Villa vacation rentals in San Michele Salentino

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.

Off the beaten track but not too far to get to some of the gorgeous towns in Pulgia! We had a lovely stay at Jerome’s, it was so peaceful and we lived swims in the pool. Jerome was very responsive! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property

Absolutely beautiful villa very close to the beach. It was perfectly clean and we felt directly at home. Vito was reachable for every question we had and was very friendly. I recommend this stay 100% !

I cannot say enough great things about our stay here. I don’t even know where to begin because everything was fabulous. We had the best time and we already want to come back! The setting is stunning, the house is pristine, and the location is great. You are removed from the towns but it’s well located and you can do a lot of day trips to other towns and beaches. Check in was great and we communicated with Giulio for everything and he was very responsive. I’

Enjoyed a beautiful stay with private swimming pool. Beautiful area to get out. The cleaning aid explains everything clearly upon arrival and communication with Sandra was also great. The house was great! Nice rooms and bathroom, lovely terrace. Perfect for relaxing with your family or as a couple in all luxury. If you use the air conditioning in the bedroom every day (evening/night), you are left with the max kWh per day and you pay a little more for this. This is clearly agreed in advance, but we did not know if we would go about that kWH/day with the air conditioning or not. In summary: Beautiful holiday in Puglia in a beautiful house.

Serge’s holiday home was wondeful and set in a very tranquil and beautiful area. It felt right like at home. We loved the garden, the pool area and the outdoor terrace and also the cute local cat that kept visiting us 😊. Overall, if you want a peaceful holiday in rural Puglia, we couldn’t recommend it enough!

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.

We spent 6 fabulous nights at Villa Miramar to explore wonderful Puglia. We are many years using Airbnb and Villa Miramar is an absolutely exceptional property - a little piece of paradise, better than the photos! From the very large terrace with breathtaking views; the kitchen, so well equipped including cooking oils and spices, welcome gifts of water, fruit, coffee, fruit….; very comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms and a lovely private pool area. Yoan clearly put his heart and soul into renovating the property with an eye for keeping the authentic style of the original house. But equally exceptional is Yoan himself. We got a flat tyre before even arriving at the villa. Yoan was there in minutes with friends and fixed the tyre with a big smile. We then had the privilege to get to know the man who has a huge generosity of spirit, amazing kindness and hospitality. He is so much fun and made great memories for us. We hated leaving and definitely left a piece of our heart behind.

Donna is a great host and the house is perfect for relaxing with family and it is close of all the best places in Puglia. The house is very well equipped, maybe the best equipped Airbnb’s house we have been until now. I suggest every one who wants to have a beautiful journey in Puglia, to enjoy this villa.

Such a lovely home with a nice garden, plus grapes you can literally pick off the vine and eat. Eight of us fit comfortably and really enjoyed our stay. We were only 10-30 min away from a lot of the surrounding towns (Monopoli, Alberobello, Polignano a Mare) which made it easy to take quick day trips using our rental cars. Kirstin and Mira were very welcoming and responsive. Would stay here again!

Paul’s home is absolutely fabulous! So much space, clean, and beautifully landscaped. Domenico, the caregiver, was awesome as well. Only suggestion is to be very specific with who you intend to have visit or stay at the house ahead of time.

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!

Nice house with pool to stay , but also as a starting point for trips in the area with the nice tips from the host Merel as a guide.

Lovely stay outside of Ostuni at Laura's place. The house is very well equipped with several bedrooms nicely spaced out across the large home. The pool was lovely (though not heater) and the grounds are beautiful, with a children's play structure on property and two adorable donkey's roaming the grounds. Very nice stay. Thank you for having us!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Thibault’s place! Starting with great recommendations before arrival to easy check in and a place that’s even better than on the pictures. Amazing design, super clean, great amenities to spend a cozy night cooking at home and a lot of space to chill by the pool. Loved it and will come back for sure! Many thanks 🙏

Great villa that is a short car ride to the old town. The location was peaceful, great for outdoor entertaining and a lovely pool area.

Great accomodation, highly recommended, fabulous pool and garden.

We had a perfect stay! The house was absolutely beautiful and had all the facilities and amenities we needed. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The communication with the host was excellent — she was very friendly, gave us great recommendations, answered all our questions quickly, and was always easy to reach. The location is also ideal: very central and close to everything worth visiting in the region. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and host. Highly recommended!

Beautiful villa in the country side. We travelled with two small children and grandparents and it had everything we needed. Both had privacy with two buildings. Pool was a bit heated too which made it optimal for visiting in May for us. I would stay again here.

The villa was beautiful, clean, and truly a peaceful place to stay. I recommend it for a family or group that wants to stay close to ostuni. Beautiful place. Would stay again. We ran into some issues, but Marco was proactive and great about solving the issues that came up right away. He would respond fast and always be attentive to our needs! Overall, great experience despite some hiccups that were resolved quickly. On top of that, we left some personal things at the villa and Marco was kind enough to help us ship them back home in the US. Thank you!!

The place is great! We were 8 people (4 couples) and every couple got their room and a separate bathroom (some even got a separate entrance). Amelia is a very helpful host. We also ordered the homemade dinner from their private chef one night and it was amazing! Not to miss! The pool is great, but have in mind that it’s all shallow. We spent a couple of days chilling by the pool with the music and it was just heavenly. The location is super convenient if you have a car, which we did. The town nearby (20 min walk) is super charming, we had breakfast there every day. Thank you Amelia and Francesco for our wonderful stay!

This stunning luxury contemporary villa was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the impeccable design and thoughtful details that made our holiday truly unforgettable. The villa's layout is perfectly designed, offering a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The numerous terraces provided serene spots to relax, each with its own charm. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor dining area - for leisurely breakfasts and al fresco dinners under the stars. The swimming pool was a refreshing oasis, perfect for cooling off during warm afternoons. Inside, the villa exudes sophistication with expertly curated designer lighting and a remarkable collection of original artworks, adding a unique character to each room. The luxury bathrooms were a highlight, featuring high-end fixtures and indulgent toiletries that added a spa-like touch to our stay. We wholeheartedly recommend this exquisite villa to anyone seeking a luxurious getaway in Puglia.

We had a wonderful stay! The house is beautiful and stylish, with a lovely pool and spacious grounds. Everything was very well maintained and peaceful. The host was incredibly attentive, gave great local tips, and always responded quickly. Highly recommended!

We arrived at Stefania’s villa late in the evening, we received all the instructions about the keys,road and etc..Stefania is a wonderful owner,very comfortable. She provided us all the answers for our questions, recommendations to the sight-seeing, restaurants,fruits shops…Her mama is an amazing person, gave us fresh fruits. I can say only one thing-if you on car, don’t think, choose this wonderful villa and it would be unforgettable time!
