We have just returned home after having a 17 night stay at Ignazio's beautiful country house. The place is gorgeous and everything it promised to be. It is comfortable, but also rustic and traditional, which was absolutely what we wanted.

We were a large group of family and friends. The layout of the property is such that a big group is easily accomodated without feeling crowded at all. The fact that all the bedrooms have their own bathrooms is a great bonus. The outdoor table is a fabulous cool and shady place to sit, as was the clean and beautifully landscaped pool. The property is surrounded by mature olive and fig trees and the fragrant rosemary and lavender bushes were a delight for the senses after the one brief shower of our stay.

My husband and I occupied the huge private master bedrom complete with its own private terraces and outdoor shower (there is also a bath and shower indoors!). An amazing room - it really has to be experienced.

We really enjoyed exploring the area. The house is a few kilometres from the nearest villages or shops, which was a little too far to walk comfortably, but there are many charming villages,shops and restaurants within a short drive. The sea is about 20 minutes away.

Ignazio was a charming and helpful host. He was keen to share his knowledge of the area and is clearly passionate about Salento. He helped us greatly by making dinner reservations, recommending lidos and good places to visit and booking taxis. It was particularly helpful when he gave us a copy of a local listings magazine outlining festivals and other events and identified which ones were close by and likely to be the best. This allowed us to properly experience the rich culture of the area and we were really grateful for this.

I strongly recommend this wonderful place to anyone. You won't be disappointed! Once again Thank You Ignazio!
