Before our arrival Kristine was amazing with recommendations for things to do and see in the Puglia area, every restaurant she recommended was perfect. You will definitely need a car and be up for adventure while staying at the masseria as it is not very close to any of the sites in Puglia, expect an average of 40 minute travel to most towns and beaches but totally worth it! We drove down from Rome so I had called ahead and asked for a simple dinner to be prepared for us. Everything Preditt, the chef and care taker, cooked for us was delicious! But be aware that Preditt and his family live in the house so you will not have the whole home to yourself. The masseria is beautiful and so are the grounds, the pool was a bit chilly but that did not deter my 6 year old daughter at all and if the weather was warmer it would have been a nice relief. Tons of lizard and toad hunting for her and lots of relaxing for the rest of us. Being on a working farm did have its noise issues in the wee hours of the morning but we did reap the benefits with the delicious wine and freshly picked fruit. Communication did lapse once we checked in but after a bit of back and forth with Kristine things were taken care of. After the masseria we stayed at their villa in Sorrento. It is an amazing piece of 80's architecture with museum quality modern art from the same era throughout the home. The beach and walk down to it were not very kid or pregnant lady friendly which was a bit of a bummer but the views from up at the house were spectacular! I just wish there weren't so many mosquitos so we could have opened up the house at night to the beautiful surroundings and ocean air, but what can you do?!
