Everything Is Perfect Here
It is impossible to say enough good things about this beautiful house and exceptional host. But I will say a few highlights. First the house is beautiful, perfectly equipped for meals at home and comfort any time of day. It is spotlessly clean and beds are comfortable. The grounds are gorgeous and tranquil. Salvatore makes you feel not only welcome, but that you are at home. He is very responsive to any need and was always helpful with tips, recommendations and advice. CasaMarisa is in a beautiful small town but close to all the area has to offer. Don’t even hesitate to enjoy this amazing place. I have promised myself to return as soon as possible. Thank you for everything, Salvatore!

Wow, just wow!
Casa Marisa was even better than we had hoped and it will be hard to beat as one of the best villas we have ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean, Casa Marisa was comfortable and we instantly felt very at home here. The villa itself is huge but the outside areas are the greatest asset. Stunningly beautiful, with plenty of seating (for both dining and relaxing), as well as gorgeous views of the valley.
The villa is well situated to travel around the area. We didn't drive for more than 30 mins to find incredible towns and beaches. Castellana Grotti itself was walkable from the villa and included some great pizzerias and bakeries. There is a very cheap supermarket nearby too. The highlight was the very random music events happening close to the villa which kept us all entertained, although I think this was a summer event.
The true highlight of Casa Marisa is Salvatore. A wonderful host who greeted us as if we were old friends and checked in on us at regular intervals. He was on hand to answer any questions we had and gave great advice on places to visit and eat. A true gent and he made our week even better!

Wonderful Stay! Best Host Ever!
We just returned from a week in Puglia. The home is centrally located so it is easy to take driving trips to Matera, Bari, Polignano a mare, and several other places. The home is extremely clean and well equipped. The rooms are air conditioned. Salvatore truly makes you feel at home. He gave us tons of good advice about what to do and where to go. He was extremely easy to communicate with. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat.

Paradise in Puglia
We stayed in Villa Casa Marisa for three weeks in June and July of 2022.
Our whole stay was absolutely incredible and an experience we will never forget.
The villa and surrounding grounds are exceptionally beautiful and are the perfect Puglian escape.
Internally, the house is immaculately presented and mixes traditional Puglian charm with modern amenities.
In terms of location, the villa is about a ten minute walk from the town of Castellana Grotte and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés to choose from. We loved Masteria Caroseno and the Dream Café in particular. The local pizzeria is within walking distance from the villa and offers extremely cheap but very tasty, take away pizza! The food in this part of the world is genuinely delightful and we ate so well every day.
We used the villa as a base for travelling around Puglia and visited many fascinating small towns such as Matera, Locorotondo, Martina Franca as well as the larger city of Lecce. A car is a must for this region and rental is cheaper locally than from the airport.
Finally we must mention the host, Salvatore. He is, by far, the best host any of us have experienced with a holiday rental. He gave us an incredible amount of support and was exceedingly generous with his time, local knowledge and even provided us with surprise gifts such as pastries some mornings or a bottle of wine from a local winery. He made our trip feel extra special and was so helpful with many of the logistics. It is hard to express our gratitude to him for how memorable he made our holiday.
Grazie per tutti Salvatore!

Soggiorno meraviglioso
Un posto così lo consiglierei senza ombra di dubbio: Salvatore è un host meticoloso, preciso, attento, cortese, cordiale e premuroso; ci ha messo a disposizione la villa fornendoci tutto il necessario al nostro arrivo (persino il fette biscottate e marmellata fatta in casa per la colazione dei primi giorni…il top!). Pulizia meticolosa e posizione tranquilla a due passi dalle grotte e dai principali punti d’interesse della Valle d’Itria. Semplicemente perfetto!

Traunaufenthalt bei Salvatore
Unser Aufenthalt bei Salvatore war absolut überragend. Angefangen bei ihm als Gastgeber absolut zuvorkommend immer erreichbar. Er hat uns sehr wertvolle Tipps für unsere Tagesausflüge gegeben und natürlich auch das ein oder andere Restaurant empfohlen. Die Villa liegt strategisch top um die wünserschöne Städte drum herum zu besichtigen. Sie ist zudem super sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet einfach alles was das urlauberherz sich wünscht. Klima in jedem Zimmer Platz ohne Ende und eine fantastische Ruhe. Alles in allem können wir als Familie Salvatore und seine Villa nur mit vollster Überzeugung weiterempfehlen.Für uns ganz klar sollten wir wiederkommen dann nur zu salvatore.
