Beachfront vacation rentals in Rivabella

This is the kind of place that I wish would stay secret because it is so perfect. The appartment is on a high floor of a beautiful building overlooking the water, with gorgeous sea views from the windows. The amenities were as described. The beds are comfortable and I'll be dreaming of the master bedroom with that view on the sea. Walking down to the sea at the base of the building takes you to a gorgeous cliffside bay and there are sun chairs to lay out with a parasol. Access into the water wasn't as easy as I expected, but we were also there at a time of year where the sea was still cool and there were waves big enough to make us second guess swimming there. The village was quite quiet as we were off season, with many storefronts and restaurants still shut down. We enjoyed the quiet and made use of our rented car to explore surrounding villages. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a serene, well located, quiet getaway with a wonderful host.

Séjour les pieds dans l’eau. Si vous aimez dormir avec le bruit des vagues, allez vous baigner le matin à 2 pas et revenir prendre le petit déjeuner sur une super terrasse avec vue sur la mer… c’est le bon endroit. Proche de Gallipoli (en voiture) et pas loin de Lecce non plus. Mi-mai, c’est un peu mort, bien sûr, mais cela nous a tout à fait convenu et nous n’avons eu aucun problème pour trouver des restos et des magasins d’alimentation. La maison de Francesco est non seulement charmante, mais très pratique. Tout est bien pensé. Nous n’avons pas eu le plaisir de rencontrer Francesco, mais il a répondu très rapidement à nos nombreux messages 😉

We loved our stay in this apartment (4 adults & 1 toddler). It’s in a great location with an amazing view. Easy walk to restaurants, bars and historic centre. Pierpaolo was a fantastic host who was very responsive and helpful.

A beautiful rooftop apartment with lots of space. What makes the place is the rooftop patio where we enjoyed breakfast outside every day. Also enjoyed a night of watching both the stars and a storm over the horizon - what a show ! The apartment is right on the Main Street .step out into all the action . Turn left and restaurants shops and bars are there for you . Turn right and 50 m away is the beach - and fyi the beach is a nice sand one. umbrellas for the beach supplied - a nice touch . Access to the apartment is by foot . At first it seemed daunting however in fact it was a 5 min walk from where Paulo had arranged a parking spot for us. Paulo and Stefano were there for us as we found our way to both parking and then the apartment. Paulo is a personal assistant by profession - she was our personal assistant during our stay making dinner rez when places were full ! Great bonus . There’s a roof top bar with music to midnight - good tunes so we enjoyed . Small kids might not enjoy

We had an amazing stay in Santa Cesarea Terme. After a number of nights staying in cities with complicated parking it was a breath of fresh air to arrive to Donato’s friendly greeting. Pre-season, the town is very calm. We enjoyed the stunning views of the rocks and the sea, sharing the quiet streets with the weekend biking groups and hikers, and, of course, sitting on the balcony and watching the color of the Adriatic change in the light.

Wszytko idealnie. Niesamowity widok z tarasu. Wygodna sypialnia jak i salon. Wszytko bez zarzutu.

A beautiful place to explore wider Puglia from. Great host. Would return. Situated just north of Porto Cesareo. Car essential with parking space inside secure perimeter walls. Most sights were 45-90 minute drive. Modern, clean with comfortable furnishings and beds. Well equipped kitchen. Self-catered: 20 mins to nearest Lidl. Short drive to reach restaurants (10 minutes). End of October still warm and sunny in daytime (shorts, t-shirt and slides). Able to swim in small pool (very refreshing though ☺️) and in the sea at nearby beach (5 mins walk: sandy and shallow). Arrived after a severe rain so suffered more with mosquitoes outside which stopped us sitting out in the evenings sadly. Solar-powered hot water very limited (max 2 very short showers). No hot water from kitchen tap. Immersion heater did not seem to get temperature past tepid even after a couple of hours. Would be less of an issue in high summer. Out of season largely was silent around (beach club noise one evening).

Adoro i posti con la vista mare dall’alto. Ho amato questo posto. Sopratutto la stanza al piano terra…. Da dove ho potuto ammirare tutte le mattine l’alba magica! Antonella è stata molto accogliente e sempre reattiva! L’unica pecca e non poter accedere al mare direttamente da lì. Sarebbe favoloso se potessero trovare un modo per farlo. Il posto è adatto per chi ama la tranquillità il vento e il rumore del mare! ❤️

We loved our stay in this beach house by the sea. Allesandro had made it very comfortable and provided so many extra treats. It was so quiet, relaxing and calm with great restaurants nearby and many beautiful places to visit.

Eine wirklich einwandfreie, wie auf den Fotos zu sehende Unterkunft. Super sauber und ordentlich! Wirklich ein tolles Haus zum Urlaub machen Francesco ist ein sehr zu vorkommender Gastgeber

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Wohnung. Alles ist wie beschrieben und auf den Bildern gezeigt. Eros ist sehr freundlich und unterstützend und stets zu erreichen. He goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable. Danke Eros!

Absolutely exceptional stay – beyond all expectations! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Paolo was an outstanding host – warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay as perfect as possible. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly well taken care of. The villa itself is just amazing – full of character, thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and spotlessly clean. But the real highlight? The view. Absolutely breathtaking. Photos don’t do it justice – it’s something you have to see with your own eyes. This place is a hidden gem, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Paolo, for everything – you’ve set the bar impossibly high!

We hebben 11 dagen verbleven in appartement 3, het is een schoon appartement met heerlijke zachte handdoeken en super goede bedden. Volgens de site heeft het een kitchenette, echter het heeft een koffie en thee apparaat en koelkast met vriesvakje. Er is wel een grote gemeenschappelijke keuken aanwezig met een gaskookplaat, vaatwasser, grote koelvriezer alles wat je nodig hebt is er. Er is een groot zwembad met voldoende ligbedden en een plek met heerlijke stoelen in de schaduw. De accommodatie ligt erg rustig, heerlijk als je van rust houdt. Binnen 15 minuten ben je op het strand of in een plaatsje. We hebben het erg naar ons zin gehad in de Masseria La Noa en zouden het zeker aanbevelen voor andere gasten

We had an amazing stay at Francesca’s. We were in contact with Lukas who was extremely helpful, clear and friendly. At check in, Lukas met us and showed us around, he had many local recommendations for us. Throughout the stay he was super responsive and helpful. The first morning we woke up to fresh croissant and pasticciotti!! The house was beautiful, very spacious, full of light and extremely clean. There are many places to sit and many amenities like the pool, outside showers, hammocks and outside BBQ area. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you.

Der Aufenthalt in der Wohnung von Marco hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Der Ausblick auf das Meer und die Terrasse mit Pool sind wunderschön. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. An der schönen, nahegelegenen Bucht befindet sich eine gute Strandbar. Castro liegt gerade so in fußläufiger Entfernung. Ein Vorteil war der private Parkplatz auf dem Grundstück. Die Kommunikation mit Giorgio war schnell und unkompliziert.

We enjoyed a great family holiday at the nice beach of punto Prosciutto (off season!). Angelo and his wife were very kind and super professional hosts. A new Airbnb experience was that Angelo asked us to sign a separate contract and comittment to the rules of the house. Although the list of rules and instructions is quite long its only common sense behavior and a respectful treatment of his property that he asks for. So, no problem to sign. And the result is a well maintained and clean experience for all his guests. Some information is not so clear from the general description of the house but every information is given in the rules for the stay on the airbnb page which you should devinetively read prior to the booking: e.g. for a family of 4 you have only access to 2 sleeping rooms and the use of the Pool comes with an aditional fee of 7.50€ per erson per day. we didnt use the Pool since I was not sure whether my kids (5&7) would easily follow the rules for it. We enjoyed the sea!

This apartment is amazing, in a beautiful, very grand building, right in the centre of the old town. If you are looking for somewhere quirky, interesting and authentic, this is it. It is huge, so much space - with frescoes on the ceiling and a balcony to have a drink on. Immaculately clean with stylish furniture. Everything was as described so we didn’t need to contact the host, however she was in constant communication. We would definitely recommend this apartment for an authentic stay in the historic centre.

Le logement proposé par Daniela était très agréable : la terrasse était un vrai plus, et l’appartement était en plein dans la centre-ville historique. Tout l’équipement est moderne et le logement est bien aménagé.

I would not hesitate to recommend this air bnb or to stay there again. So nice to personally meet the hosts who were extremely welcoming & friendly. The seaview terrace was great for taking in the view, enjoying the night lights, as well as soaking up the sun while enjoying a glass of wine. Easy walking distance to the beach & numerous restaurants.

Ein großes Dankeschön an die Gastgeber Daniela und Valentino. Die Kommunikation vorab war unkompliziert und schnell. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und geräumig, es war alles da wie beschrieben. Man hat sich gleich wohl gefühlt. Sie liegt ruhig, dennoch ist man nach wenigen Metern am Meer und hat nur ein paar Gehminuten bis zum Strand, Supermarkt und Restaurants. Die Gegend ist super für Erholung am Meer, die Natur zu erleben und einen Städtetrip - alles möglich. Gerne wieder!

Tuvimos una gran experiencia en este hospedaje en Gallipoli. Patrizia es una excelente anfitriona, ella es muy amable y respondió rápidamente a nuestras nuestras dudas, tuvo la amabilidad de ir a recogernos a la estación de tren, siempre se mostró proactiva y nos compartió recomendaciones sobre medios de transporte en la zona y principales puntos de interés. El hospedaje cuenta con todas las comodidades necesarias para una estancia confortable, este se encontraba limpio, bien ubicado. A una caminata de distancia del casco antiguo y también se encuentra muy cerca de la estación de tren. Sin duda lo recomiendo!

Lovely rustic villa, with sea views. Great location with an easy easy walk to town with cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed a quiet stay and parking was available in the street.

Maison très bien situé dans un environnement très calme. Pietro est très disponible et a un vrai sens de l'accueil. Idéalement situé pour rayonner sur le territoire et avec une petite plage à proximité (2 mn à pied) pour se baigner en toute sécurité et faire du snorkeling (ce qui est un vrai plus, car en Italie les plages sont soit privée : surchargées, soit difficile à trouver pour un accès à l'eau du fait des spécificités géologiques de la cote). Nous étions en couple et avons très apprécié cette maison.

This house and the garden are so perfect, charming, relaxing, comfortable, all the details are impressive, you will have everything you need. Giuseppe is very kind and welcoming. Thank you very much for all the gifts. I love my stay. The location is perfect to discover the Salento and Puglia in general. I will come back
