What a fabulous, tranquil spot , with a warm welcome from hosts Mimmo & Erminia (even at 11pm, with warm focaccia!)
Originally, we had wanted a place by the sea... but when we saw 'Boschetto' we were enchanted - and it lived up to expectation. Great for our two boys (10 & 3yrs) with a lovely, enclosed outdoor space, with swings, slides, hammocks & rocks to find insects & lizards under! Of course, there are also the goats, piglets, donkey, horse, cats & chickens to see, stroke & feed!
A minor point - but the photos are of the two properties (adjacent); one is the single-bedroomed 'Trullo' & the other the two-bedroomed place we were in, so initially we thought it smaller than expected, but this was fine. It is simple, yet has everything needed, super-clean and was a great base from which to explore the springtime (early April) attractions - a couple of sunny, beach days then to Alberobello & Trulli, Old towns for pizza & gelato and the Zoo-Safari was also surprisingly good (v quiet, as out of season - probably v busy in summer!)
We had fresh eggs from the chickens, fresh fennel from the garden and Erminia brought us home made focaccia & cake. Local shops are a short drive at Locorotondo.
We will definitely be returning ! Grazie Mimmo e Erminia - abbiamo passato una settimana molto tranquilla e rilassante.. ci ritorneremo !
