Domenico‘s flat just as described with a really spacious terrace. We felt very much at home there, even during a bad weather period. It is important to know, however, that you need to drive a few minutes for everything. The access is via a steep spiral staircase, a bit difficult for us as older people.
Corato is a good place for seaside trips and Castel del Monte, and Bari or Matera aren‘t far, either.
Domenico and his wife were very welcoming and extremely helpful, not only when I needed a dentist.
