We had a wonderful time at Mattia's Villa, it was even nicer than described. Mattia and his father Renato were amazing hosts and really went out of their way to look after us during our stay. The villa is in a quiet rural location about 5 minutes drive from Ceglie Messapica and is privately gated amongst a few neighbouring properties.

On arrival we arranged to meet Renato in Ceglie at the local pastry shop 'Pasticceria Martinese' at 125 Via Martina because it is difficult to find the Villa by address. However once we found Renato he quickly guided us to the Villa by car where we were welcomed with fresh local pizza and Prosecco.

We arrived late in the evening but the next day Renato kindly showed us around Ceglie to find the best local shops to stock up with supplies and made it clear he was around to help as little or as much as we needed during our stay.

There is no currently no internet, the mobile phone reception is not great in the area and the kitchen is equipped only with the bare essential but this was not a big problem for us.
We would highly recommend this wonderful villa and the great hosts if you're visiting this beautiful area of Italy.
