This was my second visit to Villa Mon Plaisir. I stayed here with a good friend and colleague with the primary purpose to get some important research writing done. We went out of our way to book this place again for a week, because we had such a great time last year and we knew that it would be the key to our success. Away from all the distractions of our home environments and urban surroundings, the landscape that surrounds this Villa and the magnificent view on the olive trees and the sea brings peace and joy - and if you'd plan to use it for work purposes: a deep focus. That being said, you are at the same time only a short drive away from a good restaurant (Grill-event) and a convenient shopping centre in Manfredonia. Past the house runs a famous pilgrimage route, up to Monte Sant'Angelo. There are many must-see cultural and natural sites around the Gargano, but I guarantee you that you will always return to the villa and be startled again by the view from the spacious terrace. Mirko's hospitality is gracious and flawless. We warmly recommend this place, also for long-term stays. We will return for sure!
