Stunning house in a beautiful garden & neighbourhood. The house stays cool during warm days and we had a comfortable stay. Not shown on the pictures is a big 'portable' swimming pool (5-6m diameter) with filter which we enjoyed for a nice morning swim.

We only stayed 1 night, but the house felt like a holiday house where you could easily stay for a week or two. It's a 20 minute drive to the beach and near the beautiful town of Locorotondo.

There are some negatives, though. There is no (wireless) internet which was advertised. There are a lot of wood louses (armadillo bugs? not sure of the translation) in the house. They're completely harmless ofcourse and what we read on other AirBnB houses in the neighbourhood, they are a common problem. The entrance and kitchen have a low ceiling (~1.90m) and the boiler is pretty small (hot water runs out quickly). The host doesn't speak or understand english, so google translate was needed in communication.

For directions, the neighbourhood uses a very peculiar numbering system so entering the address in your GPS gets you nowhere. I would recommend asking the host for the GPS-coordinates to find the house!

Despite these small problems (more a lack of polish than disregard), the house was a comfortable stay and I would recommend it to others. The host seemed very welcoming and friendly, so I am sure the negatives will be fixed soon!
