"Just wanted to pass on what a lovely stay we had at L’Oleandro. It’s such as special place, thoughtfully renovated and in a beautiful area of Puglia. The pizza chef evening was a huge success, a treat for us grown ups and the kids too. Thank you and the rest of Relax Puglia team for helping to make our holiday such a positive one. An extra special thank you to the Halloween fairies that provided decorations, accessories and sweets for the 31st, it was very thoughtful of you!"

Absolutely wonderful stay..

"Absolutely wonderful stay in a truly peaceful and secluded little haven near the town of Cisternino.
Colleen was responsive at all times, and was a wonderful host. The house looks exactly like the pictures, and you have everything you need. We were welcomes to the villa by a select of Italian food, snacks, drinks (including oat milk!) which meant that the first evening you can just get to the house and relax! We enjoyed a beautiful holiday by the pool, and would stay here again! An total gem of a house."

Beautiful private family trullo..

"Beautiful private family trullo, at the top of a narrow road with lovely views.We enjoyed the outdoor areas particularly the lounge seating at the front and the pizza oven. The pool was gorgeous and well maintained. Colleen at relax Puglia was very helpful, the chef we booked for two nights was great, we had a pizza night where our children got to help make them and a fish night, both were delicious. We enjoyed the gift basket too and repurchased some of the things we enjoyed
We used a few restaurants from the recommendations and they were excellent. The local area is lovely, we tried restaurants in Cisternino, Casalini and Ostuni. We also visited Torre canne beach, Alberobello and Monopoli which were great.
We wished we had more time here and would come back again. Thanks to Colleen for looking after us and Bas for sharing your lovely home."

"Villa Perego is a lovely space set in beautiful countryside, although close enough to some of the main towns that one would wish to visit. The pool is a lovely clean space which is exclusively for use by guests of the villa. There was a much appreciated basket of goodies when we arrived which was a very nice touch. Colleen was very responsive throughout our stay. We would definitely stay again and can recommend to others."

"We had a wonderful time in Puglia! Colleen is a welcoming host, kind and always available as needed. The accommodation is impeccable, very well maintained, and the exteriors… beautiful! It's a very nice peaceful place where you can feel good. The accommodation is very well located (a few minutes drive from Cisternino, about ten minutes from Alborebello, Locorontodo,...).
We were hosted very well by Colleen with a beautiful basket filled with Italian specialties from chickens as well as a fridge also filled with very good things! No complaints, you can go there without a second thought! 😁
A big thank you to Colleen & Stefano!"

Ray - Trullo Cantalanotte (May 2024)

It has been the best..

"It has been the best self catering place we have ever been to. The food in the hamper and fridge was so helpful when we arrived late at night. It was so kind of Colleen to provide a puzzle for our three year old daughter.
Our three year old daughter says "I liked the swimming pool, the compost heap and watching Daddy put things on the compost heap. I liked the steps." We had such a special first holiday with our daughter and hope we will be back."
Andrew - Stefano's Villa (September 2023)

Our stay was magical..

"Our stay was magical! The villa, pool, and views were amazing - especially at the back of the villa. Colleen (the property manager) was an absolute pleasure to work with and highly responsive and accommodating. She arranged for a private chef for our first night, and it was worth it! The villa is very central to all the picturesque towns in Puglia. Highly recommend visiting Matera, Ostuni, and Alberobello and hiring Michele as a guide (he was Colleen’s recommendation and he made our visit come alive with his depth and breadth of knowledge of Puglia’s history and sites). The villa’s kitchen is well stocked, beds and rooms are comfy with AC, and the salt water pool is refreshing! Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes come out at night. There was citronella candles at the villa which helped. Thank you Colleen for a very memorable stay!"
Joy - Trullo nella Pineta (August 2023)

We went with..

"We went with our four children and my daughter’s boyfriend. The Trullo, was absolutely beautiful and so tastefully renovated . The hosts gave us a very warm welcome and couldn’t do enough to help us. They booked our resteraunts, E-bikes and various other recommendations. The kitchen was very well stocked when we arrived and we had a really relaxing and fun time. We’d highly recommend going to Puglia"
Sharon - Trullo Oleandro (August 2023)

Thank you Colleen..

"Thank you Colleen for such a lovely wonderful stay.The villa was beautiful, even more so than the photos! There was so much space to relax and enjoy the beautiful property. We were very sad to leave at the end of our stay, we had had such a wonderful time and would absolutely come again.
The villa was spotless, well equipped, and with lovely bathrooms. The outdoor space was fantastic and we enjoyed relaxing by the pool each day and al fresco lunches.
We particularly appreciated the generous basket of food essentials from Colleen which kept us going overnight after a very delayed flight! Small touches such as these, and the comprehensive local area guide, made all the difference. Thank you so much once again Colleen!"
Georgina - Stefano's villa (July 2023)

A wonderful Trullo..

"A wonderful trullo, beutifully renovated and a peaceful location. Bas was very responsive and his local agent, Colleen, was equally helpful. Colleen was always available to answer questions concerning the apartment, location and restaurants. She also helpfully booked taxis for us. I would 100% reccomend and hope to be back one day!"

"This place is such a jem! It is so beautiful, even more than the pictures! The location is very central; 15-20 min away from so many cute little towns. They had a lot of great recommendations and even arranged a private chef for us which was absolutely amazing! We had the most memorable time there and would love to go back some day! We had the best vacation, thank you!!!!!!!!"
Amy - Trullo nella Pineta (June 2023)

Trullo nella Pineta was..

"Trullo Nella Pineta was an absolutely wonderful place for a holiday for our family of four adults. Everything was so well appointed; each room was very comfortable and with all the necessary amenities and a bit of luxury with the linens and the toiletries. The kitchen was made for cooking with all the equipment you would ever need. The outdoor space was so inviting as well; the salt water pool was refreshing and always clean. There is plenty of spaces to relax either in the sun or the shade and the dining table was covered and a perfect place for meals at any time of the day. The location was perfect; the area around the trullo was peaceful at all times but well placed to access all of the lovely towns around (Martina Franca, Cisternino, Locorotondo and Albert bello all within 30 minutes drive or less). The beaches of either coast are also a short drive away. The agents were excellent in their communication and welcome. We were met and shown all of the delights of the trullo by Antonella and she and Colleen were always available by WhatsApp for any queries we may have, either about the collection of the recycling or recommendations for places to eat in the local towns. Colleen made sure to check up with us to see if everything was okay after a dramatic thunderstorm rolled through. We were very happy with everything about our stay and wished we didn't have to leave! Highly recommended for a genuine and luxurious taste of the delights of Puglia."
Anne - Trullo nella Pineta (August 2022)

Fantastic villa in the..

"Fantastic villa in the heart Puglia. Beautiful villa with many indoor and outdoor seating options, perfect for a family or a group of friends. Loved the outdoor kitchen. Great pool with amazing views and comfortable lounge chairs. Villa is even more beautiful than the pictures on the website. Colleen and her team do an amazing job in making your stay as comfortable as possible, 5-star service!"
Kasper - Casale Maison Blanche (July 2022)

We loved our stay..

"We loved our stay at Petra and Marcus's place. The outdoor spaces are a particular highlight. Great communication from the property management team and lovely to have a treat hamper on a arrival and a clean halfway through our 2 week stay. They also helped us to organise a private chef for one night which was brilliant."
Nicola - Trullo nella Pineta (June 2022)

Amazing place..

"Amazing place. The deoration, amenities and facilities are some of the best we've found on Airbnb. Bas was very helpful in the lead up to the stay and Colleen who manages the property was amazing. Met us late after a delayed flight and even did a shop for us so we had food upon arrival. Organised a taxi into town for a meal one evening and generally very attentive and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend staying in this beautiful place (close to some amazing towns via car)! Thanks for having us!"
Danny - Trullo Oleandro (June 2022)

Our group stayed here..

"Our group stayed here for a wedding in Ostuni and it was perfect! The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need for coking a delicious meal. The property manager, Colleen, is awesome and picked up some stuff for us at the store because our flight was super delayed. She was very helpful and answered all our questions in the weeks leading up to our trip. The house is definitely off the beaten path, but it worked well for us as were attending a wedding near by. I would for sure stay here again! The pool is fabulous!"
Tana - Trullo Oleandro (June 2022)

Villa Perego is a gem...

Yi&Olof - Villa Perego (June 2022)

Spectacular...

"Spectacular Airbnb where historic charm meets mod-coms. The property was spectacular and immaculately clean. The pool was pristine, salt watered and one of the best I have ever swam in. The hospitality was also fantastic with a lovely welcoming hamper which also included item to accomodate one of our parties food allergies. The finishing touches in this Airbnb put it a cut above, with evertything you need in the kitchen, great shower products and luxury towels! Colleen and Antonella were so helpful throughout and were always quick to respond to querce before and during our stay. Overall a fantastic experience and many tanks again to our hosts for making us so comfortable."
Adil - Trullo nella Pineta (June 2022)

A true paradise...

"A true paradise! After driving up the hill, the perfect paradise unfolds at the top… The most stylish, comfortable and beautiful place to enjoy a wonderful holiday with family and friends.
The house itself is fully equipped and more than that, and the outdoor areas and terraces are made so pleasant, there is a perfect spot for every moment of the day. A lovely salt water pool to cool down and relax. A beautiful garden with olives and fruit trees and... there is a bbq and pizza oven, great! On top of all this there is that magnificent view over Itria valley. Trullo L'Oleandro is a true paradise.
Thank you Colleen and Antonella for the perfect service, we will definitely be back!"
Monique - Trullo L'Oleandro (May 2022)

The trullo was...

"The trullo was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Ostuni. The house had everything and more, from the welcome basket to the best smelling towels and sheets! The property is an absolute oasis and we wish we didn’t have to leave."
Courtney - Trullo L'Oleandro (May 2022)

A wonderful time in Puglia...

"We had a wonderful time in Puglia! Wonderful region!
Our villa was beyond our expectations: fantastic view, well equipped kitchen, good beds, perfect airconditioning in the rooms and a terrific pool! The staff is really top: very friendly and always ready to help and to assist. Puglia and Relax Puglia is highly recommended"
Oliver, Patricia, Alexander & Justine - Villa Perego (July 2021)

Many beautiful beaches...

Relax Puglia delivers again. Thanks Colleen for a smooth check-in and for the lovely basket of local goodies. Villa Perego is a modern, tasteful, spacious and airy 2 bedroom villa with everything you’ll need for your stay. The effective air con in the bedroom(s) was very welcome in temperatures of 30 degrees . A dining terrace with a wonderful view of the fantastic pool and surrounding landscape makes alfresco dining very pleasant (if a little breezy when we were there). Rubbish/recycling was very well managed with easy to follow instructions and regular collections which is great to see.

Superb location...

Superb location , especially convenient for the delightful town of Cisternino. Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica are only a short drive away. (you will need a car). A great base to explore the delights on offer in this fantastic region. We ventured further down into the Salento and the helpful maps and recommendations from the Villa came in very handy especially when it came to exploring the many beautiful beaches.
We would highly recommend this Villa and will return. Thanks again Relax Puglia!
Lindsay & Jason (Bath, UK) - Villa Perego - (Stayed Sept 2020)

Highly recommended...

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Trullo nella Pineta. The house is spacious and was perfect for our family of 5 (3 teenagers), clean, fully-equipped with a great kitchen, pool and outdoor eating area. The location is great – situated between Ostuni and Martina Franca and not far from other beautiful towns like Locorotundo and costal destinations like Monopoli and Poligano a Mare. Colleen made our stay super easy and welcomed us with a basket of Pugliese specialties, ham, cheese and wine which we very much appreciated after a long journey and booked us a boat excursion where all we had to do was just show up at the port. Highly recommended!
Jo and Co. - Trullo nella Pineta (Sept 2020) - Switzerland/UK

A beautiful and peaceful trullo...

"We are on our way south with some sadness - a beautiful and peaceful trullo and we've much enjoyed getting to know this area of Puglia. But excited to discover the south. Thanks again for everything you've done to help make our stay so memorable"
Hearn Family - Trullo nella Pineta (August 2020) - United kingdom

Alles tip-top sauber...

"Wir sind seit 6 Jahren in Apulien und dies ist mit Abstand das schönste Haus das wir je hatten. Alles ist neu. Der Pool wird 2x pro Woche. Abfallbeseitigung ist gut geregelt. Super Organisation von Collen Boot. Sehr ruhige Lage. Alles tip-top sauber. Wir kommen wieder !!"

We loved our stay...

"We loved our stay at Villa Perego - such a beautiful villa in a remote location; it was so peaceful and the views stunning. The grounds are well maintained with olive trees, rosemary and lavender bushes everywhere so the scent is divine. The pool was fantastic and the perfect place to lie back and relax. The villa was sparkling clean and tastefully decorated with plenty of room for our family of 4. The welcome hamper, fridge filled with fresh ham, cheese, eggs and mozzarella plus wine was most welcome and the cupboards were stocked with plenty of ingredients like teabags, sugar and condiments.
You could start your holiday as soon as you entered the villa - everything we needed was there. Location is excellent with Cisterno really close by and our favourite town of Martina Franca. Thank you Colleen for being so helpful and providing us with reassurance for our trip throughout the preceding months. We adore Puglia and wish we could have our very own villa just like Perego!"
Feldmar Family - Villa Perego (July 2020) - United Kingdom

Wonderful Villa Perego...

"With a very heavy and sad heart we left wonderful Villa Perego. We immediately fell in love with this outstanding house and it‘s beautiful surroundings. It felt like our own home during our stay. We will miss it very much and hope to come back soon! Thank you so much for welcoming us so warmly. "
Nathalie & Niggi plus Kids - Villa Perego (July 2020) - Switzerland

This property is gorgeous...

"This property is gorgeous. More than enough space to comfortably sleep 6, could probably fit 8 if people were comfortable sleeping on the couches. The host is fabulous, amazing and quick communication, a property manager to help with any questions you have during the stay, always available. They left us a basket of local food and wine upon arrival (a blessing after a very long trip) which was delicious. The kitchen comes equipped with the essentials (including fresh eggs & milk left for us by our host) and anything you might need to cook a large meal. The bedrooms were gorgeous, complementary shampoo/soap/etc. which was really nice. And the property itself is fabulous, nestled in an olive grove on a hill, an absolutely breathtaking stay. Would absolutely recommend, one of my favorite air bnbs I’ve stayed in to date. Tip: wouldn’t come here without renting a car! It’s so helpful to have during your stay."
Chelsea O. - Trullo nella Pineta (September 2019 - Guest through Airbnb website)

Our stay was absolutely magical...

"Our stay was absolutely magical. Colleen who manages the property was incredible, she helped us book some amazing places to eat and explore. The trullo is remote and a bit off grid which is exactly what we were looking for. The pool is wonderful (no chlorine) and the whole ethos of the house is contagious. The little extras are a joy and really I cannot rave about this place enough. I hope everyone who stays there treads lightly and keeps it as beautiful as they find it."
Lucy & co. - Trullo nella Pineta (August 2019 - Guest through Airbnb website) - United Kingdom

What a wonderful place...

"Dear Colleen, just a quick note to say that we have had an absolutely wonderful time at Villa Perego and will be sorry to move on tomorrow. Many thanks to you and your colleagues for your kind welcome to both the villa and also to this part of Italy, which we have absolutely fallen in love with and will definately return. Also, Id be grateful if you could please pass on our thanks to the owners of Villa Perego – we think it is absolutely delightful and has added to our enjoyment of our holiday immeasurably. What a wonderful place for some R&R and as a base for exploring the delights of Puglia. BTW, I hadnt realised that you were rather a celebrity in these parts. In my holiday reading downloads is a book called Soul of the Heel by Scott Bergstein, in which it appears you play a bit of a starring role! Many thanks once again. I really hope that we will be back again soon! "
Clift & co. - Villa Perego (July 2019 - Through our partners James Villas) - United Kingdom

Spectacular part of Italy...

"A beautiful place to stay in a spectacular part of Italy. Colleen & Antonella communicated clearly & regurarly, making our arrival easy. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch & helped us settle in. The house is well appointed, spacious & very clean. It was lovely to be able to relax by the pool in our own space. Visits by the local cats enchanted our daughter! Thank you! ♥"
