This is a true gem of a place. The area is wonderful, Puglia has a lot to offer to the discerning tourist. The place is exquisite. The garden, the swimming pool, the setting. You are surrounded by a wonderful garden, all in a secluded and quiet place. Italo is extremely responsive and makes sure that the guests are properly looked after. Everything is there to make the visitors comfortable and we loved the attention to details. The house is close to Mersagne which has history, good food and beautiful, typical cobbled streets in the historical centre. And while we were there it also hosted a beautiful Picasso exhibition in the castle. I've travelled a lot and stayed in all sorts of places and few times I could recommend so wholeheartedly a place.
