My family and I (two children ages 5 and 7) enjoyed our time at this house tremendously. The house is as described and is quite secluded off small dirt roads. It is a lovely mix of modern and rustic, very comfortable and extremely well equipped.

We really enjoyed the pool, which was a great size and very well maintained and equipped. The large kitchen windows open onto a patio where we had all of our meals looking out onto the picturesque landscape. The kitchen had all of the tools you could need and since we were there in the summer we also got to enjoy fresh herbs from the patio.

After finding the house (our GPS wasn't brilliant so we took one or two wrong turns) it was straightforward to get into the town of Cisternino, which is lovely and also has all the amenities you might need.

We were met by Domenico who is absolutely lovely and so helpful. (He doesn't speak much English so we used lots of gestures and my very, very rudimentary Italian but it was no problem). Francesca was also very helpful and always accessible.

We had a fantastic time and would go back.
