This is a magical place to stay, in beautiful historic grounds. The location is perfect for discovering Puglia; we travelled easily to Monopoli, Cisternino, Martina Franca, Polignano and Ostuni. (You’d need a hire car though). Would highly recommend hiring electric bikes (our 4 teenagers, the youngest of which was 11, loved them!) from Damiano (E-Bike Puglia) in Martina Franca and cycling beautiful routes along empty country lanes taking in local towns such as Alberobello. We went in October and had the beautiful beach in Monopoli all to ourselves, swam in the sea and played beach volleyball on the court set up there. (It was free out of season).
The house itself is spacious and classy and the pool is fantastic (huge). Michele was super-helpful and the communication was brilliant before and throughout our stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and to recommend it highly.
