The villa is beautiful. If anything, better than it looks in the pics. The rooms are very spacious and the outside area and swimming pool are spectacular. The kitchen is a little small, as everyone else has commented, but it really doesn’t matter as there is an outside kitchen, a BBQ and a pizza oven outside. We had a wonderful time there. The local town, Castellana, has all the shops we needed, and a Lidl was only 15 minutes away in the next town. Going down to the sea at Polignano Al Mare and Monopoli took about 30 minutes by car. You certainly need a car there as Castellana, the nearest town is probably 15 minutes away, although we found a pizza restaurant within 10 minutes who did carry out and the excellent pizzas were surprisingly cheap. Indeed all the places we visited, with the possible exception of Polignano, were extremely cheap for Italy Both drinks and restaurants
The owner, Filomena, was amazingly helpful. She came to Bari at the beginning of our stay to lead us to the villa, arranged taxis for some of our guests who left early and even took our last remaining guest to the airport atth3 end of our two week stay. A couple of, very minor, problems with the villa were sorted immediately
I would highly recommend the area, the villa and the helpful owner
