We have just had a fantastic time at this villa. We have stayed at quite a few over the years and a few in Puglia but this has outshone them all. Everything about the pictures and description are totally accurate. It is so spacious and clean and has just everything you need. The outdoor verandah is great for being outside yet out of the sun. The upstairs balcony was a real bonus, to be able to sit out there in the sun or shade was great. There were 7 of us including a child and there was plenty of space for us all to do our own thing if we wanted to. The pool was brilliant - there aren't that many villas with pools by the sea in this area (except all of Richard and Noirins of course) and for us it was a real must have. The village is a typical Italian holiday village and as mentioned, there are plenty of places to eat from beachside snack bars to proper full on Italian restaurants with immense numbers of courses! Il Botteghino was our favourite...anti pasti just kept coming...and through Richard and Noirin they arranged a birthday cake for one of our party. A lovely Italian family and superb food. A great bakery, butchers, fishmonger and supermarket...you really do not need to drive anywhere once you get there, it is all there within a few hundred yards. The food and drink were extremely good value too. Benny's Bar was a good place to rent sun loungers and parasols and the beach was well looked after. As far as the hosts, Richard and Noirin could not do more! They put a huge amount of effort into making sure your holiday is spot on. We emailed them many times beforehand with questions and they always responded by return. When we were there we contacted them a few times, once needing a pharmacy (which was brilliant) and again, they got back to us straight away and never made us feel like we were being a nuisance although we're sure we were! The really do go the extra mile for their guests and deserve continued success. The extra touches, toilet rolls, washing up liquid, dishwasher capsules, oilive oil, a great welcome basket, all saved so much time and really added to the comfort. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked one of their other villas for next year - a smaller one as there will be fewer in our party but also with a stunning pool and just a stones throw from this one. We can't wait!
