Anna was a most attentive and hospitable host. She went out of her way to welcome us (including arriving with an English-speaking friend to translate at check-in). There was a basket overflowing with local items (much appreciated as we arrived during the Easter holiday when stores were closed), and she graciously shared her intel on local points of interest.
The house itself is spectacular — well-appointed and tastefully decorated to allow the unique architecture to shine. Our group (4 adults; 3 children) settled in comfortably, and the hydrotherapy pool (not a hut tub, more of a warm tub) was a hit with the kids.
It's well situated for day trips to nearby towns. Highly recommend booking a boat cave tour in Polignano a Mare on a sunny day. Walk up the hill for a morning coffee at the San Marco Cafe, head to Locorotondo for dinner at Goodo Ristorante and lunch at Controra.
