The property is one of 4 around a fabulous shared pool - each small villa has it's own eating area outside or there are communal spaces. The house had a modern/rustic decor that looked very inviting and the team could not have been more helpful - responding to late night text messages on occasion, helping book excursions and deliver the local wine that we loved. We felt so relaxed and happy during our 6 night stay and the area is very quiet and friendly and the lack of other tourists in the town was a welcome surprise. I would definitely return and am considering bringing more friends to rent out the other villas for a larger group holiday!
One consideration is the location - it is quite remote. You must have a car when staying here as taxis were on the more expensive side when we didn't want to drive to dinner. There are a few great areas that are well worth visiting such as Monopoli & Polignano a Mare, as well as the local town Castellana Grotte (where you MUST go to Osteria del Caroseno - the food is incredible and extremely well priced).
A note: the house was very clean on arrival, but you do need to buy things like toilet roll, dishwasher tablets etc, as they were not provided and there isn't a large amount of space in the kitchen to wash up.
Thank you in particular to Stephania who was a fantastic host and really made our trip so much easier and relaxing.
