It’s difficult to describe how good this property is, marvellous, stunning, fantastic, all of them are correct. It’s the enormity of the property and grounds that’s difficult to comprehend until you actually walk around the place. I would strongly recommend not playing hide and seek here….it could go on for days!!
The kitchen had everything that we needed and the 2nd fridge is a great addition.
The outdoor seating and dining areas are large and comfortable as you would expect. The ones to the front of the property were used every morning for breakfast whilst the ones at the rear were used in the afternoon and evening times.
We rarely sat inside although there are several large dining tables spread across 3 different rooms should they be required in the cooler months.
The pool, which is the longest and deepest I’ve used for quite sometime, was very welcome on those 30 degree sunny afternoons.
OUR HOSTS
Jackie greeted us on arrival and talked us through all of the important stuff and then gave us great information about Martina Franca and the local area. She also booked a restaurant an olive oil tasting and a taxi for us, which we do thank you for.
Giuseppe was rarely seen but kept the place clean and tidy at all times….I suspect he’s a bit of an “early bird”..
Finally there are some great restaurants, bars and cafes within 15 mins walking distance, we particularly liked Gotha with its little garden court yard eating area.
We did a couple of wine tastings, one in M Franca and one just a short drive away (this one included food), both are well worth a visit.if you want to try the local grapes.
All in all a brilliant week, thanks Jackie and Giuseppe for all your help during our stay.
