The villa is truly beautiful, both inside and out, with a great sized pool and mature garden consisting of various areas with quirky sculptures. An added bonus was being able to pick figs and lemons! The kitchen is really well equipped with hob,oven and microwave, there is also a good sized barbecue. The location is quiet and peaceful, if you don’t wish to go exploring then it is easy to spend time relaxing in or around the pool. However it would be a shame not to experience the variety of communities easily accessible by car, plus the coastal areas offering rocky coves and sandy beaches. We spent a fantastic two weeks at the villa, Mimmo was extremely welcoming, made sure that it was easy to contact him should we have needed to. A lovely touch, on arrival, was the jar of local traditional biscuits, plus a range of drinks in the fridge. There are supermarkets nearby and Carovigno is well worth a visit, the Costello and surrounding area of town lovely to stroll around. Would love to return.
