We did not meet Andrea as he lives in Florence, but the communication via telephone or the Airbnb app was very good. The apartment is beautiful with amazing vaulted ceilings, panelled doors & mosaic tiled floors. The old part of Poggiardo is also interesting with lovely Baroque buildings in the centre. The location is also excellent for touring the southern part of Puglia & is away from the August crowds & untouched by tourism. We liked staying here very much. Recommended!
