We spent a lovely two weeks in this amazing house. It's conveniently close to the beach (the provided bikes allow easy access the nearby nature reserve) and is within an hour drive of villages/towns that are worth exploring (e.g., Ostuni, Brindisi, Lecce, Bari,...). The house itself is not only amidst olive trees, it is also oriented along a north-south axis meaning you always have enough shade to escape the sun if it get's too hot. The kitchen is basic (e.g., no dishwasher), but who needs a fancy kitchen when you can eat out at low prices? The road to the house is sandy and bumpy--which means there is virtually no traffic--but you could hear a train once an hour (railroad tracks are within 500m or so). This is a perfect house for those who would like to combine sightseeing with spending some time at the beach without having to reside in a crowded beach resort.
