This was the perfect getaway for us. Set in a beautiful valley filled with olive groves and distant views of the Adriatic Sea. Our days were spent relaxing by the glorious pool or snoozing in a hammock on the terrace. The apartment was lovely, very spacious and spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need in a holiday home. The kitchen/fridge was stocked with all the essentials so that we didn’t have to go to the supermarket straight away. We were also given a supply of home grown olive oil which was superb. Most evenings we BBQ'd fresh fish bought from the market in Vico and enjoyed fine wines from the local wine merchant. We did venture out a few times in our little hire car visiting the Gargano National Park and taking a dramatic coastal drive along the peninsula - not for the faint hearted! Our hosts Ian and Margherita were extremely helpful, thoughtful and kind. We are so pleased and feel very fortunate that we chose to stay here as we ended our holiday feeling totally recharged, relaxed and happy with a great tan to boot. Such a beautiful place and wonderful new friends.

We stayed at Tenuta Villa Oleandro for a week in late April as we were interested in exploring the interior of the Gargano for its wildlife, especially the flora. We found the accommodation faultless - it was more than comfortable and had all the amenities we required and more. The service from our hosts was impeccable, focussed on hospitality and friendliness. They made us feel very welcome and were very generous with their time and information. We thought the property provided all the amenities we required and more, and felt sorry that we hadn't been able to take more of advantage of the facilities as we were out each day exploring the glorious forests and fields of the area. We liked best the kind and generous hospitality and peaceful, off the beaten track location. There was nothing we didn't like about the property.

This was our second visit - we were there just last September and couldn't keep away. That says it all, really! The apartment is superbly equipped and beautifully situated. Ian and Margherita cannot do enough to help and the welcome pack is second to none, with Margherita's delicious home-made jams, a bowl of fresh fruit, eggs, bread, milk, tea, coffee, wine, beer etc etc. There is always some of Ian's home-produced oil too! The affectionate pet dogs and cats make it a home from home: they are always there to welcome you home at the end of every day! The area is unspoilt and utterly beautiful - and relatively undiscovered. Go there as soon as you can!

This is a great apartment. It is superbly well equipped and the welcome pack is just about the best I have experienced. The interior is a delight and has the feel of a real home. There's lots of space. The kitchen is a generous size and has everything you might need.
The outside space is fabulous and provides lots of choice with a great pool in a beautifully designed setting.
Margherita and Ian are excellent hosts who look after their guests and ensure their comfort and help them to make the most of their stay. They are available if needed but are very discreet so it seems as if the space is yours alone.
The views across the valley are splendid and the quiet location guarantees peace, quiet and rest from a busier life at home.
Foresta Umbra is well worth a visit and Monte Sant’Angelo is a delightful hill top town.
