We can't give high enough praise to Antonio and his family for such a perfect stay at their country home. From the first welcome to the generous goodbye they were outstanding hosts.
The house is set in an idyllic location amongst olive groves and grape vines, it's a gated property so felt very secure and private. Apart from the occasional sounds of fabulous Grandpa Nino attending his beautiful orchard and the two cats pottering around you can relax in undisturbed silence.
The house was very clean and Antonio had thought of everything we needed. Its was the perfect size for the three of us, a cot and highchair were provided and the property felt safe for our 18month old to wonder around. Antonio was easy to contact and helped with anything we needed-even down to lending us a sun parasol for the beach (you can hire them there too).
The location is perfect if you want to explore the region. We visited several local beaches (Torre Lapillo was our favourite) and a few cities including Lecce, Ostuni, Alberobello, Otranto and Gallipoli. All were easy to get to (from 30mins-1hr15mins), easy parking and very child friendly. One piece of advice is that everything shuts down for the afternoon siesta so we found it best to visit places in the morning and then head to the beach or stay by the pool for the afternoon.
We would definitely recommend a visit to Antonio and Mira's house. A warm welcome will await you and there is plenty of beautiful Italian countryside, cities, beaches, food and wine to enjoy. A thoroughly relaxing holiday that exceeded our expectations in every way.
