Milestone celebrations deserve more than a restaurant reservation.

So celebrate with all your family and friends in a historic villa in Puglia, Italy.

See what a milestone week here looks like. You’ll get a short series of emails over the next few days. Unsubscribe any time.

    Everyone fits, from the littlest cousins to the grandparents to your closest friends. You’ll celebrate together under one roof instead of scattered across separate hotel rooms. Twelve bedrooms. Ten bathrooms. The pool. The kitchen. The grounds. All of it, just for your week. The whole villa, for the whole week, is €9,260. Split across 24 people that's about €55 a night each. The emails walk you through exactly what's included.

    Some celebrations come with cake. This one comes with everyone.

    A real home, not a resort built for tourists.

    It's a working agriturismo, and it's been my home for years. For your week, it becomes the place where your family and friends gather, cook, and celebrate together, the way you would in any real home.

    Ciao, I'm Steven.

    I'm an American who came to Puglia and never left. This is my home, and I've had the pleasure of hosting thousands of guests here over the last 15 years.

    What that means for you: when you're planning from six time zones away, you're emailing a person who actually lives at the villa and speaks your language. I'll help with dinners, drivers, day trips and anything else you want sorted. Or I'll hand you the keys and stay out of your way. Your week, your call.


    Sound too good to be true?

    I get it.  Most places want you to trust the photos. I'd rather you trust the people who've actually stayed. I’ve had the pleasure of hosting thousands of guests over 15 years, and you can read exactly what they said, in their own words.

    "A group of close friends decided to celebrate a milestone birthday in Italy... Enter Villa Cappelli. Each of us had a private bedroom and bath, no small feat for nine people."

    — JBayat 

    “We chose Villa Cappelli to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary... We had 23 family members for the 1st week... Ages were 2 to 75 years. We felt like good friends, not like paying guests.”

    —Arty T. 

    "I was invited to Villa Cappelli to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday! What a beautiful, historic, perfectly renovated villa, that is surrounded by beautiful gardens, with fresh flowers that were cut daily."

    — Doreen C.
