Descripción
We are a retired couple with a dog and cat living in the countryside near Ostuni in Puglia in southern Italy. Our villa is set in a 1.3 hectare plot of land with olive, almond and fruit trees. In addition to our villa we have a second self contained property on the land with its own entrance. We also have a swimming pool but it is only open from mid April to early October. We are in a quiet area a few km from both Ostuni and Carovigno and only 15 minutes from the sea by car.

The accomodation will be in either the self contained guest property, which has 2 bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and outdoor veranda or in a double bedroom in our villa, depending on availability.

We prepare most meals but will have one evening where we get local pizzas. Assistance with the preperation of meals and clearing up is always welcome.
