How to start describing such a wonderful place and Hosts? The place; fantastic beyond our expectations and even better than the photos. The outside is amazing. It probably runs 800 metres from the gate at the front to the end beyond the last orchard. The garden is a very large cultivation of a wide variety of crops - tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, courgettes, herbs....... Fruit trees abound in the orchards, pears, figs, lemons etc.. The pool is huge, and pleasantly deep across much of its area. The pool surround is well appointed with a bathroom and the very large, comfortable, covered area for seating. The area is quiet - no dogs barking. There is a holiday park 500 metres away and at 4.00pm each day you can here their exercise session over the tannoy but it in no way intrudes and is rather funny. The grounds are tended most days by the gardener and family. Inside the villa is a simple but well appointed property with the ground floor consisting of a small kitchen, lounge and dining room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms and there are two bedrooms a bathroom and large lounge area in the cool (no windows) downstairs. Diego provides a welcome pack of snacks, water, herbs, salt & pepper - we have often wondered why other villas don't do this. The coffee maker was a great hit! Unlike other villas we have stayed at there is no shortage of towels!! The villa location was perfect for us, being 20 minutes from Brindisi and 5 minutes from Caravigno it made sightseeing trips to the towns and villages in Puglia easily within reach. The beach is 500 metres away and a short drive along the front gives a good choice of paid for lidos and public beaches - the water is crystal clear. I have to say what great hosts Diego and Tonino are!
In short; way beyond our expectations.
