Overall we enjoyed our stay. Vito is an extremely attentive host, and very accommodating. He made sure we had all the information we needed when we arrived and addressed the few issues we ran into without hesitation. The villa is is tucked into a quiet area surrounded by beautiful olive and cherry trees . We were there at the end of April while everything was blooming, which made for a stunning landscape. The closest town is about 15-20 min away, so you'll need a car, however you'll still be in a good spot for a home base. We were able to easily make several day trips to areas such as Alberobello, Ostuni, Locorotondo, and Cisterino. It was a bit too chilly to spend much time at the many beautiful beaches, but the closest one is around 20 min away. The villa itself was very clean and had everything you would need. Fully stocked and functional kitchen, and nice bathrooms and showers with long lasting hot water. With that said, we didn't feel very cozy during the times we stayed in. Opportunity for improvement - The villa lacks sufficient comfortable areas to lounge and relax on days you might not venture out much. There is only a single two person couch and small wood bench on a wall, which is not enough for a house that can sleep 12. We were only four people, and it proved inconvenient. The other options are two dinner tables with chairs. Understanding that we were only four people, we would have still appreciated the option to choose our bedrooms, however we were only given the option to stay on the ground floor. The villa is advertised as having beautiful views, which is something we were looking for and did not get. Our only option was for rooms without windows at all. Additionally, the beds were essentially cots surrounded by a bed frame consisting of a firm mattress and flat dense pillows (all linen provided). Comfort is essential when on holiday, so the is a big negative for us. Improvements in these areas alone would increase the value of this villa considerably.
