I had been looking forward to staying at Daniele's place for ages as it looked amazing from the photos but it exceeded all my expectations when I woke up in the morning (we arrived in the early hours when it was dark) and began to look around.
The main house and apartments are absolutely beautiful and a huge amount of thought has been given to their presentation.
The pool is a combination of a big hot tub/jaccuzi and resistence swimming pool and my kids (2 and 5) absolutely loved it - they would have stayed in it all week given half the chance. The playground was equally a huge hit.
The Villa is located a five minute drive from Martina Franca which has a brilliant supermarket and bakery right opposite and an enormous number of restuarants. Be careful of the summer siesta though as the restaurants all shut between 3pm and 7pm so if you have young kids you would be better off eating out at lunchtime.
I have travelled reasonably widely but have never seen beaches like the ones in Lido Morelli which is half an hour's drive from the Villa - a gently sloping beach with sunbeds, umbrellas and even beach towels to hire so you have everything you need.
In summary, it was the best holiday we have ever had and I simply cannot wait to go back next summer!
