We had a great stay, as family of five, mid August to early September three weeks. The host was very accessible and friendly. The accommodation is beautiful with very nice houses, pool, and garden, as expected from the pictures and up front information. Climate conditioning was helpful for the first two weeks. Our kids (6,9,11) really enjoyed the pool. There is a tennis court that is not big enough for tennis but can be used for (kids) soccer or ball games. The next beaches are beautiful approx. 30-40 minutes away. Most beaches very busy until end August, then it gets much quieter. The immediate surrounding is typical with mainly olive plantations. We did not like the towns in immediate surrounding (Casarano, Ruffano), but if you are looking for a very nice, relaxed place place with pool and want to try different types of beaches the place is great.
