Family-friendly holiday rentals in Apulia

We had a wonderful time at Stefano's place with our family of 5. The property and home are beautiful. The kids enjoyed playing in the yard. There is ample patio space for dining or relaxing. We went off season and didn't use the pool but it looks wonderful for the summer. The old stone part of the house has great character. The hot tub is a great way to relax. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax. It's a short 10 minute drive to Ostuni, which has plenty of restaurants, shops, and things to see. We greatly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend the place to anyone visiting the area.

We had a lovely stay at Manuela's. She is a very welcoming person who receives in her peaceful and charming place. The place is representative of what an Airbnb rental should be, i.e. welcome, small touches that facilitate arrival, daily presence and personalized, authentic home. Manuella communicates very well in French: constructive exchanges. Always good advice, Manuela also knows how to be discreet in this accommodation where the houses are glued and share common spaces. The location is ideal for visiting Matera and the coast near Bari by car. We 100% recommend Manuela

Really beautiful location, very quiet, you can hardly hear anything. Something for people who seek peace and quiet. And Salvatore was a very friendly host.

We arrived late in the evening because of a delay in our flight. Cosimo's parents nevertheless welcomed us very, very warmly, took a lot of time to show us everything and even got us a pizza. The house is perfect, nice and quiet, offers plenty of space to relax. All the basic equipment you need was there. The house is beautiful, modern and practically furnished and equipped with many small thoughtful details. The outdoor area is very spacious and offers plenty of shade. It's only a few meters to the beach, and during the week there were no people there. We had a perfect week.

This place is like a time capsule 100 years back. Set right on the beach, amazing property with great views of the sea. Would definitely stay here again. Only problem was that WiFi was not working as internet lines were down and our phone reception was minimal too, so we had hard time connecting with friends/family or even things like streaming music and planning our trips to surrounding towns. The host is great and very responsive.

The trullo was small and cozy, and Maria was super responsive throughout the whole stay. Recommended!

I would give this place and host 6 stars if I could! It’s a HUGE apartment that’s part of a palazzo built in the 1400s. Luigia is the most charming, warm, friendly and helpful host ever! She makes you feel at home and does so many thoughtful things like stocking the fridge with food and beverage items, walking you through the place with the right level of detail and even made my restaurant reservations for me like a concierge. The location is 2 mini blocks off the main square yet tranquil as can be. And the bed is the most comfortable of my 5 weeks in Italy thus far! I love Lecce, this place and this host! Can’t wait to return.

A 5-star accommodation. Large apartment, well exposed, very well equipped, and in a quiet neighborhood. While being close to the beach, and small shops. Bike, BBQ and Jacuzzi available. Complimentary coffee pods and a bottle of red wine. A view of the sea and the breathtaking sunset. We would have stayed there for a few more days. I recommend it 1000%.

Excellent location, superb views would highly recommend the apartment and the area.

Excellent welcome from Angela in a beautiful and quiet environment. Very nice trullo, large room for sleeping with comfortable bed. Beautiful, almost private pool. Well-kept outdoor layout. Thanks again to Angela and her husband for our stay in Puglia

Clodia was an incredibly responsive, helpful and kind host! It is in the perfect location with perfect access to parking nearby. Thank you Clodia! We loved our stay!

We had an incredible stay at Giovanna's place. It is located a few footsteps from an amazing view of the Sassi di Matera. Truly magical every time we stepped outside and easy access to walk down further and deeper. It is a traditional cave type dwelling however it is very clean and comfortable with 2 bathrooms with nice showers and a comfortable large bed. It has a decent kitchen for self-catering and a small table with chairs outside to enjoy some wine in the evening. It was nice and cool inside during the day when we were experiencing 30+ temperatures. Giovanna was a great communicator and was swift to reply to messages and generally easy-going. Thank you for a great stay

Patrizia’s place was amazing. We took the time to sit out in the stairs and enjoy a “home” made meal while watching the Sassi light up and it was amazing. There’s plenty to see around and a good wine bar a couple minutes below. Patrizia was very responsive and helped us get a taxi as it was raining when we left. Thanks again for everything!

Great space. Large, comfortablyl furnished. A worthwhile unique experience. It's musky as noted, but not an issue for a few days and lart of the experience. The outdoor patio space could use a large sun umbrella to make it more functional in the blistering heat of Matera. The kitchen is very minimal, so I wouldn't plan to cook meals other than breakfast (but the nearby restaurants are too good to cook at home anyways). I would definitely recommend staying here.

Thank you for a beautiful stay ! We really enjoyed the terrace with and the cozy apartment!

Wow! This rental was amazing. This property was everything we had hoped for and more. We were greeted by the owner when we arrived. He was very sweet and helpful, and provided us with a few fruits, vegetables, and local food items. The property was extremely clean and had all amenities as mentioned in the listing. We would gladly stay here again.

It was such a pleasure to spend a few days at this hidden gem, hosted by Emanuele, his wife Laura, sister Giulia, and parents Simonetta and Tomasso, all of whom made us feel right at home. We were spoiled by the daily breakfasts they prepared, and Emanuele provided many great local recommendations for us. The pool and surroundings are so peaceful, and the room was very comfortable. We could not have asked for a better place to explore Salento from, or for more generous and welcoming hosts!

Everything was perfect and amazing. We will be back :).

wonderful pool, excellent for swimming & relaxing, calm and beautiful surrounding, beautiful houses and absolutely lovely family that runs the b&b. we would definitely come back!

Excellent host. Wonderful, unique property!

We stayed in the Trulli of Analisa for four nights. It looks nice, complete and cozy. Analisa has done everything to make you feel comfortable. As a welcome, we were offered two warm muffins. It tasted delicious! Slept wonderfully in the somewhat cool Trulli but the extra blanket made it cozy. Thank you Analisa, we enjoyed it. Greetings Kitty and Odette

Giorgio was a great host, gave us plenty of great recommendations and even provided some food for a light breakfast at the trulli

I stayed here with my husband, our babysitter, and two small children ages four and two. We were very comfortable. Everything that we needed was there. It is very central to many areas and very beautiful. I would stay here again if we came back. I highly recommend.

We loved the Trullo, very authentic, peaceful and comfortable! The pool was fantastic, also with a barbecue area, outside seating and a vegetable garden. The place is in the countryside with the sound of cows and harvesters, and you definitely need a car to get around as there are no restaurants or shops nearby. Unfortunately we discovered with surprise that we couldn’t hire a car as we didn’t have an international drivers licence (apparently mandatory in Italy), but our hosts went the extra mile to find a solution, organising a driver for us to the surrounding areas and towns. Don’t miss the opportunity to have traditional dishes prepared by Mery and take home preserves and products made by her. It was a short but sweet stay. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to have a typical Puglian experience !
