Imagine the luxury & service of a hotel, the space & amenities of a home, and the warmth & welcomingness of a homestay - this is Dimora Casanoja.
We stayed at their new house just up the road from the main house. The grounds are absolutely stunning; the house (designed by their daughter, who's an architect) is beautifully designed, with impeccable taste in furniture, and a very well stocked kitchen. It's set amidst beautiful olive groves and there's a gorgeous pool. Beds are comfortable and towels are hotel-soft. You are left a huge basket of goodies (pasta, bread, oil, fruit etc) and every other day or so, freshly baked goods arrive.
The location was perfect for us - in tranquil countryside, but an easy 25 minute walk to lovely Noci.
Carmine & Clara are wonderful hosts - nothing is too much trouble for them, from local recommendations to giving us a lift into town when we were running late! We really felt like part of the family, and can't wait to return.
