Perfect place!
This house is truly amazing. It’s big, clean, the backyard is beautiful… It has a main bulding with 4 rooms inside, plus there’s 3 other rooms with their own exit in the private alley of the propriety. It’s perfect for large groups who wants to have some privacy. Diso, the little village, is also just perfect if you want to feel the « True Italian vibe ». We went every morning to the Portici restaurant to grab our croissants, cafe and orange juice; it’s truly a gem! Salvatore, the guy working there, helped us a lot with different advices. And Lucia, the lady taking care of the house, was really nice with us, while Gaia was always available to answer our questions. Really, you can’t go wrong with this place!! We already want to come back 🙂

As Good as Everyone Says
We just spent a lovely two weeks at the Villa in Diso. We can endorse what all the other reviewers have said about the size of the house, the privacy of the bedrooms, the common areas and the pool. In addition to these important features there were a few small touches we really appreciated and which are not often found in other rentals. We can't say enough about how helpful the owner Gaia was in arranging activities, offering advice and coordinating with local providers. Super responsive as well. Each bedroom has a separate slip air conditioning unit which works very well, very important in summer (although the evenings were pleasant even in August). Also there were screens on the bedroom windows. This is not common in Italy but is really helpful if you want to open the windows and keep out mosquitoes. The Wi-Fi is very strong and fast and reaches everywhere around the property. We had 9 adults and one child all on their devices at the same time with perfect function. Finally, there is no need for the guests to worry about trash management. There are well marked recycling bins behind the kitchen and the house managers take care of taking it away for you. We've rented houses for a number of years in Italy and other places. This one goes above and beyond.

Wonderful and memorable stay
Excellent location, clean, beautiful design.we stayed with a bigger group but the house was so spacious no one felt on top of each other. Rooms and washroom were specious for south of Italy. The house was stunning every detail of it. The town also had great restaurant, coffee shops, market.we travelled to beaches all around everyday but location was central so easy for us. I’d book this property again

Fantastic Stay
This house and location is incredible. Our group of 13 was incredibly comfortable and everything was more beautiful than the pictures even show. We were a short drive from beautiful town and swimming spots and the fact that we could walk to town for coffee, groceries, pizza was an added bonus. The owners were super responsive and lovely. I would go back in heartbeat.

Perfect Week in Apulia
We spent a wonderful week in this house and enjoyed especially the terrace and the pool a lot. The place perfectly combines wonderful old South-Italian design with modern comfort (air-conditioning, great bathrooms/showers) and offers a lot of space for privacy. It is well located to visit some amazing spots in Apulia. The owner was very responsive and Lucia, the housekeeper, was extremely nice and helpful.

Paradise in Diso ❤️
The house is absolutely stunning and the amenities are second to none. Diso has all the charm of a little village but also has fantastic dining and drinks options that are open all hours of the day and night. Our host Pietro was a great communicator and Lucia, who met us at the impossible hour of 11 pm after a flight cancellation, was absolutely fabulous. Holidays don't get better than this. Thanks :) PS - 200 m away at the main square is Portico, which is open 24 hours a day. Say hello to Salvatore, the owner. A wonderfully generous person who will guarantee you have a fantastic Diso adventure.

Fantastic group holiday
Just came back from three wonderful nights at the Locanda. We were on a corporate trip and every colleague loved this place. Truly a hidden gem. It's not that easy to find houses with so many bedrooms but in this case we had the villa all by ourselves plus two private apartments in the adjacent building. Just what we needed: privacy, but also great communal spaces so we could spend time together. The whole locanda is gorgeous and beautifully decorated and every room comes with its own bathroom (some of them are spectacular!). Fully equipped kitchen, a gorgeous pool and lots of outside spaces. Diso is a super small town but you'll find everything you need within minutes by car. Also, you're in the middle of the beautiful Salento region so make sure to explore the area and all of its beaches. Super easy communication with Gaia and Pietro. Also a huge thank you to the lovely Lucia who greeted us on our arrival. Very recommended! Would come back for sure!

Magical place
This place was absolutely magical. The villa was large and each room was well appointed. It had a ton of plates and glassware. We hired a private chef for one evening and they were able to use the kitchen with no problem. The rooms were very detailed and comfortable with beautiful art throughout the place. The garden and the pool were phenomenal. It is centrally located to many little towns and in Apulia and very close to some amazing spots.I would definitely stay at this place again. The host was very communicative and everything was very easy.

Stunning mansion in the best location of Salento
The house is located in a small village that is really welcoming and with some little shops (grocery, pizza, bar, bakery,...) close by. The sea is also very close. The house is superb with very nice bedrooms (some bigger than others) and very nice living and dining area. The kitchen has some professional equipment (huge fridge). The garden is very pleasant and the swimming pool is just perfect. The host has some great local people available for different services (a warm thanks to Lucia for the cleaning and Antonella and her husband for the cooking), do not hesitate a second to ask for them. Gaia is easily reachable in case of problems and she immediately tried to solve the issue as soon as possible. She also provides good tips for restaurants and is an open and friendly person.

Amazing house for group vacations
We had the most amazing stay at Locanda Fiore di Zagara in Diso. The house was even bigger, better and cleaner than we had expected after looking at the pictures. Gaia was very helpful and as always (second time we rent a house from Gaia) quick in responding to e-mails. The small sleepy town of Diso is very cute and the people are very friendly. The house is perfect for groups of friends as you'll get your privacy (all rooms have their own bathrooms) and then there are great common areas too where everyone can hang out together. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a feast. The only thing we didn't find in the house that we could wish for was a grill - so I e-mailed Gaia to ask if there was one. A few hours later they had bought one and put by the pool!!! We also appreciated the fact that Gaia was so flexible with both check-in and check-out. Can definitely recommend this house! Can't come to think of anything that's not to like.

For Gaia and Pietro We got a magical family vacation in your amazing home. The house is spacious and very very beautiful. Attention to the smallest details in the design is evident. The main kitchen has everything you need to cook large family meals. Sometimes you get the impression of an apartment or a house and when you arrive you are disappointed. Here is the opposite case. The house is much more impressive and beautiful than what you see in the pictures. thanks For everything

Un soggiorno perfetto in una struttura fantastica
Abbiamo soggiornato 7 giorni in questa struttura nel mese di settembre, trovando assoluta corrispondenza con la descrizione.Una struttura di assoluto relax, a due passi dal mare, arredata con cura ed eleganza, dove poter trascorrere qualche ora di tranquillità di ritorno dal mare/spiaggie. Dispone di di uno stabilimento, a pochi minuti di macchina, convenzionato con la struttura di cui porta lo stesso nome. Comodi lettini e ombrelloni, un bar/ristorante impeccabile e una piattaforma in legno che accompagna il bagnante nelle splendide acque del Salento. Dulcis in fundo la gentilezza la disponibilità e la discrezione di Gaia,Alessandro e Caterina, i gestori della locanda, che ringraziamo ancora una volta per la loro professionalità. Esperienza da non perdere!!!

posto incantevole e curato nei minimi particolari.
Un luogo incantevole dove rilassarsi e godersi delle splendide gite in quella che ritengo una delle più belle aree del Salentoe.Ogni stanza è dotata del proprio bagno e l'area comune (cucina e tavolo da pranzo) sono perfetti!!! Credo che andarci in primavera/estate sia ancora meglio, visto l'ampio giardino e la stupenda piscina.

Bellissima ed elegante dimora
La casa di Gaia é semplicemente fantastica, ancora più bella che dalle foto,dalle quali non si può capire la reale bellezza delle volte e delle docarazioni murali Liberty.Lo spazio esterno è meraviglioso,abbiamo avuto la fortuna di trovare un clima primaverile e di goderci un soggiorno di famiglia spettacolare Gaia ha risposto a tutte le nostre domande prima del nostro arrivo dimostrandosi più che disponibile ad assecondare le nostre richieste. Ad accoglierci c'era Alessandro, una persona molto gentile, accogliente e puntuale. Consiglio a chiunque di soggiornare in questo piccolo paradiso. Grazie mille Gaia!

Sublime dimora
Incuriositi e affascinati dalle belle parole dei giornali di settore, ci siamo regalati 5 giorni in questa incantevole dimora. Collocata nel versante orientale del Salento,a Diso,un delizioso paese a due passi dal mare,sorge in tutta la sua abbagliante raffinatezza la Locanda Fiore di Zagara. Si tratta di un'antica dimora restaurata con immenso gusto,dove l'antica bellezza coesiste con la più alta funzionalità moderna,sono stati infatti impiegati materiali della tradizione pugliese assieme a elementi di design contemporaneo, tutto nel pieno rispetto della semplicità che caratterizza questa terra. La struttura si presenta spaziosa, molto curata nei dettagli e dotata di un giardino privato ben tenuto con una meravigliosa piscina. A completare questo idillio è la cortesia dei padroni di casa. Lo consiglio a tutti!
