It was our first time in Puglia, and we are so happy that we chose this beautiful place and the Torre of Pino and Anna for our vacation. We were in awe when we saw the huge garden that has its own charme of an enchanted park with lots of huge healthy trees, blooming plants and delicious fruit...the pine trees, the cherries and the artichokes, the lavender, just to name a few. We were surrounded by happily buzzing bees, butterflies, and the pretty Bombyliidae that we dont get to see in germany.
On the huge area of this garden, there stands the torre, a beautiful accomodation that felt like home due to Pino and Annas generosity, because we found absolutely everything we needed in the kitchen (coffee machine, gas stove, microwave, teakettle, tv, all the utensils that you need), coffee, homemade olive oil, wine, herbs...The place is very clean and organised, in an absolutely perfect condition. The windows and doors are protected against mosquitos so we didnt have to worry about the little bloodsucking monsters :). The torre stays cool when the weather gets hot, so we always found some good sleep, accompanied into our dreams by the few birds that keep singing at night.
Pino and Anna are big hearted people with a great sense of hospitality and kindness. They offered us help wherever we might need it, and we absolutely enjoyed that they cared so much.
The area in itself is great, it only takes a walk of ten minutes to be in the center of Cisternino, however you have to watch out a bit for the fast cars on the streets since it is not very common there to travel by foot.
We are sure we will come back since we felt home and enjoyed every minute of our stay.
Grazie!
