We have just had the best 10 days at Villa Tiziana. Two families with 3 teenagers. Beautiful rustic villa, incredible pool and outside space. Everything you need and supermarket just 5 minutes walk away. Communication with Rocco was excellent, he also came with his lovely family one evening to cook a meal for us, authentic Puglia dishes. There is a small town nearby, Santa Maria de Leuca with plenty of restaurants. 15 min drive is Pesculouse with the most beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea. Lots to see and do in the area. Will definitely come back. Thanks Rocco.
This property is absolutely stunning. The pool is a dream. So large and the outdoors is beautifully decorated. Our communication with Rocco was great before and during our arrival and once on site. He and one of his friends helped get us a 3 hour boat tour along caves of Santa Maria De Leuca with Mari 2 Leuca.
The villa is lovely and decorated in Italian style with what looked to be some classic beautiful furniture not modern. It makes the villa special.
It was a little difficult to find at first as the road sign name is worn off from the sign. But once we found it it was so easy to access Castrignano or Santa Maria De Leuca.
If we would ever return to this area Iâd rebook in a heartbeat.We had 4 couples and it was fantastic we each had our own private bedroom that were independently air conditioned. We each had our own bathroom as well.
The outdoor veranda was were we spent all our time when not in the pool.
Highly recommend this property.
I think we were probably the first guests of the season as the rooms smelt musty and the beds were damp. After a couple of days this improved. The rooms in the main house were better as we had hot showers but the outside rooms struggled to get hot water and the water didnât drain away properly.
Not all the rooms had hanging space in the wardrobes and there were very few hangers.
In spite of the above, we had a fabulous time, loved the area which had a good supermarket nearby, fabulous restaurants and beaches. If the above problems were sorted it would have been perfect.
We arrived and were greeted by Rocco and Tiziana (the owners) that made us feel at home. The house is very well decorated and has everything you need (bedrooms with AC, a large and very well equipped kitchen, TV, wifi, ecc). The best part is the garden with beautiful trees and flowers all around a huge swimming pool which we enjoyed very much when back from the beach. In the evenning we had some great barbecues in the garden while the kids were still playing in the swimming pool. Just a minute from the Villa there is a nice market which made it easy to get anything we needed. The beach is just 5/10 minutes from the Villa which also was quite nice. When we needed something (eg babysitter) Rocco was very helpful in providing anything we needed. I highly recommend Villa Tiziana and will for sure go back.
Rocco and Tiziana, thank you for making our holiday so special!
Three generations of our family, with 4 children between 7 and 11 were here for a week. Our initial impression was that the villa and gardens were a spectacular setting but the accommodation areas were a bit basic and not what we expected for the 'luxury' description, as has also been described in other reviews.
Be aware that the two outbuildings are the original old farm buildings/trullis. This therefore with young children gave some complications for who would sleep where.
Rocco, our host was very helpful giving recommendations for restaurants and for a boat trip to the caves with Stefano, who tailored it to our needs and was wonderful.
The kitchen was well equipped for the eleven of us for cooking and eating in for some of our lunches and evening meals and there are two big fridge freezers, which was perfect for keeping food, water and alcohol cool!
By far the star of the villa was the pool and garden area. We virtually lived outside the whole time, the outside covered area was perfect for us all to eat together and for shaded sanctuary from the heat of the day for reading etc.
In summary it is a charming place in a beautiful setting and just a little bit of maintenance and updating/replacement of some of the 'tired'/broken equipment and fittings would make a big overall difference.
In the end, we fell in love with the place and its rustic charm. Overall the positives far outweighed the negatives and we would re book it if the opportunity arose.
Our two week stay was all we wanted it to be. We explored surrounding towns of St.M. de Leuca, Castro, Lecce, Gallipoli and many other tiny villages surrounding the villa. The locals were all welcoming, friendly, always ready to assist us and in so many instances showered us with small gifts like fresh lemons and other produce, local wines, and regional olive oil!
To explore as we did, a car is a must, as only one seaside town in within a 30 minute walk.
We requested to have some meats, cheeses and wine available upon our arrival since we arrived about 2200 and our host, Rocco, had a marvelous spread for us that filled the long kitchen table. What a feast!! Thank you, Rocco. And thank you also for being available to us whenever we had questions or concerns.
At one time the villa must have been quite grand; it is now a bit "tired". The sun and rain shelters leak; outdoor furniture, for the most part is wobbly and rusted; the pool bar area is not usable, nor were the grill and fire pit. But in a way this added to the charm of the villa because it didn't have the five star hotel "stuffiness".
The pictures of the villa were misleading in that the staging was far superior to the actual condition of the property as a whole and must of have been taken many years ago.
We spent many relaxing hours around the pool which is the highlight of the property and if your stay is a short one, can provide sufficient fun for the whole family without having to leave the villa.
Arrivederci !
Wir sind als grosse Gruppe gereist. Die Villa hatte genĂŒgen platz fĂŒr alle GĂ€ste und die Zimmer waren wunderschön. Jedes Zimmer hat sein eigener Charme. Der Gastgeber Rocco war sehr sympathisch. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank Rocco.
We had a multi- generational holiday at this villa and everyone would highly recommend it.
The main house has a large kitchen, sun room and three spacious bedrooms. There are also two lovely additional bedrooms away from the main house. So privacy for everyone.
The outdoor spaces were fantastic. The pool was wonderful, everyone spent hours in it. There was a lovely dinning and sitting area beside the house as well as a bbq area and gazebo w/bar. There is a well stocked Eurospar/grocery store nearby but a car is best for getting into town.
Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von 8 Freunden in der Villa
Besonders der groĂe Pool und der groĂe Garten waren ein Highlight
Check In und Check out waren problemlos und auch Tipps von unserem Gastgeber Rocco waren sehr hilfreich
Spectacular stay for Family-Like a Resourt but PRIVATE
Rocco is a great host and the location is perfect. The pool is to die for and our grandchildren and entire family never got enough of the pool and surroundings. Trips to the beach were a breeze (but go early) and the restaurants (more than we could count) were all great, as was the local market. We will definitely return.
Thanks Rocco

I booked this villa for my 60th birthday along with my children and their partners so 9 adults in total. This villa has a rustic charm all of its own so if you want a modern high spec property then donât book it. This is an Italian rustic villa with its own charm and is adequately equipped for all of your needs. It has a great swimming pool which is the best feature of the property. It has large gardens and there is plenty of space for everyone. We all loved it here. There is a supermarket up the road which sells everything and a very good restaurant half a mile away. Rocco the owner does not speak English but we managed to communicate perfectly well through translation app on the phone. He was very helpful. I would thoroughly recommend this villa and consider it to be great value for money.
The landscaping of the property and the pool are breathtaking with gorgeous palm trees, a gazebo and waterfall. Colored lights come on at night. We loved sitting outside for meals at the long table under the covered area. There were 10 of us. Rocco and Tiziana are wonderful hosts.
ho soggiornato insieme alla mia figlia (13 persone) a Villa Tiziana nella settimana dal 28 maggio al 4 giugno. Che dire!? esperienza davvero ottima! la villa Ăš molto bella, spaziosa e ben tenuta; la parte esterna con la piscina/lago davvero impagabile! a tutto ciĂČ si aggiunga un'ottima posizione che ti permette di raggiungere le spiagge piĂč belle in soli 15 minuti di auto. E poi ci sono loro Tizina e Rocco, i proprietari, che sono sempre pronti ad intervenire per risolvere qualunque problema e fornire consigli utili per vivere al meglio il salento. Rocco, per di piĂč, Ăš un cuoco davvero ottimo e l'ultima sera ci ha offerto una splendida cena di pesce cucinata direttamente in giardino! tutto molto bello
Villa fantastica, corrisponde perfettamente alle foto, relax privacy e tranquillitĂ sono stati la prerogativa di villa tiziana. I proprietari molto accoglienti:, Rocco grande chef ,ha cucinato per noi una sera con la moglie Tiziana sono stati un mix di cordialitĂ simpatia e gentilezza.
Vacanza indimenticabile da ripetere senza alcun dubbio.
The vila is like a small rustic hotel in a well preserved exotic and olives garden, beautifully decorated and well thought of for the comfort of guests. The villa consists of the main house and two attached smaller houses. The pool is amazing, perfect for children and huge, you want to stay in it for the entire day. The view from the kitchen window to the garden is beautiful. The hosts Rocco and Tizianna are wonderful, with their care, immediate response to all our needs and amazing welcome package of fruits, their own olive oil and tasty potatoes that we were enjoying for entire two weeks. Such care makes you feel like at home.
The villa is very conveniently arranged with very large table in the garden for dinners of some 15 persons, several other spaces for rest, there is plenty of shadow in the garden to hide from the sun. The vila is a bit difficult to find from the first time, but it is perfectly located next to two small towns, and although the vila is in a very private place outside the village, the supermarket is a few minutes walk with wonderful Italian cheeses and great service and for those who do not cook at home, agricultural restaurant is in a walking distance also. The rooms in the villa are beautifully decorated in Italian style with rustic touch, each air-conditioned except two in the main house that share one conditioner (so no problem) and the kitchen that has none. The vila has everything you need and though we would have like to have nice kettle for tea drinkers, we are fully aware that in Italy coffee is first choice and this is a small detail not to sound too perfect :) The crystal clear water of the sea was a nice surprise and many grottes to visit from the nearby town of Santa Maria di Leuca was a good choice for those looking for excursions.
We highly recommend the vila for those who value privacy, come in large group with kids and wish to have a very relaxed athmosphere during vacation. Million of thanks goes to Rocco and Tiziana.
We had an amazing time in the villa with a group of 10 friends. The reason why we booked the place was the swimming pool and this looked even better than on the pictures. We loved drinking and dancing around the pool bar while listening to music over there. Furthermore, the house has a big kitchen, well equipped with almost everything you need to prepare a proper meal for a big group. The only thing that could be better are the showers. There is little water coming out of the showers in the annex. Nonetheless, we had an amazing time and we would recommended the place to other groups.

Esattamente come in foto
Villa molto bella , proprietario cordiale e presente.
We came from Alberobello, and stayed one week in Villa Tiziana before we continued to Matera. We were 3 families (total 11 persons - kids from 13-17 years).
We had an absolute great time in the house. The garden and outdoor area is a true paradise - plenty of space to sunbathe, swim, play, read, exercise... and it is so beautifully designed. Huge credit to Rocco, the kind owner!
We enjoyed the quiet and countryside location: a supermarket 10 minutes walk away, agricultura Serine 10 minutes walk away where we had a wonderful dinner one night, Leuca only few minutes drive away with beaches/restaurants, etc and Castrignano few minutes drive away (we had a great dinner at Braceria Petracca one evening!).
Super excursions by car to Porto Badisco and Otranto one day, and Baia Verde and Gallipoli one day. The beach Maldive the Salento was also very nice, though crowded.
Thank you Rocco for a marvellous week!
