We had a very nice stay at Alessandra's. She was not in when we arrived, but her father welcomed us nicely. It was great to have tea, coffee, biscuits, eggs and fruits to prepare nice breakfasts for the whole week. The house is very quiet and we slept very well. The bed was extremely comfortable. The location is great to visit the area and you find everything you need in the village. The only thing a bit less positive is that the house is not as clear/sunny as expected, notably the bedroom. But otherwise everything was great. In addition Alessandra is an excellent professional masseuse and I highly recommend her for a long massage at a reasonable price. In the area, there are many nice villages: Monopoli, Polignano do mar, Locorotondo Martina Franca, Alberabello.. We tried several very good restaurants: one was indicated by Alessandra: Pizzeria Pietra Antica, close to the house; the others are U Curdunn in Locarotondo, and Il Cortiletto in Speziale di Fasano ( for this one you have to book a table in advance). If you like to walk, you can do a round tour of 2/3h on small roads starting from the house (but you need a GPS).
