Oh my goodness. Words cannot convey the warm hospitality we received from Lucrezia and Pino. They were simply the most wonderful hosts we had the pleasure to meet.
The apartment was indeed bigger than we expected and it had everything that we needed for a comfortable two night stay. Located just off the main road, it was convenient for us to reach local beaches (Torre Guaceto was fantastic) and Ostuni. The upstairs bedroom had a nice double bed whereas downstairs in the living room there was a sofa that doubled as a single bed. The kitchen was neat and well-equipped. The bathroom was large. Although in the day we could hear the traffic noise coming from the motorway, it completely died down at night and all we could hear was the sound of crickets. How lovely!
The highlight of our stay was the hospitality of Lucrezia and Pino. They would get out of their way to help us and they treated us like family. They even made some food for us - Lucrezia let us eat her own home-made orechette with tomato sauce and when we got back from Torre Guaceto, she let us taste her own facaccia that accompanied a large vegetable casserole. She didn't need to feed us, yet she treated us as family. They also have our little one a bunch of grapes and a sweet treat....thank you Lucrezia and Pino for your warm welcome and for making our stay in Puglia a wonderful experience.
