I absolutely loved Ignazio's rustic House near Spongano. The grounds were lovely overlooking a mass of olive trees. We had a great time playing boule amongst the olive trees and the pool was very refreshing after a hot day out. Ignazio was very helpful and booked lots of good quality restaurants for us and gave us some great recommendations. I have fallen in love with this part of Italy, it is slightly away from the main tourist areas but there is so much to do in the area. The villa is in between two different coastlines, the nearest being Castro ten minutes away which is a rugged coast, and the other way in forty minutes you have beaches like the Maldives. We went to some very relaxing beach clubs. Great area to hire bikes and go cycling as you literally cycle from village to village and it is very flat! Spongano the nearest village has a restaurant in the town square that does a very tasty seafood pasta. Also a pizza takeaway! I would go back tomorrow.
