We spent a magical and memorable week at Ugo and Maria’s (Matteo’s parents) home. Built using ancient stone, the house is spacious, airy and decorated with beautiful and fascinating antiques. Being on a lower level it offers a cool sanctuary from the Puglian heat - we slept like logs! The outside space is rustic and charming with a shaded terrace and BBQ with fruit and olive trees all around as well as an abundance of herbs. The property is within walking distance of Tricase town with its restaurants and bars, while Tricase Port is a 5 minute drive and is a great place to swim and feel as if you are one of the locals (there are little to no tourists!). But above all, the real stand out of this Airbnb is the hospitality of the hosts. They are incredibly warm, friendly (while at the same time discreet) and knowledgeable - they gave us some great trips. Ugo’s enthusiasm for nature and history is inspiring and this can be seen in the house he has built himself - a lot of love has gone into it. Thank you once again Ugo & Maria for making us feel at home - hopefully see you next year! Hannah & Adam x
