The villa is centrally located in the middle of Puglia. It is close to Ostuni (+/- 10 min by car) which is a beautiful town to visit, eat out and visit the local market on Saturdays. The garbage collection point where you have to dispose of your waste is also located in Ostuni, so it is nearby. The villa has a beautiful swimming pool, covered terrace and outdoor kitchen. It is very pleasant to stay here during the day and in the evening. The villa is new and therefore still looks well maintained. The airco works well. The garden is now much more overgrown with plants than in the photos and therefore looks more beautiful in real life. During our stay the ground cover was blooming creating a beautiful buzzing blanket of bees/wasps during the day. You overlook a small olive grove.
There was a kind assistant on site who arranged the check-in. A tip from us to read the small print carefully (we had overlooked this), namely that €250 extra per week has to be paid for the assistant, cleaning of the villa (in and around) and the maintenance of the swimming pool. The villa is a nice place to spend a holiday. We also came to the villa to remotely work from there, but unfortunately that didn't work out as well because we only had a sufficient telephone connection outside the villa, making telephone calls more difficult. Also due to construction noise from construction sites on surrounding plots. (Although the plots are large, sound is transferred quickly). It was therefore less quiet / peaceful than we had hoped. This was a disappointment as we specifically asked upon booking if there was construction work, to which the host responded negatively. During our stay the hosts were easily accessible and they contacted the builders, it seemed to have never happened before. The work eventually started again and therefore we left 2 days earlier. Although the hosts compensated us with the cleaning costs for the inconvenience during our four-week stay, at the end we did not feel completely heard by not granting our request for a refund for those last two unused days. We let this go since, we guess, there are always two opinions in the story.
