This house is absolutely beautiful! There were 10 of us total, so we had both sides of the home (it was separated into two apartments, each with their own bathroom and kitchen). There was a lot of space outside to play games, chase kittens, and eat dinner under the stars. Our young daughter loved to watch the chickens, wave to the horse, and admire the grapes in the vineyard.
Our host was very generous and welcoming. We communicated with him exclusively in Italian since half of our party was from Italy, so we can't comment on ease of communication in English. They offered us a homemade crostata (breakfast tart) on our first day which was delicious, as well as homemade olive oil as a parting gift when we left. We cooked dinner at home most evenings, and the kitchen was well equipped.
The location isn't far from Cisternino, following a maze of narrow roads. It was a short drive to the beach, to Ostuni, Martina Franca, etc. We also did day trips to further locations like Lecce and Matera, and the distance was manageable.
