We were six adults in search for a perfect vacation in Puglia. We found it during our 2-week stay in Mariachiara’s villa Dina. Mariachiara was very prompt with her responses to our request for reservation and subsequent questions. The villa and its grounds are very accurately depicted in the gorgeous photos accompanying the AIRBNB ad. Everything was as advertised – comfortable and beautiful house, well equipped kitchen for those wanting to prepare their meals at home, very nicely groomed outside grounds, warm pool, perfectly working Wi-Fi and air-conditioning.
Special thanks should be showered on Francesco, designated by Mariachiara as our liaison. Francesco was extremely helpful with his suggestions of nearby places to see, beaches and parks to visit, and restaurants to try, but his intervention with Fedex/Ministry of Health, in delivering to the villa a package with medications, one of us had forgotten at home, was definitely beyond anything one could expect from a host and truly saved our vacation. (Word of advice: any medication sent to Italy, or to any country of the EU for that matter, has to be accompanied with its prescription).
We will remember our stay in Puglia and our hosts very fondly and will recommend them to anybody willing to listen.
