This is a wonderful and peaceful place to stay and to escape the summer crowds around Ostuni. We arrived on a Sunday with stores closed and Mariella and her mother even brought us some milk and bread from the farm to make sure our kids had something in the morning. The countryside is beautiful, the house thoughtful and comfortable. A few small details could be improved in the communication so that guests feel trusted and independent, and guests should know ahead of time that the water is not good for drinking, but overall it is a really nice place and hosts are very friendly and helpful. We hope to come back and spend more time in this beautiful area.
