Costa Merlata rentals with pool

Beautiful property & Will as a host made the process and our time there a lot more enjoyable.The property was clean, had all the amenities you could ask for, the pool was amazing and the property very relaxing. Having our host so close was also very helpful. Would definitely return!

We were a group of 7 family members on a European adventure having traveled from Australia via Istanbul & Croatia to Puglia. The house had everything we required, Will had even stocked the fridge with items for a meal as we arrived late in the evening. Wonderful roses & amazing lemons were available to us for our table. Although the weather was cool, we made use of the pool & sauna (use with caution). Two great meals were had when we fired up the wood oven. Car required to visit local towns & villages.

From the warm welcome, the fresh produce on arrival, and the villa itself, this was one of the highlights of our trip to Europe. A very special thanks to our hosts for their assistance with planning trips and organising transport, which added to the relaxed experience we had on their amazing property. Our 2 young children loved the pool and collecting eggs from the chickens, and the locally produced wine available for purchase was delicious 😋 Highly recommended, would not hesitate to stay again! ☺️

Fabulous outdoor areas with sparkling pool and lovely sitting areas and outdoor dining area. Very bright appealing living/kitchen area in the house with some beautiful decorations. Full air conditioning with individual controls for each room. Fully modernised en suites in all bedrooms. Most helpful and responsive hosts who made us feel very welcome. A few small negatives. Some traffic noise from busy road nearby, noticed mainly when outdoors. Extra plastic tumblers and wine glasses for use by the pool would be nice. Bedrooms dark as outside windows only in the en-suite and open storage shelving only. Also, one bedroom only accessible from outside the house and might be an issue for families with small children. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location, 3 km from Ostuni, was very convenient for touring in the region though no shops/restaurant within walking distance of the house.

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here and it’s everything you hope for in puglia holiday. The property is huge. The pool is my favourite part with the outdoor dining/lounge area and rooftop and trulli second house as a close second. This property is all about relaxation but it’s a short ten minute drive to ostuni or ceglie and about 20 mins to the beach. Francesca the property manager on the ground in puglia is a dream and has great reccos along with the lovely owner rob who can let you know the best local finds. I can’t imagine staying anyplace else. A car is a must have when in puglia and you will love this place so much that like us you would prefer to stay at the property all day and night. We cooked most nights in the huge kitchen and they have an outdoor fire bbq too that we tried that was fun.
