Beachfront vacation rentals in Rivabella

Lucci d'Oriente exceeded our expectations. The apartment is spacious, cheerfully decorated and equipped with absolutely everything: nothing is missing. From every window you can see the sea, as if you were inside it. The terrace with direct access to the sea is a real privilege. Going up from there to the apartment requires some effort, but it's totally worth it. It is ideal for a family with children, very comfortable and functional. Santa Cesarea Terme is quiet, with some options for eating light and enjoying an ice cream. The parking lot next door is free if there is space, and very accessible if you pay. Rita and Stefano were exceptional hosts: attentive, friendly and always available. They made us feel right at home. We would definitely come back!

The house has everything you need for a carefree vacation: equipped kitchen, ok rooms and an outdoor space ideal for eating outdoors or enjoying the sunset. A special thanks to Lorenzo and Lucia, who helped me with everything: always kind, they helped me with the address, present when needed and ready to recommend authentic places to discover. It's the right place to unwind, breathe in the sea and experience the real Salento.

This house is a real gem. It is located right at the sea. There are stones in front of it but you can go swimming, if you want. On both sides approx. 5-10 min are very nice sandy beaches. The view is amazing and we had super nice sunsets. The house has everything you need and the kitchen is fully equipped. The decoration is maritime and quite cute. It was really peaceful and we had a great time. There are a couple of restaurants in the village as well as shops and even fish shop. We were there at the end of May. Many shops and restaurants were still closed but 20 min by car there is a bigger town where you have everything. We really enjoyed our stay. If you look for peace and quiet - book this lovely house! Highly recommended!

It was simply amazing. You must come here!

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

From the minute he greeted me at check-in, I could sense Donato’s enthusiasm about hosting in addition to his kindness, and I’m grateful I stayed at his fantastic top-floor apt. with an amazing sea view. After he showed me where to park (for free) and then gave me a tour of the apt., I began to explore the town by foot. The town’s natural and architectural attractions are simply unbelievable, namely its unique, jaw-dropping swimming spots and beaches. So, be sure to explore Porto Miggiano and Cala Porticciolo. During my stay I appreciated the comfortable bed, the darkening window shades, using the washing machine and full kitchen, the cross breezes, the AC when needed, making espresso, and, above all, watching the sea from the balcony. Donato has thought of everything, so whether you’re a single traveler, or family of four, you’ll feel comfortable in this gem. When I return to SCT, I hope to stay here! Thank you, Donato!

Mr. Ezio's apartment made our vacation unforgettable! It is located in a strategic area between the shopping street, the historic center and the beaches, and has a reserved parking space in the condominium garage (a real plus in the area). Internally, the accommodation is well organized, hospitable, with a large equipped terrace and facing the sea. The house is well-kept and clean, has large windows and windows that allow an excellent exchange of air and excellent ventilation. Clear, punctual and timely communication with the landlord. We thank Ezio and highly recommend staying in his apartment!

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).

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.

A really impeccable, as seen in the photos Super clean and tidy! Really a great house to go on vacation Francesco is a very accommodating host

Eros was super responsive and helpful during our stay! The apartment is so close to town, an easy 5 minute walk. The apartment is very spacious and in a nice, quite location. Highly recommend!

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 stayed in apartment 3 for 11 days, it is a clean apartment with lovely soft towels and super good beds. According to the site, it has a kitchenette, however it has a coffee and tea machine and fridge with freezer compartment. There is a large communal kitchen with a gas hob, dishwasher, large fridge freezer all you need is there. There is a large swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds and a place with lovely chairs in the shade. The accommodation is very quiet, wonderful if you like peace and quiet. Within 15 minutes you are at the beach or in a town. We had a great time at the Masseria La Noa and would definitely recommend it for other guests

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.

We enjoyed staying at Marco's apartment very much. The view of the sea and the terrace with pool are beautiful. Beds are very comfortable. There is a good beach bar at the beautiful, nearby bay. Castro is just within walking distance. One advantage was the private parking space on the premises. The communication with Giorgio was quick and uncomplicated.

We spent seven amazing nights at Franco’s place. The house and its surroundings are just stunning. I second the person who had said that the pictures do not do justice to this place; the view is breathtaking and the house itself is lovely and cozy. We immediately felt home here, and it was very difficult to leave. Franco sent very helpful instructions on how to get in the house, and he was always available and responsive when we had questions. Overall, we had a wonderful time!

This apartment is truly special. Camilla was an excellent host, helpful and responsive. I want to go back some day. Thank you.

Antonio and Lina are wonderful friendly hosts who take care of everything, highly recommended! The old apartment is cute and tastefully decorated, and when it is warm outside, also bright. We were there at the end of March and the weather was very cold and rainy at first. But we had a wonderful stay in fantastic Gallipoli.

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.

Thank you very much for the lovely stay. The place is comfortable and well-located.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay in this apartment. The location is ideal, close to all local amenities, while offering a quiet and relaxing setting. The apartment was spotlessly clean, well-equipped. We particularly enjoyed the view of the most beautiful beach in Gallipoli, it's a real luxury. Our host was very responsive and thoughtful, making sure we didn't miss anything throughout our stay and even recommended great restaurants. We would highly recommend this apartment and will be happy to come back. Thank you Claude!

We loved everything about this rental. Daniella was amazing and very accommodating. the location is great, very close to the church and local cuisine and coffee which is super important! would stay again!

The hosts are very accommodating, I found the apartment a bit small, but it was ok for 3 days. The view is amazing :)

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
