Our family of 4 (daughters age 4 and 2) stayed at Marias place for a week in October and it has been very nice. Although the living room/kitchen is pretty small for 4 it didn't bother since the wheather was lovely and our daughters enjoyed playing between the olive trees. The house is nicely situated to explore the area but a car is an absolute necessity. Maria is just lovely; warm, friendly, helpful and willing to go the extra mile. We had issues with renting a car and Maria picked us up and brought us back from and to Bari airport and helped us out renting a car from a local agency.
