Sara and Vittorio were incredible hosts that were readily accessible throughout the booking process and while staying at their luxury villa. They were exceptionally attentive and welcoming, providing some wonderful 'local' suggestions (restaurants, towns to visit, in-house chef etc.) for our week-long vacation to the area.
Our group of 4 well-groomed travelers found the Tenuta Traghetto was perfectly located. It is near Ostuni, (with a wonderful pedestrian area and many good restaurants), with close proximity to the delightful old towns in Valle d'Itra area (Aleberobello should not be missed) and to the Salento plain (Brindisi to Lecce and onward). There are so many highlights that it is difficult to cover them all here.
One standout was Puglia Kitchen (Chef Domenico) that prepared an outstanding in-villa, locally representative, 8 course meal that turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit to the villa and Puglia.
The villa is lovely, with four ensuite bedrooms, and ample room to relax. The property was beautifully manicured with a lovely pool which is professionally landscaped with complimentary night lighting.
You will definitely need a car as it is a 40-minute drive to Brindisi Airport and 5-minute drive to Ostuni's old-town area. While the villa is situated beside a moderately busy road, we did not find that the traffic noise interfered with any of our activities or relaxation.
If you plan to visit Puglia we would highly recommend "Tenuta Traghetto" as a wonderful base to enjoy all that the area has to offer!!
