The location was perfect, a short walk to old town/ 2 beaches / supermarket / fishmongers/ restaurants. The house was well set up, with secure gate, large garden with plenty of alfresco eating area. It has a lot of thoughtful touches, like snacks for us, and water bottles chilling in the fridge which was very welcome in a hot July day.
It would have been 10 out of 10 if not for 3 reasons - firstly, we found it difficult to find as the address link we clicked on air BnB was wrong and we drove around for a while. Iolanda who was meeting us does not speak english (common in Puglia) and we have no italian. We got there in the end. Secondly, the wifi was not working throughout our stay, keeps dropping for hours at a time. To their credit, they tried to fix it but did not work. It was a nuisance as afternoons are hot and we wanted to stream something for our 6 year old boy to watch during those times as well as we both had work that we brought that needed internet access - we ended up using our mobile data almost to our limit - and being worried at the second leg of holiday that we will go over.
Thirdly, there is no AC in the bedrooms - there is one in the lounge and one in hallway. It was very hot and uncomfortable at night - because of the layout, we cant have the AC in hallway full blast all night - as it blows directly into the small room and the bed in it.
Otherwise the place was better than almost all the places we have stayed before. Thank you Iolanda and Fabio
