The internet was not as fast as we have come to be used to.

It’s a beautiful villa with a grand swimming pool, run by very friendly people. Laying by the pool it felt more like a luxurious hotel than a bed and breakfast. It’s the perfect base camp from where to explore that region of Italy.

We had no issues and the peaceful accomodation is what we were looking for.

Very relaxing B&B with nice gardens, pool and pool bar. The location was very central for our exploration of the local towns and beaches (both Puglian coasts).

Nothing, it's a fantastic B&B to stay in Puglia

The place is incredible and Raffael, the landlord in fluent in English and very professional. This big old family house is greatly decorated and well transformed. The rooms are cleaned and well equiped. The area is wonderful to chill out and to rest peacefully. The location is perfect to visit all the cities around. I recommand you a nice and fresh leccese coffee on the poolside!

Perfect B&B in Puglia for those who are looking to relax and unwind. A perfect "launch point" for Ostuni, Cisternino, Martina Franca and Beyond. The breakfast we had each morning was delicious and the room had everything you needed and a comfy bed. The staff was very accommodating.

Check out at 10 AM is very early Breakfast, whilst delicious was slightly bizarre insofar as you have to order precisely what you want the night before versus going up to a buffet. A bit like being in hospital. We arrived at the breakfast table at 9 AM sharp and the cooked breakfast was already laid out and not particularly warm - but no problem - it was tasty. Consequently I think we got through our breakfast in 10 minutes. The property is amazing but it does feel very regimental, slightly full of too many rules for someone looking to relax on holiday. We felt slightly and unusually controlled.

Charming grounds and a beautifully manicured garden. Lovely swimming pool with plenty of shade and beds with nice towels and a bar area alongside. The room was nice and clean with a nice view over the garden. Not huge room, but fine and certainly adequate. I think we paid about £160 or thereabouts Plenty of storage. The bathroom had a stand-up shower and again was immaculately clean. Check out was 10 AM which is far too early but no problem. The breakfast was good with variety, but you had to decide upon everything the night before-see below. Raphael seemed very friendly. Wi-Fi is incredible and free throughout the property. Good parking and a good security gate.

Raffaele e Isabella were wonderful hosts! The hotel is perfectly located in the valle d'Itria, minutes from Cisternino and Martina Franca. Our room was beautifully decorated and quiet, the garden is beautiful with a great pool and plenty of places to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Puglia. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

I have no negative comments nor constructive criticism. I have never stayed anywhere more beautiful and serene😊🤗

Beautiful greeting. Beautiful room. Really comfy bed. Great breakfast with so much variety. The pool and pool area was so clean and well kept; as was the whole of La Valle Del Cristallo. The hosts and staff were all so kind and attentive. We really enjoyed our time here. Highly recommended and can not wait to return! Thank you so much! 😁p.s we had a beautiful evening meal on our last night in the picnic area, in a beautifully lit area in the grounds ( thank you Isabella and Raphielle). It was so romantic and very nostalgic; 100% recommendation.

I thought I wouldn't like the room that much. It was the only one available and booked it anyway for the beautiful surroundings, garden and pool. However, I honestly loved hanging in my room. The atmosphere of the building is just charming and relaxed.

This B&B is a welcome retreat with it's beautiful garden with all little nooks and corners to sit and relax, read a book or listen to a podcast. The pool and pool bar are really fine and surrounded by lovely trees and plants. Having lunch under the tree gave me an instant holiday feeling and breakfast was lovely with fresh fruit each morning and nice baked goods. I came here to have a relaxing holiday with a cosy little paradise to avoid the high season tourist traffic. And it was all I've asked for. Close to the B&B is a beautiful bike road through the valley which you can also stroll along with. It is situated within reasonable distance Ostuni, Locorotondo and Cisterno so you can venture out (with a car) Do check out Martina Franco as well. Nice beach bars are 20 min drive away (loved Lido Bizarro, run by an Italian family). But honestly, I just had the nicest moments there with Rafael, Isabella and their people. It was a lovely home away from home for me.

There was no kettle in the room, so we couldn't make coffee and tea. I think I would prefer this over the television.

This was a lovely quiet spot with owners who really care about making sure the guest have a memorable stay. Lovely fresh food at breakfast with the option to have a home made evening meal which was truely delicious and perfect sat out in the garden.

La Valle Del Cristallo Wellness & Charme is a charming, family run villa that provides a relaxing environment for the perfect holiday. Our hosts had great communication and kindly agreed to a flexible check in time for us - they were also so welcoming and friendly and it was wonderful speaking with them during our stay. Meals at the property are all home cooked and delicious. The property is gorgeous and is situated a drive away from the main parts of Ostuni and the nearby towns of Monopoli and Polignano a Mare. There is ample parking on site (and we recommend having a car to properly explore the area). The property is extremely clean and well maintained and one of our favourite activities was lounging by the stunning pool.

the pool was out of service ;-( This was the only let down during my holidays. the pool was one of the reason that I’ve booked and was disappointing that the pool wasn’t ready.

beautiful setting amazing garden nice breakfast Isabella made a lovely pasta for us, tasted amazing and was lovely to dine under the tree - love it!!!😍😍 amazing hosts, felt really well looked after

It was very boutique villa, with nit and clean garden and pool. The staff was very helpful with every question we had. I would definitely go back there whenI am in Puglia

The location is a great hub to explore the entire region whilst itself being a relaxed retreat to enjoy the calm pool, garden and cooking qualitites as well as the hospitality of its owners.

Raphael and Isabella are such warm and friendly hosts. The grounds are amazing with a pool, spa, hammocks and fruit trees of all kinds (figs trees, pomegranate, lemons, olives, etc.) a gem in an already beautiful town. A lovely daily breakfast is provided (including fresh fruits, pastries, boiled eggs, juices, teas, coffee). Like the grounds, the bedrooms and bath are really nice, well decorated and remarkably clean. Thank you both for making the start of our vacation around Puglia, truly unforgettable.

would have preferred some flexibility around evening meal time. The meal was not prepared on site which was what we had envisaged. Never the less the meal was excellent as was breakfast. Would have liked access to a kettle / tea bags / coffee so we could make a cuppa informally without hassling the hosts.

the place was really clean and well presented, gardens really well kept. Our request to eat on the balcony was accomodated which we greatly appreciated.
