Quiet (apart from the odd passing train) and secluded in a countryside full of olive groves, and yet only 5 minutes in the car to Francavilla we loved staying in Alessandro's house. Met by his parents offering gifts of tomatoes, stracciatella cheese, wine and local biscuits got us off to a good start. Really nicely done out inside and one of the best furnished kitchens we've ever used in AirBnB. We took great advantage of the patio areas in boiling temperatures . You can get to beaches with beautiful blue water within thirty minutes and to the gorgeous towns of Ostuni, Lecce, Oria (5 minutes up the road and not in the guide books!) and Gallipoli within the hour (to name a few). Supermarket 3 minutes a way with lush italian produce . Go and discover Puglia before everybody else does!
