We had a lovely stay at this little house overlooking Matinella bay. We were very kindly received by Maria Grazia"s parents, who live in the main house above the magnificent pool and are always available in case of problems, which we didn't have. The house has a large terrace overlooking the sea where we spent many hours. The house was spotlessly clean and the grounds well kept. For us a plus were the (5) cats and (3) dogs wandering about plus (3) horses. With only two other apartments (only one of which was occupied when we were there), there is a lot of privacy, and more than enough space around the pool. Mattinata village is a pleasant town with bars and restaurants alpng its main street, 6 minutes downhill from the apartment, with a large free parking area at the entrance of this street, where the locals parade every evening having drinks with their friends. Several natural (beaches) and cultural (pilgrimage shrines) sights are within an hour drive away. Recommended!
