Shanti Home

Incredibly kind and helpful people. Nicola was a wealth of local information and suggestions for day trips. John Carlo the owner is a real gentleman. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and meeting them and their staff.

Everything. From arrival to departure we were made very welcome by Nicola and the team. Shanti Home is in a beautiful location, very peaceful and only a 10 minute drive into Vieste. The delicious food is all prepared on site and the atmosphere is very relaxed with amazing service. The daily chats with Giancarlo about the food, the area and anything at all just added to our enjoyment. Special thanks to all the team who make it look easy but we know it isn't.

Shanti home is beautiful. Nicola makes you feel welcomed as soon as you arrive. The rooms are modest but sparkling clean. They have a mini fridge with 2 bottles of water and air conditioning. The public spaces are inviting and relaxing. The breakfast served every morning from 8-10am is abundant and delicious. We also participated in the evening meal. It was fantastic. Nicola was so helpful to us. He helped book reservations and gave wonderful suggestions on activities.

I enjoyed everything

Very clean and well maintained!! The property reminded me of Napa or the hill country, with lots of trees, hills, bird song and butterflies. Very tranquil!! All the staff were very welcoming and kind. Nicola was very informative about the area and sent us WhatsApp messages to share restaurant recommendations and beaches. The older gentleman whose name I have forgot was wonderful and charming. Again very knowledgeable on the area and just a pleasure to meet and chat with. The breakfast was fresh and all homemade. Fruits, yoghurt, baked goods, eggs any style with bacon. Juices, teas, coffees. All served on a shaded patio. Such a secluded but lovely atmosphere and relaxing. Rooms were spotless and comfortable. I would only say that a blanket for the bed would be good just for that snuggle feeling versus just a sheet. (yes I know it was summer but when you have the AC on to keep cool at night, a blanket is good just for the weight) that’s not a complaint in any shape or form, just a helpful hint!

My only personal dislike was lots of flies in the area where food was and on food. Obviously this is not something that is easy to deal with as it’s in the middle of a woodland area. However screens and keeping doors closed may help and cover food with domes. Did not stop us from enjoying breakfast. Also should have booked another 1-2 nights. Plus missed the evening meal as we left. Would have loved to taste the fresh homemade food!
