We stayed at Walter and Giovy's villa for 5 days and we enjoyed it thoroughly.
The house is really beautiful and the outside space perfect for sunbathing, eating, and relaxing. It is the ideal location for somebody looking for peace and quiet. The supermarket is not too far. We rented a car so that we could drive around and discover some of the beautiful beaches (5 to 10 miles way, so a short drive) but I guess one could manage without one if willing to walk a bit and stay at the Otranto beach.
We would definitely recommend it.
