A piece of heaven
We had a fabulous week and our host advised us on daily activities plus making wonderful recommendations for restaurants and she made the reservations for us. Came to meet us even though we were a late arrival and also arranged for the housekeeper to cook two dinners for us. Five stars to you

Too cosy to leave!
This owner family’s summer home is very clean, cosy, and comfortable. I immediately felt as if I returned to granny’s house when I was a child. The charming house has a story of the sea and the spirit of someone who deeply loves the sea. I am sincerely grateful to the owner for sharing with us the charm and gastronomy of the Adriatic Sea. It takes only one minute to the sea. Many extremely delicious restaurants nearby. Above all, the house is tremendously cosy inside and outside. We recommend this place with the highest mark!

The Perfect House and Perfect Host
We stayed at Villa Aquaviva as our home base for our trip to Salento with my wife and both of our parents. The house couldn't have been more perfect, and exceeded our expectations in every way. The house has 3 outside patios, one with a great view of Castro and the Adriatic Sea and the other in a beautiful garden, and the upstairs has a wraparound patio which each bedroom has access to. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything one could ask for. We had people aged from 35-75 and everyone agreed it was the perfect house for the trip. There is a great beach club called Lido Fico within walking distance and you could also walk down to the Aquaviva cove and swim on a short walk down to the ocean. Another main highlight was Marinella the host, who was the best host I have ever had on a short term rental. She put together a rough itinerary for us which gave us ideas for our trip, and helped tremendously with our dinner reservations. Not only did she get us a reservation, she had us placed at her favorite table at the restaurant which of course is the best table. She was very responsive and extremely helpful. I would 10/10 recommend Viva Aquaviva and will likely return on my next trip to Apulia if Marinella will have us. Blake

Perfection in all ways
We had the delight and pleasure to stay at Marinella’s property. She greeted us with the most exquisite meal and lovely bottle of white wine. She was a wealth of knowledge as to the surrounding area and even arranged for us to have an incredible day on the water exploring the sea caves of southern Puglia. The home was well stocked for all our cooking essentials (which we used daily) and there were 2 terraces for either morning breakfasts or evening dinners. The only disappointment was having to leave. Marinella was the most accommodating and awesome host we’ve ever experienced. Look no further. . This property will make your trip a memory to cherish for years to come. Thank you so much Marinella.

An idyllic stay in Salento
My husband and I along with four best friends just completed our stay at Villa Aquaviva in Castro...aptly named the pearl of Salento. Six stars for sure! The villa, decorated meticulously in nautical style, is just steps from swimming in the clearest, calm water. Marinella and Carlo were the perfect hosts, providing detailed itinerary of best places to visit, restaurants, etc. They truly strive to make your visit perfect. Also, employees Pina and Cosimo are exceptional at providing meals if you like. We enjoyed a tour of the coastline in our hosts’ personal dingy...stunning vistas and crystal water. The area is very accessible to other important areas in Puglia that one may want to visit, but when we did, it was always a treat to return to such a lovely, restful place. We have travelled extensively in Italy, and this trip ranks as one of the top. Each of our friends echo these words and more. Most highly recommended as a beautiful villa to relax and enjoy a wonderful area before everyone else discovers it!

The best place in Puglia!
Since we arrived, Marinella, her husband Carlo and the staff that work with them, helped us with everything and every detail was taken care of. Five stars service, and house. They also took us on their beautiful boat for a day trip along the coast, and everything worked better than expected! Highly recommended.
