We had a wonderful stay!
Perhaps stating the obvious, however a car is essential, for this villa and Puglia in general.
On this note, although the villa is situated quite a few kilometres, from Ostuni, it is an easy route to the centre and parking is not a problem. After the first few drives to the villa, from the main road, we became comfortable with the journey, even though the last section is narrow and poorly lit. The grounds to the villa are well lit, so no problem when approaching in the dark. The parking area is just right in terms of number of spaces, however could do with a tarpaulin/canvas cover, to protect the cars from the extreme heat.
In terms of comfort and practical amenities, the lounge, and bedrooms are well furnished and the bathrooms and kitchen are finished to a good quality. Two of the bedrooms, could benefit from a chest of draws, as we stayed for almost 3 weeks and did not have sufficient space to put our clothes away.
As the outside area has been well designed for outside living, we had no problem when the heat increased during the last week, to circa 40 degrees, as there is a very large roofed area in front of the lounge and kitchen, providing shade, with comfortable furniture and even a floor rug! The second shaded area is by the swimming pool and this also houses the BBQ and a shower. The swimming pool is just the right size and not too deep, so cooling off was a pleasure.
The villa manager was very helpful and all in all a lovely find!
