We enjoyed our stay here, and it was an excellent location to explore the surrounding area and towns.
We travelled in a small group; the house was a perfect size for us and offered a great balance of indoor and outdoor space. The kitchen area was an excellent size and very comfortable to prepare meals in. There is both a large indoor and outdoor dining table as well as an exterior bbq and sink. I’ve stayed in many self catering houses over the years and some have kitchens that only really function for making simple meals and salads. This is a well equipped kitchen with a large hob and a dishwasher.
I particularly loved the stone vaulted ceilings that makes all the spaces feel bigger. The house felt contemporary and light, with simple and attractive furnishings. Excellent wifi and air con - this would be a great place to work from remotely for a few months.
The pool was large for a house of this size and really lovely. Such a peaceful and tranquil location with lots of garden space around.
The nearest town is San Vito dei Normanni and although it’s not as picture perfect as places like Martina Franca or Ostuni it’s worth a visit. There are some good restaurants there, the main square is very lively in the evenings and it feels very local and authentic. The locals were also very helpful when trying to find things.
Overall I would say there was everything we needed for a comfortable and pleasant stay, and any very minor negatives are far outweighed by the positives. The owner, Serge, was very helpful and responsive to messages.
Highly recommended, you couldn’t really ask for more and we hope to return one day.
