The villa is exactly like the photos, very comfortable, well equipped. It has everything you need for a stay in the utmost comfort: the colours of the majolica tiles and the garden-facing windows are a genuine homage to Gio Ponti (they strongly recall the ones used at the Parco dei Principi in Sorrento) and are used skilfully, in tune with the rest of the house (an architect's word for it). Just as notable was how available the owners, Mimmo and Mariella, always were whenever information was needed. Comfortable beds (sleeps 4), a superb shower. There is even a recycling point for sorting out rubbish.
Although it sits in a strategic spot between the most interesting beaches (between Gallipoli and Porto Cesareo, 25 minutes at most), and despite a market and a restaurant nearby, you do need a car to reach the sea. The alternative is the pool next door, reserved for guests of the Portoselvaggio holiday complex, but that too is only accessible for a fee.
