About Villa Rosa
Villa Rosa is a two-bedroom (sleeping 4 – 6), detached villa, standing in its own walled, private gardens and surrounded by mature trees. Completely refurbished and fully equipped, with the added benefit of air-conditioning throughout, Villa Rosa is the perfect place to relax at any time of the year. Parking is available in a private garage which gives direct access to the pool area and to the villa. Alternative parking is available on quiet roads to the front and rear of Villa Rosa.
Whether you want to relax by the private, solar-heated swimming pool, explore the Port of Brindisi, the historic towns of Lecce, Ostuni, Otranto and many others, visit “Trulli Country” or simply enjoy La Dolce Vita the way the Italians do, Villa Rosa is the place for you. Situated in the heart of the Salento but still close enough to explore the Itria Valley, Bari and other parts of Puglia, this is the perfect place in the sun to combine relaxing by the pool exploring the Salento and Puglia!
The private swimming pool (10m x 5m), solar heated, is surrounded by sun-drenched patios, with sun loungers, lilos and other pool toys. At the end of the courtyard there are walled flower beds abundant with bougainvillaea and other flowering shrubs, and a swinging chair perfect for a siesta. The lemon tree will provide freshly picked lemons for your G and T or freshly made lemonade for the children! The local farmers’ market, within easy walking distance, provides a cornucopia of fresh produce and local delicacies. Should you tire of the sunshine, wander to the other side of the house where a number of trees (including tangerine, pear and pine trees!) provide a shady retreat. The patio here provides a perfectly cool and shady setting to relax and enjoy lunch. The gardens have been extensively planted with flowering shrubs.
An extensive library of English books and DVDs, together with jigsaw puzzles and board games are provided for your entertainment.
On your arrival at Villa Rosa, you will find a Welcome Basket, including specially sourced local products and produce and home-made limoncello, to get you started on your first evening in Casalabate. A welcome meal freshly prepared by a local chef will also be waiting for you.
We will personally welcome you to Villa Rosa, the Salento and Puglia. There is a comprehensive guide in the villa with lots of information about the villa itself, the local area, places to visit and things to do. We are available during your holiday to help in any way to make your holiday at Villa Rosa special and memorable. Wey can make restaurant recommendations and reservations for you, provide directions to places you want to visit, arrange boat trips, etc. But rest assured, you will be left in peace to enjoy your holiday at the Villa Rosa.
Before you arrive, if you wish, we can shop for you and stock the kitchen.
We look forward to welcoming you to Villa Rosa, the Salento and to Puglia.
Ciao, Bob and Debbie

Once you have settled in your thoughts will probably turn to exploring the neighbourhood. Villa Rosa is located in a seaside village in the Salento. Casalabate is a small, friendly holiday town, most of the houses are holiday homes belonging to local Italians from the towns of Squinzano and Trepuzzi. In the heat of the summer, they close up their winter homes and take up residence in Casalabate. There is a farmers market on Sundays throughout the year and a supermarket and bar that is open all year. During the main season many other food shops, cafes, bars and restaurants are open, You will find lots of information in the villa about the surrounding area.

What a fantastic week. The owners, Bob and Debbie, were at the villa waiting for us when we arrived and showed us how everything worked. The welcome basket was the best we have seen: home made chutney, marmalade, bread, cereal, meatballs from the Puglian Chef, local wine, milk and more. Such a treat! The villa was accurately described and clean and the swimming pool a perfect size for children. Nothing was too much trouble for Bob and Debbie. We have booked to return next year!

We return to Puglia and this gorgeous villa every year, people often ask us “Why?” but the answers are very simple.
Firstly every year there will be improvements to the villa – whether it’s new furniture, more efficient heating in the pool, re-paving of the outside area, air-conditioning throughout etc.etc. It’s fun to arrive and spot what’s new! Secondly are the things that don’t change – and that is the amazing standard of care you will receive from the owners. It starts with the super generous “welcome basket” which has everything you need to ensure your holiday has a relaxed beginning. No running round, panicking as you try and find a nearby supermarket, just tuck in to your first meal and have a glass of the delicious Puglian wine by the pool! And then, if you’re the private type Bob and Debbie will ensure you get your privacy, but they are always a phone call away. We’ve seen first hand the care they offer when it is needed. We were chatting to them when a call came from guests at their other villa who had had minor accident in their car. Immediately Bob and Debbie stepped in, they were off to help them cope with the whole process, including dealing with the local police and car hire company. That’s the kind of peace of mind you can have when you stay at Villa Rosa.
Next is the advantages of local knowledge. Once again Bob and Debbie can give you advice as to where to go and what to do. With their help we have found out of the way restaurants with local food at amazing prices, wine tours, cheese tasting, fishing trips , the list goes on. We’ve seen the Salento region through the eyes of people who live there and it’s been a privilege and means we find something new and wonderful every time we go.
Lastly this villa is simply the best we’ve ever been to: the best equipped (by miles), the best value for money and the most comfortable. Coming back there now feels like a home away from home.
We’ll be there again next year and are hoping to bring new friends to introduce to the paradise we have found! We can’t wait.

What a perfect place! We were looking for a non-touristy area with a local feel. We wanted a place with a pool and access to a beach. And this place has it all.
The house is wee kept, clean and has everything you need. And if there’s anything amiss The owners Bob and Debbie takes care of it straight away. Not only is there a marvellous welcome pack with a meal, breakfast products and home produce, Bob will also gladly meet and greet (even in the middle of the night) to make sure your arrival runs smoothly. The pool is great and the outdoor seating and dining area used all the time. A big bonus is the dishwasher and washer.
Casalabate is a cosy, friendly and very Italian town with a holiday feel about it. Every evening we enjoyed joining the locals doing their passiate (strolling along the waterfront meeting friends and family for a chat). Bob and Debbie provides you with an extensive what-to-do/how-to/where-to-eat folder which is very handy. Not much English is spoken in Casalabate, but that is exactly what we were looking for and it was part of the fun.
We were 2 adults with our to big teenage sons (14 and 19) and a girlfriend (18) and everybody agrees that this house and small town is the perfect place. And Bob and Debbie are wonderful host – before, during and after. We will definitely be back!
