Dario's house is really recommended. Luxurious, decorated with style, with a very nice swimming pool and 2 terraces, 1 with barbecue zone. The kids loved the house. As it's located on a hill in the Valle d'Itria, you'll enjoy beautiful views over the valley and the refreshing breeze.

From here, it's easy to visit nearby cities, they're all little gems with cultural sights, nice restaurants and bars. We often stayed at home during the day with the kids enjoying the pool and garden and chose a different "paese" each day for a cultural visit, aperitivo or dinner. Plenty of choice. Both coasts of Ionic and Adriatic sea are not far away. Adriatic sea is probably better as the Taranto coast is further away and less attractive (we loved the medieval part of the city though). The Valle d'Itria is also ideal for race biking or mountain biking on small roads through the fields with olive trees.

Dario's parents welcomed us with bruschetta and a big smile. They're really lovely. Paolo showed us the best bakeries, cheese farms, butchers and groceries and restaurants to visit in Ceglie (the nearest village at 5km.).

Hope to come back here !
