Oh, to extend our time here, instantly seductive, we could have spent our whole three weeks here. An exquisite and beautifully considered set up, enabling seamless cooking, dining, swimming - repeat - under moonshine or sunshine. Inspiringly provisioned to tap into local providores, with a kitted out kitchen and multiple dining areas, according to mood and light.
Of all our touring of the area, gorgeous as everywhere is, this is the pick of locations, close enough to Ostuni to duck in for coffee, wanders, etc, but secluded enough to enjoy the olive-studded landscape, which Villa Agave captures sublimely. Close to exquisite beaches and coast (try Santa Sabina, early evening, and of course, drive to Monopoli/Polignano a Mare), too, as well enchanting surrounding towns, Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino, Locorotondo, to divide the days between.
Elodie and Giovanni were warm and attentive hosts, and welcomed us with wonderful Primitivo and Rosato, which set the scene. An outstanding and rare experience.
