charming historic villa

although the villa is old it has been attractively and creatively updated. patrizia (the owner/manager) immediately responded to the few glitches that occurred and was a wealth of information on where to go and what to do in the area. the entire family enjoyed our stay very much.

Fun location for our family reunion

My husband has long dreamed of spending time living inside a small Italian town. Spongano and Patrizia's villa was the perfect place to plan a surprise birthday for him. Our kids converged from different countries to surprise him, quite a feat to arrange. Patrizia was very helpful to our group of 11, arranging reservations for a special lunch and dinner the Saturday we arrived, ordering a birthday cake and arranging for a cook to make a dinner for us, many suggestions about activities and arranging a wonderful farewell lunch at Le Stanzie, Some of the sprawling layout of the property was unclear to me from the description. In particular, the room with double beds is actually part of a suite, sharing a bathroom with the canopied bedroom. This layout was fine for our son, his wife and their two teenagers but wouldn't be a good fit for 2 couples. Also, the 6th bedroom (green walls) is separate from the rest of the house, on the roof and accessed outdoors by a steep flight of stone stairs. Because of its isolation, we did not use the bedroom. Also, be aware that WiFi is very unreliable and even cellular data is a challenge to use. We enjoyed wandering around Spongano, coming to know Ricardo, the young owner of the local Coop market and some of the other residents of this lived-in town. Patrizia's villa is a good choice for a large group to come together. We had a ball!

Magnificent villa in a charming village. Meticulously restored and tastefully decorated.

We stayed as a family. We love the villa. Even though it may be centuries old, it has the comforts of a modern home. The town of Spongano is charming. Groceries and bakeries are located nearby. Seaside villages of Castro, Santa Maria de Leuca and Otranto are minutes away by car. It is a fantastic base for exploring the Salento Peninsula. The owner Patrizia is very helpful. She made restaurant and beach reservations. Patrizia’s recommendations were spot on. She was a text and phone call away for any questions we have. We felt taken care of the whole week. The villa. Yes the villa. It is tastefully restored with modern amenities. It is a short walk to the main town square. There are couple of excellent restaurants nearby Picalo in the main town square and La Bersagliera in nearby Surano.

A beautifully kept villa in a quiet village.

The villa was more than we could've hoped for! We were 8 adults and 2 young toddlers. Bedrooms were all ensuing and very comfortable, kitchen was well equipped and a comfortable lounge for the children to sit in when it was too hot outside. The annex was perfect for the young family. Plenty of outdoor space the gardens and pool were well maintained and provided plenty of shade with nice patio furniture and sun beds. Spongano was a delightful village with supermarket, bakery, cafes and a couple of restaurants and pizzerias all within walking distance. Patrizia the owner was so helpful and text each day to make sure we were ok and booked up anything we needed restaurants, a boat trip in Castro Marina and recommended the best beaches in the around. Salento is a beautiful area, we were sad that we only had one week to explore. We hired cars which were essential for the beaches.we recommend Otranto, a boat trip to the caves at Castro Marina, Coco Loco for a 'Caribbean ' Beach experience, Bagno Lucia for a wonderful lunch and beach. Just remember to budget for utilities that are added on at the end of your holiday. The meters were read together at the beginning and end of our stay. Thank you Patrizia for a wonderful stay and looking after us and we would recommend a stay here to family groups of all ages. We look forward to visiting again one day.

Charming and Spacious Villa in Spongano

Il Giardino degli Aranci is a charming villa, tucked away at the end of an alley, located centrally in the small town of Spongano. The villa is spacious; the accommodation is of a high-standard as described; and it is well furnished both inside and out. There are two internal courtyard gardens, one of which extends on another level to a pool area, both containing mature citrus trees. The bedroom accommodation is in three separated parts: two bedrooms in the main building, another two separated by the courtyard, and another on the rooftop above the main building. Altogether, it is spacious and functional. The owners have renovated the property to a high-standard, and maintain it very well. It retains its attributes as a charming old stone villa equipped with modern conveniences, such as hi-speed wifi, dishwasher, washing machine, two fridges and numerous lights. As occupants are responsible for utilities which are expensive in this part of Italy, we were vigilant in ensuring that all lights and appliances were turned off overnight. The kitchen area is very well equipped with appliances, crockery and cutlery, suitable for self –catering for part or all of the time. We spent much of the time dining alfresco using the large table in the main courtyard. This is also a pleasant area for pre-dinner drinks. From time to time, we had a few mosquitoes but, with the use of repellent, these were not too much of a problem. We stayed there as a group of friends, consisting of three couples and three singles from Australia and the UK. We made numerous day trips to the nearby towns of Maglie, Castro, Tricase, Lecce, Otranto, and Galipoli. A car is essential. Navigating around the local roads and towns, and for that matter through the one-way systems of Spongano, is not easy without a smart phone. This part of Puglia is very authentic and not frequented by hordes of tourists. Although not overly scenic, it is an interesting destination with its own history, architecture and interlocking rural areas, two coastlines, and closely separated small towns. There are numerous pizzerias and small restaurants nearby, all with delicious food and good local wine. Our host and hostess, Roberto and Patrizia, were very helpful. They are readily accessible and keen to help. For example, we arrived on a public holiday when all the local supermarkets were closed. To help us get started, Patrizia arranged for one of the nearby small supermarkets to open just for us.

Cosy and comfortable asylum with friendly owners

The house is decorated with great care and offers a really high standard. The patio with a pool is a highlight, you can eat fruit straight from the trees. There's a cafeteria 50 m from the house, perfect for morning cafe and cornetto. Owners were very hospitable and helpful, gave us a lot of information about what to see and where to go. Having a dinner at Masseria Le Stanzie near Supersano is a must, for typical everyday meal I'd recommend an old style restaurant & pizzeria close to the railway station in Spongano. Unfortunately there's no sandy beach nearby, but it's worth to take a 30-40 km drive to beaches at Ionian sea or Laghi Alimini. I hope to be back in Salento someday!

Magnifique maison typique!

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans la magnifique maison de Patricia et Roberto. Le jardin est fantastique, ombragé et arboré, l’espace piscine très bien aménagé et ensoleillé. Patrizia pleine d’enthousiasme, nous a aidé à louer un bateau, conseillé des restaurants, et nous a donné un nombre impressionnant d’informations! Nous avons simplement regretté de ne pas pouvoir profiter d’un dernier petit déjeuner en famille, les femmes de ménage arrivant à 8h15.

The new Paradise! Fantastic Host

We had a fantastic stay! The Villa is marvelous. Patrizia is a fantastic host. She helps you with everything, knows everyone in the area and introduced us perfectly to Salento, where we were the first time. The villa has four fantastic rooms (all with nice A/C), a perfect pool especially for kids (we had 2 - 6&8, good swimmers) and a lovely kitchen, nice patio. The village Spognano is lovely - lots of activities, nice surrounding. We will definitely come back! Loved it - 5 out of 5!

Lovely house in great location

Lovely house with cosy courtyard(s). The property is ideal for the heat in Salento. We selected it also for location, which did not disappoint: in the quiet town of Spongano, close to shops and a short drive from the sea. Patrizia is extremely helpful with tips about the area and very responsive. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property

The property itself is absolutely beautiful with lovely rooms all with own bathroom. Beautiful out door areas with table for outdoor dining. It has a fabulous pool in a fenced off area. It is close to beautiful beaches and all amenities. We had an amazing holiday. The owner is very knowledgeable about the area and is on hand with suggestions and to answer any queries. People renting from abroad should note that in Italy electricity and water are not included in the rental costs and are paid separately at the end. I would recommend this property to others wishing to stay in Puglia.

Charming villa, very nice stay

We spent 1 week in this beautiful villa, which is huge and very nice. We were warmly welcomed and Patrizia was available at any point of time for good addresses, advices about all things to do in the region. This was really appreciated, thanks again !! Even before our stay we received very interesting information from her. This small village is not far from the see (Castro is very nice). Definitely the right place to visit the south of the Salento!

Beautiful Villa in Puglia

We had a great holiday. We were 8 adults, 3 couples and 2 singles, so the house was plenty big enough with 5 double bedrooms. Although worth noting that one of the bedrooms is up some fairly steep stairs so anyone with mobility issues may struggle. Lovely view though. Check in was really easy, Patrizia arranged a pick up from the airport and to hire two small cars for us to charge around in during our stay. The drop off at the villa and picking up the cars all worked really smoothly. We did contemplate hiring a van for us all, but the streets are so narrow it was easier to have two small cars. Saying that, there is a well equipped supermarket within 5 mins walk, so you could be self-sufficient without transport. We really enjoyed being able to drive ourselves to local beaches and towns. The villa was in great condition, the kitchen had everything we could ever need. Big fridge, adequate freezer and a wine fridge for overflow. The pool was lovely, really nice to lounge in the shade or sun. Plenty of space to eat outside in the evening. Patrizia also arranged for a local lady chef to come to the villa and cook on a couple of occasions. She didn't speak any English and we pretty much no Italian, but we got on fine, and her cooking was delicious. I'd really recommend her. Thank you to Patrizia and everyone who made our holiday wonderful.

Una bella casa salentina

La casa è molto bella ed è come appare nelle foto. Oltre che per la bellezza delle diverse stanze da letto, la casa è meravigliosa per la qualità degli spazi aperti: piccoli cortili ombreggiati da alberi di arancio e di fichi collegano le varie parti della casa e sono spazi dove poter rilassarsi leggendo un libro e cenando con gli amici. Patrizia è un'ottima padrona di casa, è sempre disponibile e dà ottimi consigli per ristoranti, spiagge e luoghi da visitare.

Quaint villa offering brilliant facilities

Excellent villa with loads of character. There were 8 of us including adults, a teenager and 2 nine year olds. Everyone enjoyed the stay from swimming or lounging around the pool or sitting quietly in other shady areas. Two supermarkets are in walking distance and a larger one is a drive away, so it is very easy to eat at the villa. We ate outside in the great little walled courtyard outside the kitchen door. It is all very private and enclosed. Wonderful place. We ate out at brilliant restaurants a car drive away and had a couple of excellent meals in the local square and at the pizzeria. Patrizia gives excellent advice and arranges wonderful tables in restaurants or where to go for a beach or day out. She is kind and helpful and always at the end of a phone to assist. In all a wonderful place. Now we are home we miss it all.

Delightful well equipped house in small unspoilt town

The description and photos of this lovely house are very accurate and so we knew what to expect. This is a lovely old property, well maintained, and beautifully decorated and furnished with antiques and quirky pieces. The property is a good size for a large family or group and the layout means there is space to be private if it's needed. It's location in the centre of town means you can easily stroll out to local bars or restaurants for breakfast, lunch, snacks, drinks or dinner. There are several small supermarkets within walking distance as well as traditional bakers, a butcher etc so self catering is easy. The charming owners are very helpful and really wanted to make sure that we had a wonderful stay; Patrizia organised a transfer from Brindisi for some members of our party, and made many helpful suggestions for restaurants and good places to visit. This is a fascinating area with delightful old towns and a great coastline - you can spend time on well maintained private beaches or find a tiny cove away from the masses (we loved Tricasse Porto). The nearby town of Castro has an interesting castle on the hill to visit, lovely bars and restaurants, and a harbour where you can rent a boat to explore the coast. A magical location for a holiday; we have fallen in love with Salento.

Heerlijke week in gezellig huis midden in Spongano!

Wij hebben met 2 gezinnen een prima week gehad in dit gezellige grote huis. Je moet de eerste dagen even de weg vinden maar e.e.a. wijst zich eigenlijk vanzelf. Er was een (klein) zwembad met fijne ligstoelen om van de zon te genieten. Ook hebben wij gezellig buiten gegeten (bbq). Leuk is dat je op loopafstand een koffiebar, bakker en andere gemakken om de hoek treft. Iedere gast adviseer ik de tour langs de prachtige kustlijn naar het Zuiden te rijden. Tot slot, er is een vriendelijke en behulpzaam beheerster!

Gorgeous stay in Salento

We had a lovely time in Patrizia's beautiful villa in Spongano which she has refurbished to very high standards. We want to leave a note to thank Pat and Robi for their warm welcome. Even though it was 'only' April the children enjoyed the pool and we were able to eat out in the wonderful garden a few times. Thanks again for all the good advice so we could make the most of our stay. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa for a holiday - spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished, well equipped. A great location too, a short walk to the caffeteria and the shops. We also enjoyed the beautiful cities of Castro (a few kms away), Galipolli, Lecce and Otranto. Wish we had had more time to see them all! Thanks again and arrivederci!

Calorosa e romantica casa in pieno centro

Abbiamo soggiornato una settimana in questa bella villa, la cui struttura é tutt'altro che quadrata. Con le sue camere tutte diverse, dei bagni decorati con gusto, due cortili, i limoni ed una piscina, il Giardino degli Aranci é una gradevolissima proprietà dove ci si sente subito "a casa". L'unico difetto, direi, é l'assenza di un parcheggio privato ... ma non é troppo difficile trovarne uno per la strada adiacente. Detto questo, le informazioni indicate sulla pagina web sono precise, e le foto danno una giusta immagine di questo gioiello nel centro di Spongano.
