When you read anonymous reviews, you have to learn to read in between the lines in order to get an accurate representation of what to expect. Everyone has a different perspective on what is important for a place to offer in order to make his or her travel experience a memorable one. When friends ask me for travel advice, I... More

Having just booked another holiday at Villa Magnolia we realised we hadn’t written a review yet! We stayed a week last July, it was above and beyond our expectations…everything was perfect. We arrived early afternoon exhausted after a stressful journey from UK. Immediately we were made to feel welcome and our hosts had a complimentary bottle of Prosecco on ice... More

I stayed at Villa Magnolia in late October. The Villa is very comfortable and well decorated with antiques but with modern bathrooms. As I ended up having to travel alone at the last minute, I enjoyed having an informal venue to meet other travelers.

We borrowed the bicycles to cycle to the beach one day and visited Alberobello on another day to see the Trulli houses and visit their market. Other than that, we sat... More

We had such a wonderful time at Villa Magnolia on our honeymoon that I specifically created a TripAdvisor account just to review it and share our photos. Ron and Lesley are amazing hosts and the property is impeccable. The small organic garden provided a nice addition to our meals, pizza night with the wood-fired oven was incredible, and each day...
