The Proud Garden is one of the nicest places we have stayed. James has created such a beautiful and peaceful B&B - the rooms were immaculate and very stylish, the pool area is stunning, and the design touches around the house are all beautiful. Breakfast was great, and there was no time pressure to be up by a certain time for breakfast, as James was very flexible. Each room has a private terrace, and a small kitchen area for those who want the privacy to eat in their own space.
With only 4 rooms, it always felt very peaceful and quiet, and plenty of space around the pool and on the rooftop for all guests - often we were the only people in the house during the day. The rooftop is a great spot for drinks and chilling.
The location was great - it felt far out from anyone and so was very peaceful and quiet, but only a 10 min drive into the local town, and 20 mins to get to Ostuni and the coast. James sent detailed instructions to find the house, but in the end we didn’t need them as google maps took us straight to the house with no issues.
James was a great host - we arrived late in the evening and he was very accommodating and stayed up to welcome us. He was always generous with recommendations, and was good to chat to without being an overbearing host.
All in all, we loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer! We would love to return and would recommend to anyone!
