Fantastic house with garden in a great place!
We loved our stay at Angelita's place. It was a great getaway with a regional feel yet still close to everything you'd want from your holiday in a small town in Puglia. Cisternino is amazing in our view and definitely worth a stay!

Country home near marvelous village
This was the place we were looking for. Charming and rustic country home. We gathered food at the local butcher and bakery and dined in the garden each night. Close to the historic Valle de itria villages. And we loved spending time in Cisternino for a real feel of an Italian village. Angela and her family are lovely and attentive and

Casa Cecca Cisternino
Excellent location both with regard to the local surrounding and the wider Puglia-area with relatively short driving distances to places of interest. The owner/hostess was extremely helpful to fulfill our small wishes during our stay. Also active in recommending restaurants and places to see and visit. The wifi network worked well both inside and outside the villa. The garden area is large and could do well with a thorough cleaning now that the leaves are falling off the treas.

Vacanze a Cisternino
Abbiamo passato delle vacanze meravigliose nella casa vacanza a cisternino. Un bellissimo giardino con jacuzzi. Dei Alberi di Frutta da godere. La casa era pulita e ordinata. Una Tv grande con wifi. La proprietaria Angela e' una donna gentilissima e cortese, che ci portava marmelade e dolci fatti in casa. Tutto in uno abbiamo trascorso un bell tempo a Cisternino.

Absolut empfehlenswert
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das voll ausgestattete Haus mit traumhaften Garten bietet absolute Privatsphäre. Der historische und sehr hübsche Stadtkern von Cisternino ist zu Fuß in 5 Minuten erreichbar. Herausragend ist die Gastgeberin Angelita, die sich extrem um das Wohl der Gäste bemüht, jederzeit ansprechbar ist und weiterhilft. Bei Ankunft haben wir im Kühlschrank verschiedene lokale Spezialitäten vorgefunden, vielen Dank dafür und die schönen Tage in diesem tollen Haus.

Ein tolles Haus am Fuße des Belvedere in der Nähe der Altstadt von Cisternino. Hier hat man alles um sich wirklich wohl zu fühlen. Eine riesige Terrasse, Yaccuzzi, Außendusche und Grill, umgeben von Palmen und Feigenbäumen sind das Highlight. Alles war sehr sauber, die Küche gut ausgestattet. Angelita ist eine sehr herzliche und liebe Vermieterin. Der Kontakt war jederzeit unkompliziert und freundschaftlich. Bei Ankunft war der Kühlschrank voll mit Lebensmittel und Getränken.

A very nice cottage at the edge of Cisternino.
A very clean and welcoming cottage with an enormous garden which in Scottish terms would be a croft. The house is a 3 minutes walk up hill to the Centro Storico in beautiful Cisternino. The owner Angelita was very helpful and friendly, suggesting top eating spots, places of interest and help in getting a taxi for a night out in Martina Franca when we left the car. Her mother very kindly dropped some polpette over to the cottage which were delicious. This was a great place stay in a beautiful part of Puglia.

Lovely home and property
We loved staying in this home and the hostesses were very generous with their time. Not only did they provide food for weary travelers but came back the next day to provide a delicious lunch of pasta and meatballs. We enjoyed traveling along the coast one day and then took a trip to Matera. We loved all the fruit trees. It was the Perfect place for us to relax before we headed to Bari for a cruise. Thank you!

comfortable home near town
We had a lovely stay in Angelita's house. It is a ten minute (uphill) walk into Cisternino, which has a beautiful old town centred around the Piazza. The kitchen was well appointed and there is a basic barbecue in the garden which we used on a couple of occasions. This is the type of barbecue which actually requires lighting a fire and this seems to be the done thing here as at around 7.30pm there smoke everywhere. The backyard has a number of fruit trees and as such my wife enjoyed fresh figs with her breakfast every day. Angelita's Mum, Maria came around one day and taught us how to make Orecchiette from scratch, which was a delight. In town, the locals all hit the streets at about 6.30pm and from 8pm it gets quite busy. We tried one of the Carne al Fornelli (barbecuing butchers) and it was a fun experience.

sejour en juin à CISTERNINO
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans la maison d'Angelina, qui nous a reçu avec beaucoup de gentillesse et de bonne humeur. La maison est tres agréable, avec un grand jardin planté de fruitiers,et d'oliviers. Tout est propre, et bien equipé. Nous avons beaucoup visité les villes alentours, toutes aussi belles les unes que les autres, et bien sûr, un peu de plages pour se baigner, même si un peu de pluie et d'orages présents la 2ème semaine... Bref, des vacances réussis! encore merci à Angelina pour son accueil .

Beautiful home - Exceptional town - Wonderful host
My partner and I had an absolutely fantastic stay here. This beautiful family villa offers space, privacy, authenticity and luxury. The historic home, front drive and terrace are clean, airy, and secluded. It is decorated in the highest taste, with all the necessary facilities and amenities. The expansive grounds and driveway abound with pretty pathways, fruit trees and grapevines, and the large jacuzzi and seating make for a luxurious and peaceful resting space. The old town centre is a mere 5-10mins walk away. Angelita is a wonderful host who is generous, quick to respond and full of excellent recommendations about the local area and region. Getting to know her was a pleasure: the cooking lesson with her mum, and the tour we joined Angelita on at the local olive grove, were highlights of the trip. Cisternino itself is one of the prettiest towns in the region. Brilliantly located, and full of excellent bars and eateries, it has commanding views of the valley and is (somehow) slightly overlooked by tourists. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Ein sehr schönes und charmantes Feriendomizil
Wir hatten das Ferienhaus zwei Wochen gebucht und unseren Aufenthalt rundum genossen. Das Landhaus ist geräumig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Vor allem der riesige Garten hat es uns wirklich angetan. Die Vermieterin Angelina ist einen perfekte Gastgeberin. Wir kamen sonntags an und hatten den Kühlschrank voller Köstlichkeiten für das Frühstück. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Homely holiday house in convenient location
Very comfortable house with lovely gardens to the front and rear, fruit trees, hot tub and feeling of space throughout. Wonderful host in Angelita who could not have been more welcoming or helpful - fabulous welcome basket, made excellent restaurant reservations for us and made helpful suggestions on activities for children. Within pretty easy walking distance of many excellent restaurants and bars in Cisternino. Highly recommended.

Lovely home, gracious owner
The rental was as expected and the owner was even more gracious than expected. Angelita arranged for us to attend a fascinating tour of an olive oil production facility and provided delicious breakfast items (I think her mother made the large fruit pastry). The house is quiet and close enough to walk into the old town for dinner. Cisternino is well positioned to easily visit other parts of Puglia. A minor suggestion is to improve the lighting in the house.

Beautiful home and base for Puglia adventure
We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Casa Cecca. Angelita is a very responsive and friendly host. We were checked in promptly and efficiently on arrival and immediately felt at home in the beautiful house. Well equipped for all our needs. Close proximity to Cisternino but without having to drive and park in town. The back garden and terrace with hot tub are simply wonderful. Angelita arranged an olive oil mill and cheese making factory visit for us which were great fun. All in all our few days at Casa Cecca were the highlight of our trip across Italy. Highly recommend!
