I must say that this will not be a typical review because of the circumstances, however, I will try to put into words my experience. First of all, Casa Turchese was perfect. I was staying there alone for 6 weeks to remodel a home I had purchased. I walked in and it was spotless, there was homemade bread, biscotti, figs, water and coffee. Anna lives very close and was very accommodating, plus there's plenty of parking space. Unfortunately, after only a week I slipped on the cobblestone (wearing heels) in Ostuni and was taken to the hospital only to find out I had broken my wrist. Being an American and speaking little Italian was extremely frightening. I was told I had to have surgery the next day. Anna spent the entire day with me and made certain I was properly cared for. She and her family were there the whole time for support. When I was released from the hospital Anna was there to pick me up and she took me to her home where she had a delicious soup ready for me. Later when we returned to Casa Turchese she helped me pack so I could return home to recover. Anna and her husband got up at 4:00 am to drive me to the airport. What I got in the week I was there is rare. We still communicate with each other often so I guess I would say if you were to stay at Casa Turchese, you're treated more like family than a guest. Anna Vita is awesome and she wants you to feel at home!!
