Beatrice the owner was such an exceptional host. Her attention to every detail was spot on from the lovely rooms to the breakfast on the patio. Beatrice was happy to share the history of the property with us. Nothing was a problem.

A Dream Stay at Villa Tuzzo – Pure Magic! Our stay at Villa Tuzzo was nothing short of magical. Nestled in beauty and rich with history, every moment of our three-day stay felt like a dream. The property, lovingly renovated by Patricia—whose warmth and hospitality made the experience even more special—was originally purchased by her grandfather in 1945. His dream to create a place of timeless beauty has truly come to life, with no detail overlooked. The rooms were pristine and stylishly updated, blending modern comfort with charming heritage. Patricia has carefully preserved her grandfather’s antiques, which are thoughtfully placed throughout the villa, giving the space an authentic and elegant feel. Each morning, breakfast was served on the veranda overlooking the lush gardens and serene pool. Fresh vegetables grown right on the property added a beautiful touch. But what made the mornings truly special were the conversations with Patricia—hearing her stories and learning about her family’s history brought the whole place to life. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the spacious terrace and sparkling pool added to the sense of luxury and relaxation. Staying at Villa Tuzzo fulfilled every part of my dream of living in an Italian villa. We’ll carry these memories with us forever.

You will need a car as the villa is a short drive into Lecce.

Absolutely beautiful villa and fabulous room with our own terrace. Warm, friendly and super helpful staff. An oasis of tranquility, with lovely pool to relax. A great base to explore Puglia and its gorgeous beaches.

There was nothing to be improved on.

This property is a hidden gem. It has been beautifully renovated with much attention to detail. It has a lovely pool, which we did not have an opportunity to use. The breakfast presentation was lovely and delicious. Beatrice is a sweet and gracious hostess, who made our experience even more enjoyable!

The location was a perfect base for all things in the south. The room and facilities were incredible- welcoming and authentic and really felt like a haven. We booked one night and stayed three. Most importantly, the host asked us to join her and her friends for Easter celebrations- that kind of hospitality is 10/10 and we really enjoyed getting to know her and her friends. Lastly the fresh organic fruit growing on site for breakfast was fantastic. Would definitely go back.

We loved the Villa and Beatrice was so helpful in suggesting great restaurants and sights around the area. This is a wonderful place to stay and you feel you are in the country. It is quiet and the gardens and grounds are so beautiful. They gave us freshly squeezed blood orange juice one morning from the garden and so delicious. Free parking and a secure gated property. Breakfast was superb and defiantly recommend it. We will be back!

Not really sure there is anything. Even the breakfast couldn't be better.

Beatrice, an incredible host and concierge went over and above to help with reservations, directions, support and suggestions and when we needed to extend our stay because we lost track of time, worked to get us rebooked in another room. The pool, although cold during our visit was always clean, and comfortable to hang out around with nice music. The lemon, lime, orange, etc trees made it smell so amazing. I hate writing about this gem because it will be tough to get a reservations the next time I come back to visit!

We recently stayed at Villa Tuzzo in Lecce for five nights and had a wonderful experience. Our room was nicely decorated, comfortable, and well-equipped. The villa itself feels like an oasis; it is an old, beautifully decorated property surrounded by beautiful grounds. Despite nearby streets, we hardly noticed any traffic noise, it was not disturbing at all. The location was very convenient. Being close to the highway made it easy to reach both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts for visits to various beaches. It’s also close enough to the city center, which you can reach by car or bicycle. Breakfast was nice, and while we didn’t use the pool, it looked very inviting. Beatrice, our host, was exceptionally friendly and wonderful. She was always available, and if she wasn’t on-site, we could easily reach her via WhatsApp. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

This property is an absolute gem! A walled oasis just outside of the old city, the villa is beautifully appointed with unusual antiques and tasteful furnishings. Our room had a four poster bed and a stunning terrace overlooking the grounds. The breakfast was exceptional and we spent one afternoon unable to pull ourselves away from the pool. We didn't want to leave! Best of all, Beatrice is a charming hostess and does an outstanding job making her guests feel appreciated and at home.

Nothing!

Everything! Beatrice is an amazing hostess, and the villa has been renovated to an exceptionally high standard with love and attention to detail. Nothing is too much trouble for her guests, from milk for our tea to sending me a shirt back I left behind by accident. The villa is spotless, and the pool and grounds are well kept. Near to lecce, 10 minute drive into town. I would strongly recommend this to anyone.

The house is a gem, beautifully presented and with only 6 bedrooms, it is a great place to base yourself near Lecce and to explore the south of Puglia. The grounds are lovely as is the pool area. The bedrooms are spacious and the lounge / breakfast areas open to all guests.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Our wonderful hosts, Beatrice and Tommaso, ensured that we felt completely at home in the beautifully restored Villa Tuzzo. We were so pleased to spend the final days of our holiday at this exceptional property. It is well located, with easy access from the road network, while also being close to the historic centre of the romantic city of Lecce. After a marvellous breakfast, the pool is the perfect place to relax in the well maintained gardens. The Villa Tuzzo has only recently begun to receive guests, but the wonderful hospitality is guaranteed to ensure its success. You should book it while it is still a relatively unknown treasure. You won't regret it.

We had the pleasure of staying at this incredible villa, and we can honestly say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, Beatrice and Tommaso made us feel incredibly welcome. Their warmth and friendliness set the tone for a truly exceptional stay. The service was impeccable in every sense. Every detail was carefully considered to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The villa itself is like an oasis, beautifully decorated with exquisite taste down to the smallest details. The ambiance was peaceful, providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation. This family manor, lovingly renovated, feels like a hidden gem. We were pampered throughout our stay, and the hosts were always attentive to our needs, going above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect experience. If you're looking for a place where every aspect of your stay is thoughtfully crafted for comfort and luxury, this is the place to be. We cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning.

Some extra lights in the room would be great. But still everything incomparable

I really don't know where to start ! This villa was a surprise! Not only because of its beauty and style...but for every single thing! Hosts were incredible, friendly and helpfull. Cleaningless..like our homes! Amenities top quality! Great smell(shampoo, cream, shower gel..) Was very close to Lecce, but also spacious for parking place and relax away from hustle and bustle of the city center! GREAT BREAKFAST! Pool! A garden where you could pick your vegetables and eat them!! Incredibly decorated of course, you feel like a member of a royal family in your castle! I have no words! It s the first time we feel so captured with a place, we loved it so deeply and WE WANNA GO BACK ASAP!!! Highly recommended!
