We have spent two weeks in this wonderful villa end of July / August. We were three generations of one family, the youngest being 6 years old. The villa is perfect for large groups / families. Penelope was prompt with her replies prior to us arriving. The local contact Filomena was also very welcoming and did her best to answer any questions we had during the stay.
The villa itself is a beautiful modernised trulli. It is spotless, very well maintained and equipped. There are more than enough bathrooms and pool and bath towels are provided. The master bedroom has air conditioning but there are plenty of fans to have in the other rooms. The villa stayed cool (and kept the mosquitos out!) with us keeping doors and windows closed during the day. The garden with the Oleandra trees, blooming flowers and butterflies, set within a large olive and almond grove made it very idyllic. The villa was not overlooked and was set well back from the road making it very quiet.
We had a fabulous time in the pool with its very own diving pit and jacuzzi. It definitely gave us respite from the heat. Cleaning and general pool maintenance was excellent.
The villa is located 5km from Carovigno, a typical Puglian town which has not been taken over by mass tourism, maintaining it’s charm. A car is a must to be able to get around. We thoroughly recommend getting out and about to visit the local towns, beaches and markets. We found the villa and local information folder very useful as a guide.
We all had a fabulous time and felt fortunate to have stayed in such a perfect place. We definitely want to come back. Thank you to the hosts for having this place on AirBnB!
