Villa holiday rentals in Cisternino

Absolutely stunning place, even better than the photos. The villa was very clean and modern and had everything we needed, lovely kitchen and living area. The main event was the outside space - huge swimming pool with tiered steps leading in, perfect for our 3 year old. Large enough to do a proper swim. Lovely decked area where we would sit and drink our tea in the morning, large table and chairs where we would eat dinner. Massive garden and everything looked beautiful, we loved the purple flower wall where we would watch the bees and butterflies (and spotted some hummingbird moths which were pretty cool). Stefano was the perfect host, staying in touch when our flight was late and providing lots of info about the area. He was always at the end of a message if we needed something. He saved us on the night we arrived as he had kindly left a bottle of prosecco which went down a treat. Lots of places within easy driving distance - we loved Monopoli, Polignano a Mare and Alberobello.

Our stay was lovely! Maria and Sara were so helpful and went above and beyond. A great experience.

It was all good and all as expected.

Wow—this is a true Italian villa, like something out of a movie! We stayed with both our parents and our 4-year-old and had plenty of space. The home is grand, with two kitchens and even an outdoor shower. Best of all, it’s just steps from the beach—an unbeatable location! That said, expect to hear early beachgoers and some foot traffic near the property in the morning. The private gate is helpful, but access can be tight if neighbors block the entrance (especially with a larger vehicle). We did deal with ants throughout our stay and vacuumed daily, but it didn’t ruin the experience. The charm and location of this villa far outweighed any minor inconveniences. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend this place for a family stay in Monopoli!

There are no surprises here. It is beautiful. Clean, well equipped, peaceful, gorgeous pool, comfortable, safe. Would definitely rent again. We loved every minute!

Tina is a dream host. I felt more like I was visiting my Aunt. She is so warm & welcoming. She left all kinds of goodies for us to eat & drink-which was needed after a long day of traveling. She gave us so many great recommendations on things to see, places to eat. Her house is fantastic. Right on the water and only 15 mins to Ostuni. We would go back in a heartbeat - and would recommend this place to anyone visiting Puglia!

For us as a family, Edda's house was the perfect base for excursions in Puglia. The house is very nicely located a little off the main road. You can enjoy the sun on the terrace in the morning and there is a conservatory for eating, playing and entertaining, as well as a covered terrace. The existing older building has been very stylishly integrated into the new building parts. The house has everything you need for a nice stay. Nearby (about 5 minutes by car) is the city of Carovigno, where you get fresh rolls in the morning and also everything else you need. You can take excursions to all the main destinations in Puglia (Lecce, Bari, Ostuni, Alberobello and many small villages). Edda is super nice and always provided us with good tips.

Words aren’t adequate to describe this magnificent villa set in groves of oranges and olives. It is so peaceful with plenty of outside decks and spaces. The host has thought of so many ways to ensure his guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay. His information about restaurants, things to do, and places to see was so helpful. The location is perfect for easy access to roads that take you to nearby sights and villages. We are adventurers and he was able to provide us with much useful advice and direction. We loved this place!

Our host Angelo was very kind, helpful and quick to respond to our messages. He suggested local stores and restaurants and we enjoyed them immensely. We look forward to returning to Puglia next year.

We’ve had a few holidays in Puglia but this was the first staying at Rebecca’s place. She was a very attentive host and we were also grateful to have Mattia nearby (and on the phone) if we had any urgent questions. The decor and the landscaping were finished beautifully. All the amenities worked well and the place was so clean!! We would definitely stay again and recommend this place to friends and family.

We had a wonderful time at Stefano's place with our family of 5. The property and home are beautiful. The kids enjoyed playing in the yard. There is ample patio space for dining or relaxing. We went off season and didn't use the pool but it looks wonderful for the summer. The old stone part of the house has great character. The hot tub is a great way to relax. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax. It's a short 10 minute drive to Ostuni, which has plenty of restaurants, shops, and things to see. We greatly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend the place to anyone visiting the area.

We had an amazing holiday at Vincenzo’s villa! The villa was perfect for a big group of 13 friends, with all of the rooms being spacious doubles with en suites. The outdoor kitchen was great as was the pool area, and halfway through our stay Vincenzo installed a volleyball court! The villa was also a good walking distance into Ostuni, so really a perfect location - we had an incredible holiday!

We loved our stay at Paul’s place. It looked exactly like the pictures and had all the amenities we were looking for. It was a great area to stay, because there were so many beautiful surrounding towns that we could go to explore for the day. Paul was very responsive to any questions and also offered suggestions of things to do and places to eat. It is in a secluded area, very private and peaceful, so you would definitely need a car. Highly recommend!! We’d go back in a heartbeat

We lived our stay. Great surroundings and tons of thinks to do.

This accommodation and host are what I imagined the founders of Airbnb had in mind when they developed the concept. The Trulli’s (there are a few) are architecturally restored keeping the charm and tradition of the area alive whilst seamlessly merging the creature comforts you want on a holiday. The property is spacious, the pool is enormous and the activities are endless. What really makes this stay so amazing however is the host. Maria and Raffaello are their happiest when their guests are happy. Maria helped organise a cooking class, made sure we used all the property had to offer and we were welcomed with a table of local snacks and treats. We had 14 people and every single person loved the accommodation, Maria and hanging out in the Trullis and the pool. We went in the heat of summer (30- 32 degrees per day) and the trullis stayed cool enough to sleep at night and the pool was an oasis after a day of exploring. One of the best AirBnb stays I’ve had!

The villa was magnificent! The trulli are incredibly restored. The spaces are spacious, the decoration is super neat and the views from the pool and terrace are impressive. Total privacy, absolute silence... Everything was impeccably clean and nothing was missing, it had everything you needed to be comfortable. And the host was super friendly, full of tips on what to do and see in the area. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely time at Mariella’s. The villa was private and very quiet. It feels quite new/recently built so everything is in pretty good condition. Internet is fast and works outside. Mariella was kind and very responsive.

The place was exactly as described. Beautiful property, great outdoor area and quiet surrounding. Close to quite a few key places so good central spot. Filippo and Maria were excellent with their communications and very friendly

We had the most delightful time. Rosa Anna was extremely responsive and she also provided exceptional service. We would love to return for a longer period of time next time. We would highly recommend her home.

We had a wonderful peaceful stay in Maria Rosaria’s villa - it was a perfect location and easy to take in all the wonderful sights in Apulia. Maria Rosaria was a lovely, thoughtful host.

We had a fantastic stay. The house with the pool is very beautiful. Its quiet with a nice view, a bit outside of the next city. So there are not many houses around. The comunication was perfect, very helpful and fast with a lot of great tips for activities or restaurants. Thanks a lot!

We have just returned from our holiday and what a fantastic stay it was. Annalisa and her husband have a fantastic place, with beautiful surroundings, a pool and football pitch. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again !

We were two couples and spent a week in one of the two villas. It was simply wonderful and perfect. The beautiful interior of the house and the fantastic parklike garden with a wonderful pool, the outdoor kitchen and the huge olive-garden make it impossible not to have a fantastic stay in Puglia. We hope to come back soon. Thank you for letting us stay in your extraordinary home, Pietro.

A cozy home surrounded by olive trees, as pictured. A pergola where you can enjoy dinners with others. The host was very helpful and gave us great tips for experiences. Absolutely recommended
