Our lodgings at the Dialma Villa were architecturally outstanding! A human size home made of white stone with amazing views all around . The olive grove is serene and makes you feel like you're in a dream.
Kitchen had all the equipment you could possibly want. Showers were amazing and comfortable.
It is hard to get to (and you definitely need a car to get to it!) but Bianca met us near the house and took us there and explained how the house worked. We went through fields of poppies and olives trees. The location is amazing between two amazing towns (Cisternino and Ostuni) cherries were in season at 5 euros for 3 kilos!
While I would return here again, I do wish their bed linens and pillows were more upscale, that the kitchen had some welcome package that gave you the basic necessities even if you had to pay for it (salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, milk, cookies and maybe some local fruit). There was nothing in the kitchen. The house had a smell of humidity that went away when we ask the manager and she promptly instructed us to turn on the heating system on. Also a table for the full capacity of the villa should be available. We kept putting together tables to fit our group, it would have been nice to have a larger table inside.
However all of the above does not cloud the fact that we had an amazing vacation in this well kept villa, we played ping pong everyday, cooked the amazingly cheap produce you find in the nearby towns and we would be back in a heartbeat. Thank you Bianca!
