We have been traveling to Italy for 30 years. This is our first trip to Puglia and the first time we’ve rented through VRBO.
From the beginning, the property manager, Hazel, has been extremely helpful. We are careful people, and always work to prevent reading into things, hence several inquiries to clarify amenities. We needn’t have worried.
The house is exactly as described, and the photos don’t do it justice. The kitchen is well done, with everything you need to cook a nice meal. The appliances are new and of high quality. The living room is nicely furnished and comfortable…if you spend a moment inside. The bedrooms have bedside tables with lamps, good storage for clothes, and are bright and cheery. The real stars of the show are the newly remodeled fantasy bathroom with double shower and sinks, and the enormous pool, surrounded by a stone deck with 6 lounge chairs and a conversation corner with 2 chairs, a love seat, and coffee table. The outdoor areas are made very private by the mature landscaping, including the night blooming jasmine hedges that deliver their lovely scent to the property each evening. The terrazza is large and offers a conversation area as well as a choice of 2 dining tables, each seating 6, one in the sun and one in the shade. The trullo is quaint and is as charming as you’d expect, and also offers a bit of real privacy as it’s not connected to the main house.
Your only problem will be tearing yourself away…
