We had a beautiful time in Santa Cesarea Terme and Antonella was a wonderful and gracious host. She greeted us for our arrival and had left us a basket of local tomatoes, breads, and olive oil--perfect after a long day of traveling. The kitchen had everything we needed. The villa was spacious for two people with a amazing fully furnished patio. Just a very short walk to the sea. The town was lovely and completely desolate (in late May), so many days when we swam we were the only people at the beach. We also visited many local towns and cities: our favorites were Gallipoli (sandy beaches and amazing food) and the countryside around Locorontundo. Stay here!!!
