Carmela and her husband were really welcoming and helpful with a smooth check-in late in the night and a long list of suggestions and things to do around Cisternino.
The villa and the garden around it are well maintained and you can see the time and efforts the two spend to keep it pristine. The terrace and the garden that Carmela showed us with all her love for it, are amazing!
The flat itself is a bit dated, but it has everything you need and was clean. Besides, the terrace is huge and the perfect extension to the apartment.
The location is great to reach the hotspots of the region, as well as to enjoy the famous “bombette”.
P.S. At the time of our stay (July 2019), the flat booking on AirBNB was being managed by the agency “wepuglia” this made the appartment more expensive than it should be, without any value added. On top of that, the agency has negative reviews on other flats, which have nothing to do with this one. The agency tried to ask us for more money for a late check-in, which Carmela did for free. Intransparent and abusive of the flat owners to say the least.
As soon as the host can get rid of the agency we definitely recommend the stay and would give 5 stars value, as well.
