Borgo Aratico

A really wonderful villa in a nice peaceful, scenic location surrounded by beautiful Puglian countryside.

It is quite remote, but with a car, wonderful beaches and towns are within very easy (and scenic) drives. Very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend for a family or group of friends holiday!

Superbe localisation au calme au milieu de la campagne.

Tout est parfait sauf un peu de bruit de tuyauterie la nuit probablement la piscine.

Beautiful property, very comfortable and easy access to surrounding towns for day trips. Check in was smooth. Gaia was helpful and responsive.

Nice rural area near a small village with the best coffee on our trip. Great convenience store with fantastic bread and meats/cheeses. Very quiet setting.

The photos didn’t depict the accomodation that we required for our family of 8 unfortunately. As the house was split into two settings, so we had to go between those spaces to get extra cutlery, crockery etc up & over the stairs. The lounge room was on top of the main bedroom & you could hear every noise that was made. The garden was messy, photos showed a well manicured garden. There was little wood left for our cooking in the outdoor area &it was hard to source. The steam room didn’t work at all. Very small kitchen not very practical. Hot water ran out after we had our spa. The 2 sharp knives were completely blunt. A disappointing stay, especially as we had travelled from Australia for a special family get together.

It’s a beautiful house consisting of 4 bedrooms and 2 well equipped kitchens. Swimming pool area is lovely, it’s a perfect spot for watching sunsets. And jacuzzi - we loved it! We totally recommend this place. Our host was super nice, polite and helpful.

We had an incredible week at this gorgeous villa, which exceeded all our expectations. The location was absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful fields and olive groves that provided the perfect picturesque backdrop for our holiday. The villa itself was amazing, offering a spacious swimming pool that everyone enjoyed. It had everything we needed, from a washing machine and dishwasher to two fridges, an outdoor fridge, and a barbecue setup. There were even two coffee machines, a microwave, and hairdryers in every bathroom. The lovely shampoos and body showers were a nice touch that made us feel pampered. Despite needing a car to get there, the location was fantastic. It was close to many attractions, like Alberobello, Locorotondo, Monopoli (just 20 minutes away), Ostuni (45 minutes), and Bari (one hour). We particularly enjoyed being only 10 minutes from a fantastic safari and zoo, which also had an entertainment park. There was a wonderful restaurant just 7 minutes away, and the paths around the villa were great for running. One of the best features was the spa, which was a wonderful addition, especially on the colder days when the pool was a bit too chilly. The villa’s four bedrooms and four bathrooms provided plenty of space and privacy for everyone. The presence of traditional Puglian trulli on the property added a unique historical charm that we loved, and the authentic Puglian décor made us feel truly immersed in the local culture. Our host, Gaia, was fantastic. She was incredibly helpful, provided great recommendations, and was always reachable on WhatsApp. She even helped arranging for a private chef to cook a luxurious dinner for us one night, which was an unforgettable experience. Overall, our stay at the villa was absolutely wonderful. It felt luxurious, was well-equipped, and provided a perfect base for exploring the area. We will be highly recommending this villa to anyone wanting to explore the region. It was exceptional and worth every penny.

There were a few things to be aware of, which didn’t spoil our experience but are good to know. The one bedroom with two single beds didn't have full blackout blinds, which was a bit challenging for our toddlers who need complete darkness to sleep. We had to rearrange the sleeping arrangements to accommodate this and ended up having to put a couple in that room. Additionally, something to be aware is that the pool was not heated and a bit too cold for our toddlers during our stay when the weather was cooler which was such a pity because the one time we manage to use it it was great!
