We stayed at Villa Mimosa from 3-10 June 2012, and had a wonderful time - one of our best holidays ever. The villa is extremely comfortable and well equipped with everything you could wish for, from plentiful kitchen equipment to books, DVDs and an ipod dock - it feels like a real home from home. Everything was beautifully clean and well maintained, and the owners had provided us with detailed information about everything we needed to know. The gardener/caretaker Vincenzo came every day to check that all was well, and to maintain the pool and gardens. The pool is perfect - large and deep, with a diving board and lovely stone edges. The villa is in an extremely peaceful location, surrounded by olive trees - perfect for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The gardens are lush and beautifully maintained. We were able to sit by the pool and watch butterflies, swallows or bats, depending on the time of day. There is plenty of space to sit in the sunshine, or in the shade of the lovely covered terrace, whichever you prefer. This was our first visit to Puglia, and there was more to see within easy driving distance than we could manage in a week - the beaches we went to were clean and undeveloped, backed only by sand dunes (although there are plenty of beach clubs if you prefer sunloungers and beach bars), and the local towns are magical, with an endless choice of restaurants, cafes and ice-cream shops. I heartily recommend Villa Mimosa, and look forward to returning to Puglia in the future.
