Casa Torchiano is more beautiful than the pictures, if you can imagine that. We wanted to return to Puglia and stay near the sea, so in looking for a place we found Anna and her villas. The entire property was as listed in the description of the Villa, beautiful grounds, very clean and inclusive. We spent many hours looking at the Adriatic, enjoying the sun and loungers. We shopped locally and cooked several dinners in the well equipped kitchen. Be sure to check on water temperature upon arrival -found that we only needed to turn up the heater a bit. We travelled to Lecce and were stunned by the entire city, so many beautiful buildings and a great lunch there. We found the property manager Anna, to be so warm and friendly, upon our arrival. They met us and drove us to the house, which was necessary for the first time. After that we had no issues with driving in the area. You do need a car unless you plan to stay at the villa all the days. It was only a 10 minute drive to the beach. We had a fantastic day at the Ristorante Pizzeria sul Mare, L'Anacora, with long lunch, playing cards on the deck, right on the water. We were made to feel like locals. I would recommend this villa to a friend with full confidence.
