The house was a perfect place for our family of 5--parents, 10 month old, and grandparents. Our baby loved all of the delightful toys found in a large basket and a drawer by the fireplace! There was lots of spacious room for him to crawl around safely and happily. There was ample room for a crib in either of the large bedrooms. The kitchen was very well stocked with all of the implements for us to prepare meals. We even grilled steaks on the outdoor grill and enjoyed eating and relaxing in the enchanting outdoor patio. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious, with a great shower and one of the largest bathtubs we've ever seen, which looks out onto the lovely surrounding olive grove. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with fruit trees and flowers. There are many herbs right off the kitchen for use in cooking. We loved wandering throughout the many surrounding olive groves. There was an abundance of privacy, serenity and beauty!! James kindly gave us permission to use their bicycles, which we rode on the old back roads into Spongano and around the area. One of the surprising delights were the two dogs, Frizzle and Flop, that reside on the property, taken in by the owners as strays. They do not enter the house but live on the grounds. They loved running with my husband and son alongside the bikes, all the way to Spongano. Our grandson was delighted by Frizzle, who slept on a cushion outside the main room's window. He was a great watch dog. We enjoyed feeding them each day and bringing home scraps and bones from our meals out. Everything about our stay made us feel part of that beautiful world. James was always immediately responsive to any queries, and Rocco, the local manager, was very gracious and helpful as well. There were wonderful beaches in nearby towns. We would return to this place in a heartbeat!!
