Villa Andrea was all we hoped it would be , and more ! The house is beautifully and thoughtfully constructed and appointed . The beds , couches and outdoor seats are beyond comfortable and top quality (something not easy to find in Puglia rentals) . All appliances , linens and towels are top notch (they even provide beach towels which I thought was a nice detail) and the pool … amazing ! It was hard to leave the house to go to the beach or to check out the towns , of which there are many around Valle D’Itria and all very beautiful in their own special way . Location of the house is absolutely great , surrounded by the magnificent Apulian countryside of red earth , old olive groves and hidden trulli , relics of a time gone by . There are even some fig and almond trees in the property , of which we took advantage daily . It’s so peaceful and silent out there it seems otherworldly at times , yet very close and convenient to many important towns in the area (Ostuni , Carovigno and Ceglie Messapica to name a few) . Our host Marion was very kind and communicative as well as Angela , the property manager . You can tell the love and thought that was put in building and decorating the house and we feel very lucky to have been able to spend a week in such wonderful environment . Thank you so much Marion for Sharing your special place ! We shall be back for sure :)
