We have just returned home from our 3rd visit to Ceglie Messapica this year and stayed in Casa Carucci each time. We can thoroughly recommend this apartment, it is small but has everything you could need, Antonio who looks after the property is a superstar, his homemade gelato is wonderful and although he has no English and our Italian is limited we were able to communicate really well. The pool is a wonderful bonus and the grounds are beautiful. We have now bought our home in Italy so will probably only stay at Casa Carucci 1 more time, while we finalise the sale which is a sad and happy situation!
