The house is located about 10 minutes by car from Martina Franca (lovely historic centre to visit in the evenings) so not too far although those 10min seem to take longer because of the narrow and winding roads (unlit at night). It is a nice house but it has a lot more furniture than is shown in the photos so it is really not as spacious and feels cramped. My daughter did not want to sleep in the small alcove as it felt really really small so she slept with my mother in the other bed. The house was very clean and well-equipped. However, it is also very dark. We had several bright sunny days during our stay and the rooms were never as bright as they were shown in the photos. We also had not realised there was no wifi (our fault as the listing does specify it) and this was rather inconvenient as there is also no phone signal in the house, so it made planning things to do the next day, etc more difficult as there was no access to the internet. The check in was done by a nice lady, who was good in explaining everything. The outside of the house is very lovely and charming.
