The house was perfect for us, our 3 year old son and our friends. It is big enough for three couples/small families and convenient with two bathrooms. The architecture of the house feels really genuine to the surroundings and the big garden is beautiful with all different kinds of flowers, and very good taken care of. An oasis in the middle of all the fields of vine and olive trees. Very nice with the four lemon trees full of juicy lemons at the entrance. The swimming pool was good fun for both young and old with it's two different depths. We used the outdoor kitchen, with both barbecue and pizza oven, almost every day.
We spent the most of our two weeks holiday at the house, mostly by the pool. We went to the small town Manduria a couple of kilometers away, for our daily shopping and a couple of times for dining. Our last evening we ate at Masseria Potenti, just two kilometers away, which was very good, highly recommended.
Maria and Francesco stayed nearby and took care of the pool and the garden in a discreet way, we hardly noticed they were there. They were helpful and offered us, among other things, tips of restaurants and beaches.
We highly recommend this house and hosts!
