My partner and I had an absolutely fantastic stay here. This beautiful family villa offers space, privacy, authenticity and luxury. The historic home, front drive and terrace are clean, airy, and secluded. It is decorated in the highest taste, with all the necessary facilities and amenities. The expansive grounds and driveway abound with pretty pathways, fruit trees and grapevines, and the large jacuzzi and seating make for a luxurious and peaceful resting space. The old town centre is a mere 5-10mins walk away.
Angelita is a wonderful host who is generous, quick to respond and full of excellent recommendations about the local area and region. Getting to know her was a pleasure: the cooking lesson with her mum, and the tour we joined Angelita on at the local olive grove, were highlights of the trip.
Cisternino itself is one of the prettiest towns in the region. Brilliantly located, and full of excellent bars and eateries, it has commanding views of the valley and is (somehow) slightly overlooked by tourists.
I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
