Staying in Maria Teresa's country house was a wonderful experience as well as a great way to discover the fertile countryside of Puglia. We took daily walks through ancient olive groves and almond orchards, stopping every once in a while to gorge on figs and the occasional plum tree. Not far from the house sits an abandoned Trullo, which was fun for the kids to come across and investigate. Maria Teresa was an excellent host, she shared vegetables from her garden and even gave us a tour of the olive oil factory which is adjacent to the house. Guests should know that the property is a little out of the way (15 minute drive to a well stocked supermarket, 25 minutes to the beach). We highly recommend this stay.
