A lovely place to stay with a super, welcoming host

We had an excellent 8-night stay in Villa degli Ulivi, very comfortable & well equipped and in a lovely situation, surrounded by olive & fruit trees, with a view to the sea. We were welcomed on arrival by Franco, who was very helpful when we had a minor issue - as was Marta's cousin Cintya, who speaks excellent English. The property had everything we could need, & we were greeted with a super 'welcome pack' - thank you, Marta, for such thoughtfulness. Puglia's local produce is excellent - and we made the most of local markets. Rodi Garganico & San Menaio, just a couple of kilometres away, are good for bars, restaurants & shops. The house is one of 2 or 3 on the property of Villa Giuseppina, but was completely private. It's a steep approach from the coast road, but easily found using Google maps (and less daunting after the 1st time driving up!) It was a great place both to relax and to explore the Gargano peninsula. The drives through the forests and along the coast, especially across to Monte Sant Angelo and towards Vieste (via the necropolis di Monte Pucci near Peschici), were well worth doing, especially if the weather is mixed (we had a couple of storms). One note of caution - if, like me, you react badly to insect bites, do bring your usual remedies! All windows are screened, but the mosquitos seemed fierce (though my partner was fine!)

Very relaxing stay in a beautiful location

Cintia made sure that all our needs were covered even before arriving. Everything from dinner on the terrace upon our arrival, breakfast for the next day, shampoo, toothpaste, shaving cream, etc was provided for us. The house is a period villa nestled among the olive and citrus trees with an amazing view onto the ocean. The house is relatively old and has its own charm. If you want a very relaxing, authentic Italian holiday with first class service in a beautiful location, then Cintia's villa is the one. Thank you Cintia and Assunte for looking after us so well.

Fantastic place to stay with all amenities a family might need.

Had a great time staying with Rosa, Giovanna and their family. They were very friendly hosts, sharing their pizza when we arrived and offering us some produce from their garden. Everything in the house suited us perfectly for the orchid searching holiday that we had planned. We did not realise that most of the smaller towns and villages in the Gargano would be completely closed down during the afternoons but that was not a fault of the accommodation.
