Lovely villa in a great location

We very much enjoyed our stay at Eric’s villa. The pool area is wonderful, the kitchen well-equipped and the villa is perfectly situated to visit places of interest in Puglia. Electricity a little temperamental but not a problem. Would have appreciated a top sheet on the beds. All in all, a great stay

Lovely house in calm area

Very nice house with a great pool. Three bed room with aircon, full kitchen, big garden. The area is quiet with about 3 km to the nearest town. A car is recommended. San Vito dei Normanni is a very local town with few turists, if you like this. We can only recommend to stay in Villa Puglia Sogno.

Awesome villa in magnificent setting.

We have just returned from the villa and we enjoyed every minute of our holiday. The villa exceeded all of our expectations and it seemed as though no detail had been overlooked. We spent a lot of time in the pool which is one of the largest we've ever had. The use of the e-bikes is such a great touch as there are many quiet country roads and trails around. Erik is the ultimate host who we can't praise enough, from his kind offer of early check in/late check out to considerate communications. I would recommend this villa to anyone!

Wonderful Holiday

Excellent Villa, it is in a great location with the wonderful town of San Vito only 30 minutes walk. The Villa is very well equipped with all you need for your stay. We spent 8 weeks here and loved it. The e-bikes were fantastic fun and enabled us to discover the local area. The outside of the Villa has so many areas to enjoy the sun and the pool. Beautiful place for a holiday.

Wonderful villa, fantastic pool. Very helpful owner.

The pool is brilliant - a lovely size. The villa is great... better than the pictures and far more spacious than we imagined. Jackie was brilliant. Very helpful.. showing us a local wine store and booking the best restaurant in town for us. Overall a very good holiday.

Lovely villa, great size pool

Lovely property in quiet road of other villas but completely private. Great pool that is a really good size so you can have a decent swim. Possible to walk to town if you wish but a car is definitely required generally. Great base to explore the area. Hosts very communicative and helpful. Highly recommend.

Relaxing in the Puglian countryside

We had a great time staying in San Vito. Perfect place to relax by the pool or go exploring the amazing countryside. We took trips to Matera, Ostuni, Lecce and visited Monopoli on our way to our next stop. Lovely pool area with several sitting areas. Soacious interior with a well equipped kitchen. Erik was great to communicate with before and during our stay and left some welcoming treats for us. Wish we could have stayed longer as feel we only scratched the surface of Puglia!

Beautiful villa

We had such a lovely time at villa Grace.... despite the weather being unusually wet for September. Jackie was great, meeting us the day we arrived, and later that day drove back and led us on a tour of all the important points in town..... The most important one being the amazing wine shop. Oh so cheap!! The villa is well equipped, and the outside area amazing. So much room, and the pool is huge. Lots to do in the area, and various restaurants in St. Vito. Ex fadda our favourite for cornetist and cappacino and Locanda Nonna Mena our fav restaurant. Many Thanks Jackie, Vincenzo and Grace. Lovely to meet you all.

Beautiful villa in a lovely part of Italy

We all loved the villa and were very sad to leave. We were very lucky with the weather 33 in the day and 23 at night so the pool got the most use, we spent many a happy hour cooling off in the pool and playing ball. We had a short ride on the electric bikes, just up the lane near the house and we definitely would have used them more if it had been cooler. The villa is more spacious than it looks on the photos and there was plenty of space for 5 adults. The outdoor area is huge with lots of different seating areas. My favourite part of the villa was it's character and that it had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable holiday. The villa is in an ideal position to discover Puglia. We visited Lecce (my favourtie) Ostuni, Alberobello (my husbands favourite), Brindisi and Polignino. The towns have such varied characters that we each had our own favourites. A special thank you to Eric who messaged us to tell us the England v Netherlands Euro 24 semi final was being shown in San Vito main square. It was a very enjoyable night and it was kind of Eric to think of us. I would love to return one day.

Nice house - great garden/pool area!

Overall it's a really nice home! It has a lot of charm and it's very clean. The pool area and the cactus garden are VERY nice !! The owner and manager are very quick to respond to requests. There's many amenities that we appreciated: ping pong table, bikes et basketball ring. The only thing that refrains us from giving it a 5* all around is the kitchen ( a bit dated) and the cooking heat sources. Neither the gaz stove top, the mini oven nor the outside grill were easy/efficient to use. But would definitely recommend if you don't feel like cooking much :-) The other ting to consider, for people with reduce mobility, there are many stairs in the house.

A perfect Italian escape

From the moment we arrived, till the moment we left, this was the perfect getaway. Our flight wasn’t due into Brindisi until late and Eric helped us hire a car in advance which was waiting for us at arrivals. Only a short drive from the airport and we arrived at the villa where we were greeted with a welcome card and bottle of wine which was much appreciated. We’d already had a welcome pack emailed to us so we knew exactly how to get into the property and how to find everything. The bedrooms are cool with the air conditioning and the beds and pillows are super comfortable. There is a shower upstairs and a bath downstairs. The kitchen is well equipped. The entire place was spotlessly clean. The pool and surrounding area with loungers is perfect with plenty of seating areas and parasols if you needed to get shade from the sun. Eric was quick to respond to any WhatsApp messages we sent and was very helpful with restaurant recommendations etc. Our favourite restaurant in the area was a 10 minute bike ride away called Ristolio - one to try for definite. Amazing food in the most beautiful outdoor setting under the olive trees. I can’t fault this place at all. If you’re looking for a family sized villa in a great location to explore the area then look no further. Just make sure you have a car!! Great places to visit are Lecce, Ostuni, Locorotondo, and our personal favourite Alberobello.

Villa parfaite pour un séjour dans les Pouilles

La villa est parfaite pour un séjour dans les Pouilles. Spacieuse, joliment décorée, très bien équipée. Rien ne manque dans la villa pour passer des vacances idéales en famille. La villa semble loin de tout alors qu'elle est à deux pas de la ville. Il y a de belles plages à proximité et les plus beaux sites incroyables des Pouilles. De bons restaurants (mention spéciale pour la Locanda di Nonna Mena). L'hôte est très réactif et veille à ce que le séjour se passe bien. Enfin, que des dires des extérieurs ? Juste que la piscine est sublime dans un cadre enchanteur.

Een heerlijke plek om te verblijven

Met zijn indrukwekkende oprijlaan, flinke binnen- en buitenruimte en grote zwembad is Villa Puglia Sogno een heerlijke plek om te verblijven. Het huis was schoon en de bedden waren keurig opgemaakt. De 3 slaapkamers boven hebben airco. De keuken is compleet uitgerust en heeft een grote koelkast. Buiten en binnen is de Wifi hartstikke goed. De omgeving is rustig. Wel zijn er andere huizen in de buurt, maar op voldoende afstand. Buiten kun je heerlijk BBQ-en, basketballen, tafeltennissen en vooral genieten van het grote zwembad met heerlijke ligbedden. Tip is om de locatie te bereiken via ‘Via Mare’, dan vlak voor of na de rotonde het weggetje in met het bordje ‘Villa Puglia Sogno’. Verder is de eigenaar, Eric, goed bereikbaar.

Beautiful villa with fantastic pool

We have rented several villas in Italy. This one was beautifully decorated and had the most comfy beds of any villa we have stayed in. The pool was wonderful, and we really appreciated the outdoor furniture and sturdy sun loungers which all had new cushions. The villa was a real home from home and had everything you could possibly need. It was very private but only a short drive from supermarkets. The villa is ideally situated as a base for exploring beautiful Puglia. Every village and town in the area has a pretty historic centre so don't just visit places mentioned in the guide books! I highly recommend the villa and hope to return!

About the host

Hosted by Eric Verkerk

Host profile image
We are a Dutch couple with two adult-sons, that have just acquired this great property for our own use and for a few rentals per year (just to cover the cost, we are not about exploiting the property to the max).

We modernised it completely (feb22) , with new interior , furniture, beds, etc. and are still making more improvements to make it even nicer.

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location..... its close enough to walk to town but it feels secluded and private because its on a dead end road with no thru traffic. You can reach the beaches and highway access in 7 km and town is 1.5km to the main road.

What makes this property unique

You have all the comfort and privacy you wish for to stay at the casa, but you are close enough to all nice places, towns, beaches that Puglia has to offer.

we provide for a lot of extra benefits, free or charge. like the 2 mountainbikes and 2 electric bikes, a pingpong table, a basketbal hoop, but also free wifi, free netflix, viaplay for formule 1, and free canal+ . Just how we would like it ourselves.

We are happy to invite you to be our guests.
