Beautiful Spacious House
Overall. we had a nice stay at the villa. Diane is a responsive host and Roberta and Ahmed were very responsive property managers. It is spacious with nicely appointed bedrooms, living room, and kitchen had all the basic requirements. The outdoor area is lovely which is of course dominated by the amazing pool. House is really close to Ostuni and the old town which is great. Overall it was lovely.
However and this important to keep in mind:
- There is no wifi, well there is wifi but it is awful and rarely works. Ahmed provided us with a portable wifi router but the result was the same. Additionally, there is little to no mobile reception regardless of network so basically you are completely incommunicado while there. In a sense it can be a blessing in disguise when on vacation but if you require anything online such as answering emails from work, having netflix for the kids, you have no solution. It is not sustainable for anyone with a job.
- No blackout curtains or blinds. So for light sleepers you are at surise and if you have kids, you can expect very long days.
- No Air Conditioning and although the house is on top of a hill and has a lovely breeze, when it is 37 degrees during the day and 27 at night, it is hot, fan or not. I would recommend adding AC in the rooms. The kids room was one with no air and was very, very hot.
- Main bathroom has very little water pressure. It was ok as there was a shower downstairs.
Despite the few negatives, I would recommend this villa.
