“A truly terrible hotel. I have never felt so unwelcome anywhere.”
We liked nothing about our stay in this property. Anyone thinking of holidaying in Puglia should avoid this property This was my worst experience at a hotel in 20 years. The owner was rude and aggressive from Day 1. Thereafter we felt trapped here (for 8 days) and Booking sadly did not care or respond when we asked to leave and stay elsewhere. In a final insult, at the end they overcharged us for our stay (8 nights instead of 7). We were so desperate to leave we paid anyway and left. The one slight positive from our stay was the cleaning lady who was kind and hard working.

Probably the best hosts someone could wish for! The fantastic family of Raffaella and Ricardo made sure we had a wonderful stay and make us feel at home! Attention is paid to the smallest detail! Delicious extensive breakfast with homegrown products and local delicacies. Totally recommend and hopefully will be back soon!

“Unique experience !”
We stayed at Villa Arancia for 10 days; where we felt better than at home! everything was perfect! The atmosphere of the villa takes you back in time; impeccable cleanliness, very good breakfast, fabulous pool! The owners are wonderful people, the hostess is very attentive and nice! I recommend you to visit Villarancia not as a tourist but as a guest!!!

“The best location & hosts we had in our Puglia roadtrip”
The hosts were wonderful, Riccardo and his wife spent time explaining to us the history of the house, where we should go. The house is really amazing, garden with orange trees is super nice! Swimming pool is great. We liked the discussions, the home made orange jam, grapes. We really were treated as guests/friends. We will come back :)

“Great host & lovely stay”
We stayed at Villa Rancia for 3 nights. The rooms were in a classic Italian house. Downstairs lives the family and upstairs are the 4 rooms. The rooms were nice & clean and big! And the airco was very nice with almost 40 degrees outside. The (italian) breakfast was very nice with homemade pastries and marmelade. The host was very helpful with finding a nice beach and reserved beds and umbrella for us. I would highly recommend this place if you want to stay outside Gallipoli. It is a 10 min drive with car. And you can go to the beach by car easily.
