Although the little house is truly little — don’t try to move around in the shower too much — Manuela’s warmth, laughs and care more than make up for it. We had a gruesome trip including lost luggage; Manuela brought us delicious comfort food when we finally arrived at 1AM. She made sure we could go on day trips while our luggage would be delivered. We had breakfast in the sun, cooked dinner, lingered on the grounds and visited beautiful Polignano a Mare. The garden, courtyard, chicken pen and every other nook and cranny provided a truly adventurous playground for our toddler while Julia, the 9 year old slow poke cane corso watched from a trusted spot in the shade. We had a wonderful time.
