We had the most amazing stay at La Vigna. Everything was just perfect. We felt we were living in a small paradise. The house is one of the most beautiful houses we have ever seen. Interior design was providing such a sensual pleasure following the traditional style of the Itria Valley. We all deeply enjoyed the beauty – sophisticated choices and the quality materials of the interior. The kitchen was spacious and charming, very well equipped with quality appliances, marble countertops and lovely tiles. We cooked many meals there, eating lunch inside hiding from the heat and dinners outside on the patio. One day we had a cook arranged for us by Elizabeth - and we enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by lovely Flora. With Flora I also learned how to make a lemon-ricotta pie. Bedrooms felt cool enough even though there was quite a heat period during our stay. We appreciated good beds and the quality material bed linens. Bathrooms were spacious and beautiful, with good towels. And, everything was very clean and fresh. The gorgeous house was surrounded by an amazing scent of rosemary and lavender, and an orchard filled with trees of figs, apricots, cherries, pomegrantes, apples, pears, almonds, mulberries. What a luxury to have fresh fruit from the garden. I loved walking in the garden early in the morning, enjoying the sounds and scents of nature. I carry with me the scent of figs, lavender and rosemary. And, oh my, the pool! A great one with a proper length and beautiful layout, surrounded by fig and cherry trees and a huge pine tree. A perfection.
Also, the location was perfect for taking small day trips. We visited e.g. Locorotondo, and went swimming in the sea in Torre Guaceto, and had a fantastic lunch at Cibus at Ceglie Messapica. And what made our stay even more special was the warmth of our hosts - Elizabeth and Ian. We were taken care of in such a wonderful way, from the first contact on. The communication was prompt and extremely kind. Thank you so much, Elizabeth and Ian. You have a very special place, and your caring and love for the place can truly be felt, in communication and at the estate. Also we want to send our warm gratitude to Isa, the housekeeper. We can highly recommend this little paradise to anyone who appreciates beautiful house and surroundings, sophisticated yet cosy interior, a great pool, and accommodating and warm hosts. We wish to return to this magical place, maybe next in the time of pomegranates. Grazie Mille!
