Oceano Villa is amazing! Our group of 10 (5 adults, 5 children) stayed at Maria and Andrea and family's beautiful villa. We rented the entire villa, which is made up of 3 apartments (each 3+ bed/3 bath), which gave us full use of the pool, and many outdoor spaces. To say that the villa is heavenly would not do it justice. The house itself is clean and modern, with all amenities you would expect, and it is so beautiful. There are 2 huge outdoor dining spaces, multiple terraces, multiple lounge areas and more. The location is superb, just across the street from the sea, a short walk from multiple swimming spots, and a 15 min walk/2 min drive to the Grotte Verde (which is a must see). Across the street also is a wonderful bar/cafe serving coffees and gelato, as well as drinks, sandwiches and more--which was so convenient and the staff was so kind. Marina di Andrano is a wonderful location to explore the southern part of Salento--we had plenty of day trip options which were 45 mins or less away from the villa. But the best part of staying at the villa is Maria! Maria and family live in the 4th apartment in the villa and are wonderful. Maria's recommendations for dinner, beaches, tours, and more were amazing. We also had dinner at the villa 2 nights, which was delicious, relaxing and allowed for great conversations with Maria and Maria Rosario (the chef, who also held a mini pasta making class for the whole group). If Maria makes a recommendation, do take the recommendation--our official vacation motto became "In Maria We Trust". She clearly loves sharing her home and her love of Salento with visitors.
