We stayed for 9 nights and used the villa as a base to visit other places in the region eg Matera, Ostuni, Gallipoli etc. the villa was perfect for our needs (2 adults and a baby). The garden is fantastic and we were allowed to take what we wanted to eat. The communication from the agency and the owner (Luigi) was excellent and we even ate at his restaurant, which was fantastic (it’s highly reviewed on the internet as well). We would highly recommend it as a place to stay, we would strongly advise having use of a car though.
