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!)
