I just spent 7 nights at Marina’s house with 5 family members and we all very much enjoyed our stay. The house itself is located about 5 to 10 minutes outside of Ostuni and so a car is essential. It is located in a very quiet area and we were not bothered by noise once throughout our stay.
The house was very clean, and for the most part, well equipped. The pictures on the Airbnb site do accurately depict the inside of the house and patio area. The pictures of the pool and grass area make those areas look bigger than they actually are.
Marina was very responsive to any questions we had and provided helpful local information
Pros:
Nice location to base oneself for exploring the Puglia area; very nice, comfortable, clean, and relatively well equipped accommodation; wonderful outdoor space; the center of Ostuni was just a short 5 to 10 minute drive;
Cons:
Mosquitoes. These were present throughout the day and despite citronella candles and mosquito coils, really impacted us fully enjoying the outside experience.
Helpful to knows:
No cell service at the house but the WiFi worked well. A well equipped supermarket is just 5 to 10 minutes drive away.
Recommendations to host:
It would have been nice if the lawn had been mowed before our arrival and the garden area maintained a little better. I would like to of had sufficient supplies like toilet paper, kitchen rolls, garbage bags, and dishwasher tablets to have lasted our whole stay. This has always been the the case in other Airbnb’s I have strayed in.
Overall, we had a very nice stay.
