Andrea’s place is absolutely charming and it’s location is an excellent base for exploring the Salento. The town of Poggiardo is very nice with its baroque church and has everything you might want during your stay (there’s a grocery store just around the corner). Perhaps more importantly however is the proximity to coastal towns such as Castro, which are very close. From there we took the beautiful coastal road all the way down to Puglia’s southern most point at Santa Maria di Leuca. All of this easily done with a car from Andrea’s home. My next point is the house itself. It has clearly been decorated very thoughtfully, in a manner that is intentional but not at all contrived. It’s really just the type of place I had hoped to stay while visiting this part of Puglia. I would absolutely recommend this wonderful home!
