Casa Ulmi was an idyllic location for our eight-day getaway from London, and a great base for exploring the Puglia region. The town of Uggiano la Chiesa was home to many hidden gems and the nearby Porto Badisco offered a quaint beach with lots of local eateries. Therese’s hospitality was wonderful – we had freshly grown figs and produce awaiting on our arrival, as well as localy made olive oil at our disposal. The apartment was just as described on Airbnb and accommodated the three of us very comfortably. The pool and outdoor area was by far the highlight of our stay, as well as the barbecue are, which we enjoyed with other guests on numerous occasions. Therese was friendly and inviting, despite the language barrier, and even invited us along to a barbecue with her friends and family one night. We would highly recommend Casa Ulmi to any travelling to Puglia in search of a relaxing and authentic Italian break.
