We stayed in Villa Negli Alberi (villa Chiara) July 20th to 30th.
The villa is stunning. Set amongst lush pine gardens. So many areas to rest in the sun or shade. The swimming pool is amazing, huge, with spa pool (same temp as pool, cannot be heated) but very nice. Views across trees tops from kitchen terrace across the pine valley beautiful, as were the sunsets. Dogs can be heard barking around, in the evening, bit noisy on occasion, but inside villa you can't hear them at night.
The area of Selva Di Fasano, is the perfect base camp for exploring Puglia. It is high up, with amazing views down to Fasano town, coast. Arberello, Ostuni, Locorotondo, Monopoli so near 30 mins. Visit town early, and we went to Ostuni, and at night beautiful. Lecce and Mater just over hour away. Matera wow.
The local coffee shop, Bar Loco (has deli and shop inside), restaurants Cosi Comi can be reached by walking down the hill to rightside of property. La Grand Querichero restaurant is a little drive both lovely. There is a butchers along from Caffe that we had a meal at in the evening, basic but lovely bbq meats, eating with the locals. There is a La Botega for deli bits, fresh rolls supplies. In this parade is a chemist, and Seafood Restaurant too.
Driving to Sevettri, for seafood restaurants is only 25 mins. We had lunch there in Fronte Mare. Such a good price for delicious food.
Davide was our representative, and was on hand when we needed to ask any questions.
