From the Guest Book
Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Our stay at Villa Eterea was a flawless blend of luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. The villa was immaculate and the staff were amazing, so kind and friendly. The owner of our villa was so attentive - he helped arrange a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for us. It was amazing experience!
Toni Anne Summers November 2025
We loved our stay at Villa Eterea and would go back in a heartbeat1 5-star recommendation! Absolutely everything was top notch. The villa itself is gorgeous and the views of Fasano and the sea were spectacular. The Thinking Traveller staff were always friendly and accommodating. There were provisions in the fridge when we got there (most of which we pre-ordered), the coffee was excellent, the bar was stocked and the wine selection was welcomed. It was nice to have a cleaning person come by each day to tidy up and make the beds. This was a family vacation for 10 of us and our little granddaughter and everything was absolutely perfect. Highly recommended - Villa Eterea and also The Thinking Traveller.

The Area
Villa Eterea sits just outside the charming village of Selva di Fasano on the eastern flanks of the Valle d'Itria. Far below is the town of Fasano and a plain of olive groves that runs for dozens of kilometres along Puglia's Adriatic coastline. Apart from Selva di Fasano, the nearest town for shopping, restaurants and other amenities is Fasano. Most of your sight-seeing will centre on wonderful towns of the Valle d'Itria: Alberobello (a UNESCO Heritage Site thanks to its wonderful trulli-laden centre), Cisterino, Locorotondo, Martina Franca and Ostuni. All offer plenty to see, regular markets, as well as a good selection of bars, shops, restaurants and trattorie. One of the attractions of Villa Eterea is undoubtedly that guests may reach beautiful beach clubs, golf courses and spas nearby. World class sites a little further afield include the Baroque centre of Lecce and the stunning walled coastal towns of Otranto and Gallipoli.
For golf enthusiasts, Villa Eterea is only 6km (a mere 15-minute drive) away from the 18-hole golf course of Savelletri.
