Our stay at Villa Malia was nothing short of magical. Visiting Puglia for the first time with friends to explore our family roots, we couldnât have imagined a more perfect home base. From the very first message, Teresaâs warmth, thoughtfulness, and attentiveness set the tone for an unforgettable experience.The villa itself is simply stunning â beautifully maintained, comfortable, and exuding charm in every corner. The photos donât do it justice. Teresa went above and beyond in every way: she prepared a heavenly homemade cake for breakfast, stocked the kitchen with morning essentials, and surprised us with an incredible selection of local delicacies â salami, prosciutto, cheeses â all carefully chosen to showcase the regionâs flavors. Since we were arriving late, she even took care of grocery shopping for us, making settling in effortless and so welcoming.The location is truly unbeatable â just a stoneâs throw from Polignano a Mare and perfectly positioned to explore the beauty of Puglia. Whether you want to wander charming towns, explore the coast, or savor regional cuisine, Villa Malia is the perfect home base for it all.Teresa and Vito are extraordinary hosts who make you feel completely at home. This stay was one of the most memorable weâve ever had, and we cannot wait to return.
