From the moment we booked Cristina made us feel welcome and special. There was no request that was too much trouble, and Cristina was always flexible - our numbers changed and changed again due to illness and Cristina took it all in her stride. We asked to arrive early and not only did Cristina agree to this, but we received a really kind welcome from her and Alessandro when we got there. Having a lovely lunch and wine, water and soft drinks available to use meant we didn't have to rush to the supermarket on our first day and we enjoyed the walk to Arboris Belli, the local pizzeria, for our supper in the evening.
Cristina provided help checking prices for taxis and providing restaurant recommendations. She couldn't have been more helpful or considerate. She was generous with her time and with little gifts of local wine and biscuits, which added to our enjoyment and made the experience she offers quite different from other airbnbs we have stayed in.
Cristina has a beautiful home and it is very well presented - there is everything you need available to enjoy your stay. We walked into Alberobello which takes about 35 minutes and we took day trips to some of the nearby towns like Loccorotondo and Martina Franca and we also enjoyed a trip to Polignano a Mare. We ate home some evenings - using pasta, passata, spices and local cheeses all provided by Cristina or barbequiing - making the most of the evening sun and the lovely outdoor areas.
Our week flew by. Thanks Cristina and Alessandro. We will certainly recommend you to our friends who plan to travel to Puglia and hopefully we will be back one day.
