Lovely villa just on the outskirts of Carovigno. When you first arrive you are immediately blown away by the amount of work that has gone into making this feel like a little oasis in the Puglia countryside.
The landscaping in the garden, both front and back, feels quite chic and modernist - and the white stone facade of the villa is clean and sharpe. The house glows under the heat of the Puglia sun.
It feels very private and all you can hear are the sounds of crickets at night.
There is a big stone table on the terrace that can comfortably sit up to 8 people and is a great place to enjoy a group dinner or a glass of wine at night.
The inside area of the villa is modern, clean and very comfortable. If you are two couples, you couldn't really ask for more. We barely used the inside space because the weather is so great you just want to be sat by the pool or under the terrace, with your stress levels melting away with each passing hour.
The villa is a perfect size for two couples, any more and they will have to sleep on sofa bed in the living room, with bathroom access only via the en-suites.
I have to say... the pool area an is absolute delight. Just when you need to cool down - it's right there. The temperature always seeming perfect at the moment at which it is needed most. I also recommend a bit of star gazing at the end of the evening.
Although we were not able to meet our host Aurore, she was always available via Whatsapp and was very accommodating when we had questions. She gave us a great recommendation for a taxi service on the evenings where we didn't want to drive and was swift at responding. She was also very quick to act when we had a last minute request for a cot for a baby (long story).
Her neighbour Patrick also helps with check-in and lives in a villa not too far if you are in desperate need of help.
Overall - really can't complain. Happy days.
