great place; great location. the owners were sweet and helpful, but not overbearing or in your face. they brought over a basket of beautiful local & homegrown/homemade food. just delicious. the property has been in their family for generations, and it shows. this does not feel like an "income investment", it really feels like a beloved family home.
we explored all of the local towns (Ceglie Messapica, Martina Franca, Matera, Alberobello, Noci, Locorotondo, and so many more!), but from the location we could also be on one of the most beautiful beaches i've ever been on, inside of an hour. and the Ionina Sea was warm & crystal clear. just incredible.
so if you're wondering about this place, the answer is: YES!
