Good things about the place: secure parking with the gate, Mr. Giorgio is always reachable if there is a problem, he is friendly and brought a lot of food which was exceptional, a big garden (we had figs and next guests may enjoy pomegranates!!), lots of free beach toys, umbrellas, chair, outside bbq area.
We had the bottom part of the house rented long term by Italian family with kids and a dog but they we very quite, polite and very friendly.
Not so good things: place definitely requires a new approach in cleaning, a few other guests already indicated that. Bathrooms had hair everywhere, rubbish bins there were not emptied, toilet paper in the toilet. It felt as if they were not cleaned at all. Same goes to the whole house, we had to wash our feet all the time after walking in the house. Beach is not 5 or 10 minutes away, it is exactly 18 minutes away by car and 2-10 minutes walking (depends where you’ve parked). Electricity is not included (first time we experienced this in 3 years) and it was indicated on the page so we expected that. Nevertheless an 82 EUR bill for 10 nights in the house where aircon was used during night only and has solar panels installed came as a bit of a shock, and bear in mind that 3 aircons cant work at the same time (it will blow the fuse).
Otherwise the reviews above are more or less accurate, a great veggie shop right across the road, a water kiosk 10 meters away (5c per litre of gold and purified water), Lecce is 40 min away and Bari is 2 hours away. A lot of supermarkets near by, within walking distance. Car is definitely required to stay in this house. Overall we had a great time, my suggestions are just to improve this house from a good one to a great one.
