This is an exceptional villa. It has wonderful outdoor spaces which have been carefully thought out and offers fantastic opportunity to relax in various parts of the spacious plot. The pool is a great size and everything outdoors is very private and has a great sense of countryside. You have two good options to cook outside (which we did all the time) and beyond that there is a pizza oven. The villa is spacious and of a high standard in terms of its fixtures and fittings - everything you need id there. We have been renting villas in this bracket / size in Europe and across the world for over twenty years - this could be the best we have found. It is situated in a lovely part of Puglia - very close to Brindisi Airport and with so many charming and gorgeous towns, villages and beaches all in a short driveable distance - in July it was remarkably still on the quiet side for tourists - perfect! Catherine is a friendly, hard working host who communicates readily and quickly and is so eager to make sure this villa is first class - it is! Will return soon.
