Really great villa - we would definitely recommend

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Emy and would definitely recommend it.
The villa was very clean and well maintained. If anything, it looks even nicer in real life than on the photos, which is unusual!
The people looking after the rental and the owners were all extremely kind and helpful. The information booklet in the villa recommending everything from days out to restaurants and local supermarkets is superb - even better than Lonely Planet!
We have got young children, which is why we chose a villa without pool, but this is so close to the beach so not a problem. We had a rental car with us and I think you'd need this, as I don't think you'd find enough to do within walking distance. As it was, we went fairly far afield around Puglia and visited different towns and beaches. This is a self-catering villa with a difference as there is the Puglia Chef service available. There is a menu in the villa and a phone number to ring for a fabulous (3 course, if you're greedy like us!) local freshly prepared Italian meal delivered to your door in time for dinner! Now that's what I call a holiday!
This was our first time in Puglia, but we would definitely return. It is not at all touristy, but where Italians go on holiday. Parts of it are run down and seem quite poor, but I would much rather that than over developed and touristy.
