A real oasis in Puglia, where every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations! There is attention to detail at every corner very friendly staff, warm southern Italian hospitality, a very inviting pool and a beautiful restaurant. Lots of options for breakfast as well. We really appreciate how friendly and knowledgable the bartending staff was. We will return!
