We would give this place 10 stars out of 5 if we could! We had such a wonderful stay at Pietro's casetta! ♥
Located very conveniently and within walking distance of the beautiful town of Ostuni (la città bianca) we were so very lucky to spend our very first time in Puglia with our sweet Italian host Piero! Even though we don't speak Italian, Pietro went out of his way to try and communicate with us (yay, Google Translate!) and make us feel at home (which we did!). The little house was super neat and nicely designed and fully equipped with everything one might need; we were welcomed with a full fridge and plenty of breakfast foods and fresh fruits from the garden (those figs were so delicious)! The outside space is amazing, so big and wonderfully kept! And you can see the sun rise just above the Adriatic Sea if you're up early enough to witness it :)
When we arrived in the afternoon to check-in, Pietro had been so very kind to make a (voluntary) reservation for us at a local restaurant (Al Solito Posto, would recommend this place as well!) which we considered such a nice gesture and which was actually a very tasty start of our stay in Puglia! During the rest of our stay Pietro also provided us with local tips and suggestions for nice outings, checking in on us regularly just to make sure we had everything we needed. And when our check-out day arrived, we were presented with some homemade marmalade as a parting gift, which was so very sweet! I think we can honestly say Pietro is one of the nicest hosts we've ever experienced on Airbnb ever! We are just so lucky to have stumbled upon this hidden gem!
All in all, we would really recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice spot to stay during a vacation in Puglia. We will fondly remember our stay here and hope perhaps we'll get to visit again someday!
Thank you Pietro for being such a great host, we had a lovely time!
