From the Guest Book
Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Ottoconi is a lovely villa and we enjoyed the solitude and the comfort. The pool was a great place to relax in the afternoon, and we liked the pleasant view over the hayfield, the comfy beds, the well appointed bathrooms and the location. We enjoyed the villa a lot we would recommend it to anyone who wants to see this part of Italy.

Ottoconi is the the kind of place you’ve only seen in your dreams. A little slice of heaven in Puglia. Days filled with sunshine, slow family meals, and the kind of togetherness that feels like pure magic. Sometimes a place is more than a destination- sometimes a place is a feeling. Forever grateful.

Everything about our stay at OttoConi was wonderful. Communication with Thinking Traveller was very good and questions answered promptly. OttoConi is a magical and beautiful property. It is well supplied with everything you need for your stay. We felt blessed by the inclusion of thoughtful and delicious treats for an evening apertivo and breakfast by the owner. It was a perfect special detail that we truly appreciated. Everything went smoothly with check in and check out. The owner met us on arrival and made us feel right at home. Everything is very well laid out.

We loved OttoConi, the peaceful location, the excellent restoration, the cosiness and the amenities provided.

OttoConi is a lovely home in a great location for the picturesque towns. I love having different areas to sit, which OttoConi has, and the indoor layout worked for us too.

Both OttoConi and its outside facilities were beautifully presented. The renovation of the old trullo had been carried out with great care and attention to detail. The original features had not been lost and it had everything you would want in a modern home! The tranquility of the location was perfect for us. We loved the feeling of space and being close to the traditional rural way of life. We were a group of two couples and had there been six people in the villa, it would never have felt crowded. All the rooms were spacious, very comfortable and everywhere felt both traditional and modern at the same time! The facilities outside were also superb. The garden was beautifully landscaped with interesting and often fragrant plants and the barbeque, dining and pergola areas were spacious and comfortable. We felt that everyone really cared and that they were all happy that we loved our time. For everyone, caring for OttoConi, and us, was more than just a job. Thank you everyone at The Thinking Traveller. You were attentive, helpful and very professional from my very first enquiry and throughout all of our time with you. We really do look forward to travelling with you again. We have much more of Puglia to explore and learn about.

The Area
OttoConi is situated between the beautiful "capital" of the Valle d'Itria, Martina Franca, and the picture-postcard trullo town of Alberobello. Several other lovely towns, such as Locorotondo, Cisternino and Ostuni, a beautifully restored baroque town with stunning panoramic views, are close by. Taranto is also well worth a visit and easy to get to.
If you're looking for beaches, the Adriatic coast offers stretches of sandy and rocks and some excellent lidos. The Ionian Sea is a little bit further, but the long expanses of sandy beach found there are amongst the loveliest in the Mediterranean.
Further afield, Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto and Monopoli are justly famous towns waiting for you to unlock their secrets.
