Lovely
We spent a week in this lovely, well appointed home. The owners and the house manager were very helpful with suggestions on the area. The kitchen is perfect for families and each room was designed perfectly. You can walk to all the nearby shops and restaurants although please note you can not park at the house. It is not a far walk to where you can park, but the streets to the house are too narrow for normal size cars. The courtyard and pool are beautiful and gave us the outdoor space we needed.

Exquisite design
Great location and great mansion in the heart of the preserved historical city of Nardò in south puglia. The house is exactly what you would dream of when traveling abroad: exquisite design, best comfort, and privacy. On top, the amazing greeting and daily service which made our stay even more enjoyable. The only thing we were afraid of was the parking facilities as the house is in the protected historical center. But in the end we always had lots of possibilities to park about 200m away maximum and the area is so quiet that you can leave your car outside with no problem.

Absolutely gorgeous
We had an absolutely gorgeous time at Case Nardo in Nardo. It's a tiny town and full of character, way off the tourist trails. The Villa was perfect for our family of four, and the owners were generous and thoughtful in every way. I would definitely recommend Case Nardo if you are looking to get away from it all.

Hidden gem!
What a hidden gem! We spent our last summer holiday at Casa Nardo and had the most beautiful experience with our family of 5. The owners made sure we had a very smooth arrival and organized everything prior to our stay. We felt very comfortable in the spacious 5 bedroom villa and the attention to detail could not have been missed. From the authentic interior design of furniture to the luxurious bed sheets and linen there was absolute nothing we missed. Daily housekeeping service was provided by the villa manager who also helped us booking massages, restaurants and anything we needed help with. The villa is situated in the historical old town of Nardo with plenty of walking distance restaurants, charming boutiques and food stores. We discovered the most beautiful beaches which were only a 15min car ride away. We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Nardo and already plan to come back this summer. Highly recommended if you are looking for a private, authentic Italian house with all the amenities of a hotel. Bravo to the owners!

Most enjoyable time
We had the most enjoyable time! The house is just perfect, spacious, beautifully renovated and decorated with style. The rooms are divine, the kitchen has everything you need. We loved the patio and the pool. So peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were perfect and they gave us great tips on the best restaurants, beach clubs and places to visit nearby. Nardo is a lovely Italian town where we enjoyed wandering and having drinks in the evening. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful house. We can’t wait to go back!

Outstanding
My wife and several friends shared Casa Nardo for the month of May, 2023. We looked carefully all across Puglia for a home to rent and this house exceeded our expectations. It is beautifully designed and appointed with a chef's kitchen, a wonderful internal courtyard and a pool. The house is very near the main piazza with several good restaurants and bars. The service we received from the owners and property manager was outstanding. Nardo is ideally located with easy access to all the major sights and cities of the region. I cannot say enough good things about our whole experience.
