I confess to being a little disappointed on arrival--I was hoping for rural isolation, but the farm is just off a main road, with a commuter rail line running behind it. Here's the great thing, though--after one dinner and one sleep, I absolutely didn't care any more. Dinner was a communal four-course feast of the best, simple, Puglian home cooking imaginable with excellent, unlimited red wine; the bed was comfy, the room was quiet and dark at night, and despite having the room closest to the tracks, the train didn't bother us in the least. Domenico, his mom, the staff (the loveliest, cheeriest, hardest-working two-woman team ever), the homey atmosphere are everything all the other good reviews on this site say they are. The folks in the one disappointed review should have had a meal--it would have cheered them up big time.
I've stayed in three other agriturismi, and this one beat them all hands down for good food and friendliness. I also liked that the grounds are big enough that it's easy to go off and find a spot to read or relax in, out of the way, rather than being stuck with either your room or a common area. It was a bit cool for swimming the week we were there, but the pool was gorgeous and clean, surrounded by olive trees, with lots of deck chairs and umbrellas, and plenty of sunbathing going on.
We stayed a week and it was hard to leave. Just a good, good place, all round.
