Fuori Dal Mondo (literally means 'outside the world') lives up to its name - it is a peaceful haven in the beautiful Apulian countryside, a place where time literally slows to the same pace as the bumble bees that visit the lavender beds and the birds that sing in the trees. Our stay there as guests of Giancarlo and Antonella was truly memorable. The breakfasts are as wonderful as we had read - with Antonella's daily baking the crowning glory of a selection of great coffee and fresh orange juice, bread rolls, fruit, yoghurt, and delicious local butter. Our Blu suite was simply furnished but perfectly adequate for relaxing, and of course the pool is divine! But most importantly, the welcome of the hosts was truly special. The warmth and genuine interest of Giancarlo and Antonella lifted this experience from that of a typical AirBnB and they deserve every accolade for their care, which included booking dinner reservations and also an unforgettable cheese and wine tasting session. The location is also perfect for exploring Apulia and Giancarlo can recommend the best places to visit and eat. (The cuisine is the best I've tasted in Italy - and that is saying something!) I hope to return one day to Fuori dal Mondo but until then encourage other guests to share in its fabulousness.
