Our last day at the beautiful Villa Silvana in Puglia. Fab hosts in Nikki & Adrian. Wonderful food, great weather and just such a treat to be in Italy relaxing. We will be back.

Just back from a fabulous holiday in Puglia. Can absolutely recommend Villa Silvana. Great villa with a huge pool and amazing views! Perfect for social distancing, face masks the norm in Italy and very fashionable.

Just returned from an idyllic few days in Villa Silvana. Fab venue, great local food and wind & wonderful hosts. So nice to something normal & feel revived after such bad times. Thank you

This was our 3rd trip to the incredible Villa Silvana and we are already looking forward to Puglia 2021!. Despite knowing what was in store, Villa Silvana never fails to surprise with its breath taking views, inviting swimming pool and spacious living space.
This year we explored the local towns of Saveletrri and Locorotondo just a short drive from the villa and well worth a visit (fresh pizza and seafood pasta heaven). We taxi’d there which was easy to arrange and inexpensive – would certainly recommend.
When the hardest decision on holiday is which of the many terraces to sunbathe, have long lunches and sun downers – you know you have found a gem!
Thank you again for a memorable stay

I love this place! It is the perfect location for a relaxing week away. The pool area has recently been redone and provides a beautiful backdrop while you float around with not a care in the world!
The villa has multiple dining areas so you can mix up- either along table for 16 for a formal dinner, or a more chilled wooden table for 8 underneath a wonderful canopy.
The bedrooms ae spacious and thankfully nice and cool as the temperature can get up to 35 degrees during summer
Cant wait to visit again.

This was our second visit to this simply stunning villa! As you arrive you are immediately greeted with the most stunning view which is alone a reason not to leave. From there the surprises get better & better- the food, the pool, the newly updated rooms, the Italian decor all add to the charm. Can’t wait to come back.

I’m writing this review while sitting in the lounge at Villa Silvana. It’s our final evening of a week in this stunning villa. The sun has set for the final time across the beautiful view from the terrace and we are gutted to be leaving. If you are lucky enough to be visiting Puglia then you are unlikely to find a more amazing place to stay. We have been out and about to some truly breathtaking towns a short drive from the villa. Polignano, Alberobello, Locorotondo and finally spent today at Zoo Safari, which we all thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you Villa Silvana for helping us create family memories which will last a lifetime!

Just returned from a mini break - stayed at Villa Silvana. Absolutely beautiful! Only 20 mins from Brindisi airport and 15mins from the coast. Perfectly positioned.
The Villa is tastefully decorated and so very comfortable. Everything you could possibly need has been thought of. Fab pool with pool towels & dedicated shower.
Private chef available (she was fabulous), ideas for where to visit and places to eat in abundance.
It’s simply a must!

Just back from a fantastic short break at the beautiful Villa Silvana. With a view to die for and fabulous hosts Nikki and Adrian, what’s not to love? They were so helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. The photos just do not do the villa justice. Our bedroom was huge with great en-suite shower. We will be back!
We arrived from Naples by Marino Bus - the best value 30 euros we’re ever likely to spend (15 euros per person)! Journey took 4 hours and was extremely comfortable, free WiFi and bang on time. Note, the bus stops at the edge of town (Fasano) and not at the bus terminal but the address is on the ticket.

15 of us (6 adults and 9 children) stayed at Villa Silvana for the last week of August. It is an absolutely beautiful villa with a view looking all the way down to the sea.
The villa is very well appointed and has lots of different areas (“boardgame terrace”, “drinks terrace”) for a big group to relax with lots of space. The pool is large and has welcome shade when it’s hot!
Nikki arranged for us to have catering for 3 nights and the chefs were excellent - cooking delicious meals and clearing up afterwards. Highly recommend going to the Butcher’s in the village for supper!
Villa Silvana is well located for local beaches and to explore the gorgeous local towns. Locorotondo is a must!

We had an amazing stay in the Villa, it's a real haven with stunning views, an incredible pool and lots of space. I loved the welcoming feel to it. There were so many terrace areas that were brilliant for a group of our size.
Little towns are not far away by car so you get the best of both worlds, being in the middle of nowhere but with activities in easy reach.
I cannot wait to go back. Enza was also a great help to us and really took the hassle out of booking restaurants etc. Thank you!

My wife and I were celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary there, our entire family with us.
The location of Villa Silvana, the layout of the property and the decoration of the rooms were all what we had hoped for and even more.
One of the highlights was the daily "Happy Hour" on the top floor of the building with a magnificent view over the valley and the Adriatic Sea.
The fact that our group consisted of 3 generations ranging from 5 years to 80 years was no problem.
There was something to do for everyone.
There are so many things to do and visit in nearby charming towns and places. We definitely would love to come back to Villa Silvana one day in the future.

Villa Silvana is located in a beautiful part of southern Italy; the villa itself is excellent, the rooms are a generous size, and the whole place is nicely decorated, clean, and very well maintained. There is a wonderful sea view from the terraces, and a good sized pool.
The local area has plenty of attractions (we went gokarting, as well as to a wine museum/wine tasting session etc.) There is also a local shop within 5-10 minutes' walk, which is very handy.
Villa Silvana is highly recommended, and I am very much looking forward to going back again soon!

We’ve never been to this part of Italy before but Puglia proved to be a delight, such a relaxed, slow paced atmosphere. Beautiful whitewashed hill towns, stunning baroque architecture and unspoilt beaches.
Villa Silvana was an ideal location to explore this region sitting atop a hillside commanding stunning views. The Villa itself was spacious, luxurious and very tastefully decorated. Even with a large party there was always privacy in the outside spaces if required. Set on three levels, all with roomy comfortable patio areas, as well a a large pool enclosed within a further private terrace.
We’ll definitely be going back - perfect holiday, loved it!

Beautiful villa in the hills with amazing view of the sea.
The hosts have thought of everything to make us comfortable- bedrooms and bathrooms/shower rooms all well appointed and pretty, kitchen and equipment all excellent. The pool area is lovely and secluded and inaccessible to small children. Three different large terraces allowing whole party fun or individual privacy.
The information provided about the area is second to none we have experienced in other villas and the restaurants and shops that were recommended were a great mix and all were excellent.
Could not recommend highly enough!

We had wonderful holidays. The villa was very clean. We appreciate the panoramic view.
I personally appreciated that we had different terraces for different atmospheres, the big swimming pool, the good location (with wind during the day).
It was very good.

Thanks for sharing your amazing home on that little slice of heaven!

Thank you for a lovely holiday!
This is a stunning villa in a perfect location from which to explore Puglia. There is a gorgeous view from all of the (several) terraces down to the sea which is about 20 mins drive. There are pretty towns and villages all in easy driving distance which are fascinating to explore and great places to eat out in but being up in the hills the villa is very private and peaceful and a haven to return to - especially the large pool after a hot morning exploring!

The villa itself is very well equipped with everything needed for a large group - bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. The terraces and patios are great places to get away from it all and mean that even in a large group there is plenty of room for quiet moments.
This is a lovely area of Italy and the villa is a great base for a wonderful holiday here.

We recently stayed at Villa Silvana for a friend’s birthday and it was the ideal venue for a week of sun and celebration. It is a beautiful property with stunning views and the luxurious pool area was perfect for lazy days relaxing with friends. We had many wonderful dinners under the stars in the large communal areas and the BBQ is great for big groups. Puglia has so much to offer and Villa Silvana is a gorgeous base from which to explore. We can’t wait to come back!

We recently stayed at Villa Silvana for a family reunion with 13 family members from all over the US. We had a great time. The villa is beautiful with plenty of room for everyone. It’s so large we were even able to host a BBQ with all 13 of us plus another 10 or so family members who live in the area. The Puglia is a beautiful part of Italy and there’s so much to do all with very easy day trips of the villa. I’d recommend this house to anyone.

We travel to Italy a lot for our holidays and every year all four brothers get together to organize a large family holiday. Of all the villas we've stayed in, this is the best. We felt so at home and so comfortable and there was a lot of us. We had the chef on more than one occasion, the food quality for the price is unbelievable and delicious. There's tons to do in the area and as we were such a big group the owners went out of their way every day to help us book excursions and restaurants. The pool was huge and such fun and the views are mind blowing. Loved It.

OMG
What can I say, the property was fantastic and the pool was brilliant with a super view over the cost more then enough room for our party of 12.
The kids loved it and we felt safe letting them loose on the grounds wich are BIG.
The owners were great, gave us all the space but were always there for help and advice.
All and all brilliant and look forward to our next visit next summer.

What an amazing week, cannot thank you enough for allowing us to stay in your AMAZING place. Everything about it was perfect and so much amazing space for everyone to hang out in as a group!!! The pool area was fab and was perfect for floating around on pizza shaped lilos!

What to say...this villa is a hidden gem. As you arrive you are immediately greeted with the most stunning view which is alone a reason not to leave. From there the surprises get better and better the food the rooms, the Italian decor all adds to the charm....and the pool I could have floated in it for days. Its location is perfect just a short 30 min drive form the airport and right within reach of some quaint villages with really delicious authentic Italian meals. I would could have stayed for weeks and will certainly be back!

The Villa itself was lovely – stunning views etc., loved the terraces and the pool, perfect spot for driving to nearby towns and sightseeing.
Lena was amazing – her food was delicious, and she was so lovely, highly recommend her to other guests and great value too.
However, the restaurants weren't really walkable.

Villa molto bella, con una magnifica piscina.
Vista panoramica, provvista di tutoo quello che serviva per un gruppo di ben 12 persone.
Ottima comunicazione con la proprietaria, Enza la manager, molto gentile e disponibile, cena ottima cucinata dall'eccellente chef Miriana! (Consiglio vivamente!)
A breve distanza da Polignano, Alberobello, il mare stupendo di Polignano e Monopoloi- Capitolo.
Eccellente!

we had an enjoyable time at the villa, Enza was very helpful and we followed both her and your recommendations.. excellent lunch at Il Veleiro in Villanova. Lido Morelli and beach at Gorgonolo great for adults and children. Restaurant Belvedere equally enjoyable. We shall definitely recommend friends to rent out your villa. Thankyou very much once again

another amazing week at VS no wonder we keep coming back. perfect for relaxing with friends with a cocktail by the pool or enjoying the sunset on the top terrace with the new Piaggio bar. Close enough to great towns like Ostuni and Locorotondo for delicious food. try Bosco Verde Beach club - amazing lobster pasta. very grateful for the strong fans in each room and great refurb on remaining bathrooms giving wonderful mix of classic Italian villa and modern living. cant wait to go back next year

Villa Silvana met and exceeded all our expectations. The villa is spectacular, perched on a wooded hillside above the Adriatic, with its own superb pool. The area around is a wonderful mixture of the best Italy has to offer: fascinating and historic towns, amazing beaches, wonderful food everywhere and a real revelation - Puglian wine!

We just wanted to say thankyou for our lovely stay in your villa. We had such a fantastic time. We particularly loved the top terrace bar for our 6 o'clock cocktails. The chef meal was a great success - the best food of our visit - what a great discovery

Villa Silvana was perfect for our group of 6 adults and two toddlers. We could have easily fit in more and not felt over crowded. There are so many places to relax and dwell…so never felt of top of each other.
The villa accommodation is perfect with great modern bathrooms throughout. The highlight must be the pool, numerous terraces and the BBQ area.
Its easily accessible from the airport and to the local town and amenities.
It’s purely a perfect spot for a large family / group holiday. Wonderful!

A big thankyou for letting us stay at your gorgeous villa in Puglia. It was such a lovely space and perfect spot for a family to enjoy, especially in the very hot weather!. The views were incredible and the evenings we got to spend on the terrace BBQ-ing and chatting altogether were so relaxing and picturesque. The pool was the perfect place to hang out throughout the day and our 2yr old became a proper water-baby. The villa is in a wonderful location with stunning sea views and we were just sad that we couldn't explore more due to the unusual heat - but we will 100% be back to do some of what we missed

If you like Italy you'll love Puglia, if you love Puglia you will adore the gorgeous villa Silvana. A spacious , well appointed and beautifully cared for villa in an idea location up in the hills with stunning views from all the terraces. I didn't want to say goodbye

vVery sad to leave this beautiful place. Enza has been just wonderful. our chef meal from Clelia was perfect. Thanks to Enza for her care and generosity.. We had a wonderful week at the villa. We were 3 families with 4 children under 2yrs. prior to our stay all queries were answered promptly. We hope to return one day

We loved the villa - daytimes were hot so we laid low by the pool and did villages in evening. Great location and facilities. it was very special to unite with family and the villa is so well located. we loved the Piaggio Ape cocktail bar - many a good Americano mixed there

The food from Chef Clelia was out of this world. Fried zucchini flowers were something else and fresh pasta sublime. The whole evening was made very special in this gorgeous place - what a treat

Thankyou very much for our stay in Villa Silvana. It was a fantastic place to stay and visit to that magnificent part of Italy. The chefs dinner was a perfect way to celebrate a special birthday and along with the arrival 'takeaway service' was the precursor for the gastronomic week that Villa Silvana played a leading role. The other contributing factor of the great week was the always helpful manager Enza - no request was too big or too small
