17th ? 24th September 2005
Francesco + Watsana, thank you for an amazing welcome + for the comfort of this beautiful apartment. We have explored Puglia + our 1 year son, Cormac, has definitely explored the apartment. The Pugliese food has been fantastic + our favourite meal in Oria would have to be Trattoria Cavalieri off Piazza Manfredi. No menu but fantastic food especially the antipasti. We have enjoyed lots of swimming at Campomarino + down to Gallipoli. Martina Franca, the Piazza Popoli at Alberobello especially the gelati + the trip to Matera mass definitely worth the drive.
Thank you for organizing the wine tasting + seeing how mozzarella is actually created was great. As we have certainly been feasting on that in our Italian stay.
Off to Roma now
Ciao Kate, Christ + Cormac

How has the ?Lonely Planet Guide? missed a gem like Oria? I can only reiterate previous comments! Oria is full of friendly folk and magical moments!
- Vecchio Restorant (should be ?Vecchia Oria? n.d.r.) fantastic food!
- Il Luce - lovely ladies!
- Caff? Manfredi ? brilliant bar
- Castello Svevo ? Worth a visit!
Area Roundabout
Auchan ? stunning supermarket
Alberobello ? ?trulli? tremendous
Lecce ? lots to look at
Campomarino and Specchiolla ? Blue sea and beautiful beaches
We?ve had a wonderful week. Saturday and Sunday the square (Manfredi n.d.r.) just buzzed with people. The wine went down well!
Congratulations to Watsana for winning 1st prize (lovely cup) in the food festival. Her Thai cooking was delicious! Thank you, Francesco, for the wine. Hope the new ventures go well.

What a fantastic experience we have had: a short, but very enjoyable sample of Southern Italian life.
Many thanks to those who have written in this valuable guide ? your advice was appreciated.
The Castellana caves: We did the short (1 hour) walk ? amazed at their size (60 m. across hall). Leave plenty of time for the trip. Negotiating villages take time!.
Trulli Houses: Hundreds of these to see around Alberobello (on the smaller hillside) was informative and well displayed.
We recommend Restaurants il Luce and Vecchia Oria (off Piazza Manfredi ? great food).
The shops are worth explaing, but not always easy to find; with smalls fronts. Just keep walking and looking. They are alla over town and not in expected places.
The modern shopping centre at Mesagne (Auchan) is like anywhere else in the world, except that the supermarket has the widest range of foodstuffs. The other stores do stock some Italian goods.
Ww found the people of Oria very friendly, warm and welcoming.
Watsana & Francesco?s generous hospitality was appreciated greatly. We enjoyed discussing the cultures of grand old Italy and the newer grand Australia.
Arrivederci! Jean & Jim CARR ? Shepparton ? AUSTRALIA
