Amazing amazing amazing place! When the gate closes behind you, you find yourself in an oasis of rest and tranquillity. A territory is huge, very well kept, ideal combination of green, sun and shadow. There are 4 villas there, owners live in one of them and other ones to rent, of which this one is the biggest. But you live very private: location of villas is as such that you hardly see other visitors. It is not too modern but very cozy. Enough space inside but more important, huge terraces around the house that create shadow where we spent most of free time. Many various options to sit/lay down, for every taste. 3 douche options including an open air one, we loved it.
Owners Paolo and Filomena take care of you better than your own father and mother 😊, so much care, without that you feel that it’s too much, and they are such amazingly lovely people!!!!! And of course our big friend Bianco the dog, that comes along every day from time to time to check things out, most kind dog I’ve ever met. Our children are in love with him!
Some practical info:
- beach: nearest one is 1 minute walk, bigger one is 2 minutes walk (which we preferred - take the path to the left from the gate)
- supermarket: we went to Eurospin in St Pietro Vernotico which is 15 min drive. For complicated stuff there is Auchan near Brindisi which is approximately 30 min drive. I think there was a small grocery store in the next village but we just did Eurospin in combination with local fruit and vegetable shopping a couple of houses along the street which is open daily from 17 to 21, delicious fresh bio fruit and veggies which cost nearly nothing
- for best experience exploring the area we recommend to have a car all the time, we just rented one online in advance and picked it up from Brindisi Airport. It would be a pity to miss a chance to explore various beautiful cities, towns and natural areas in Salento
- restaurants: virtually everywhere, in every village, from 5 min by bike to 1 h by car, you choose
Summary: ideal place for a relaxed holiday directly on a cleanest and most beautiful Adriatic coast. Dive into holiday life just like native south Italians do, no typical tourist stuff, much privacy, fantastic food and great people around. We had amazing 2 weeks there, left home fully recharged with awful lots of photos and great impressions and we definitely plan to come back once.
