Holiday in a comfortable and renovated ancient villa
An ancient two-floor villa surrounded by a garden park, a pinewood and a beautiful swimming pool with outdoor spaces under the shade (Includes BBQ area). The house has five bedroom and four bathrooms, two living rooms (1 with sofa beds) with fireplaces, and a large fully equipped kitchen. Two bedrooms are furnished with queen beds, one with one queen and a single bed, one with 2 single beds and one with a single bed, plus a living room with 1 queen sofa bed and 1 single sofa bed are available, for a total of 12 (+1) people. It includes wi-fi, a flat TV and a charming second floor terrace.
Matera, a town nearby, is the 2019 European capital of culture! The perfect place to visit an experience the Mediterranean and Puglian culture.
The Villla is next to the town of Mottola: A small town on a hill with an ancient medieval center. You can find all types of services, shops, supermarkets, banks, bars, restaurants and churches on this small town (3 min away by car)
The surroundings: Alberobello, an Unesco world heritage site, is just an hour away from the house. Other impressive cultural sites include the medieval legacy of Castel Del Monte in Andria, the beautiful cathedral of Trani, or the charming old center of the port-city of Taranto. Many other worthwhile destinations are: Barletta, Ruvo di Puglia, Martina Franca, Matera, Monopoli, Ostuni (all between 30 min to 2 hour away).
Natural sites: The "Parco Regionale della Terra delle Gravine" is just minutes away from the property, good for sightseeing the natural landscape of the region with the archaeological sites in between the calcareous rock formations. Farther away (about an hour away) you can deep yourself into the grand caves "Grotte di Castellana" or even go for a safari at the Fasano Zoo.
Beaches (golf and horse riding): The nearest beach is Castellaneta Marina, at about 15-20 minutes' drive on the Ionean coast. A beautiful Mediterranean beach, preserving its natural dune system, and where you can find horse riding and golf amenities close by. On the East, the Adriatic coast is just 40 min away, filled with many other turquoise water beaches.
We loved the place. It is spacious and surrounded by trees. It is very central. Pino kept us well-supplied with logs for all three fireplaces. There are some minor inconveniences: hot water tends to be intermittent upstrairs while internet reception is hopeless (except in sitting room) though that seems to be the case in the whole georgraphical area. We still recommend it highly
Die Unterkunft ist romantisch und sehr groĂrĂ€umig. Dies betrifft den Garten, besser Park und die Unterkunft. Wir haben den Aufenthaltsraum der wie ein Rittersaal wirkte kaum genutzt. Ăberall ist viel Platz. Aus der rustikalen KĂŒĂŒche kann man direkt in den Garten treten. Der Turm ist 800 Jahre alt. Einfach romantisch. Peppino, der Hausmeister ist goldig und stĂ€ndig bemĂŒhrt und hilft mit Rat und Tat. Er spricht allerdings nur italienisch was wir auch getan haben. Es gibt aber auch eine paar Mankos. Ohne Klimaanlage nur mit Ventilatoren ist es im Hochsommer in der Nacht vor allem in den Turmzimmern schon grenzwertig schwierig. Direkt unter dem Schlazimmer im Anbau brummt das Hauswasserwerk sobald jemand auf die Toilette geht. In der Nacht ist das einfach zu laut. Die Strasse vor dem Haus ist ab morgens ordentlich frequentiert aber sie stellt aufgrund der EinzĂ€unung fĂŒr Kinder keine Gefahr dar. Manche Matratzen dĂŒrften etwas besser sein. Ein tatsĂ€chlich groĂes Problem war der Pool, sauber aber sauer. Es brannte in den Augen und die Haut war gereizt. Dann half nur Cortisonsalbe. Peppino hat alles erdenkliche versucht aber es half nichts. Hier muĂ unbedingt Abhilfe geschaffen werden. Alles in allem eine schnuckeliges Anwesen wo man niemanden stören kann. Wenn einen der lange Weg zum Meer nicht stört, was man ja bei der Buchung weiss und bei einigen Dinge die fĂŒr den SĂŒden nicht untypisch sind ist es prima. Aufgrund der genannten Mankos dĂŒrfte der Preis etwas gĂŒnstiger sein.
La Torre holiday house near Mottola in Puglia was a great place to stay. It was a lovely old house, set in large peaceful grounds, with a great swimming pool.
The house was spacious and well-equipped and each room was provided with good quality fans to ensure more comfortable sleep in the summer heat.
The town of Mottola was just a short 5-minute car ride away and had easy access to supermarkets, traditional shops, restaurants and pizzerias.
The host was responsive to communication through messaging on Vrbo, and the care-taker, Pepino, was quickly on hand to help with any problems or questions. Pepino was very friendly and made us feel most welcome at La Torre.
We definitely want to return next year!
What a sensatonal place, the pictures didn't do it justice. My family and I as well as extended family loved the house, swimming pool and grounds.
Thank you for allowing us into your beautiful home.
A really lovely rustic Italian villa in a great location for visiting surrounding area. The dogs loved the extensive gardens. We had a fantastic stay.
However, this is an old villa; it needs some attention. Particularly the showers and the cooker. We got used to the noise from the busy road being there for so long.
Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr schön, leider stört der stĂ€ndige AutolĂ€rm der direkt am Haus vorbei fĂŒhrenden SchnellstraĂe. Die SpielgerĂ€ten fĂŒr die Kinder im Garten sind leider sehr ungepflegt und teilweise defekt, sogar sehr gefĂ€hrlich fĂŒr die Kinder.
Was uns aber wirklich sehr gestört hat sind die BĂ€der, leider konnten wir aufgrund starker GeruchsbelĂ€stigung ein Bad ĂŒberhaupt nicht benutzen und bei zwei anderen BĂ€dern kam nur sehr spĂ€rlich Wasser an der Dusche, ein angenehmes Duschen war leider nicht möglich.
Auch waren die Fugen in der Duschen ziemlich verschimmelt und eine Toilette ist gar nicht richtig abgeflossen.
Aber der Pool ist supertoll đ, immer sauber und ordentlich gepflegt von Peppino.
Die Villa ist auch sehr schön eingerichtet mit vielen alten Möbeln.
Wenn die BĂ€der renoviert wĂ€ren wĂ€re das die perfekte Ferienvilla fĂŒr unsere groĂe Familie.
the house is lovely: lots of character, nice big kitchen and lots of bedrooms. Also the outdoor facilities are charming : big pool and beautiful garden. But the house is situated near a very busy SS-road, day and night traffic noise. The occupants of the bedrooms in the "tower"definitely needed earplugs to sleep....
Still we had a wonderful week, Mottola is a charming city with good and affordable restaurants.
Erholsamer Aufenthalt in einer alten Villa mit schönem Pool
Ăltere Villa auf einem sehr groĂen GrundstĂŒck gelegen.
SanitÀr Anlagen sind in die Jahre gekommen.
AushĂ€ngeschild der Villa ist mit Sicherheit der groĂe Pool.
A really charming, family friendly home offering both indoor and outdoor comfort! The home was really well equipped to meet all our needs. The pool and shaded outdoor areas were the highlight for our family (the sunshine helped of course). Our family of 7 were very comfortable in this lovely home. The caretaker, Pepino was a gentleman and most helpful. We made day trips to Matera, Noci, Alberobello and our location was perfect for this. We would recommend highly.
We spent one of the best holidays in our lives in this house. A house with history and a unique atmosphere, a large swimming pool and an even larger garden. Close to the surrounding towns (Taranto, Martina Franca, Alberobello). The lack of wine glasses, salt and pepper and dishwasher tablets could be a bit of a problem. The water in the pool is clean, but probably contains too many chemicals (goggles are recommended). You can hear the traffic, but it does not disturb your rest.
This is a large restful property in a lovely peaceful setting with a great pool, deep enough for diving at one end. It is close to Mottola which has supermarkets, as tourist information office and some excellent eateries. ( Try the Pizzaria in the town centre. It's excellent).We had a very restful family time at this traditional villa. Peppino, the caretaker was an absolute star, and always very helpful and clear, despite having to communicate with us via a translator app. The many rooms are well prepared by Dominica, the housekeeper, and we really enjoyed her home made cheeses too. The bedrooms have comfortable beds and bedding, and the villa's kitchen is well equipped. Both she and Peppino were there to greet us and very welcoming.
The only drawbacks were that the place is somewhat tired , and would benefit from attention to the quirky electrics. Also the water is lovely and hot in the showers, but in some the water pressure is pretty weak. When you first arrive it's a little difficult to find the back entrance, which you have to drive into to reach the property. Tip: It's very soon after the first 'road hump' sign on the road from Mottola to Noci, just after the white gates of another property. By the way, currently the cot is not available (Sept 2022), so take a travel cot if you have an infant.
The nearby beaches are fantastic, the little 'white' trulli towns most picturesque, and the pine forests great for a shady stroll. The Grottes at Castelaneta are well worth a visit too. We very much enjoyed our week at La Torre.
A great location to explore the region. Wonderful winery tour, beach visits, and seeing Matera and Ostuni. We got a taxi from Bari to mottola and used La dolce vita Noleggio Auto for our car hire. They were so helpful, even showed us the way to La Torre, and recommended local restaurants and a gelateria, both worth the visit. La Torre could do with a little TLC. The house, gardens and pool are all brilliant, but the beds are not the most comfortable and the fans in the upstairs bedrooms are very clunky and noisy. I did, however, live the rustic feel to the place, and Pepino deserves a mention for his efforts in getting us into the property and sorting out a problem that arose with the wifi
Wunderschöne Villa eingebettet in einen schönen Garten mit traumhaften Swimmingpool! Das ursprĂŒngliche Anwesen atmet Geschichte und an die angrenzende StraĂe gewöhnt man sich sehr schnell. Der Service von Peppino (Besorgung von Fisch oder Fleisch und Tippgeber fĂŒr Sightseeingtouren) ist besonders herzlich. Und jeden Mittwoch erhĂ€lt man frische, selbstgemachte Milchprodukte - ein Traum! Besonders herzlicher Kontakt mit Besitzerin des Anwesens Vielen Dank fĂŒr den wunderschönen Urlaub!
A family holiday for 10 in a fantastic villa.
Very spacious with great facilities and furnishings. Absolutely amazing pool which we spent loads of time in.Table tennis table was also well used. Very attentive and helpful owner who responded almost instantly to our messages. Mottola itself is a beautiful unspoilt small hillside town with a weekly market. Overall a memorable holiday in a fabulous location
Christinaâs family villa was perfect for our family get-together in Puglia. The home is exceedingly spacious and the grounds are splendid. Cristina kept the beautiful pool open into November for us. The men in our group took some invigorating morning swims although November is a bit late for warm water temperatures in the pool. From âLa Torreâ we took day trips to explore Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, Taranto, Metaponto, and Matera. We also enjoyed several winery visits. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the regional wines we tasted. Although Cristina was not on hand to welcome us to her estate, she had her rental agent, Dominica and her caretaker, Peppino, on hand to greet us. If you do not speak Italian, be prepared to spend some time using translation apps to communicate during the check in
Wir waren mit 9 Personen fĂŒr 10 Tage im La Torre und haben uns sauwohl gefĂŒhlt!
Das geschichtstrĂ€chtige GebĂ€ude nimmt seine GĂ€ste sofort "in die Arme", so habe ich mich auf jeden Fall gefĂŒhlt.
Der Pool war auch Anfang Oktober gut zu nutzen und sehr sauber ( wie auch der Rest des Hauses)
Barbecue hatten wir auch, das funktionierte auch hervorragend.
Die Abende vorm Kamin mit Wein und KĂ€se (Danke, Cristina!!!!) waren kuschelig und entspannend.
Cristina ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin und Peppino war der gute Geist, der dafĂŒr gesorgt hat, das drauĂen alles lĂ€uft.
Wir danken unserer lieben, groĂzĂŒgigen Gastgeberin Cristina!
