We stayed at Angelo and Anna's beautiful Lamia for a week at the beginning of June. It was better than we could have expected and the perfect base for our holiday.

The Lamia is clean, spacious and furnished nicely, with lots of extra touches to make it feel homey. Angelo and Anna had also thoughtfully provided some water, fresh fruit and some basics like coffee and pasta, which was a great help. We enjoyed staying in some evenings to cook and eat outside.

The setting is idyllic! It feels very private and there are beautiful views over the countryside. The patio and pool get the sun for the whole day, meaning it was warm enough to swim at 6pm and there is also a great view of the sunset every evening. We wished we had more time to just enjoy by the pool.

We didn't have any trouble finding the place, thanks to a little help from the GPS. Ostuni is a short drive away and we were able to go there by taxi in the evening - Angelo helped us with booking. It is walk-able (about 40 minutes) on warm evenings but not in the dark. I would recommend bringing a car and there is plenty of parking.

Finally, Angelo and Anna were brilliant hosts. Angelo was very helpful from when we first emailed him to the end of our stay. He recommended places to visit, restaurants, arranged a taxis and was quick to answer any query. He and Anna even invited us to join them for a BBQ and drinks on out last night, which we really enjoyed.

I would highly recommend staying here and I hope we will get to go back one day.
