A thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing week at this super villa. Lots to keep the kids entertained whilst only a short distance to picturesque hill top towns and the coast. Fabulous to have the concierge service to help with booking restaurants and recommendations.

A fabulous week in this beautiful villa - it's all gone far too quickly. We've enjoyed our excursions to Monopoli old town, Poligniano, Alberobello and Ostuni. The villa has been a welcome oasis in the afternoons. The children have hardly left the pool, apart from to play pool, table tennis and table footie. Thank you, Francesco for all of your help and advice and for booking 'the best pizza I've ever eaten' according to our kids. So sad to leave.

Thank you for having us to stay at Villa Favorita. We have had a wonderful time. The kids have barely left the pool and their swimming skills have come on in leaps and bounds. Francesco welcomed us and was always available for tips and suggestions on WhatsApp. Angela made sure we had everything we needed and cooked us a delicious meal for our last night. The week has flown by and we wish we could stay longer.

We've had the most amazing holiday, lounged by the pool, visited Monopoli and seen the trulli houses. This villa is truly incredible, we've had so much fun in the pool and layed in the sun. It's felt like being in a castle and we are the princesses. This past week has felt like a dream that we don't want to leave. I hope you have as lovely of a holiday as we have.

We have spent two wonderful weeks at Villa Favorita, enjoying everything about this beautiful villa. Lots of time spent reading by the pool, swimming, family pool tournaments, eating figs from the tree. The local shop is great for focaccia and fresh fruit, and other basics, and water from the local pump is cold and fresh. A meal cooked by Angelo was AMAZING and Francesco has been fantastic, always on hand to answer any questions and able to book restaurants whenever we asked. We have loved our time here and hope to return.

Back from a wonderful stay at Villa Favorita. Everything was perfect, villa stunning, beds and pillows really good quality. But the best thing about our stay was Francesco (concierge). He gave us all the local knowledge on restaurants and things to do. All his suggestions were brilliant. He made our holiday - thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Favorita in Puglia. Francesco was very friendly, smart and arrived on my birthday with Prosecco which was lovely touch. Booked restaurants for us and very helpful.

We’d recommend Monopoli Old Town, Ostuni, Alberobello, and some great local pizzerias for takeaways. We found there was no need to make reservations – provided we arrived before 8pm. Nicolo and Francesco were very helpful.

Villa Favorita is spectacular, particularly the wonderful outside kitchen and pool. Many thanks to the Simpson team both here and in the UK; after 2 years of Covid cancellations it was well worth the wait.

Once again Simpsons provided us with an amazing holiday experience. It was our second visit to Puglia with the company choosing to return after having such a wonderful experience first time around. I would highly recommend a visit to this part of Italy. Our holiday was made even more special by the beautiful villa we stayed in. Villa Favorita definitely lives up to its name! It was spectacular! A massive thank you has to go to the two wonderful Simpson’s Italian representatives, Ketty and Francesca, that were available at all times of the day to assist us as and when we needed them. They made us feel very exclusive as if we were their only clients( which I’m sure certainly was not the case). We really appreciated all their help and advice. We have only been home a few days and we are already planning our next trip from the Simpsons brochure.

Villa Favorita is simply outstanding, especially the outside pool area, the decor and the facilities. It sets a very high standard for all future holidays! The villa owner includes a meal cooked for us, which was amazing. Francesco, the concierge, went out of his way to return my daughter’s shoes which she left behind on the last day. One of his team drove out to the beach club we were at to return them. Outstanding customer service!

What a beautiful setting and wonderful villa! Many happy relaxing days here spent by the pool, peppered with excursions to Ostuni. Locorotundo, Albarabello, Cisternino, Monopoli, Polignano and most spectacular of all, Matera. Franceso, Angela and the team have been delightful to deal with and very helpful.

Villa Favorita is a wonderful place to spend time with loved ones. We stayed for a week but leave with a lifetime of memories. Thank you Francesco for all of your kindness. The boat tour and dinner by chef Angela was the highlight of our trip. We cannot wait to come back.

What an amazing place to stay! We loved every minute of our week at Villa Favorita. The pool and outside area were just spectacular. Glad we had it heated though as it offered us hours of fun playing in the water. Great area to explore – loved Monopoli, Conversano, Polignano a Mare, Locorotondo, Alberobello, etc. So many lovely places and so unspoilt. Many thanks to Angela and Francesco for all their help. So attentive and quick to respond. We will certainly return to this lovely villa.

We were looking for the perfect place to relax, switch off and take a break from the world….and we found it, right here. Absolutely faultless, everything you could wish for and more. Absolutely loved every aspect of this truly magnificent and unique villa. We hope to return and enjoy the focaccia and tomatoes – heaven. Thank you so much to Francesco who makes this place sparkle!

What a wonderful week we had in this glorious place. We just didn’t have enough time to enjoy all the things on offer. The highlights for us were a visit to the old town of Monopoli and an early morning trip to Alberobello. Above all, family pool fun, billiards and lovely meals and wine. Our thanks to Francesco and the team for making sure that everything was perfect at Villa Favorita.

Villa Favorita – absolute perfection and a magnificent building. It was a pleasure to stay there for a week – I wish it could have been longer. Thank you to Francesco and his team, they are certainly on top of their game – I am mightily impressed with their organisational skills.

As the gates opened, Francesco was there to welcome us. He enthusiastically showed us around Villa Favorita which is a peaceful haven away from the hectic life in the UK. The pool and facilities were amazing and night times very quiet. Francesco was an amazing host.

We would use Simpson Travel again and again. Villa Favorita is amazing and the Simpson Travel representative, Francesco, was just wonderful. No negatives, just an exceptional service.

Thank you to Francesco for all the effort he made to welcome us to Villa Favorita as well as the information on points of local interests, restaurants, etc. The villa is lovely and so comfortable, even if we did spend most of our time by the pool. I do hope to return as it could not have been more perfect.
