Our stay at Casolare del Uvigli was nothing short of magical!
Mario was the most helpful and communicative host we had the pleasure of staying with, he went over and above to recommend restaurants, organize activities, make reservations etc with all being incredible!
We were a group of 7 (5 adults 2 kids) and found the home to have ample space for us all both independently and together.
The house is well situated 10 minutes from Ostuni, 7 minutes from the grocery, 25-60 minutes from other main towns and centrally located in Puglia which is a large and spread out region. The driving is “challenging” with the narrow roads and round abouts.
The house is exactly as shown in the photos, and is extremely well appointed. The pool and outdoor living spaces were definite highlights along with the morning strolls in the olive groves. The history of the home is also extensive being built partially in a trullo.
Must see towns: Ostuni (recommend for aperitif or dinner to see the beauty of the light on the hillside with less traffic), Alberobello (amazing and super touristy. Go very early!!), Locorondoto (beautiful and relaxing, have lunch and a gelato and watch the world go by), Monopoli and Polignano a Mare (seaside towns, 15 min apart, beautiful views) beaches (east side when it’s warm, west when it’s cooler temps)
Puglia is an up and coming region, many shop keepers do speak a little English tho some don’t, it is rural and rustic and perfect for relaxing and exploring at Casolare del Uvigli
Thank you Mario for making special memories for our family
