This villa is amazing, sparkling clean, spacious, quiet, with a beautiful big yard and different sorts of palm trees, and even with a roof terrace from which you can see the sea. We stayed there for a week, with a kid of 1.5 year, and this was just a perfect place. The nearest nice sandy beach is just 2-3 minutes walk from the villa, and many others are just a short ride from the place. The house seems to be freshly painted or renovated, it has 3 bedrooms with very comfortable beds, AC, and has a beautiful veranda with sunbeds and confi chairs. Lots of space for clothes. We've got even a hammock and a parasol to bring to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a bbq area outside and an outside shower (besides the bathroom that is in the house). The grass was neatly trimmed, so it was soft beneath our feet. We did not meet Francesco in person, but his brother and parents. They were very welcoming, really something you seek when you book via airbnb - it is a direct contact with the family that owns the house, and we were welcomed like we were friends for years. The family is warmhearted. We got lots of tips for dinning and visiting. As for dinning, the best is to do it in Manduria (15 minutes car ride), or Maruggio. We did not go to Campomarino for dinning since it was end of the season, so I cannot comment on it. But there is also a nice beach in Campomarino. The location is perfect for daily trips to other bechaes since it is cles to many of them, and also to visit other towns, like Gallipoli, Lecce etc. Overall, Francesco's place is super nice, and I fully recommend staying there.
