Very relaxing family holiday - highly recommended
We stayed in the villa for a week in August 2022, as a family group of 6 adults. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Oksana and her very friendly dogs and cats. First impressions were of a large, oasis-like, gated house, with extensive grounds surrounded by high hedges, including a swimming pool and lots of different fruit and vegetables growing. The pool is in clean, well-maintained and is of a good size with plenty of sun loungers. Next to the pool there is an outdoor kitchen, which is under cover, including a barbeque and pizza oven. As a family, we found it lovely to be able to prepare our evening meal there and eat together on a large table, under the vine leaves – which, as a result of the lovely weather, we were able to do every evening. The rooms are comfortable and clean with very good air conditioning. There is also WiFi, with a reasonably good connection speed. Oksana was a generous host, bringing us fresh fruit and vegetables every day – also some delicious home-made grappa and wine. The villa is very close to Brindisi and the main road between there and Bari but we were not disturbed by traffic noise at all. We used our stay as a base to visit various sites in Puglia, including Polignano a Mare, Ostuni, Lecce, Otranto and Taranto. This was our first time in Puglia and we fell in love with the friendly people, fantastic food and wine, lovely weather and great places to visit. Overall, we had a great family holiday at the villa and were sad to leave – I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil, relaxing time.
