Carmen is a lovely host. She came to pick us up when we arrived by train. The apartment is located in a beautiful area in the middle of Ostuni, very near to the old town. It is a very old building and a very authentic apartment, decorated in a rustic and charming style, equipped with everything you need. Due to its thick walls it is cool inside and you won't sweat in the very hot italian summer, but you have to dry towels and laundry outside. Many fresh towels are provided, as well as a washing mashine, clothing rack, soap and bed linens. Everything was very clean, and Carmen left us water and ice tea in the fridge. Wandering around in Ostuni requires a lot of up and down walking and stairs, so bring some good deodorant with you ;-) There is a bus station very near from where you can get to the station and to Villanova at the sea, but keep in mind busses don't go every 10 minutes. There are so many beautiful cities in Puglia, and many beaches with crystal clear water. It is much easier by car, but as long as you're able to walk and take the train (which is very cheap!) you have so many options to enjoy the beautiful Puglia are.
Carmen cares so much about her guests, she will answer all questions and she is always there for you. It was a pleasure and we thank her very much!
