There are two kinds of Airbnb hosts. We know of both kinds because we have been using Airbnb since its inception. One kind where we become a part of the host family although we have our own apartment/house, etc. The other kinds are usually done by instant booking mechanism. They never become personal. It is all only business. Pierfrancesco is someone we simply fell in love with. The ancient farm house, beautifully restored and very tastefully decorated is a pearl you want to save in a very special place in your heart. The private courtyard gives you a glimpse of romantic orient. The location of his house is simply perfect for exploring all over Puglia. We are regretting our present stay in Ostuni very much because Ostuni is not an ideal location for exploring anything at all, excpet little, tiny Ostuni. Pierfrancisco is an Oxford educated lawyer who, like my husband would rather curl up with a real book in a corner of his house. So, the internet situation was not thought through:) However, he promised me cable internet soon so that we can come back and spend an extended time there. Did I mention his lovely mommy Asunta? She speaks no English but she can communicate with anyone with her heart. What an incredibly sweet and warm personality. His Papa is a reserved Italian gentleman. The entire family took care of us like we are indeed a family friend for a long time. Although the parents live in Francavilla Fontana proper and Pierfrancisco's house is on the outskirt (and hence even more ideally located), they visited us frequntly and asked about our well being. Honestly as I am writing this review I am missing my "home" in Francavilla Fontana. They are also very generous with supplies for breakfast, etc. Wine, Christmas cake, cookies, coffee, milk, bread, and anything else you may need, will be provided for. They are obviously not hosting for money and this is real Italian hospitality. Please do visit this magical place. We sure will in the very near future.
