We had a wonderful time at Rafaella's place in the countryside. It is not far from Peschici but also nicely remote for a very peaceful stay (you need a car) with lovely views from the huge terrace.
The house is really well equipped and traditionally decorated which feels very authentic. Rafaella also welcomed us with all sorts of food treats including a delicious home made plum tart.
Chop the dog is delightful and very very happy to see you! But also isn't noisy at night like some other dogs you could hear in the distance so we slept very well.
There are lots of lovely things to do nearby like visiting Peschici and Vieste old towns, taking boat trips, walking in Foresta Umbra etc.
Really recommend
