Mera and Giovanni were fabulous hosts. The photos give a true impression. The house is situated a couple of miles outside Cisternino and, with Mera's directions, we found it easily. The property is very spacious inside, and outside there are several seating areas, for eating, relaxing and enjoying the view. Their Mediterranean garden is lovely. We were treated to fresh figs and other fruits on arrival, and also to an amazing variety of basics, as well as breakfast items, local treats, and a very welcome bottle of wine. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped, and as a Brit I was pleased to find a kettle and toaster. Mera was kind enough to lend us beach towels and a beach umbrella. There are many lovely villages to explore in the area, as well as the coast which is only about 20 minutes away. We didn't need to use the aircon during our stay but I'm sure it's invaluable in summer. I wholeheartedly recommend Mera's house as a base for a very relaxing holiday. Thank you Mera and Giovanni for your hospitality.
