We had an extremely nice stay in Defensola and enjoyed the many nice beaches around, the towns and the landscape there for the first time. Lucia always responded quickly, and she arranged an easy to find meeting point to giude us to the place. The chalet is very nice and lies in a wonderfuly garden surrounded by figue and olive trees. Neighbours are several 100 meters away, and it's very quiet. In close walking distance is a very good bakery and a supermarket. We never had problems with our golden retriever dog at the beach, and we often went to spiaggia Molinella, where you can also see a Trabucco (old coast fishing platform) in action. We can recommend Lucia's place to everybody who wants to expreience the Gargano region.
