We have just returned from an eight night stay at Casino Mattia and truly wish we could have stayed longer. Positioned in a peaceful olive grove the house and setting are beautiful. There is a lovely pool area and a wonderful herb garden. The bedrooms all have separate entrances and ensuite bathrooms. There is a shaded dining area outside the well equipped kitchen.
The house is about 2km from the small town of Spongano which has an excellent pizza restaurant (which does takeaway) and there is a large supermarket about 1km away on the main road.
Ignazio is a terrific host. He stays nearby and is always easy to contact. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and all his recommendations were first class especially our favourites Trattoira Vardaceli in Castiglione and the Balelido Beach in Torre Mozza. He was happy to make reservations on our behalf and generally couldn’t have been more helpful.
It was our first visit to Puglia and we would love to return to Casino Mattia one day since we had only just started to discover the area.
