We have stayed at many AirBNBs throughout Europe and the US, and this was by far the best. The communication before our arrival was excellent. We took a bus to Grottaglie from the Taranto station, and Maria & her husband were there to greet us and transport us to their place. When we arrived, they helped us get the bags upstairs, and there was an amazing homemade focaccia there for us to eat, along with many other amenities.
After such a warm welcome, they showed us around the place. It was impeccably clean, and it felt like a five-star hotel, complete with fine furnishing & artwork. It had a large bedroom, 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen that had everything we needed. Maria had also prepared a wonderful Nutella torte for our breakfasts. (I cannot say enough about how delicious it was!). There was air conditioning for the bedroom and it allowed us to sleep very well. Everything about the stay was perfect. We highly recommend this AirBNB to anyone traveling to Grottaglie or Puglia!
