Beautiful tranquil villa
We had a wonderful time staying at this beautifully decorated villa in the countryside. The location was perfect for visiting the surrounding area, with Cisterino being just a short five minute drive. Prieto the property manager was awesome at explaining the house and was always available by text to recommend a local restaurant. He truly knew the best spots. The owner Stewart was also attentive in making sure we enjoyed our stay. Besides visiting several nearby towns such as Ostuni & Aberobello. We also enjoyed visiting the local grocery and a fish market down by the coast. The best of the local produce led to breakfasts and a few late lunches by the pool, wonderful meals prepared by the whole family.
The house does not have AC which we knew from the listing, but as we arrived during an August heatwave we were somewhat concerned, however once you open up the doors and turn on the fans the house will reach a comfortable temperature rather quickly and at night we slept Al fresco with our doors open and shielded by romantic over the beds netting.
The only recommendation we have to the property owner is it would be nice to have Wifi. I needed to check in with my office for about an hour a day and usually if there is no wifi then I will hot spot on my phone, however we often had weak or spotty cell reception. But overall the stay was wonderful and we would love to return again.
