Mercedes’ place is absolutely beautiful and very large, so there’s always somewhere nice to sit and watch the world go by. Mercedes was very kind and helpful, as were her staff. The breakfast was fantastic and the evening meal we had there was also delicious. Our only complaint was there were a few surprise costs, which were quite expensive. We were offered an aperatif before dinner, which we assumed was included in the price, but actually cost 8 Euro each - expensive for London, let along Puglia! We also had some laundry done, which turned out to cost 30 euro. Again, rather expensive, and it would have been nice to know in advance. Otherwise, no complaints, it was a stunning place, everyone went out of their way to help us, and it has some good beaches nearby.
