Hey from Antonio

Member since May 2014 | 53,588 hits

The Piccola America Village is a small family-run village, where guest care is always a top priority, and we like to think of Piccola America as a big family that gathers every summer to spend holidays together.

Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Antonio Minervino, and my parents created the Piccola America Village in 1980, growing it year after year. Now, my wife, my daughters, and I manage the Village with the same passion and love that my parents put into it, treasuring their experience.

We strive to make our guests feel at home, as if the village were a house they can always come back to, knowing they will be warmly welcomed. We like to believe that our guests will carry with them the smells, flavors, and emotions that our wonderful land can offer, and that will accompany them, with a hint of nostalgia, until their next vacation.

Beautiful seaside village run by a wonderful family that inspires tranquility. A strategic base to visit the best places in the Gargano with its beautiful cliffs and caves. Not to forget the Umbra Forest, one of the most beautiful and unique forests in the world. Thanks for everything. Rating 10 across the board!

I give 10 because you can't give more, but I would give them 100. Excellent place, clean and in a great location. The cottages are very clean on arrival and equipped with the essentials. You can forget about transport: everything is available. The beach is a short walk away, with private access, a bar, beach umbrella and sunbeds; a fruit and vegetable shop and a minimarket are also a short walk from the property. The beach is well organized and clean. For those with children, it is the ideal place because the property is enclosed and safe. The management is family-run and the people are wonderful.

The village lacks nothing. Suitable for any type of clientele and perfect for families looking for relaxation. It is located on the beautiful beach of Scialmarino, with crystal clear and always clean water. The fact that you can wake up, have breakfast, and go directly in a swimsuit to the beach with a 20-second walk is priceless. The strong point of the village is definitely the cleanliness, which is fundamental for me, and the friendliness of the owners who are always available and present. Near the village, there is a splendid fruit and vegetable shop, a restaurant, and a pastry shop that bakes huge and delicious brioche. The location is another strong point: in less than 10 minutes you can reach the center of the beautiful Vieste, and it is also within reach of any type of restaurant. Even though we stayed at the end of September, we spent wonderful moments and returned rejuvenated. Surely the Villaggio Piccola America has taken a small place in our hearts, and for this reason, we will definitely return sooner or later.

The apartment was not very clean. There were dead mosquitoes and gnats on the bathroom tiles. In addition, every time the toilet was flushed, a bad smell came from the sewage. The property is well maintained and managed. The inconveniences are only related to the apartment where I stayed.

The answer from the host:
Grazie per il feedback. Ci dispiace molto sapere che l'appartamento non abbia soddisfatto le sue aspettative. Avremmo apprezzato se ci avesse segnalato immediatamente i problemi riscontrati, così da poter intervenire prontamente per verificare e risolvere la situazione, garantendo il massimo comfort durante il suo soggiorno. Speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente per offrirle un'esperienza migliore.

A magical vacation. We spent 15 fantastic days immersed in relaxation and tranquility in this village managed excellently by Antonio, Manuela, Alessia, and Chiara, exceptional people who with their sympathy, kindness, availability, generosity, and professionalism made everything beautiful. They made us feel at home! The village is well-maintained and peaceful, the small villas are comfortable, and the beach service is excellent as well as the seafront location in a dream bay. Everything is within reach, you can even shop on foot along the beach. It was a splendid and unforgettable vacation! We hope to be able to return. Heartfelt thanks to all the staff. Scappini Family.

The only downside is the lack of air conditioning in the bungalows: there are efficient ceiling fans, but they are just enough for a comfortable stay against the heat with a rating of 6.00. The village may be more suitable for young people with families, less for the elderly, for whom air conditioning and a very ventilated veranda are essential. However, overall an excellent village for young and middle-aged people.

stayed from 07/13/2024 to 07/28/2024

The answer from the host:
Grazie per aver condiviso la tua opinione! Siamo felici che nel complesso tu abbia apprezzato il nostro villaggio. Capisco la tua osservazione riguardo la mancanza di aria condizionata nei bungalow e la difficoltà che questo possa causare, soprattutto per le persone anziane. Terremo in considerazione il tuo feedback per migliorare il comfort dei nostri ospiti in futuro. Speriamo di poterti accogliere nuovamente, magari in un periodo con temperature più miti. Grazie ancora per i tuoi suggerimenti!

It is not a little America but a little paradise. Independent cottages nestled in a garden of olive trees and fruit trees, clean, furnished with rationality, equipped with everything. The veranda allows you to live outdoors but sheltered from neighbors. The beach is well-maintained like the garden, the location is amazing! From the water's edge you can reach bars, restaurants, supermarkets... if you want you can forget about the car. The owners are exquisite people, present but never intrusive, always available for everything. After one day we had already lost the sense of time and space, a true little paradise. I hope to be able to return soon!
