The Villa Bel Sito lies in Apulien in southern Italy between Tarent(50km distance) and Gallipoli (35 km distance).

The house is idyllically situated in a spacious, absolutely quiet property.This generously equipped house has two spacious bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and a practical outside shower as well as a protected terrace with a beautiful view into the green surroundings and an extensive shadowy garden with palm and pine trees, a secure playing field for children.The sea wind and the shadowy garden are making the summer heat quit pleasant. The property is completely enclosed and from outside not visible; you park your car directly beside the house. The equipment is complete: Pots and pans, dishes, glasses and cutlery etc. in sufficient quantity. Bath- and bed-linen is included in the price. Thus you can arrive with small luggage. The living room and the one of the bedroom are with air condition the second bed room has a ventilator.

The property is located between San Pietro in B. and Avetrana in the province of Taranto These are agricultural towns, so you will have the opportunity to experience real, down-to-earth Italian culture whilst tasting fresh produce every day. The area, and especially the capital city (Lecce, sometimes defined as the 'Florence of the South') abounds with art and history dating back to the various occupations of the area through the centuries (Turks, Spanish, Greeks, Moors, etc.). Their influence is evident in the architecture and there is hardly a town that cannot boast a palace or a church that is at least 500-years-old. Do not miss the towns of Gallipoli and Manduria - the old towns are really worth a good visit. There is plenty of exploring to do in the area, of both its natural beauty and historical background. And, at the end of the day, when you are tired of exploring, you can retire to the peaceful and comfortable accommodation.







It is always nice when customers recommend your vacation house. Here is a letter from one satisfied renter, from last summer. We are proud of it!



"My holiday in Italy was a dream come true and my wish to enjoy the less touristy side of Italy was realized. I stayed in a vacation rental villa in the city of Avetrana, situated in the Apulien region which is also called the “boot heel” of Italy. This was the perfect way to experience the local culture and the little villa in Italy served as a great hideaway when I wanted to be alone.



Located in an area in Avetrana called Urmo Belsito, this vacation rental villa boasted a beautiful view of the sea from a rooftop terrace. Nestled on a small hill, my idyllic Italian paradise was within a few miles of the beach on the Ionian Sea. The open-aired balcony offered not only the great view but also a pleasant breeze that was cooling in the warm weather. I enjoyed the fine sandy beaches and clear blue waters and when I got tired, I just dusted myself off and headed to my villa.



This villa in Italy possessed two bedrooms and extra beds for guests (up to four people total), along with the requisite bathroom and kitchen. The landscaping was fitting for the beach town environment and the bricked courtyards were perfect for an evening of dining under the stars. With all the basic necessities and storage, this vacation rental villa made a perfect home base for traveling to other cities in the region like Tarent and Gallipoli. Both towns were within a short driving distance for sightseeing and partaking of various cultural activities.



During my adventures of meandering through the streets of Avetrana, I visited wonderful quaint stores and found some great deals on linens and ceramics and picked up a few lovely bottles of wine. Shopping for food in the markets was a fun experience. The townspeople were so gracious and friendly, even inviting me, a perfect stranger, over for dinner! Just the hospitality alone made my holiday in Italy worth it.



Day trips throughout the Apulien region to cities like Tarent and Gallipoli provided some great times. I rented a car and traveled the winding, narrow roads of the countryside, fascinated by the old stone walls left over from ancient times. The views of the coastline were spectacular and the architecture in these towns and those that dotted the countryside was amazing. My vacation in Italy was studded with valuable gems of sights, sounds and people. Of course, the food was excellent, with rich olive oils and fresh seafood.



All of these day trips to places like Tarent and Gallipoli and many points in between were made possible, thanks to my little vacation rental villa in Urmo Belsito in the city of Avetrana. Having it as my “home base” was a treasure. This little villa in Italy allowed me to relax after a long, eventful day of sightseeing. All the amenities like a washer, refrigerator and stove enabled me to save some money when I needed to do laundry or prepare a home-cooked meal. It was my home away from home! For a great vacation in Italy, I suggest getting the “boot” to the southeast region of Apulien, specifically a quaint little vacation rental villa in Urmo Belsito in Avetrana. You’ll be glad you did!" Richard Flach - f_richard@universii.de 26.09.2005
