Mariella and her husband were incredibly gracious hosts. Their place is lovely and secluded, yet close enough to get quickly arrive at the interesting points throughout Puglia. Mariella accommodated our hectic arrival wonderfully and was very responsive to any questions we had or matters that came up. She also had some breakfast items stocked for our use. The villa's outdoor amenities were great too, with enough stuff for kids/teens to occupy themselves with during the down times. Indoors and out, their villa is very comfortable place.
