Secluded villa with unshared pool (Jun-Sep) surrounded by an acre of olive trees

The villa is set in the heart of the Salento countryside, a wonderfully rustic and timeless part of Puglia in the deep south of Italy. It is extremely well-appointed, with modern facilities throughout and a huge terrace surrounding the entire property, ideal for eating, relaxing and sunbathing. The villa has been insulated to keep it pleasantly cool even during the hottest months, but there is also free air-con in the bedrooms and ceiling fans throughout. There are two double bedrooms, 2 shower rooms (one en-suite), free wi-fi, and a family-sized kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. The living area has a TV with a large library of recent films plus Amazon Prime Video, and a sofa bed providing extra sleeping capacity for 2 further guests.

We have a hectare of land with olive groves (please note we are during 2023/24 replanting our olive trees due to a serious disease affecting the whole region - see our pictures), fruit trees and a vineyard, a stone BBQ, and we are developing a garden with lawn and local flora. There is a swimming pool (June - September) with its own dedicated terrace available for guests' exclusive and private use. The villa is peaceful and secluded, with the owners living only 100m away and always on hand to provide any advice or assistance.We are conveniently located in the middle of the Salento region, 20 minutes from the nearest beach and within striking distance of the entire peninsula. Salento has remained unchanged for generations: it is covered with thousands of acres of olive trees, has historic towns and villages, a spectacular coastal road, and countless beaches and coves. Although popular with Italian holidaymakers, it is seldom visited by foreign tourists and the locals will invariably give you a warm welcome. We are also less than half an hour from the wonderful Baroque city of Lecce, probably one of the most beautiful, atmospheric and yet least-visited of major Italian cities. A holiday in Salento is ideal for people who enjoy beach life, or exploring little-known corners of the Mediterranean - or who just want to relax in comfort, soaking up the summer sun.

A great house with a great host
We stayed for 2 weeks in July and loved the house and private pool. The house has everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. We had a mixture of days by the pool and BBQs in the evenings and days out. We loved the covered terrace which was great as the days were so hot. The air-conditioning in the bedrooms was a life saver. We visited Otranto, Gallipoli, Matera, Santa Maria de Leuca, and Alberobello. There is so much to do. But special mention has to go to Bill our host who was so helpful to us when we needed to get our car into the garage in Cutrofiano. He gave numerous lifts and translated so the problems were solved with minimum stress and disruption to our holiday. We can't praise Bill enough!! We would love to go back 😀

A blissful retrear
A wonderfully peaceful location, we were able to relax and feel at home straight away. Bill was extremely helpful and friendly, willing to help out with guidance for the area. The welcome pack of essentials given our late arrival time was wonderful so we could rest after the journey. If we had specific questions Bill was always on hand and helped above and beyond what is expected. The villa itself was clean, comfortable and spacious with everything you could need for your holiday. The private use pool was a wonderful respite from the heat of the day. We definitely intend to return to the villa to repeat the experience.

Fantastic Villa
Stayed for 8 nights. Communication with Bill prior to our trip was really good. When we arrived he was there to meet us and went through local restaurants, beaches, etc. (His green book is an invaluable source of information). The villa was exactly what we wanted. In a lovely countryside location but 10 minute drive to restaurants and 25 mins to the east, west and south coast, ideal for sightseeing and the beaches. Villa itself is great, spacious, spotlessly clean, huge grounds and great pool. Really enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend.

Beautiful villa in a peaceful setting.
Beautiful villa in a quiet peaceful location. The villa has everything you could possibly need, it is very well equipped even grocery essentials to start you off! Bill and Tracy have gone the extra mile when thinking about their guests comfort and needs. It’s a great spot to explore the surrounding area and off the tourist track. Cutrofiano is the nearest town about a 10 min drive with a few restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. We had a great chilling week here and the pool was very welcome in the August heat!

Lovely Villa
Lovely villa in quiet country location and only 10 mins drive to nearest small town for supermarket, restaurants etc. The owners, Bill & Tracey, were great and could not be more helpful. They live a short distance away, they are on hand should any problems occur, but they are very unintrusive. Bill has produced a very useful 'bible' containing information regarding the villa, local shops and restaurants, and places to visit with maps and directions. This was invaluable. There is a small pool which is wonderful to cool off in on hot days and the covered terrace is perfect for eating outside or chilling on the sun loungers at the end of a hard day's sightseeing. Having spent a month in this beautiful hideaway we can thoroughly recommend Villa Della Mora to anyone looking to explore this delightful part of Puglia. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return.

Comfortable and well-equipped
The property is comfortable and well-equipped and the owners have added lots of nice touches to ensure a great stay whatever the weather. We really appreciated the selection of films on hard drive when the weather was poor, as well as the efficient heater (we stayed in mid-May 2019 when the weather was unusually wet and cool). It's within easy reach of the coast on either side of the peninsula and the owners have provided comprehensive information about things to do in the area, as well as places to eat. We particularly enjoyed Otranto and the drive south from there along the coast road. It was very sad to see so many run down or abandoned properties and diseased olive trees in the vicinity but that did not detract too much from our overall enjoyment of the holiday.

beautiful property
We have just returned from a lovely holiday in Italy. This house in Cutrofiano was by far our favorite property so far. Bill and Tracey have thought of everything to make your holiday memorable. Property was very clean, very well equipped, and there was a very generous welcome hamper waiting for us on arrival. The surrounding area is lovely and very peaceful. We loved it. The only thing I'd suggest Bill changes is the photos on the website, they really don't do the place justice. Thanks Bill.

Perfect, peaceful and in Puglia!
'Such a lovely villa, with a welcoming basket of local food to settle us in & so well equiped with everything you needed including a brilliant, helpful folder to find your way around the area & all it offered. Surrounded by a lovely garden, with own pool & acres of olive groves in the centre of the heel of Italy in Puglia with both coasts only a few kilometers away. Only stayed for one week but felt like home everytime we returned from a trip in the beautiful area. Can't thank Bill enough for his help & letting us have the chance to stay in his beautiful villa. It was a suprise present from our daughter & son & we couldn't have picked a more perfect place to stay!'

Perfectly Delightful Cottage in Puglia
We stayed four nights at this absolutely charming little farmhouse in Puglia. The cottage is set on its own and there is complete privacy. There is a lovely patio that looks out onto olive groves. It is so lovely to sit outside and enjoy the view. The cottage itself is wonderful. It is modern, tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean (which is of upmost importance to me). The owners have thought of every convenience and it takes no time at all to feel at home in this charming villa. There is a town nearby (5 min drive?) Cutrofiano, which is convenient for groceries, etc; however, the owners graciously have fresh milk, pasta, and other bits to get you settled so you don't have the sense to arrive and then have to leave again to get supplies. The location, as far as I was concerned, was fabulous. And easy drive to either coast. The owners live nearby but we did not see them once, except upon arrival; however, they are available should we have needed anything. In all, I completely recommend this great little place and will definitely suggest it to my friends if/when they travel to this gorgeous region. Thank you Bill for providing such a wonderful place to stay in Puglia!!

A little bit of paradise
This is a gorgeous house where the owner photos do not do it justice - it is beautiful. It's a very private environment even though the owners are not far away and are very helpful but not intrusive. The nearest town has many amenities and is only a 5 minute drive away with really friendly locals. The house itself is lovely and has been thoughtfully renovated with everything you could possibly need for a perfect holiday. There is a file of all the information you need alongside recommendations for local restaurants, maps to a variety of areas of interest (if you can tear yourself away) I can't recommend this place highly enough - peace, tranquillity with easy access to all local areas of interest; perfect.

Perfect holiday in a gorgeous villa.
Bill and Tracy's villa is gorgeous - much bigger than it looks in the photos with beautiful high ceilings throughout. We felt like we were the first people to stay there as there are no signs of wear and tear anywhere! Unlike a lot of holiday villas, it didn't feel like the furniture was spare bits of stuff left over from another house, but everything has been cleverly thought out to suit the place. There was plenty of space for your own stuff, a big cabinet in the bathroom, uncluttered shelves and a very well-equipped modern kitchen, with lovely crockery and glassware - it made cooking very enjoyable. Lovely comfortable beds with good mattresses, high quality bedlinen and towels, even lovely thick John Lewis towels for the pool. With shutters and windows, and absolutely no noise, you sleep extremely well. There is air con in the bedrooms but we didn't need it - if you open the windows and shutters during the day there's a lovely breeze through the villa. The double-height patio on the front of the house is enormous - almost as big as the entire villa with a beautiful toffee-coloured wooden ceiling - which is lovely for meals and a shaded afternoon snooze on the loungers. We only ate inside once and made good use of the barbecue. The pool is great too, and the large elevated terrace around the pool means you get a breeze and a great view of the surrounding olive groves and the house, which is surrounded by fruit trees, grass and flowers, and it's far enough away from the house for sound not to travel too far. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water as well. A great asset is the very good internet signal - we could use Spotify for music which would transmit to our speaker by the pool. A great selection of films on the hard drive as well. We didn't go very far as one of our group had a broken foot! We stocked up at the big supermarket (Conad) and got local stuff from Alda just up the road from the villa. However the local pizzeria in Collepasso has a roof terrace and we ate in Cutrofiano as well. It's good for running in the olive groves (nice and flat!) and no chance of running into any traffic. Bill and Tracy's guide to the place is very comprehensive and they're always on hand to answer any questions. It's easy to find as well - you can see the pool on Google maps. Stick to Bill's directions and you can't go wrong. All in all, a perfect holiday. I plan to go back again next year, preferably later when the figs are ripe!

Ideale und gemütliche Unterkunft für Salento
Das großzügige Haus liegt ruhig und ideal zwischen der Ost-, Süd- und Westküste. Es konnten viele Ausflüge gemacht und Salento erkundet werden. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Es gibt quasi keine Nachbarn, die Gastgeber wohnen in der Nähe (fußläufig erreichbar). Der Pool wurde ausgiebig genutzt, da das Wasser stets kühl war, was bei der Hitze perfekt war. Das beste am Haus ist die große überdachte Terrasse, welche man als verlängertes Wohnzimmer nutzen kann. Bill und Tracy sind ausgezeichnete Gastgeber, sehr fürsorglich und sehr diskret. Der Kühlschrank war mit mehr als dem notwendigsten gefüllt, um den ersten Einkaufsstress am Ankunftstag zu vermeiden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! DANKE für den wunderbaren Urlaub!

Ja die Lage ist etwas abgeschieden... aber der Nächste Ort ist mit dem Auto nicht weit und hat eine menge gute Restaurants und ich war nach den vollen Städten und Ständen (Saison) sehr froh über den Frieden den dieser Ort ausstrahlt.
