Villa Diana

Bellissima villa, confortevole e ben arredata con tanto spazio verde ben sistemato e mantenuto con piscina e vicina vasca idromassaggio. Gentilissima la proprietaria. Pulizia ottima.

If you would like to stay in the same beautiful grounds as 3 generations of a lovely Italian family that make you feel extremely welcome then VillaDiana is the place for you. Expresso next to the fresh water river fed pool followed by a jacuzzi and swim was part of our daily Routine. later in the day my son and I would play tennis on the excellently maintained clay court. The owner Gianni is the over 70 Italian tennis champion no less! Then maybe a barbecue on the terrace with professional cooking equipment at your disposal. The time the family (especially Diana) put into making the grounds as beautiful and interesting (labeled plants) as possible show how much they love where they live and why we are so lucky they are willing to invite us in to share the experience. Paolo (the son) was always available to provide help quickly when needed and picked us figs straight from his tree which were still warm from the sun and the best we have ever tasted. I couldn't recommend Villa Diana more highly. We've already booked for next year and are counting down the weeks already. Thank you Gianni, Diana & Paolo !

Very nice 'estate' with choice of 6 self catering apartments/villas. Great pool, beautiful clay tennis court, boules, table tennis and play house etc for younger kids. Within easy (12 minutes by car) distance of the beautiful city of Lecce and striking distance of many beaches of both Adriatic and Ionian coasts (25 to 50 mins of pleasant driving) with a fantastic range of charming town beaches and longer sandy stretches. Also lovely to just stay and relax on site. Owners, Paulo and his family, are very welcoming and informative without being 'on top of you'. Accommodation is simple rather than 5 star hotel with the 'second bedroom' usually being pull out sofa beds in the lounge but with excellent air con. We had a fantastic family holiday there and will happily return. The area is truly Italian in nature and days would pass without hearing an English voice - consequently some Italian is sometimes useful though Paulo speaks excellent English

Très bon accueil des propriétaires qui dans un anglais approximatif parviennent à se faire comprendre. Magnifique piscine déserte le matin et en soirée. Transats occupés néanmoins à ces horaires par les chats de la maisonnée qui débordent d'amour pour les touristes. Les chambres sont en fait de petites maisons de pierre au milieu d'un immense jardin plein de vignes et d'oliviers. A l'intérieur, frigo rempli de fruits, yaourts et tout ce qu'il faut pour prendre le petit dej en terrasse . Ajoutez à ça le parking gratuit . Au final, villa Diana est sans doute un petit paradis terrestre.
