Ceglie Messapica Castle of Ceglie Messapica Hotels

"The property was clean and well stocked. Smaller than we anticipated but we were only 2 people, the 7 it’s advertised for might be somewhat cramped. The pool was very nice but too cold to use unfortunately."

"The place was just beautiful! the main building/trulli was very nice and comfortable. The outdoor kitchen was great as a community space. One night we had a chef cook us dinner, but it was quite cold, so we used the indoor kitchen which worked out fine. We did not use the beautiful pool as we are from Florida and it was too cold for our taste. The grounds were impeckable.The area is very quiet and located between several towns, Ostuni the closest. La Famila Superstore is 11 minutes away and has almost everything you could need. You definitely need a car.We had a couple of issues with the gate malfunctioning, but Giovanna was on it quickly and Lorenzo came out and fixed the issues.She is a great hostess!"

"Beautiful updated property . Full Kitchen . Air conditioning and Wifi worked well . Host is generous and friendly Provided welcome torte , fruits and local products gifted to us - He was VERY helpful . We are considering returning !!!"

"Great to stay in iconic trulli with lovely outdoor space and pool. Rural location but only 10 minutes drive to Ceglie,& Martina Franca and 30 minutes to Ostuni.Stefano, the owner, was incredibly helpful."

"Even two weeks after returning from our stay at The Bougainvillea we are still thinking about our wonderful stay.Antonio is a superb host in every way, giving us practical information about all areas in Puglia, where to go and even best places to park ! His kindness and generosity throughout our stay was second to none and Kor (his ever present canine assistant) was an adorable dog :).The apartment was spotlessly clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the range of outdoor spaces and fabulous pool.We very much look forward to returning again soon."

"Great place"

"This is an ideal property to spend time with a family. We had 11 in our party and there were comfortable accommodations for all. ( Three separate houses in a gated property.) The younger children especially enjoyed the pool area as did the adults in the shade with refreshments. The property is beautiful and well kept and Roberto couldn't have been nicer. Staying in a trulli house really gave us a feeling of southern Italy as it might have been in the 19 hundreds with modern touches added. We would book this property again. We also enjoyed Bianca, the outside dog and the cat that we rarely saw."

"We have just returned from our two week holiday at this authentic Trullo and villa. We were greeted by Roberta who showed us around the property. She was also just a phone call away if needed. When we ran out of gas in the kitchen Roberta was straight round with a replacement bottle. The property has everything you need for your holiday. Jo even supplies beach/pool towels and cool bags for days out. There are two well stocked kitchens and two bathrooms. The property is situated on a large plot with mature shrubs, olive fig pine and almond trees. The back veranda was a great place to eat and sit in the evening listening to scips and long earned owls. The large pool was fantastic after a day touring. It is surounded by lovely flowers which attracted a large amount of butterflies. The outdoor furniture is of good quality. The was always somewhere to sit in the sun or shade at all times of the day. There is a well stocked supermarket just a few minutes drive away. The wonderfull town of Ceglie is just a few miles, where the are some fabulous places to eat and wander through the alleys. The property is well situated to visit all the lovely towns of the Itria valley, they are only 20- 40 minutes drive. The beaches can be reached in 20 minutes, Matera is only 1.5hrs drive. If you should see the maintenance and cleaning people they were pleasant and courteous. I would not hesitate to recommend this property if you are looking to book your holiday in this region of Puglia. "

"I can neither fault this villa, nor its owners.It’s a beautiful place to stay, clean, lovely pool with access to so many Italian beauty spots. The owners were so warm, welcoming and incredibly kind & helpful. If you’re considering a holiday in Puglia, then look no further."
