The villa is beautiful and situated in a central part of Puglia. Day trips to Matera and Lecce are within easy driving distance. The setting of the villa is terrific- there is plenty of privacy and the outdoor area is wonderful. The photos are very accurate, but the grounds are even more beautiful in person. We all found the beds to be very comfortable. Last but not least, Mario is a wonderful host who went above and beyond to help us with our needs. Giusy the house manager helped us with dinner reservations and local suggestions and was extremely responsive in communication. You are in good hands when you stay at the villa. Mille grazie!
