Ilaria's villa near Cisternino is the most beautiful villa we have ever stayed in and we had the perfect break there. The villa is finished and decorated impeccably, inside and out, with everything you need for a self-catering, luxurious stay. The outside and pool area is incredible, with beautiful panoramic views and more space than you could need. As advised by Ilaria, a car is essential, and the drive up to the villa from the main road is pretty challenging due to a very narrow, rather steep track lined by stone walls. Cisternino is only a 15 minute drive away and Ostuni can be reached easily as well.

Ilaria was very communicative and helpful both before and during our stay, being quick to respond to any queries and helping to get us in touch with the two friendly locals who checked us into the villa. We had the perfect stay here and I can't wait to return! Thank you for everything Ilaria, Rachel and Michael :)
