Villa Magnolia is a lovely place to stay at. You get a big villa with a big garden, with just about everything you need. Danilo has thought about everything and nothing is missing! I stayed there with my adult daughter and we just wanted to relax and take it easy, explore the area and have a short sun and sea holiday.
We were welcomed and showed around by Danilo's family and they really went all the way to make sure we were going to be ok. We felt as if we were part of the family by the end of our stay when we said our goodbye...
The villa is located in a private, closed in residential area so it is very quiet and peaceful – it felt very safe. The sea is just a minute away with a stoney/cliffy beach and if you want sandy beaches, they are not far away, in other villages. We didn't have a car so we took buses and trains and that worked fine. I recommend the nearby village Giovinazzo (just a short bus ride away), the lovely place Polignano a Mare – a must see place which you can reach by train in 45 minutes. And Bari of course, with its lovely Old Town and a sandy beach as well. All these places have Old Town areas with picturesque alleys and fine restaurants.
In the garden of the villa, there are sunbeams and chairs, an outdoor shower and on the veranda you can sit and enjoy the quiet evening, have a dinner or watch TV. The kitchen has everything you will ever need for cooking. And a large fridge and freezer. And yes – a bottle opener and a cork screw for your wine!
There is also a good quality hairdryer in the bathroom, which might be good to know. no need to bring your own! The rooms (two double and one single) have lovely beds with lots of comfy pillows and there are plenty of towels. Everything is immaculately clean!
The windows have mosquito nets so you can leave them open in the night.
Danilo is also a good communicator and replies very quickly to your queries.
So – in short: I warmly recommend Villa Magnolia!
