My wife and I absolutely loved this private little house set amongst the olive trees. There were two dogs on the property, one older, one very young (puppy), and both were super friendly. A shepherd brought his sheep by one day and we had a quick chat. We felt very welcome and despite not knowing any Italian, we made it work with our hosts. They were super friendly. I recommend brushing up on some basic Italian, we should have done this but ran out of time before taking our trip.
