We spent a wonderful three days at the Villa by the Sea. It was just perfect. The house is newly renovated, neat and tidy and is supplied with anything you need in the kitchen. The house is situated in a lovely area in Mattinata surrounded by olive groves and really is only a short walk away from the sea! And it is a beautiful little beach to swim in and relax . I am only sad that we didn't get to meet Eleonora as she has been so helpful and caring towards us. She was away in Rome when we were there. But the lovely Angelo met us and looked after us while we were there. He even took us for a short tour of the town and pointed out good shops and restaurants in the area. I highly recommend this place.
