We had an amazingly relaxing stay at the beautiful Villa Ilaria. The villa is set in a majestic rural garden and we really enjoyed the large swimming pool and surroundings. We managed to extensively visit the quaint and traditional towns and villages of Puglia as the location of the villa was ideally placed for visiting both east and west coastal areas.
Nearby Lecce also offers a rich variety of very old and beautiful architectural buildings, but also some great restaurants, bars and shops. Our party mostly enjoyed the ambience at the villa, with its traditional features and interesting and tasteful decor. Our lovely host, could not have been more kind or helpful, and Alfredo who was on hand to help, was always quick to assist with a cheerful manner, even on weekends! We returned home feeling really rejuvenated.
