The view was breathtaking - the valley and the Adriatic Sea everywhere you looked. The covered veranda had plenty of outdoor seating and shade. The kitchen was a wonderfully large communal space. The bedrooms each had plenty of room. And the washing machine with outdoor drying rack were a huge bonus, as we were halfway through a two-week trip. Absolutely perfect!

Be aware that you can only reach the residence by car, and there’s a steep incline on the driveway to get down to the villa. Not a complaint - just something to be aware of.

Wonderful, exquisite place. I’ve never stayed in a residence so beautiful. Every corner of the place is so well-thought through. Designed so nicely. The mountain and sea view are in abundance and breathtaking. The host is wonderfully kind and welcoming and made our stay very pleasant. The other staff too were always kind and friendly with the kids. We chose to have breakfast and we were not disappointed. A wonderful spread of fresh croissants, fresh juice, meats and cheeses. The accommodation itself is well laid out, well-equipped and comfortable for the needs of our family (2 adults, 2 children). Clean linen, fresh towels, wonderful shower. The pool and the area is absolutely pristine and one with, once again, a perfect view. I cannot recommend this place enough. It exceeded any expectations and we would gladly return. Our only, reservation is that we wish we had stayed longer! Thank you for having us.

The scenery from this place is breath taking. This is top relaxation! It's like time stands still during your stay. Beautiful gardens and swimming pool also! Location and accommodation is 10+!

Everything was great. A note for visitors: Don't follow the navigation instructions on booking. You will end up high in the mountains. Check the accommodation on google and use the google maps link there. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration. The host only speaks Italian.

Hotel views are amazing. Pool size is really good and offered ample sitting space. Breakfast was excellent. Recommendations offered were very useful.

Room size was small and even though we spent little time in the room, it made logistics (family of four) a bit tight. Not both rooms had A/C, meaning that for the bedroom to get fresh, the kitchen/living room (where part of the family was sleeping) had to be freezing.

The view is incredible! The property grounds are beautiful. The landscaping is gorgeous, the pool is super clean and not crowded. It overlooks the Adriatic Sea, with seating where you can relax and watch the moon rise. You definitely need a car, but everything you could want is close by. The staff is over-the-top friendly and helpful. The room is stocked with just about anything you could need.

It wasn't an issue because it was warm when we visited, but the bed only has a sheet for a blanket. I definitely used my blanket I brought on the plane. Not a big deal, but just a heads up to future guests.

Lovely accommodation, spotless, comfortable and very well equipped if you want to do a bit of cooking for yourself. The owner and his daughter were very welcoming and helpful. We were privileged to stay in this very special place. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Nothing it was a perfect stay..

Views were spectacular. Staff were very friendly. Quiet and intimate. Value for money excellent.

Shower could be updated. No kettle.

Nice shared pool and wonderful private terrace with lovely view. House had all facilities needed including washing machine and dishwasher (although not an oven).

There were some distant dogs barking at night, so windows needed to be closed.

We have just departed from "Montelci Residence" after staying there for an incredible 9 days. The place offers 12 apartments, immaculately clean and comfortable. It is located in the midst of an endless olive grove, overlooking the Adriatic sea. Truly heaven. The swimming pool is just wonderful - clean and never too crowded. Michele's unique touch could be felt all around the residence. Nikola is the ultimate host- he speaks English, French, and German, and he is keen on helping and giving superb local recommendations. We would love to come back again. Grazie Mille to Michele,Mariangela, Nikola, and their wonderful family!

The location was fabulous overlooking a bay near Mattinata. The swimming pool was probably the best I've ever swam especially with those glorious views.

Not much really, although I did have problems with getting hot water but that was because there were so few guests water took a long time to get from the tank to my room.
