Our Italian Vacation

This spot was perfect for our family for vacation. The villa is so sweet and has everything you need. The outside dining areas were lovely and the lights really made it magical at night. We loved walking into town for dinners and after-dinner gelatos! Such a cute area and so much to see and do withinan hour or two drive. Thank you for a wonderful time and thank you for welcoming us into your home!

Casa Cecca Cisternino

Excellent location both with regard to the local surrounding and the wider Puglia-area with relatively short driving distances to places of interest. The owner/hostess was extremely helpful to fulfill our small wishes during our stay. Also active in recommending restaurants and places to see and visit. The wifi network worked well both inside and outside the villa. The garden area is large and could do well with a thorough cleaning now that the leaves are falling off the treas.

The photos of Angelita's home and the general information about the very charming and welcoming town of Cisternino do not do justice to this vacation rental! My husband and I and our two friends loved it! Overall, there is a serenity and a sense of place at Casa Cecca that is timeless. The high ceilings and cool tiled floors make it a perfect summertime outdoor/indoor space. The eat in kitchen is compact, yet workable, although a microwave would be a welcome addition to the stove top and toaster oven. There is only one washroom, but it is beautifully remodelled and has a luxurious rainhead shower. During the day and on fine evenings the long wooden table under a pergola in the backyard is perfect for apero and alfresco meals. There are plenty of chairs and loungers!The jacuzzi was not much in use as our mid to late September days were cooler and we were routinely touring all the notable "white cities" as well as nearby beach and historic towns. We travelled to Ostuni, Alborobella, Locotorondo, Bari, Porto Caesarea, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Lecce, and Matera. Phenomenal day trips, great food, and history lessons, galore! Staying in the area of those special structures, the Trulli, was a daily delight!Angelita was a very caring and responsive host, and always addressed any concerns or requests that we expressed. Overall, we had great Apulian wine and food experiences, met lovely locals, and enjoyed being a short uphill walk from our comfortable home to Cisternino.

A very nice cottage at the edge of Cisternino.

A very clean and welcoming cottage with an enormous garden which in Scottish terms would be a croft. The house is a 3 minutes walk up hill to the Centro Storico in beautiful Cisternino. The owner Angelita was very helpful and friendly, suggesting top eating spots, places of interest and help in getting a taxi for a night out in Martina Franca when we left the car. Her mother very kindly dropped some polpette over to the cottage which were delicious. This was a great place stay in a beautiful part of Puglia.

comfortable home near town

We had a lovely stay in Angelita's house. It is a ten minute (uphill) walk into Cisternino, which has a beautiful old town centred around the Piazza. The kitchen was well appointed and there is a basic barbecue in the garden which we used on a couple of occasions. This is the type of barbecue which actually requires lighting a fire and this seems to be the done thing here as at around 7.30pm there smoke everywhere. The backyard has a number of fruit trees and as such my wife enjoyed fresh figs with her breakfast every day. Angelita's Mum, Maria came around one day and taught us how to make Orecchiette from scratch, which was a delight. In town, the locals all hit the streets at about 6.30pm and from 8pm it gets quite busy. We tried one of the Carne al Fornelli (barbecuing butchers) and it was a fun experience.

Beautiful home - Exceptional town - Wonderful host

My partner and I had an absolutely fantastic stay here. This beautiful family villa offers space, privacy, authenticity and luxury. The historic home, front drive and terrace are clean, airy, and secluded. It is decorated in the highest taste, with all the necessary facilities and amenities. The expansive grounds and driveway abound with pretty pathways, fruit trees and grapevines, and the large jacuzzi and seating make for a luxurious and peaceful resting space. The old town centre is a mere 5-10mins walk away. Angelita is a wonderful host who is generous, quick to respond and full of excellent recommendations about the local area and region. Getting to know her was a pleasure: the cooking lesson with her mum, and the tour we joined Angelita on at the local olive grove, were highlights of the trip. Cisternino itself is one of the prettiest towns in the region. Brilliantly located, and full of excellent bars and eateries, it has commanding views of the valley and is (somehow) slightly overlooked by tourists. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Lovely home, gracious owner

The rental was as expected and the owner was even more gracious than expected. Angelita arranged for us to attend a fascinating tour of an olive oil production facility and provided delicious breakfast items (I think her mother made the large fruit pastry). The house is quiet and close enough to walk into the old town for dinner. Cisternino is well positioned to easily visit other parts of Puglia. A minor suggestion is to improve the lighting in the house.

I am so glad that you enjoyed your staying in Casa Cecca and that our pictures give the real idea of the villa. It was a pleasure to show you the olive mill, and yes Mom is very pleased to hear that you liked her pastry, she puts a lot a love in her cooking. Thank you for your suggestion, we will certanly add some accent lights and it will be a great pleasure having you again as guests, whenever you will decide to come back to Puglia.

About the host

Host profile image
Ciao! I’m Angelita Amati, a proud native of Cisternino. After earning my law degree in Rome and completing a Master’s in Criminal Justice in the U.S., I returned to my beloved Puglia to raise my son in this beautiful region.

For the past 15 years (with an exciting 9-month adventure in the Dominican Republic), I’ve been rediscovering the magic of Puglia—its breathtaking landscapes, rich traditions, and incredible food. My greatest passions? Extra virgin olive oil, wine, cheese, and handcrafted ceramics—all of which I love to share with my guests!

If you’d like to immerse yourself in authentic Apulian cuisine, just let me know! I will be delighted to teach you how to prepare traditional dishes, just like we do at home.

I can’t wait to welcome you to Casa Cecca and help you experience the best Itria Valley has to offer!
