Lucia's home in Matino was really beautiful, tastefully decorated and incredibly clean. A great kitchen for cooking and entertaining.
Relatively easy to find - I would recommend a GPS to find it and a tiny car for the parking spot. We did not have access to wifi during our stay- apparently it is scheduled to be installed but if this is important to your trip I would check in advance to ensure it is up and running.
For a December visit it was a bit too cold, even though there were heaters... The bedroom is on the second floor, so you have to go outside to reach the bedroom - I imagine in the summer this is perfect but we did get stuck in the rain in our pajamas... For spring + summer months this place would be an absolute haven. I look forward to visiting Lucia's home again when the weather warms up!
Matino is a very charming town with several nice restaurants, I would recommend doing research on restaurants before visiting and take advantage of her gorgeous kitchen and Puglia's amazing produce. An easy town to base from to explore Southern Puglia.
Thank you Lucia!
