We had a great stay in Villanova. Communication before and during our stay was excellent. Gaetano met us promptly and spent lots of time with us giving suggestions of where to visit by car on our trip. The photos don't do this place justice, as it is newly renovated and was a fantastic place to finish off our 10 days in Apuglia (we stayed here 3 nights). Nice to sleep away from the busy touristy towns but still in a place where there are bars and restaurants for the evening. It is extremely central.
Gaetano walked back to our car with us the first day to ensure where we had parked was okay and on our last morning, he spotted us in the cafe and treated us to our morning coffees and pastries. The little touches that are much appreciated! A car would be required to stay here, but I would definitely recommend. We had stayed in Bari and Lecce prior to this so to stay in a small 'local' town was a great end to the trip.
