Perfect Beach Holiday Location

By Denis Robson on 31-May-2025

Multiple beaches within easy walking or cycling distance. The Beach house was very comfortable, peaceful and ideal for our needs. We plan to return.

Perfect for what we needed

By jamie zaccaria on 28-Jul-2025

Wow! What a space, absolutely stunning villa inside and out, it had absolutely everything we needed and more. The bedrooms was beautiful which was kitted out with the mozzy nets that was a must for my partner and mother! (Bitten to death). Marjie the owner has been a pleasure to deal with right from the booking stage to the going home. The information she provided for everything was perfect and didn’t miss a beat! Very clear and precise. Lovely caring women too may I add, really felt as though we gained a friend as well as being the host of the villa. Even though we didn’t meet her it felt as though we had know her for years. Would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a stay right on the beach!! Literally walk down the back steps of it and you’re walking on sand instantly. Couldn’t be more perfect. Once again thank you Marjie for everything you’ve been amazing and hope to deal with you again one day!

Perfect time in Costa Merlata...

By Roman E on 12-Jul-2016

Roman E. said... 12 Jul 2016 Perfect time in Costa Merlata... Date of Stay 6 Jun 2016 The house offers all you need! Specially the space outside is nice. We've enjoyed to chillout there and have a glass of wine while our littel one was sleeping peacfully inside. Also the nice town Ostuni is very close by. Best is to have a car during your stay to explore the sourroundings. The communicaion with Marji was very polite and helpfull. We definately reccomend to stay there! Thanks Marji. Roman&Nadja with little Levis :-) My Response So the new gazebo ( 2016) provided shade, space and comfort - and great views - fabulous. While being close by your little one at siesta/evenings - that's great. Delighted that you enjoyed a relaxing holiday - from memory that was quite a challenge when my children were very young. I think having everything to hand in the house, and all you need for beach days, beach a few steps away, your own private direct beach access is the answer.

A slice of Italian heaven!

By Sarah D on 17-Jul-2013

Sarah D. said... 17 Jul 2013 A slice of Italian heaven! Date of Stay 19 Jul 2012 Helpful votes: 1/0 I stayed at the beach house as a single mother with 3 small children under 6 years old for 10 days in July. The house was beautifully decorated, equipped and luxurious and provided the perfect and most relaxing escape from it all in the rustic and rural location of Puglia. A lot of attention paid to detail ensured we were never without any modern amenities and were more than comfortable the entire length of our stay. The view, surroundings and atmosphere was just what I was looking for and the beach house exceeded all expectation. It was paradise and a real delight for all of us! I was specifically looking for a property with no pool due to the danger it presents with young children. Being located above the beach and part of a very relaxed and traditional old world village without the same health and safety concerns I am accustomed to, the need for close child supervision and firm boundaries to be set was important but no different to any other holiday I have had elsewhere in the world. A typical day would be spent around the house and garden in the morning with the afternoon and early evening being spent at the award winning beach a stone's throw away. The beach is spotless and the water beautiful. Being a bay, the children were able to swim safely without current or waves. Life guards were on duty as well for added peace of mind. We had no need for a car as there is a local convenience store next door stocking all essentials required. Only on one occasion did we venture out into the nearby walled city of Ostuni which is well worth a visit. All in all, this holiday has been one of our best yet. 5 stars and not a single complaint from us! Thank you very much! My Response Thank you Sarah. What a treat having you guys at the beach house. Lovely to see the children glowing with energy and loving the beach...... And their wee faces when they shared that giant beachtowel after the outside 'sand-off shower' - brings back memories. Hope to see you guys back at the beach house another time. Know you found it relaxing.Sarah, think the chilled out, laid back approach to life in Puglia really suited you. Hugs to your gorgeous three little ones, they were so good at adapting to Puglian pace; play,sleep, play, sleep..... Two days in every one! Marji

OUTSTANDING!

By Agnieszka T on 06-Aug-2013

Agnieszka T. said... 6 Aug 2013 OUTSTANDING! Date of Stay 6 Jul 2013 Helpful votes: 1/0 I would like to express my big thanks to the owner of the house! We had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend this beautiful house. It has a unique and privileged position, very close to the market, village centre, etc. and yet being secluded and very private. Stairs at the back of the garden lead directly to an appealing small beach, perfect both for children and adults. The house provides full comfort in every aspect - carefully and tastefully furnished, lots of candles and small lights, VERY comfortable interiors. The garden and outdoor space is simply superb! with fantastic hammock, grill, two big tables and plenty of space just to enjoy the fresh air. It also has a great rooftop terrace. AMAZING PLACE. My Response Thank you Agnieszka, delighted to have you and your family stay at my beautiful beach house. I know you loved the opportunity to switch off from your busy life and embrace the slow pace of life on a perfect Puglian beach. Great for your children to step onto the sand, swim in clear seas without you having to pack up, drive, park etc. Also complimenti on your excellent English language! Looking forward to having you stay again in the future - special discount when you do. Kindest Regards Marji
