselves.

Tommaso is very welcoming and very attentive to his guests. the accommodation matches the description, quiet place close to the sea and within a reasonable distance of Otranto, Gallipoli, Lecce, nice visits in the area and Santa Maria di leuca. recommended for a cocooning stay and visits to the lower part of the Puglia region.

We had a lovely stay. A relaxing place, lovely pool and outdoor space, close to Tricase with a good choice of restaurants.

Honestly one of the best places I have stayed. Nine of us spent over a week there and everyone loved it. Literally not a bad word to say about the place. The villa, pool etc were all as/better than described, especially the pool. We would definitely visit again. Pillows, air con, kitchen, outdoor seating, views etc were all great. The ‘neighbours’ were lovely, don’t speak much English but greeted us on arrival and made sure everything was all ok the whole time. Antonio is a true gentleman, thanks again! Couple tips - local town Martano has a lovely ‘caffe Stella’ with great cakes etc. Torre Sant’Andrea is rocky but amazing swimming under the arch etc. La Cala dell’Acquaviva is small but beautiful, swimming out between the cliff faces. I could go on but in summary, if you want a peaceful, well equipped, beautiful place to stay, away from the bigger more touristy towns but within driving distance of everything, book it up!

Fantastic experience!!! Our best stay at italy. The house is fully equipped, decorated with an excelent taste, everything is in excellent conditions, very clean We enjoyed a lot the pool and the precious galleria. Highly recommended for demanding guests. Francesca and tommaso were excellent hosts , very kind, flexible and generous. 10 points everything!!! Top house!!!

Fantastic place as expected in the photos and description on the site. We spent four days in contact with nature using fruits, vegetables, and eggs inside the estate. Lisa and her partner were very kind and assisted us with every request. We'll be back for sure ✨

beautiful house with huge garden and a climatizes big covered swimming pool. very high ceilings gives the house a very luxurious admosphere. we loved to stay here.

The villa is lovely, spacious with high ceilings. Modern Aircon in most rooms, a lovely terrace with table football and table tennis. The pool is fantastic, really big and clean, with enough beds / chairs. The other flat is separate enough and the pool area big enough to accommodate 2 families / groups. The area is quiet and is close to the beaches / resort towns (3 mins to Santa Caterina /5 mins to Santa Maria). Lecce is less than 30 mins drive and Gallipoli 20 mins, lots of places for boat trips.

We thought the apartment was absolutely great and recommended. The garden with pool is beautiful, the roof terrace with views to Gallipoli is exceptional. The furnishings are very tasteful with many loving details. Communication with Luigi was excellent and he was always available and responded to inquiries at short notice.
