An incredibly thoughtfully designed and gorgeous house, if you are interested in both high quality ,stylish and also rustic/ historical living. Many special touches that make it a beautiful place to spend time. **This is an out of the ordinary Air B&B. It is a special place.
We spent many mornings and early evenings on the terrace.
We recieved a warm welcome/ check in by the caretaker Maria, as Owner Frederica lives outside of Sternatia, and easily communicated by text/ WhatsApp, Frederica’s mother is also in town and all three were lovely to interact with and work with .Everything went smoothly.
We had been traveling for two weeks and planned a homestay outside of the larger towns and this was better than we imagined. An unforgettable highlight of our trip in Puglia.
One thing to keep in mind. There are many steep stone stairs. If you do not expect this, and do not like this, you may not choose it. You must use them to get to the bedroom and terrace. They were no problem for us. They add to the charm. You will see for yourself.
Sternatia is a sweet, small beautiful town. The house is situated close to many day trips. We highly recommend Galentina.
Food! We had honestly some of the best pizza and pasta at Rolling cafe in Sternatia, ( and the meatballs and potato’s- polpette / patate) are unforgettable home cooking at its best! Do not be put off by the casual look of the place, the food is fabulous.
We hope to return and highly recommend staying here.
It will enhance your feel for Puglia by digging down and away from the touristic layer and going back in time to history and a slower pace of life.
Enjoy!
