Perfect stay in a beautiful house
Family holiday of 14 (9 adults and 5 children). Right from the start, Maria (property manager) was excellent, fast responses to any questions and no problem that couldn’t be solved. House is amazing, lots of space, salt water pool that’s deep enough for the 10/11yr olds to stand safely, gorgeous side-garden with hammock, boules, orange and lime trees, table soccer and bicycles. Located right on the main piazza in Poggiardo within walking distance of many excellent restaurants, café’s, gelato and cake shops and the market on the square every Wednesday morning!

Great stay in a magnificent Palazzo
The villa was fantastic for 2 families (4 adults, 6 kids). Great pool area and spacious living quarters. Poggiardo is a lovely little town, just outside the villa gates and unspoilt by tourism. Restaurants were of a high standard and served the tastiest Puglia delicacies. The host, Maria, was so helpful in arranging transfers, restaurants and giving advice on the area (including beaches). Highly recommended for a holiday.

Historic expansive property
This is a beautiful house and grounds that is so very convenient, being middle of the town, yet completely private. Attention should be paid to the details of the listing. Maria is exceptionally responsive and helpful.

Delight in Southern Puglia
Our group of 8 adults enjoyed a marvellous time at this unique house. The outdoor areas in Summer were particularly useful, the pool and the shade excellent, the location to many surrounding areas a real treat. Poggiardo is a lovely town, close to Castro and well located for a day trip to Lecce and many wonderful coastal towns. Maria was a delight to deal with. Highly recommend.

Large group holiday
Our group of 6 adults and 5 children (aged 7-12) spent a lovely week in Palazzo Umberto Poggidaro in August 2022. The accommodation is split over three floors which suited our three families. The kitchen is small but the outside space more than makes up for it. The pool area (with a gate) was beautiful and the pool was a great size and depth for our kids who spent the week swimming. The green space to the side of the house was lovely and cool during the heat and the kids loved playing on the grass with the bowls set. There was ample parking for three cars. Palazzo Umberto is a traditional rustic beautiful house - we loved the pool area and outside space. Poggidaro is a small town with some lovely bars and a good choice of restaurants - close to towns such as Ortrano and Castro. There were lots of events on in the town while we were there - the weekly market, a music concert and a Cuban night. We had a great week and would recommend the Palazzo to friends and family.

Just Wonderful
Had a lovely week in Poggiardo. Once inside the property is amazing with its court yard, lovely pool and orchard area - it is like your own private hideaway. The property is well kitted out with all amenities and a well equipped kitchen had everything we needed. There was plenty of room inside and out- although most evenings were spent on the outdoor terrace. - even in October! There are some nice restaurants/bistros nearby along with the local bakery shops/butchers/fishmongers and a good size supermarket. The Wednesday street market is well worth a look. It was a good base for trips to Lecce and down along the coast Maria was very helpful in settling us in and helped us to organise Maria Rosaria to come to the villa to cook an authentic Puglian meal which was a lovely night and would definitely recommend. Can not recommend Palazzo Umberto enough as a wonderful place to stay. Grazie mille!

Lovely villa at heart of the village
The property is well setup and we didn't have any issues at all. The check-in time was 4pm, which was a little inconvenient given the early flight times from London Stansted, but that was our only real complaint. Maria was helpful, gave us information when we arrived and then was available on WhatsApp to answer further questions. Would strongly recommend "Crema & Cioccolato" for ice cream - your best bet is to drive, as the village is lacking in pavements.

Fantastic week at Palazzo Umberto
We have just returned to Norway after a fantastic week in Poggiardo. We went four generations and everyone enjoyed the stay so much. The palazzo is large, so you may have some time for yourself if needed. All necessary equipment required was there kitchen and bath rooms etc. The place was perfectly cleaned upon arrival. Maria was a helping angel; she took care of all our requests and organized minibus rides to the only open lido (October) and transport tour/retour to the airport and so on. Bare in mind that Poggiardo is not a tourist destination and English is not widely spoken, but that is also part of the charm. What can be improved: Maria; you can sharpen the knives in the kitchen. We have no hesitation giving Palazzo Umberto and Maria five stars. Jan Asbjørnsen Norway

Une superbe maison, très agréable pour 2 familles avec enfants
Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine de vacances dans cette villa. Accueil par la propriétaire sympathique et chaleureuse. Une ancienne demeure avec beaucoup de charme et avec une grande piscine où les enfants ont passé beaucoup de temps.

SUCH BLISS...
We spent most of the summer of 2018 at this amazing home in Poggiardo. It makes an outstanding home base to explore Salento and Apulia! First, Poggiardo is a perfect town to call "home" in Salento. The people are welcoming, the town is not pretentious or touristy, most things are walkable for your daily needs. You can easily have coffee and pastry, explore local streets and shops, fix lunch al fresco at the villa, and then dine out deliciously in any number of great restaurants just steps from your door. Then head for the coast -- most of Salento's beaches are an easy day trip. Do you want rocky pools or sandy stretches? The owner can answer any particular questions you have. There are many free beaches within 15/30 mins as well as numerous "Lido" establishments that offer a range of amenities for a fee. The nearby towns are breathtaking. You can wander happily for hours with some new charm around every corner. We especially loved Castro and Lecce. Most have great choices for Salento cuisine -- with crazy fresh ingredients from the nearby sea and farms. We even made a day trip up to explore Trulli country -- also amazing. The driving is easy and parking is manageable for free or for a small fee (paid at a kiosk with cash or card). The house is more amazing than the photos show. It is spacious, and it offers everyone someplace to relax. The owners have done such a tasteful job throughout. We frequently had a houseful (including children) and made the most of the pool and all the outdoor spaces. Tge owners respond immediately to questions or concerns you may have. They are committed to being great hosts and sharing this spectacular part of the world with visitors. Stay longer than you think you should. There is so much to enjoy.... perfect holidays! C.V.
