Paolo's place is simply amazing. In the very centre of Rutigliano with the atmosphere of local life, mostly with Italians. Lots of them spend time sitting on the benches, chatting and resting in the evening. Beautiful view from the windows, although they overlook the centre it's quiet and nice inside. The terrace is huge and you can sit there in the evening with a glass of wine. Paolo was always for you, ready to help, he gave us lots of important tips. We didn't hire a car, it wasn't neccessary, the public transport is great and cheap. We have spent there 4 days which was enough for visiting Conversano, Alberobello, Poliagno a mare and Locorotondo. If you want to spend fantastic time far from the big cities and noisy places do not hesitate, visit Paolo in Rutigliano.
