We were mesmerised by Cicciarolla from the first moment we stepped inside the couryard.
The house was adorable, full of colour and lovely details. The garden was very well maintained and has given us so many places to walk around or sit and eat that I don't think we have had two identical days during our stay. At night, we could see the lights of Ostuni in the distance over the olive trees, while enjoying Prosecco on the upper terrace. The olive garden was wonderful for meditations and morning walks, and the bench under the olive tree was the perfect place to sit with a book.
Every corner looked charming and spotlessly clean. The hosts were very kind and friendly, showed us everything, even the ropes for fitness, and they gave us a lovely and warm welcome. They made sure we had everything we needed, including a beach umbrella and Prosecco for the evenings on the terrace. They encouraged us to use the lemons and basil from the garden for salads and provided us with oil pressed from their own olives. On our second day, they brought us cherries from their own garden and traditional cakes, and went out of their way to make sure we are comfortable, even helped us with a parking fine that we got in Monopoli on our third day.
The entire stay was memorable in all the best ways and absolutely magical. Grazie mille!
