Villa de Donatis Charming Guest House

Horrible communication . Noisy We were absolutely disappointed with our stay. This a small villa with just a few rooms ( 3-4 maybe?), possibly a former family house reconditioned. The welcome was OK, however we asked about dinner options and they said there should be many options in the area. However they nver said they were an option ( and this place is also famous as restaurant). That was OK, we assumed due to the local holiday and being a sunday they will not offer the service) However , after returning from dinner in another town, we were surprised to see that there was a wedding celebration (possibly at least 50 people) all over the house (so there was dinner service, just NOT for us). Not only that but the celebration lasted well over midnight, which made sleeping impossible for us. That they celebrate a wedding in a big hotel is OK, facilities are huge. But here , the wedding is next to you. And hey I understand that the venue gains more business from the wedding than from my stay, but they should definitely have told us that this wedding was happening and we would have booked somewhere else. The last straw was not being open and honest when we asked about dinner, and saying “ the restaurant is fully booked, there is a wedding celebration here tonight” Finally, on the breakfast part, you will see on the pictures of this hotel a nice buffet with a lot of really good looking options. What we got was OK, but nothing close to what you see in the pics. So , i do not recommended it at all

io e mio marito siamo stati ospiti di Agnese De Donatis per 8 bellissimi indimenticabili giorni e ci siamo innamorati della Puglia guardandola con i suoi occhi.. Agnese ci ha guidati, capiti, coccolati...lei è, insieme alla sua bella mamma, Villa De Donatis...tutto ruota intorno a queste due donne così speciali. Questa vacanza è stata per noi una combinazione perfetta di eleganza, attenzione e garbo che raramente abbiamo trovato. La casa ha il sapore di una dimora di campagna d'altri tempi..il sapore di famiglie numerose e di amore per le cose belle. Le camere parlano di Agnese, del suo buon gusto fatto di mobili di famiglia, di ricercatezza nei tessuti, di passione, di vivacità di pensiero... Abbiamo concluso le nostre giornate fatte di spiagge bianche e mare di cristallo con splendidi bagni in piscina, condividendo l'acqua tiepida con le rondini che venivano a bere sfiorando l'acqua...una poesia.. Per ultime ma non ultime le colazioni...le mani di Agnese volano...pan brioche con burro francese... croissant caldi sfogliati amano, marmellate fatte da lei, porcellane antiche... Ho adorato ogni momento..come quando ascolti una canzone nuova e già sai che diventerà la tua preferita di sempre
