First let me say that the house is beautiful, clean, and in a very centrally located to all the sights in the area.
Ostuni-5 min, Alberobello-20min, Lecce-1 hour,Matera-1.5 hours.

Now the negative- The check-inn process took 1.5 hours! She was 30 minutes late to our meet up point even though I messaged her twice about our arrival time. Once we got to the house, it took over an hour to explain the rules of the house. She also did not offer a welcome gift or maps/tourist brochures for the area, and the restaurant she recommended was closed.
The check out process was equally bad. She came 45 minutes later than the time I asked to to meet, 15 minutes later than she said she would come. We had an 8 hour drive ahead of us- so this was an inconvenience.
One last issue was that the gas heaters did not work. This was not a big deal for most of our trip, but we were cold the first night.
I think that this could be a great place to stay if the host would fix these very fixable issues.
