Puglia 60th Birthday Celebration

The villa was excellent and Giovanni was a welcoming property manager. We had a great stay despite the weather being disappointing ( cloudy and some rain). We used Anna to cook us an evening meal and this was a great experience and very reasonably priced.

Wonderful and Relaxing

We chose Villa Merlata for our 2 week family vacation because it had all the features and location we were looking for. Our six adults and two 10-year-old twin boys required 4 bedrooms and baths, a swimming pool and convening tables for all of us for meals together and for playing family dominos. With three eight-seated tables in different locations, it was perfect, no matter the weather. We found ourselves relaxing and talking in the porch lounge area every morning and evening. The kitchen was well stocked with appropriate pots and tableware, although we found the need for and contributed a larger coffee maker. We ate all but 10 meals at the villa, choosing local restaurants both for some lunches and some dinners. The supermarket is only 10 minutes away by car, which is a necessity for this villa. A highlight was Anna making pizza for us one night and a surprise 25th anniversary dinner on another night that she made for us. The two refrigerators were useful, and the security system was easy to operate. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms small but adequate. A/C in all the rooms was a necessity and worked well. Screens on all the windows. Giovanni was excellent and available to check us in and out according to our flight schedules. He was very helpful in suggesting restaurants and answering all our questions. Pasquale and his brother were attentive via WhatsApp and great hosts. The area is perfect for touring with 30 - 60-minute drives to key cities and attractions.

Beautifully appointed and elegant villa.

The villa is just as presented: stylish, well-equipped, sitting elegantly in its own large, lush garden. It all has a thoughtful, designer feel to it. Lovely pool, terrace, barbeque, pizza oven, two dining terraces create the perfect setting for outdoor summer living. Inside there are new en-suites, a good kitchen, hotel-standard bedrooms. Electric gates and burglar alarm, too. Giovanni was easy to liaise with checking in and helpful generally. There was absolutely nothing to fault.

Droomhuis vlak buiten Ostuni

Villa Merlata is rustig gelegen, ruim 3 kilometer buiten Ostuni op een klein landgoed met o.m. olijfbomen, mooi aangelegde tuin, prachtig zwembad (met voldoende ligbedden) en een buitenkeuken met barbecue, pizzaoven en koelkast. Het huis beschikt over 3 goed ingerichte slaapkamers (met prima bedden) en badkamers en een goed ingerichte keuken. Zeer geschikt voor een gezin of 3 koppels. Contact met de eigenaar verliep snel en correct en Giovanni ontving ons hartelijk en zorgde voor alle relevante info. Omgeving van Ostuni vonden wij zelf het meest aantrekkelijke deel van Puglia. Prachtige stadjes als Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino, Locorotondo en Alberobello liggen in de omgeving en ook een dagje strand (o.m. Lido Morelli) is goed te doen. Supermarkt op 3 kilometer en een ruime keus aan goede restaurants. Via Giovanni ook een avond gebruik gemaakt van thuiskokkin Andrea die in de villa een uitstekend menu verzorgde met lokale gerechten. Ons 6-daags verblijf vloog voorbij en we waren dan ook graag wat langer in villa Meleta gebleven.

A fabulous stay

We stayed a week at Villa Merlata and had a fantastic stay. Pasquale was quick to answer any questions before booking and provided us with all the details we needed ahead. The villa is beautifully decorated and super clean. Each bedroom had an ensuite (so no queues for the bathroom!) and the kitchen and utility contained everything you would need. We enjoyed cooking pizza in the outdoor pizza oven, and Giovanni our contact during our stay was incredibly kind and helpful with any questions we had. It is a 5 minute drive from the nearest large Supermarket and 10 minutes into Ostuni where we enjoyed a few meals out - highly recommend Al Solito Posto for dinner and the gelato from Ciccio in Piazza was the best we've had! We didn't want to leave! Thank you Pasquale and Giovanni for a fantastic stay.

We had a wonderful time in the Villa Mersata.

It was great weather so we could enjoy all its outdoor possibilities like the wonderful pool and the outdoor dining and cooking area. Ostuni is a mere 5 minute drive and the gastronomic town of Ceglie Messpica is also not far away. The villa has everything you need for a wonderful stay and the caretaker is a very nice and helpful man who'll do his best to make you feel welcome.

Beautiful villa

We were 3 couples who have had a fantastic holiday staying in Villa Merlata. We really did not want to leave and can not recommend it highly enough. The villa itself is stunning, and set in lovely gardens. There is everything you could need and more in the villa itself. It was spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds and great showers. The kitchen and living areas are very well equipped. Our favourite place was definitely the fantastic outside area with a lovely pool, with plenty of shade if needed and places to sit with a glass of wine or eat. We ate outside all the time which was just lovely. The villa is set in a quiet area a few minutes drive to Ostuni which is beautiful with little streets, whitewashed houses, shops and wonderful restaurants. It is a short drive to the coast and many beautiful Puglian towns and cities. Giovanni was incredibly helpful on arrival and throughout our stay and made recommendations for restaurants, gave us the number for a local taxi, advised us on local supermarkets etc. And the owners Pasquale and Marco contacted us to check we were having a good holiday, which was a lovely touch. We took advantage of using the private chef, Angela, one evening and would highly recommend this as it was really lovely and the food was cooked from scratch, local dishes and delicious. Villa Merlata is perfect for friends holidaying together or families. Incredibly sad to leave and would love to go back very soon.

What a nice and well thought out villa to host its guests

Stayed in the villa with our friends in July. We especially liked our shared breakfast and evening dining. In the evening the villa area was beautifully lighted. The swimming pool is a great size and gives a pleasing cooling from the burning sun. Air conditioners in the bedroom are justified and the beds are comfortable. Warm/cold water gomes with good pressure. Groceries, eating places, etc. what's needed, is nearby. The villa itself is comfortable, everything you need (wasching machine, kitchen utensils, house holds, etc.) for a carefree vacation. Giovanni and Pasqual were always available and helped us kindly with all sorts of questions and desires. I recommend using a private chef service that they offer. Everything was made from the scratch and the food was really delicious. Because we stayed there only for a week, lots of things that we wanted to see/do/experience - the time was too short, but good memories were created. Many thanks and we'll definitely would like to come back!
