Mariachiaras villa is beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. There was nothing that we needed. Francesco was very informative and helpful on local information. The pool and outside covered sitting areas were brilliant particularly in the heat of the day and we had a lovely week exploring the Salento area. Otranto was particularly beautiful and well worth a visit and Gallipoli just a short drive away for lovely meals and to wander the old town. We would definitely like to return here again.
