Lovely property in beautiful surroundings. A lot to do around the area, though anyone expecting a nightlife more exciting than going to a restaurant would be bored. We loved it.

A stunning property in a lovely spot, we spent a great week here in September '07. We cooked caught-that-day fish on the BBQ and ate al fresco most evenings and felt very spoilt. Cristina was so helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. The restoration is superb, highly recommended.

Superb villa with excellent facilities. We took advantage of the availability of a chef arranged by Christina who was brilliant and would thoroughly recommend.
The only thing we would change is the addition of sun loungers as the deck chairs are ok but not terribly comfortable.

"Congratulations on your new 'home'. It is fantastic-beautifully done! We had a terrific time, though altogether too brief"............................................. Kamal from Karachi
"Thank you for a wonderful time! The quality and beauty of the Villa speaks for itself. We look forward to returning to see the results of the planting....hard work in this heat!".............................................................................. Philip from Cambridge
"So difficult to avoid those puns, "trulli" this, that and everything-but si, it "trulli" is private, peaceful and all so tasteful. The "poolia" with it's own beaches, a vital cooldown in the heat of the day. An excellent location as a base to visit local towns and even the magnificent baroque of Lecce"................................. Nick from London
"We have had a wonderful week in your stunning Villa and have enjoyed eating "al fresco" most evenings and the pool has been a definite highlight. The surrounding towns and vilages have offered us great trips"....................... Penny from Harpenden
"It is difficult to add anything to the superlatives already expressed by previous visitors about the villa, pool and surounds-we merely endorse them all. The attention to detail, both internally and externally do your designer and architect credit-the views from each and every window are wonderful"....................... Sylvia from Hertfordshire
What a lovely surprise Puglia is! Beautifully lush and green at this time of year (October), lots of work going on in the fields, fantastic food and wine and fairytale trulli over every hlll. Thanks John for giving us the opportunity to stay here. The villa is lovely. In fact we love it here so much we have bought our own ramshackle trullo to restore!"....................................................................... Dagmar from Los Angeles

Cassa Rossa is a beautiful property. The house has been designed by a gifted architect, incorporating two of the conical-shaped stone Trullis that are characteristic of the mysterious Puglia region of Italy. White limestone fireplace, floors and counters, beautiful hand-crafted wood cabinetry and french doors and luxurious fittings combine with comfortable furnishings and great-quality beds to make this a heavenly place to vacation for a couple or a group.
The outdoor entertaining area is a dream---the largest, most unusual and beautiful pool you have ever seen, music and spectacular lighting for late evenings around the pool, a contemporary palapa with cushioned seating for 10 and a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen that will tempt you away from the wonderful restaurants of the area to eat at home!
The owner has thought of everything and the quality is that of a much-loved, exquisitely- designed second home, not at all reminiscent of the durable-but-bland decor of the typical villa rental property.
This property is a must for the discerning traveller to this beautiful region of Italy. We are still dreaming about Cassa Rossa and will be back!
