The Villa Verde is a clean,well equiped, comfortable villa in a quiet location just outside the village of Pantanagianni. The air conditioning was a godsend as it was very hot when we arrived. There is plenty of out door furniture and plenty of shade. The villa stands at the end of a long drive and is not overlooked by any other property. We were met by the owners representative who lives locally and was very helpful.
We visited the main towns in the area. Ostuni is lovely with fantastic views to the coast. We particularly liked Martina Franca and Alberobello with its Trulli houses. We drove down from Rome so cannot comment on either Bari or Brindisi airports.
We ate out every night. The average bill for two with wine was about 40 euro, which we felt was fantastic. There are several restaurants at the small resort of San Sabina and the nearest town of Carovigno, But beware, very little english is spoken.
The beach (slightly more than 500m away) is small but very pleasant. You can hire loungers and beach umbrellas, and there is a bar and snack bar.
One thing we found was that as the end of September came closer, more and more facilities closed. There is a definite holiday season.
All in all a very pleasant holiday in a lovely villa in a great location.
Owner's Response: Thanks very much for you kind comments, we are very glad that you enjoyed your stay.
