We stayed for a week when the weather was quite hot. So, we really liked the pool just beside the cottage, the quietness of the surrounds, the hospitality and generosity of Riccardo and his family. Riccardo speaks good English and gave us some excellent tips on dining in Martina Franca. He also helped us to find an automatic laundry, as there is no washing machine at the property. Within an easy drive of the accommodation, there are a number of uniquely interesting and scenic towns. Overall, we would stay there again.
