Mariella's place was better than we could have imagined. It was so peaceful and quiet amongst their lovely garden, spotlessly clean and the room had everything you could ever need including Lele the dog who frequently visited for cuddles. Mariella and Sergio were so kind and although they spoke very little English and we speak very little Italian communication was made easy with lots of hand gestures, smiles and google translate! Eating the lovely breakfast they provided on the terrace was one of our favourite parts of the day. It is an easy drive to the spectacular beaches on the Puglian coast and we enjoyed a lovely dinner at local restaurant Gustavo, as well as a delicious picnic dinner of local specialities from a nearby supermarket on the terrace (we loved that terrace). We were so sad to leave! Grazie Mariella!
