A Paradise in Puglia

Simply the most gorgeous place to stay and explore southern Puglia. The food, service and the whole team are outstanding- extremely attentive, kind and truly look after you and make you feel special. From the moment you walk through the green door and Martina greets you, you are treated like royalty. We cant wait to return.

All the staff are so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great! So many lovely patisserie items and then I had smoked salmon and poached eggs every day… my favourite! Pool was sparkling clean and always plenty of sun loungers. Location quite remote but we found a few good restaurants nearby and a friendly little local bar with a talking parrot!
