We spent over a week at Lamia Bianca as a couple at the end of August and we absolutely loved it. The house is conveniently located on the outskirts of Cisternino, but secluded in the midst of olive and pine trees. You can enjoy quietness and silence at all times. The house has a patio overlooking the countryside where we had our breakfast and where I could do my morning yoga routine (a real plus for me!). The house itself shows to have been recently renovated, while preserving its original structure, including thick walls and small windows to keep it cool during the summer. There is no air conditioning in the house, but this is not needed as there is always a perfect temperature inside. Also, the house is more than spacious for two people and it is simply but nicely and functionally decorated. We found the house super clean upon our arrival and equipped with all the basic things we needed during our stay. A bottle of water was left for us in the fridge, along with a box of typical Apulian biscuits (taralli). Both very much appreciated after a long trip! We did not meet Mimma in person, however she gave us very accurate instructions on how to get to the house and very good tips on where to go in Cisternino (including where to eat, do our groceries etc) and she has been in touch with us throughout our stay to ensure all was going well. We met Marianna, who helps with the house locally and who has always been available for anything we may need. We are very grateful to Mimma for giving us have the opportunity to stay at her wonderful house. We definitely recommend the experience!
