Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Our neighbourhood is a quiet rural area with most of the houses being on 1/12 acres or more...these trulli type houses grow mostly olive trees and fruit and nut trees. Our property has 35 olive trees and a variety of fig, pear and nut trees. There is an English woman next door and several expats in the area however there are many very friendly Italians living in the area. It is totally private and safe and we are between Ceglie Messapica which is by car 10 minutes and Martina Franca 20 minutes and Ostuni is 25 minutes. All major tourist attractions and beautiful beaches are within easy drives. Alberobello and Matera ...the Unesco listed towns are an easy day's visit. Nice walks in the country side, hire of bikes, abundance of cheap good restaurants and also some very special restaurants in Ceglie, Cisternino, Ostuni, Martina Franca the list is endless.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Ceglie Messapica.....see the wonderful caves of Grotte Di Montevicoli....this town is known as the Gastrnomic City in the Salento region. Famous for its food and cooking school and art. Locorotondo around 30 minutes away is the white washed medieval town with narrow alleys ways, gorgeous historic centre some fabulous and beautiful churches with view of the
Pugliese countryside filled with olive trees, some thousands of years old. Ostuni too is white washed, cobbled paths leading to tiny stone pathways filled with cafes, restaurants and bars, craft and tourist shops all with glimpses of the very blue green sea of the Adriatic. Leece is either a short drive or train it from Ostuni to this medieval city often spoke of as the Florence of the south. Here you will find Baroque architecture in buckets! Some fabulous old grand mansions of the aristocracy .....peek into their fabulous courtyards through the iron gates. I believe once a year there is actually a tour where you can go inside!
