This is one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in, and we like to travel! Liz and Aidan have poured so much thought and love into this property, and it shows. The property is luxuriously appointed, with everything from a pool to pizza oven to outdoor shower. Little details like comfortable outdoor seating areas, solar-powered outdoor lighting, yoga mats, plentiful towels, extra pillows, and a kitchen welcome package (which included wine, water, coffee, tea, snacks, etc.) made this stay effortless and oh-so-comfortable. The property itself is in the country and about a 15-minute drive to the closest town, so it's best for those who are okay with lounging at the house for part of the time and driving to explore the local area the rest of the time. We loved exploring Cisternino, Ostuni, Matera, and the beaches. We wished we had more time and would have booked another night or two if we had known how fabulous the house and region would be. Liz was warm and hospitable in her communication and always made sure we had everything we needed. Don't hesitate - book this one!
