This is a cute, two bedroomed house. It has a lovely pool and a pool area. We received a great welcome pack of local produce when we arrived and Silvana, the property manager was really great and helpful. The kitchen was helpfully supplied with salt, pepper, Olive Oil and balsamic vinegar. The only thing to be aware of is the size of the single beds in the second bedroom. They are quite narrow.
We had an amazing stay with our two kids. Ursula and Antonio were welcoming and attentive hosts, and the house and surroundings were beautiful. Days were spent in the pool, feeding the neighbour's horses and visiting the local Blue Flag beach, Torre Guaceto. The Villa was also driving distance from major Puglia sites like Polignano a Mare, Ostuni and Alberobello. A bad storm hit us one day during our stay and knocked out the electricity, and Ursula and Antonio were very responsive and did everything they could to restore the electricity and update us while work was underway. They even brought us a cake for our troubles. I highly recommend this Villa.
Wir waren zum zweiten Mal hier und es ist einfach ein traumhafter Ort. Ruhig, sauber, großer Pool und sehr schön eingerichtete Wohnung. Silvana und Brian sind wunderbare Gastgeber, die sich sehr um ihre Gäste kümmern. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Ci siamo trovati molto bene e Silvana non ci ha fatto mancare niente!!! Speriamo di andarci ancora una volta!!! Carissimi saluti e un abbraccio e a presto!
Wir hatten das Vergnügen, in diesem traumhaften Ferienhaus zu übernachten und waren absolut begeistert! Vom großen erfrischenden Pool bis zur geschmackvollen Einrichtung, alles war perfekt. Der Garten ist ein wahrer Rückzugsort, tolle vielseitige Bepflanzung . Die Ruhe und die private Lage sorgt für uneingeschränkte Erholung. Das Grundstück ist äußerst gepflegt und die Gastfreundschaft von Silvana, die uns entgegengebracht wurde, war unübertroffen. Ein echtes Paradies!
Jolie villa dans un environnement très calme mais malgré tout proche de tout pour visister et profiter des vacances.
Maison très agréable et piscine au top.
Haus und Umgebung sind sehr gepflegt und ruhig gelegen. Die Gastgeber waren sehr bemüht und haben uns auch mit guten Tipps bez. Stränden, Restaurant etc. versorgt. Wir haben die Ferien im Haus von Ursula und Antonia rundum genossen.
Comfortable villa with wonderful hosts and surrounding
The Villa is comfortable and has all you need for a great vacation, for family of 4. The pool is big and clear, garden is nice and has the wonderful fig tree with delicious figs :-).
Location is very suitable, it is closely the beaches and also convenient for visiting of the most of attractions of Puglia. Ursula and Antonio are very regardful and friendly hosts and provided as basic groceries upon our arrival, as also made sure about our daughter and provide special the ramp for her wheelchair. It was extremely pleasant. Communication was very easy and informative. The whole vocation was excellent and we feel lucky to choose this villa. Thank you so much!
The property is fabulous and well thought-out, with everything our family of 4 could possibly need. The pool and gardens are beautiful, as is the surrounding area. Ursula and Antonio are such kind and friendly hosts, making sure we had lunch and supplies when we arrived. The whole experience was brilliant and I feel very lucky to have stayed here. Thank you so much x
This villa has all you need for a great relaxing vacation: big pool; calm surroundings, close proximity to beautiful beaches and little towns to explore. Communication was very easy with the owner. Would recommend without hesitation!
La nostra è stata una felicissima vacanza in un posto incantevole che ci ha veramente ricaricati, facendoci dimenticare il periodo del lock-down
Ursula e Antonio sono stati di una squisita gentilezza e pronti a soddisfare ogni nostra richiesta, ci hanno accolti con il sorriso e ci hanno fatto trovare uova,olio di loro produzione, latte per la colazione e addirittura del Prosecco in "fresco"
La Villa è in una luogo tranquillo e immerso nella natura,la spiaggia di Torre Guaceto a 10 minuti di auto a dir poco favolosa.
Indubbiamente consiglierei Villa Porta d'Oriente a chiunque perché ne vale la pena!!!in conclusione tutto pienamente OK!!!!!!!
Ancora Grazie per aver regalato a tutti noi una vacanza indimenticabile!!!!
Home is in excellent condition, well equipped and has a beautiful pool. Owner very generously provided basic groceries upon our arrival. Home does really only sleep four comfortably as there are only two bedrooms and the fold out couch is in the open plan living area. Location is excellent - very rural but close to beaches and other attractions.

Great Property
The property is in a lovely rural setting and so peaceful which made it a really relaxing holiday. It is equipped with everything you need and out of all the villas we have ever stayed in (which is a lot in many countries) so many extras, especially in the kitchen that you normally have to go out and buy were provided. The owners, Ursula and Antonio were so welcoming, even supplying us with a fantastic meal for the evening we arrived and stocked up the fridge with things for breakfast the following morning as we had a later flight so we didn't have to worry about shopping as soon as we got there. So very thoughtful. Ursula gave us very useful information of the local area and further afield, including places to visit, restaurants and shops etc.
The weather was great for the whole two weeks and it was lovely having the good sized pool to dip into to cool down.
The design of the villa was great as there was always somewhere shady if you wanted to get out of the sun and plenty of sun beds to relax on.
A real treat for us was Ursula and Antonio supplying us with fresh eggs from there own hens and turkeys!!
An amazing relaxing holiday which we all enjoyed, made extra special by the attention to detail and the care from Ursula and Antonio. Thank you.

Super und unvergesslich!!
Ein Traumort um den Alltag für eine zeitlang zu vergessen!
Es fehlte uns an gar nichts!!
Traumlage für Ausflüge und Sonnenbäder an wunderschönen Naturstränden mit türkisblauem Meer oder einfach baden ganz alleine beim eigenen grossen Pool. Das Haus, Garten und Pool sind sehr grosszügig und sehr sauber. Bei der Einrichtung fehlte uns nichts, alles ist vorhanden. Sogar ein Ferseher den wir aber nie brauchten - ausser zum WM Finale ;-). Kostenfreies, unbeschränktes WLAN ist vorhanden.
Ursula und Antonio sind sehr hilfsbereite und zuvorkommende Vermieter, welche einen herzlich willkommen heissen und stets hilfsbereit zur Seite stehen wenn man Fragen oder Anliegen hat.
In der Nähe hat es viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.
Buchung, Zahlung und Dienstleistung einfach umkompliziert und zuverlässig - so wie wir es noch nie erlebt haben.
Ganz, ganz 💕HERZLiCHEN DANK 💕 liebe Ursula und Antonio für ALLES und dass IHR unseren Urlaub so absolut besonders und unvergesslich gemacht habt! Wir kommen wieder!!!! Eure CH Freunde

Belle propriété, beau séjour dans Salento...
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable à 4 dans cette propriété nichée au milieu des oliviers de Ursula et Antonio qui nous ont accueilli très chaleureusement avec de petites attentions sympathiques pour nous souhaiter la bienvenue. Le confort est maximum et Ursula est très à l'écoute du bien être de ses occupants. Énormément de choses à voir et à visiter à proximité...la piscine est très agréable et sa taille est parfaite...notre départ a été à la hauteur de notre arrivée avec les adieux chaleureux de Ursula et Antonio que nous remercions vivement. Nous recommandons vivement cette location qui offre tout le confort et le côté pratique recherchés pour passer d'agréables vacances.

Great Villa!!
We spent a fabulous week at Villa Porta d'Oriente and enjoyed our stay very much! The Villa is perfectly equipped with a modern kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The outside pool is huge and the house is surrounded by olive trees. If you want to spend some days or weeks in a really quiet Environment, the Villa will be perfect for your stay. The owners Ursula and Antonio are really pleasant and helpful, if you need anything just ask them - they will help immediately and will also give lots of clues for good restaurants.

Simplement Pouilles
L'annonce correspondait totalement à la réalité. La maison est située dans une ruelle tranquille avec des chevaux comme voisin.
Quand on se lève le matin, on a une vue splendide sur une piscine magnifique située au plein soleil jusque début de soirée et une entrée très bien entretenue avec des oliviers et des figuiers.
On a passé (2 adultes et 3 enfants) 3 superbe semaines chez Ursula et Antonio, qui n'ont jamais manqué une occasion de nous porter leur attention et nous donner de bons conseils. Pendant notre séjour, ils ont même arrangé la connexion de Wifi vers un illimité car au début ceci était un petit problème (pour ceux qui doivent travailler pendant leur vacances);)
Malgré que nous passons nos vacances principalement en Pouilles, on s'est rendu compte qu'il y avait encore beaucoup à visiter.
Un must quand on loge ici sont Lecce et Gallipoli, des coulisses merveilleux pour les amateurs de photos.
Je recommanderais cette propriété à tout le monde avec ou sans enfants cherchant le fa niente ou voyage culturel.
Ursula et Antonio - merci beaucoup pour vraiment tout !!

Sehr angenehme Ferien im schönen Apulien
Der Aufenthalt im Haus war sehr schön!
Die Gastfreundlichkeit von der Gastgeberin und ihrem Mann war sehr herzlich! 😊
Es hat uns an nicht gefehlt. Sehr ruhige und erholsame Lage!!! 👍🏼😉
Einzige mini Details die vielleicht zu bemängeln wären:
Das limitierte Wifi und das nicht permanente warme/lauwarme Wasser in der Dusche. So wars erfrischend 😎
