We stayed in the house for one week at the end of Sept/beginning Oct. The house is located in the countryside in the hills, at the end of a narrow street. It’s a 15 mins drive to Monopoli - so you definitely need a car. It’s a great house surrounded by large trees, a beautiful and well-kept garden, with views of the surrounding area. The pool is nice, although it was a little cold for the time of the year, as it’s non-heated. During the hot summer months this shouldn’t be an issue! The house itself is fully equipped, nicely renovated and tastefully decorated. There’s a house attached to the one we stayed in, this wasn’t rented at the time we were there, so we had the garden for ourselves.
When we arrived, Enzo gave us a tour and explained all we needed to know. He also gave us some tips of restaurants/shops in the area. As a welcome gift we got a bottle of prosecco, homemade local appetizers and lots of fruit - we felt welcome right away! Communicating with Enzo is easy and friendly - he speaks basic English and makes smart use of Google translate if he can’t find a word :-)
If you like more liveliness and people around you, this might not be the place for you. But if you don’t mind to be a little outside the more crowded areas, in a quiet and peaceful place - this is perfect! We had a great holiday - thanks again Enzo!!
