I cannot rate the experience we've had renting Sergio's villa highly enough. This was a very special occasion for us as 8 of us got together to celebrate a very good friend's birthday and hadn't seen each other for nearly 15 years.

Sergio and Stefania are not only lovely people but they have done everything to make us as comfortable as one could be. Although we decided to turn down their gentle offer to do some shopping for us prior to our arrival (which I would recommend you do not turn down as there are no close by grocery stores and this would at least allow you to have some essentials for the first night if you want to stay in), we still received some amazing local delicacies.

It starts with Sergio's availability for all sorts of questions to his great planning with documents giving you fantastic recommendations of things to do and see within the region. The villa is well decorated in good taste and you can see that they have taken their time to look after the details. You even get hotel-like amenities in the bathrooms! They gave us a very warm welcome once we arrived and although they weren't there, they gave us the contact of one of the friends (Ketty), who was always more than readily available to assist us with whatever we needed (big or small).

Puglia is a great region in Italy which deserves to be better known. Polignano a Mare is a jewel of the Mediterranean and there are many other sights to be visited in the nearby region. Otherwise you can always sit down and relax on the terrace among the olive trees overlooking the sea or dip in for a swim in the infinity pool.

We all honestly hope to have the pleasure of coming back to the house sometime in the future! Sergio, Stefania, Ketty and the house made an already special event all the more unforgettable.

Thank you!
