If you like exploring a little off the beaten track then you will like Villa Giulia, set in a pretty garden, everything is beautifully cared for. There's a/c, wifi, a little fridge in the room and a beautiful pool to enjoy. Giulia is a fantastic cook and we enjoyed all the different Puglian specialities she made, and Francesco has good wine too. Francesco and Giulia are very kind and very good hosts - just the right balance of friendliness and discretion. We also enjoyed biking round the little local roads through the olive groves and seeing the trulli and beautiful stone walls. There's lots to see and it is good to have a car to explore. Castellana Grotte is an interesting working town, good gelati at Bar Vogue in the main piazza and narrow streets to wander through. Matera is well worth the drive, as is Ostuni.
