Oh dear. Big lost in translation issue. A few weeks before we were due to arrive, host Sergio asked if we wanted bath towels for an extra €50!!! Being a bit of a tight ar$e, there was no way I wanted to pay that much for bath towels, seeing as every other place we stayed in Puglia had them included, so we brought our own. So I politely said no thanks However, what Sergio actually meant was do we want towels AND all the bedding, for an extra €50!!!. So when we arrived, none of the beds had sheets on. These were all stored at his main home 20km away. So I had to drive there and back just to pick up the bedding. Sergio said many Italian families want to bring their own towels and bedding, hence his initial question. I said he should just include everything in the price, as that is what foreign tourists expect. Not sure why he thought we would want to bring all our bedding with us on the plane. At the end of the stay, his wife arrived, demanding the €50 for the towels and bedding. Whole episode put a real dampener on our stay, so you have been warned

Very nice villa located in a safe and quiet area, with a terrace and a garden, not too far from the old town and the sea. Super convenient for a large group of people. Marco, the host, was so friendly and welcoming and would assist you with anything with a smile. Great value for money.
