After the noise, business and frustrations of London it was such a relief to discover Villa Diana set amongst active and ancient olive plantations, yet 15 mins from Lecce. Although self catering, I felt like a welcome guest of the de Rinaldis family who took the time to provide all the  necessary help and information about the local area. I stayed in a traditional stone house with a pomegranate tree outside the window, a well stocked vegetable patch at my disposal, and loved the hand painted swimming pool reminiscent of snorkelling in the Maldives, and also had fun on the clay tennis court. La Litara restaurant was a 5 minute walk away and had a great antipasti to share, not to mention the pizzas which were delicious!

Peace, nature, tennis and vegetables!

What to say ... 100% thumbs up.

Great and spatious rooms.
Best swimming pool ever.
Enormous domain.
Welcoming owners.
Their place is your place.
Calm and quiet ... only 6 rooms ... so never crowded.

Definitely worth a visit.

Hospitality a la Salento, great facilities, superb location

If you would like to stay in the same beautiful grounds as 3 generations of a lovely Italian family that make you feel extremely welcome then VillaDiana is the place for you. Expresso next to the fresh water river fed pool followed by a jacuzzi and swim was part of our daily Routine. later in the day my son and I would play tennis on the excellently maintained clay court. The owner Gianni is the over 70 Italian tennis champion no less!Then maybe a barbecue on the terrace with professional cooking  equipment at your disposal.  The time the family (especially Diana) put into making the grounds as beautiful and interesting (labeled plants) as possible show how much they love where they live and why we are so lucky they are willing to invite us in to share the experience.Paolo  (the son) was always available to provide help quickly when needed and picked us figs straight from his tree which were still warm from the sun and the best we have ever tasted. I couldn't recommend Villa Diana more highly. We've already booked for next year and are counting down the weeks already.Thank you Gianni, Diana & Paolo !

A beautiful rustic italian experience

Very nice 'estate' with choice of 6 self catering apartments/villas. Great pool, beautiful clay tennis court, boules, table tennis and play house etc for younger kids. Within easy (12 minutes by car) distance of the beautiful city of Lecce and striking distance of many beaches of both Adriatic and Ionian coasts (25 to 50 mins of pleasant driving) with a fantastic range of charming town beaches and longer sandy stretches. Also lovely to just stay and relax on site. Owners, Paulo and his family, are very welcoming and informative without being 'on top of you'. Accommodation is simple rather than 5 star hotel with the 'second bedroom' usually being pull out sofa beds in the lounge but with excellent air con. We had a fantastic family holiday there and will happily return.  The area is truly Italian in nature and days would pass without hearing an English voice - consequently some Italian is sometimes useful though Paulo speaks excellent English

Excellent for Lecce, coast and relaxing on site

As you hit a few pot holes through Merine and you are nearly at your destination The positive thoughts of your holiday could be slightly tested.....Until you turn in to this Oasis, of local shrubs and trees with traditionally built 'cottages', beautiful ! What workmanship. The whole place is classy but unpretentious, with this wonderful pool as a centre piece. the place is so welcoming and so relaxing. I was in heaven from the moment we turned into the drive. the family are all down to earth and nothing is to much for any of them..I felt have  there was the perfect balance of being part of the family and having our own space for our special 2 weeks of the year Paolo speaks very good English and has a wicked sense of humour..will be visiting again next year
Thank you all at Villa Diana  Ian x

Wow..the way to relax

We stayed as a family in one of the cottages in the back of the most beautiful maintained gardens of Villa Diana. Diana herself being a landscape architect designed the garden and pool area. I believe the house they also designed themselves. Anyway it is an oasis, a very pleasant escape behind the gates. All is well kept, the owners Gianni and Diana are lovely hosts, so sweet and always very helpful. The tennis court of clay is a joy to play on.Try to challenge Gianni, he is called Gianni the fox, i.e. smart player! The pool is lovely with a jaccuzzi,  attached a fun slide and a divingboard. I can go on and on, but like to say, see for yourself it is all top quality. Worth while a second visit. Cavalino is nearby for shopping the best produce from the area, it also has a good wine shop and a lovely osteria. Lecce is only a 10 minute drive from Villa Diana, beautiful city especially at the end of the afternoon. Beaches nearby, we loved the beaches on the Ionion coast. Salentino the very south province of Puglia is very special and has very friendly and proud people around to help you.

Beautiful place Villa Diana !!!

Great swimming pool, garden and sport facilities.
Close to awesome restaurants, lovely towns and unique baroque churches.
Local shops with good products and friendly owners.
Spent a week, could have spend a month!
