Located in the picturesque countryside just a 10 minute drive from Ostuni, the location surpassed our expectations. The house is surrounded by a large garden with olive and lemon trees, which Angelo beautifully maintains. We would recommend renting a car, to take advantage of all the nearby locations (the drive provides ample parking).

The living space is in the form of a private apartment connected to main house. We felt both close enough to our hosts for advice and safety, but also private enough to enjoy our retreat. The rooms feel truly authentic, with the exposed rock creating a special atmosphere. The highlight is the spotlight above the bed, which fills the room with natural light. Both the kitchen and bathroom are very modern and the whole living area is extremely clean. We both felt it had an immense natural feel with lots of character, whilst also providing all the comfort you expect from a hotel.

Angelo and Caterina were perfect hosts. We both felt they provided almost a hotel level of service! When we arrived the apartment was stocked with bottled water, lots of fruit and bathroom essentials. There are even plasters and a washing machine! Every morning a table was set up outside for our breakfast. We were served Caterina’s delicious homemade cakes and breads, with plenty of espresso and warm milk. This was delivered by the truly charismatic Angelo, who had us all laughing non-stop! Talita was able to speak with Angelo and Caterina in Italian, but Claudia was responsible for communicating (in English too!) during the booking process and always responded promptly. Our hosts were really attentive and made sure we were OK the whole time (even ringing us to check we hadn’t got lost late one night!) Not only did we have an excellent stay, but we made new friends! :)
