Viviana and her daughter Virginia were FANTASTIC hosts. They welcomed us with open arms to beautiful Mola Di Bari.
Viviana has perfect English which made communication really easy and correspondence were always prompt.

Viviana recommended to us the very best authentic places to visit and eat. We were grateful for the guidance as it meant we had a true Italian experience.
We ate the best quality food (we had great gastronomical experiences in every café/pizzeria/restaurant we dined in) and pastries ,gelato cappuccinos and prosecco were soooo cheap!! (compared to Dublin prices)

We didn't want to hire a car (who needs a car when the beach is on your door step) so when we did go exploring we would pleasantly walk (into Mola Di Bari), to go further we used the bikes provided or public transport which meant we saw more sights and towns without the stress of driving.
We would walk to the local patisserie every morning and on the way back stop at the speciality mozzarella shop!

Our holiday home was beautifully decorated, was spotlessly clean and had air con!. We would sit outside in the evening and listen to the sea...which was heaven. There is a mobile modem which made internet access easy and we would bring the modem out with us as we needed it for google translate.

The beautiful long stretch of beach is only 30 steps away from the house, the beach is on the Adriatic side of Italy which means its rocky on entrance but we already knew this, brought light swim shoes and the water was warm and divine.
We have such great memories from our trip and we definitely want to return.
Everywhere we went people were really friendly and welcoming and were patient with our very poor Italian language skills.
Fellow BnB'rs this is the real Italy bring your phrase book and google translate. Go exploring, eat out, have appertivo, go to the town square - have prosecco/cappacinos and watch the locals and the world go by! Immerse yourself in Italian life and you will have a fantastic holiday.
