The outdoor swimmingpool was very Nice. We used it every day of the stay. The announced wifi did not work, and when I Asked the hostess she said the Walls are too thick so they stop the signal. We tried to get a connection outside, but it was weak, on-and off, so not practical. The hostess seemed a bit intense from the start, but Nice. That lasted only till day two, when she came to our door a bit agitated: Had we been to the beach and used one of the towels? I said yes we have. She then claimed that the towel is now full of bacteria and must be destroyed. I would be charged €20 for the towel out of my deposit. It seemed to me that the best way to deal with the situation was to say nothing. The towel I shook out and rinsed off the sand that was on it. Same condition as before.At checkout next day she seemed angry again, and sure enough; she gave back just 180 of my €200 deposit. As I stood there in her living room I happened to see her computer screen— wich had live video off all the outdoor areas we had used. I can not remember seeing signs informing about this. Sligthly creepy, but not a big deal. Hotels dot com have already reimbursed me the money she stole and then some, but the hostess made us feel uncomfortable for the last day and a half of the stay. I hope for the guests to come later that she gets better. Never had to give a bad review before, but this had to be said.

We stayed at the villa 2 nights on a whirlwind trip to Puglia. The villa is located in The San Giorgio neighborhood of Bari and is a welcome sight once the heavy gate at its entrance is opened. The hostess was most gracious and accomodating, the room by the pool with en suite bathroom is meticulously appointed in good taste. If there is a drawback, is the fact that breakfast is not included. Given that, the price then is a bit high.
