The welcome was warm and pleasant. The apartment is simple but characteristically furnished and equipped with the necessary amenities. There is a lovely terrace, where you can enjoy the Italian sun in privacy and silence. On the roof is a shared terrace with a breathtaking view of the old town. When you look the other way, you can see thousands of olive trees all the way to the Adriatic sea. The garden is a joy, where you can have breakfast at a picnic table among the olive, apple and pomegranate trees. In the garden you will also find sage, thyme and rosemary. If you listen carefully you can hear the rooster crowing and the donkey braying in the distance. Following the reports of previous tenants, the dog does bark, but he is not aggressive. Instead, he’s sweet, likes attention and loves to be petted. From this little paradise in the countryside it is only a 5 minute walk to the old town where you can stroll through narrow streets and alleys, and of course enjoy the Italian cuisine and hospitality.
