We stayed at Umberto's place for 2 weeks in November and had a wonderful time! The AirBnB is a separate guest bungalow in the olive grove around Umberto's house and it therefore feels very private, secluded and calm.
The olive grove garden around the bungalow is simply huge - it is about 100m long and about 50m wide. It is a nice mix between well-kept paths in the front and a mix of trees (tall native trees, olive, lemon, palm trees) and natural shrubs and grass at the back. Umberto also created a separate mini garden attached to the bungalow, including an outdoor shower, for some extra privacy. There is also an outdoor brick grill / oven, as well as nice terrace in front of the bungalow with extra shade, sun loungers and tables and chairs for eating outside. We spent hours every day out in the mini garden and walking around the olive grove before going to the nature reserve and town, it was extremely relaxing.

The bungalow itself is well equipped and kept very clean. The first room is a kitchen dining room, next comes the bedroom with a large double bed bunk bed, TV and clothes rail; followed by a very generous size bathroom. Each room has large modern windows that lets plenty of light come in, as well as gas heating and modern radiators - which was a great help during the colder November nights. The kitchen is also very well equipped, with enough dishes, pots and pans to cook for an entire family - which is super helpful, especially if you don't want to eat out for 3 meals a day. And, there is stable and all-you-can use internet - a real treat as lots of AirBnB's in Italy have internet with a maximum data limit per month.
One of the main attractions in the area is of course the nature reserve Porto Selvaggio. It is about 5 min drive from Umberto's house and has very large public parking spaces that are free to use now in off-season. The nature reserve again is very very big and there is lots to explore - there are some main paths that are show on google maps, but also many myriad hiking and cross country trails that are not. You can therefore go a different route every day to explore the wild forest, the cliffs around the coast and the mini beaches with crystal clear water. It's a beautiful landscape an now in November, very green and lush and as well.
The old town of Nardo is about a 10 min drive away, and apart from the old city center, there are plenty of places to shop, eat and get other necessities. All in all, the location is very convenient, because it is both quiet (you cannot hear much else than bird song) but at the same time very close to everything we needed.
Umberto was also a great host. He lives in the main house, a handsome period building, and he was always helpful when we needed anything. We could use his washing machine and kitchen scales, and he gave us lots of tips of where to eat, and spend time and go food shopping. He was also extremely quick to respond - we were in need of an AirBnB at relatively short notice and he replied to our request within 1-2 hours, was super quick to answer all our questions and we were able to arrive the same day - simply perfect.
We initially thought we would only spend a couple of nights at Umberto's place, but we were so positively surprised by this place, that we decided to stay for 2 weeks. Especially the large garden and the mini garden, are what makes Umberto's AirBnB stand out.
We can only highly recommend it to anyone and we would happily come back here any time again! Five Stars all around!!
