What a wonderful week! Maria and Francesco are fantastic hosts and the house is perfectly positioned to explore the best of the region. Arriving on the first day with 3 kids in-toe Maria took us food shopping as we had arrived slightly early and most of the shops in central Manduria were closed (Maria’s kindness took us by surprise – not use to a host being so welcoming). Throughout the holiday Francesco and Maria were always available if needed and provided excellent guidance for excursions and attractions to visit. One of the best nights was having a Pizza Chef cook for us using the outside Pizza oven. We all had a great evening selecting ingredients for our Pizza’s including the kids! We even invited him back for our last evening and shared the experience with Francesco and Maria. Our kids had a wonderful time playing in the pool every day and continually searching for Francesco’s dogs. Maria, Oscar is really missing Tata!

The house is in a great location, beautifully maintained, secluded and quiet and only a short drive from Manduria. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to couples and families alike.
