About this property

Villa Belfiore sits in the tranquil countryside of rural Pugla surrounded by olive groves and vineyards yet is just 5 minutes from the thriving, medieval town of Oria with its beautiful historic centre, castle, many restaurants and all the amenities you'll need.
The Villa is ideally placed for exploring the wonderful towns and cities of Puglia and also conveniently located between the Adriatic coast and the Ionian coast, each 30 minutes away.
Comfortably sleeping 6/7 with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the Villa has a spacious open plan sitting/dining room with a well-equipped kitchen. There is a further toilet and shower area by the pool all of which is set in mature landscaped gardens with lawns and flowerbeds. The house is located off a quiet road and has a gated driveway with parking.
The shaded verandas directly accessible from the house provide areas to dine alfresco or sit and relax. Both the front and rear verandas have sofas and dining facilities, giving you the option of choosing the coolest or warmest area depending on the time of day. The rear veranda leads to a lower terrace with bbq and seating and from there the tiled walkway edged in lavander guides you under the wisteria-covered pergola to the pool area. Here there are six sunloungers, a shaded gazebo with table and chairs, and an umbrella for shade while cooling off on the steps of the pool. The 10 x 5 m pool, fully tiled in mosaic, provides a wonderful space to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. Completely private it is the perfect spot to swim or enjoy the sun. There is also a large area of lawn next to the pool which is great for children to play.
The garden around the house and pool is fenced and walled. Our land extends for a further hectare behind the house and garden where we have an olive grove of 190 trees, a vegetable garden and an area of fruit trees including pears, figs, plums, apples, apricots, lemons, oranges and clementines. Guests are very welcome to wander in this area and help themselves to whatever is in season, includings fresh vegetables from the vegetable plot.
The villa has everything you need to enjoy a memorable holiday with family and/or friends and is a great choice for those looking for the peace and quiet of an Italian countryside location but close to the amenities of a traditional town, with the sights and coasts of Puglia within easy reach.

The place to be in Oria...

My wife and myself spent a wonderful week at Villa Belfiore. The pictures on the site only give a flavour of the beauty of the property. We were furthermore impressed by the cleanliness. About our host, Mike. Altough he is living next door, you do not see him, you do not hear him... except if you have a problem or an issue, in which case he appears within minutes and fix whatever has to be fixed... Thank you Mike for your reliability! A last comment for those who, like us, has to do some work using PC's: the wifi is excellent, and we were able to contact our VPN clients without a problem. Will we come back? We definitely hope so... Christine & Luc (Belgium)

Outrageous Oria in Puglia

The pictures reflect exactly what this property has to offer. It was beautifully designed and landscaped. We walked among beautifully landscaped gardens as we went to the pool. The pool was immaculate and cleaned daily. The kitchen was stocked well and we actually were able to eat some fruit that was on some of the trees in the garden. The owners were so available and when an issue popped up the response was immediate. This is a rural area but just what we needed to restore our souls and get us away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. We were honored that we were the first Americans to rent this property! Thanks Mike and Annette for sharing your beautiful Oria property with us!

Perfect place to relax in beautiful surroundings

The villa was very clean, lovely and spacious, comfortable and well equipped. But for us it was all about the garden, which is beautifully landscaped and packed full of plants. Lots of different places to sit in shade or sun and a pool larger than we usually see in private villas. The owner, Mike, was very communicative despite being on a trip away. The villa is conveniently situated to drive to different places in Puglia - our favourite by far was Ostuni, for the buzzing evening vibe, pretty streets and restaurants. The food and wine of the region was definitely a highlight of our stay! We didn’t find the surrounding countryside particularly attractive as it is very flat and is miles after mile of olive groves, but a drive nearer the coast brings more variety and hills. Previous reviewers mentioned the mosquitoes- my husband suffered a bit but didn’t wear mosquito repellent… if you wear strong repellent, get all the citronella candles etc going and cover up if you’re particularly tasty to mozzies, it’s not a big issue. We really enjoyed our stay and felt very relaxed and at home and were sorry to leave.

Traumhafte Villa: einfach abschalten

Wir haben unsere Woche sehr genossen. Die Villa ist sehr gut geschnitten, alles auf einer Ebene. Alles im einwandfreien Zustand und sehr sehr sauber! Die Bilder vom Garten sind veraltet: es ist in Wirklichkeit viel grüner! Neben der Pergola am Pool ist ein wunderbares Blumenbeet und die Palmen im Garten sind riesig. Mariangela und Mike haben sich sofort im jede Angelegenheit gekümmert. Wir wurden wunderbar empfangen mit frischen Grund-Lebensmitteln, falls man auf der langen Anreise es nicht zum Einkaufen schafft. Wir können diese Villa wärmstens empfehlen. Normalerweise gehen wir nie an den gleichen Ort. Aber wenn wir wieder nach Apulien kommen, dann am liebsten zurück in diese Villa))) Tipp: Im August steigt beinahe jeden Abend ein Straßenfest in Oria: unbedingt vorbeischauen!!!

The villa to rent in Oria!

Super paradise for a quiet retreat in Puglia! Super comfortable and clean! You get a resort feel in your own villa! Very easy to get to when Mike sends you a pin location of the villa. Nice welcoming package including 6 bottles of water because the water from the well is not suitable for drinking (we drank some anyway getting in and everything was fine). Try Spiaggia di San Pietro in Bevagna, wonderful beach on the west coast (30 minutes) and Ostuni for drinks and dinner is a must! For the rest, we enjoyed cooking on the BBQ at the villa and enjoying the sunset in the pool! Thanks for a great week in Puglia! We never know, we might be back :o)

Beautiful house with great outdoor space

We have really enjoyed our stay at the house in Oria. The house was exactly as described. The outdoor space is really great, there is space to sit in the sun as well as in the shade. Very big pool also. The welcoming package from Mike was very nice and Mike was always available if we had any questions. We recommend this house when travelling to Puglia.

Beautiful villa in heart of Puglia

We were welcomed by Mariangela when we arrived. The villa was just as described and perfectly clean. The garden and pool are immaculate . The pool is a good size ,. we used it every day. . The pool area is lovely, sunny, with loungers and shade too, very well designed.. We went into Oria to the shops , supermarkets, restaurants and bars. The town is beautiful , typical of Puglia . We ate out there and visited several times, . It is not far , easy to park and people were friendly snd helpful. From the villa we visited places in all directions as it is quite centrally located. We have never seen so many olive trees or vineyards. The nearest beaches are stunning with light fine sand and crystal clear water. We could also park easily nearby. We had a lovely fun holiday visiting sites but also enjoying the comfort of the villa. We experienced no problems , we knew we could contact Mike if needed. and Mariangela was nearby. Everything in the villa worked and it was extremely well equipped. An excellent place to stay.

Geräumiges Haus, wunderschöner Garten und traumhafter Pool

Wir haben uns in dem schönen Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Mike und Anette haben uns sehr freundlich aufgenommen und uns ein großzügiges Willkommenspaket hinterlassen, dass uns das Ankommen sehr erleichtert hat. Das Haus war sehr sauber und ist sehr gut ausgestattet, es fehlte an nichts. Es gibt sogar eine Kochmöglichkeit und einen Kühlschrank draußen. Von der großzügigen, überdachten Terrasse hat man einen tollen Blick in den hübschen und gut gepflegten Garten und zum Poolbereich. Der Pool ist angenehm groß, sehr gut gepflegt und einfach traumhaft. Es gibt dort einen überdachten Sitzbereich und eine eigene Toilette. Die Kinder und wir haben den Pool während der heißen Tage sehr genossen. Das Haus liegt nicht weit entfernt von Oria, einem kleinen, malerischen und autenthischem Ort. Das traumhafte Meer und viele andere schöne Ortschaften im Salento sind vom Haus gut erreichbar. Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit und können das Haus nur empfehlen. Vielen Dank nochmal an Mike und Anette für alles!

Wunderschöner Urlaub

Die wunderschöne Villa ist komplett ausgestattet und bietet viel Platz. Das Auto wird im Hof vor der Villa sicher hinter einem abschließbaren Metalltor geparkt. Sauberkeit wird hier großgeschrieben. Der Pool mit dem gepflegten geschmackvoll angelegten Garten ist ein Traum. Zum krönenden Abschluss hat uns der Vermieter die Erlaubnis erteilt, im angrenzenden Gemüse- und Obstgarten selber zu ernten. Der Vermieter (Mike) wohnt gleich nebenan, ist superfreundlich und tatsächlich unsichtbar. Außer man hat eine Frage oder Bitte, dann ist er sofort zur Stelle. Wir würden unseren Urlaub jederzeit wieder dort verbringen. Vielen Dank Mike.

Perfekt für den, der die Ruhe und Erholung sucht.

Kurzfristig haben wir uns aufgrund der derzeitigen Situation für dieses herrliche Objekt entschieden und wurden absolut positiv überrascht. Besser als auf den Fotos ersichtlich präsentiert sich das Objekt in einem hervorragenden Zustand. Gebäude, Garten und Pool, alles hervorragend gepflegt. Annette und Mike (die Eigentümer) wohnen nebenan, sind nahezu "unsichtbar", jedoch jederzeit ansprech- und erreichbar, sollte es Fragen oder ein Problem geben, die perfekten "Gastgeber". Dieses Objekt können wir absolut jedem empfehlen, der die Ruhe und Erholung sucht. Die Lage ist zwischen Olivenhainen und Weinfeldern etwas abseits gelegen, man fährt ein paar Minuten mit dem Auto nach Oria oder in die umliegenden Städte. Gerne wieder!

Fantabulous

This is possibly the best property we have ever rented. The helpful but inconspicuous owners are just next door but they’re information on arrival and written info, meant we didn’t need to disturb them. It is a peaceful haven in this crazy world. Lovely walks around the villa, beautiful clean pool to swim in. Peaceful tranquility. We loved the allotment behind the villa and used it each day. The villa is well equipped with everything we needed. This included bug stuff. Yes the mozzies are bad. Highly recommend this villa if you are looking for a quiet, clean, rural stay.

comoda, spaziosa e ben attrezzata ma problemi con l'energia elettrica

Il proprietario Mike è davvero cordiale e gentile , si è messo subito a nostra disposizione e ci fatto trovare all'arrivo alcuni generi essenziali visto che i negozi erano chiusi. La casa è spaziosa e le camere sono luminose , ci sono all'esterno spazi coperti dove poter cenare o pranzare, c'è un barbeque ben attrezzato e c'è anche un orto dove abbiamo raccolto melanzane, peperoni, pomodori, pere, mele e uva. La piscina è abbastanza grande e pulita, attorno ci sono delle comode sdraio per prendere il sole , purtroppo trovandosi in aperta campagna gli insetti volanti non ti lasciavano godere un meritato relax. Altra problematica l'energia elettrica che aveva forti sbalzi e l'autoclave che serviva a fornire acqua ai servizi andava in blocco, a volte capitava proprio mentre si stava sotto la doccia.

Una vacanza a 5 stelle

Vacanza bellissima in questa villa dotata di tutti i comfort: spaziosa e ben organizzata la cucina interna nel soggiorno, 3 stanze da letto tutte con aria condizionata e due bagni in casa. Abbiamo sfruttato anche la comoda cucina esterna e la veranda che si affaccia sul giardino e la piscina. Ottima la posizione dell'angolo barbecue che ci ha consentito di fare succulenti grigliate. La piscina poi è ben separata dal resto della casa da un piccolo viale immerso nella lavanda e altre piante aromatiche ed ornamentali. Nella zona piscina, a disposizione 7 comode sdraio, poltroncine sotto al gazebo, un bagnetto essenziale e la doccia vicino gli ulivi. Da questa zona, si può accedere all'orto, ben tenuto da Mike, e a cui si può attingere liberamente. La cortesia e la disponibilità di Mike e Annette ci hanno permesso di trascorrere una vacanza davvero in relax e di affrontare i piccoli problemi che abbiamo avuto per delle interruzioni di corrente, risolti con tempestività da Mike. Esperienza da consigliare e ripetere.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Constable

We moved from Scotland to Puglia in 2007, having enjoyed many wonderful holidays in Italy in previous years. We particularly enjoyed our time in Puglia and made the decision to move out here permanently.

To us, Puglia is a unique region with so much to see and enjoy from the stunning beaches, crystal clear seas, to historic architecture, up and coming boutique wineries, and restaurants serving fresh local produce. There is something for everybody.

We look forward to welcoming you to our villa which we have developed over our years here and to sharing our enthusiasm for this region.

What makes this property unique

We live close to the villa and are on hand 24/7 should we be needed and we're very happy to help and advise on anything during your stay. However, we keep a low profile and the pool is solely for guests use.
