This was a great find!
It is clear that a lot of effort has been put into making this AirBnB a wonderfully relaxing place to have a holiday and you will be hard pressed to find a better place in Italy to relax, enjoy the sun and chill out.
We stayed at Kathleen's place for 10 days in September. Directions to the house from the airport were clear and very helpful which made the car journey very easy. We were warmly welcomed and Kathleen showed us the facilities in the apartment and explained how equipment worked.
The apartment is completely separate from the house and has it's own drive and secure, electronic, entrance gate. The pool is private, not overlooked, with an excellent range of pool side furniture and swimming toys/aids. The pool area is gated for the safety of small children staying at the apartment, but the fencing is unobtrusive and well obscured by garden plants. There is also a lovely sitting area outside the apartment to relax in or enjoy your evening meal and a second dinning table and chairs, under a gazebo, poolside.
The apartment is very comfortable with high quality furniture, a well laid out kitchen, a comprehensive range of kitchen equipment and a well appointed bathroom. The bed is very comfortable and quality linen and bath towels are supplied. We had a welcome pack of groceries and wine which was very thoughtful.
There is an extensive library of DVD's and books, some CD's and a sound system which you can connect to your iPhone to play your own music.
Kathleen is very friendly and approachable and has a wealth of knowledge about the area. She will happily point you in the right direction for the best places to eat, where to buy groceries, the best Lido's and interesting places to visit etc. This made our stay even better because if we were unsure of anything, we just asked for help..
The village has excellent restaurants and a few shops but, unusually, no ATM. If you plan to use cash you'll need to stop at the previous town, Fasano, and pick some up there, however all the local businesses accept cards.
