This was a great villa.
We were comfortable, relaxed, in its no fuss and yet tastefully designed interior and outdoor areas.
Generous in size; inviting pool; state of the art kitchen utensils (the juicer and espresso maker well used); inspiring locally made crockery (Nicola Fasano); they even allowed us the use of the garden herbs and fruit (fiorone fig tree growing wild just outside gave birth to multiple harvests).
The bed was supremely comfortable and we slept so well in the shuttered darkness.
My family got quite hooked on the Pétanque lawn (and competitive too......)
The outdoor pizza oven was so much fun- it became the centre of a delightful social when tens of pizzas were conjured out by our lovely pizza husband and wife teacher duo.
We also enjoyed Ostuni nearby, Grotaglie’s ceramiche shops, Cisternino, Ceglie Messapica and the lovely La Dolce Vita beach club.
Ostuni market was a genuine (so cheap!) and fabulous bazaar.
The slow food restaurants including Masseria Salinola around the region delicious.
All in all an amazing villa and lovely break.
The grounds were wonderfully kept by Rolando- thank you.
Thank you Angela our concierge in particular for helping us almost as soon as we reached villa Margareta and throughout the holiday.
And Massimo for his early rapid and friendly responses
Thank you.
