This villa is an amazing place. My husband and I were in the area to attend our niece's wedding in Puglia. Rather than stay at one of the 3 wedding hotels, we opted to come to La Mignola and we were very glad that we did. The sitting area by the pool is just heavenly and it was fun to come back at night and use the remote to change the colour of the underwater pool lights. The sparkling lights in the nearby olive trees were gorgeous. We used the outdoor shower many times.
When we checked in, Lucy was very friendly and we were given fresh zucchinis, eggplants and cucumbers from their farm. We were also given a small container of their olive oil which is delicious. Lucy's mother, Bea, very kindly ironed my dresses that had gotten creased in my suitcase as well as my husband's shirt. There is an iron in the villa but Lucy offered this service which we really appreciated!
We did a boat tour in Polignano a Mare, had dinners out in Monopoli, Savelletri, a rehearsal dinner at the Mare Mosso Beach Club in Torre Canne and attended the wedding at Masseria San Giovanni Hotel in Fasano. La Mignola villa was the perfect jumping-off place for all of these events. We also visited the Roman Ruins of Egnazia and visited the town of Martina Franca.
The villa is a 5-star place - great kitchen, very comfortable bed, towels and linens and jacuzzi tub for two in the bedroom. When we had gone through the espresso in the kitchen, Lucy's brother, Cossimo, brought over more minutes after I sent a message to Lucy.
Lucy said that we were the first Canadians to come and stay. I really recommend this lovely property!
