If you're considering Puglia for your next luxury vacation in Italy, you're making the right choice! This region is full of charm and elegance, authentic yet open to international tourists seeking unique experiences.

However, perfection doesn’t exist, and while Puglia is a magical region, not everything can be taken for granted. Choosing the perfect luxury villa might seem easy at first, but in reality, it can make or break your vacation experience. A poor choice can turn your stay from “exclusive” to just “okay”… and we won’t let that happen!

Why Choosing the Right Location in Puglia is Crucial for a Perfect Vacation

First and foremost, location in relation to major cities and airports.

Why is it important to choose the right location in Puglia? Because the region is long and narrow, and public transportation is not very developed, meaning that renting a car is a must.


Since Puglia stretches along the Mediterranean as a long and narrow land strip, it’s essential to choose a villa well connected to the international airports of Bari or Brindisi.

The best areas to stay in are:

✔️ Brindisi and Bari provinces,

✔️ Valle d'Itria,

✔️ Fasano area.


Choosing a villa in these locations allows you to be within 20 minutes to a maximum of 1 hour from the main airports, while also staying close to some of the most stunning towns like Lecce, Polignano, Monopoli, and Ostuni.

🏖️ Best nearby beaches?

  • Torre Guaceto,

  • Punta Prosciutto,

  • Other authentic seaside gems.

For example, Borgomadre luxury villas in Puglia are only 20 minutes from Brindisi airport and are perfectly located for visiting the most beautiful coastal towns in Puglia.


Privacy & Exclusivity: How to Ensure Your Villa Offers a Secluded Retreat

Another key factor? Privacy.

Some areas in Puglia are highly urbanized, even in the countryside, making it hard to find true seclusion.

Before booking your villa, ask the following questions:

✔️ Are there many other villas nearby?

✔️ Is the property too isolated or too crowded?

You don’t want to be completely isolated, but at the same time, you want to avoid noise, crowds, or excessive neighboring properties.

🏡 Borgomadre villas, for example, are perfectly positioned to offer the ideal balance of seclusion and accessibility!


Authentic Italian Countryside: Olive Trees, Nature & Puglian Landscape

Let’s talk about Puglia’s breathtaking countryside, olive trees, and natural landscapes.

Unfortunately, 20 years ago, a bacteria called Xylella attacked the region’s olive trees. Many trees in the Lower Salento dried out, leaving behind landscapes that resemble deserts.

🌳 However, not all areas were affected! Farmers and locals have been planting new olive trees, but of course, these are smaller and less charming compared to the century-old olive trees you can still find in Borgomadre, Ostuni, and Fasano.

When choosing a villa, consider the surrounding landscape. Staying in a property with lush nature and centuries-old olive trees will enhance your experience!


Luxury Amenities & Services: What to Look for in a High-End Villa

Not all villas advertised as “luxury” truly meet that standard. Over the years, many non-luxury properties have been marketed as exclusive high-end retreats.

Here’s what to watch out for when booking:

✔️ WiFi quality – ensure strong and reliable internet.

✔️ Underfloor heating – modern heating instead of outdated systems.

✔️ Heated swimming pools & Jacuzzis – check if pools are temperature-controlled.

✔️ Exclusive services – high-end villas should offer options like:

  • 👨‍🍳 Private chefs,

  • 💆‍♀️ Wellness treatments directly at the villa,

  • 🏄‍♂️ Personalized experiences & activities.

A true luxury villa in Puglia will provide these premium services.

Borgomadre villas offer all these exclusive amenities, making them a quality benchmark for luxury stays in Puglia.
