We spent 5 days at Antonio’s villa in July 2022. The villa is located about a mile outside Guagnano and is surrounded surrounded by vineyards. The villa itself is wonderful and is surrounded by a beautiful secluded garden. We were met by our wonderful hosts, Antonio and Mira even though we arrived very late. They showed us the way to the property and gave us a tour and explained where everything was. They had also brought us some snacks as we hadn’t eaten, which was a lovely touch! The house was also very well stocked with stored cupboard essentials and extra bathroom toiletries.
The inside of the property was beautifully furnished, with two good sized bedrooms, a nice bathroom and good space to relax. Outside, there were many more places to sit, place to eat or just chill in the sun/shade – it was very relaxing!
The pool was a nice touch and even though it was on the smaller side it was a lovely way to cool off during the heat of the day.
There was also a fruit and vegetable patch, lovingly worked by Antonio’s father, which we were encouraged to take from if we needed. The tomatoes were amazing!!
Antonio gave some very good recommendations for food in the local town. There was a particularly lovely deli where we could eat in or take away but also supermarkets, a bakery and butchers. As there was plenty of cooking equipment at the villa, including BBQ, oven and coffee machine, we took the opportunity to eat in a few times.
The nearest (and very beautiful) beach was about half an hour’s drive away and most points of interest are reached within an hour. We found it a good central location for exploring Puglia.
We very much enjoyed our lovely, relaxing stay here and would thoroughly recommended it.
