Cannot praise this villa or the wonderful Semeraro family enough. We had the most wonderful 11 days and everything was exactly as promised. Nothing was too much trouble for Annalisa, despite the fact she was not so well she made herself constantly available to help us. Annalisa's partner, Nicola, went beyond the call of duty to accompany us to the hospital when our youngest needed treatment - also spending an hour nursing our older toddler in the waiting room when we were in the operating theatre. We will always remember Nicola's kindness and concern in ensuring our daughter received the right treatment, not to mention his diligence and patience driving with us around the town at night to find a pharmacy stocking the drugs we needed. Much praise must be given to the doctor and staff at the Cisternino a&e who surpassed my expectations in many ways too (but hopefully this isn't something most guests will need to worry about!). We thoroughly enjoyed the Semeraro wine (The Opera is brilliant, far too easy to drink...), the easy walk into town and the handy local amenities (the best meal we had was at the Four Leaf Clover restaurant, we arrived unannounced and the restaurant looked closed, we asked for a pizza and were told the oven was not on but we could have pasta or fish - cue the most wonderful, fresh lunch of salad and antipasti (complimentary) and pasta in a really easy setting with staff so happy to accommodate our two little ones) made this one of the most relaxing holidays we have had with our girls, even taking into account the hospital visit. The villa is such a tranquil place and the view is quite mesmerising. Lots of easy day trips and the beach nearby, we just loved our stay. Lunch with the Semeraro family was a particular highlight, beautiful food and generous, welcome company. Thank you Annalisa, Nicola and the rest of the Semeraro family. We are so thrilled we chose your beautiful villa. Thank you for sharing it with us.
