This villa was the highlight of our stay in Puglia. A beautiful drive winds out of town and up through olive groves and you'll really feel far from the world as you crest the hill to look out over the coast.
With beautiful gardens to wander nearby and an incredible outdoor area to eat, drink and relax, we found it hard to leave, even for our day trips.
We ate at lots of incredible places nearby but our favourite meals were the ones we cooked together using the delicious local produce, including figs and pomegranates we picked from the garden. We even fired up the wood oven to cook fish and focaccia.
Overall a wonderful place to spend time together as a group. You'll definitely need a car, which is recommended to explore the coastline anyway.
The hosts were very helpful and attentive, we had one small problem with a broken air conditioner, and they sent someone to fix it right away.
I'd love to be back there right now.
