The property was absolutely stunning, the staff was very friendly and responsive, and the meals they made for us were incredible. The host, was very responsive and was able to accommodate last minute requests from our group. The town is small, but beautiful and the restaurant in town Nonna Rosa had upscale dining which was delicious and a 5 minute walk from the villa. The town felt very safe and friendly, and the bar/cafe in the town center had everything you could want, including the local pastry pasticiotto. The local salumeria was run but the kindest couple who were so helpful, welcoming, and patient despite us not speaking much Italian. This is close to Lecce and Brindisi, which made travel very easy and driving through town and fining parking was easy.

The grounds and pool area are magnificent. The kitchen is well stocked if you enjoy cooking. We really enjoyed eating in the outside area. Check in was a breeze with Priscilla's welcoming staff. The walk to the town square takes minutes. My husband and I enjoy a morning run and the lovely roads were safe and scenic. In addition to all that, this home is centrally located and convenient for a daytrip to the beach. And lastly, delicious food and city adventures are a short walk or drive away. We cant wait to return to this dream home.

The photos do not show just how beautiful and spacious it is. Our hosts and everyone that works at Palazzo Mosa to make the stay enjoyable couldn’t have done more. Every morning Nico had worked his magic tiding up the pool and gardens. Maria Antonietta was so helpful recommending a masseuse and cooked the most delicious special meal for our final night. We were a party of seven ladies from various countries meeting to celebrate my 40th. This worked perfectly, I’ll be returning for a family get together in the future. Have never stayed in such a perfect villa.
