We loved our stay at Francesco's "apartment with sea view terrace." The terrace was so beautiful, and the view of the sea was magical. The apartment is adorable, and was perfect for us 3 girls traveling around. The location was perfect, with parking available for our rented car...a few blocks from the historical center (and most amazing gilato)....a short walk to the rocky beach to lay by the pristine clear sea. Also was a great location to drive to nearby olive groves, and to drive to the Bari airport where we left from. Francesco was so wonderful! He was incredibly nice and helpful. He sat down with us on the terrace and let us ask about recommendations. We unfotunately only had 1 day and two nights (wish we could have stayed a lot longer) and he thankfully recommended we spend part of our day at the olive groves. Francesco called his friends at two olive groves so we could go visit and have a tour and a tasting! It was a highlight of our trip! He was very responsive to emails prior to arrival, and was simply a great host! Francesco, his apartment, the olive groves, and Pogliano made for the perfect end to our month long Europe trip. We strongly recommend visiting this town and staying at Francesco's, we will return for sure!
