Appartamento Belvedere is a light and spacious modern apartment with swimming pool , approx. 1km from the Baroque town of Martina Franca, famous for its annual international music festival.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Martina Franca, Italy

Ideal for an Autumn or Winter Break: The apartment has both drinkable, mains water and mains drainage so there are no worries about running out of water or having to have lorry deliveries to a storage tank or septic tank emptying. The water comes by aqueduct from the mountains of Basilicata and is of excellent drinking quality.

Entertainment: If you require any food shopping to be done prior to your arrival, this can easily be arranged. We have a modest selection of DVDs, including childrens films and some specialist Italian classics - ideal for the film buff. There is also a collection of maps and guide books and a small library of English language (and Italian) novels which guests are welcome to borrow during their stay. We can also provide advice about places to visit and things to see, should you require a little help. With its under-floor central heating and proximity to the town of Martina Franca, Appartamento Belvedere is ideal for an out-of-season break. Why not escape from those dull days in the UK and benefit from some Puglian sunshine or have a relaxing Christmas away from it all and enjoy the excellent local food and wine

Thinking of Buying your own Place in Puglia?: As well as being comfortable and spacious for a relaxing holiday, Appartamento Belvedere is an excellent choice if you are searching for your own `place in the sun` or are visiting the area frequently in order to check on the progress of building or restoration projects, as we have a minimum stay of only 3 nights and are centrally placed for property viewings.

Other Activities: Appartamento Belvedere is ideal for those visiting the famous Martina Franca International Music Festival, held in July.

Martina Franca

PW Family London
Review Submitted: August 17, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
A great base – Martina is on the doorstep, with Alerobello, Cisternino and Locorotondo all reasonably close by.
The apartment was spacious, comfortable and clean with all modern conveniences.
It was good to come back to the pool after a hard days sightseeing.
This was our second stay at the apartment having previously been in February when the much needed under floor heating and log fire were pure heaven.
A good place to stay all year round

Perfect base for Martina and Valle d'Itria

HappyFamilyUK United Kingdom
Review Submitted: June 9, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We chose this apartment for a short stay with our 3 girls in order to finalise some details on a property purchase. It is excellent value for the size and locality, far superior to the alternative of a hotel (a room for 5 is not my idea of fun!). We were not travelling far on this visit but this would be a great base for visiting the whole Valle d'Itria area.

The pool, as described, is small but private and provided great entertainment for the children. The interior is spacious and was spotlessly clean, it gave us all room to relax and unwind when we weren't dashing around banks and notary offices.

The welcome and local information provided were first class. We particularly enjoyed a local restaurant that was recommended called Sagittarius and the nearby pizza take away and the babysitting service proved invaluable

We would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Martina Franca Holiday

Review Submitted: September 4, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. It was lovely and clean and very roomy - it's quite unusual to have such a lot of space in a holiday apartment. A great location for seeing the sights from and good to have the pool too, especially when it's as hot as it was during our stay. We liked going to Lido Verde and also found that there are some really good beaches on the other side (Ionian Sea). We visited some of the tourist attractions including Alberobello, which is definitely worth a visit but we felt that it was, perhaps, a bit too commercialized for us. Had a great day out at the Parco delle Querce water park also. An excellent holiday - we hope to be back soon.

Martina Franca

Z's loughborough
Review Submitted: August 14, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Enjoyed the holiday as a whole, Martina Franca is well positioned for travelling around to see the sights and has a train station with good links. Was'nt too taken with Martina itself, very busy and driving a nightmare. The apartment is quite a way out of Martina down a busy road with no footpath so just poping out for milk will mean a car journey. The centre of Martina is very typical with its square and the historic centro is very pretty. The apartment itself was lovely and clean and the two girls who look after it are very helpful. I would make one comment though, if you are sleeping in the lounge be prepared to be woken up early, it has a big picture window (which does not open) but there are no shutters on it and the blinds are cream so by about 5.30am it is broad daylight in there.

The pool is not too bad a size but not really for swimming in, although its lovely to relax around if your having a lazy day. Lido Verde beach at Torre Canne is brilliant, you pay for parking and beds etc but the facilities there are briliant, hot/cold showers, changing cubicles and a bar etc.,.

The market in Martina on a Wedneday is very good and the market in Ostuni on Saturday is huge, you can buy anything from a wardrobe to a spool of cotton and the variety of cheese, salami etc., is incredible.

Plenty of variety around for eating out, from little piza place and chicken on spits to pthe posher ent of restaurants. What ever your budget you will definitely find somewhere nice to eat.

Definitely recommend a visit to Alberobello and Ostuni, the zoosafari at Fasano is also a good day out if you have children.

Overall an enjoyable holiday although a car is a must because the apartment is slightly out of it all.
Owner's Response: We always appreciate guests' comments and, as a result of this review, are installing a blackout blind/curtain in the lounge for when the sofa bed is being used.

I would like to draw attention to the pool, the size of which is given in the property description (6.5 metres X 5 metres with a depth of approx. 110 cm. It is triangular in shape). It is ideal for cooling off, for children to play in and for doing a few strokes.

The property is approximately 1km from Martina Franca so is 'out of town' but only 3 minutes' drive away. It is to be found at the far end of a driveway (which is over 300 metres in length), leading to this small residential area which is populated by local families. Martina Franca is a medium-sized, busy town with many shops, restaurants, bars, churches, piazzas etc. and has a fascinating Baroque historical centre.
