We loved Il Limone so much it was really hard to leave. The location is just perfect, set in the scenic countryside of Val D’Itria but in easy driving distance of many towns-Cisternino, Martina Franca, Locorotondo, as well as the beautiful beaches of Monopoli. We went to Lecce one day but our favorite town was Ostuni, very close and many corners to explore, with many restaurants. We also enjoyed Alberobello in the evening. Nicola and his parents were wonderful hosts, making sure our stay was comfortable. They shared the bounty of their garden and even fresh eggs. We cooked breakfast there every day with fresh vegetables from the garden and had dinner in a few times. We loved sitting on the private back deck and swinging in the hammocks. The bathroom is very nice and the washing machine and dishwasher make it an even more comfortable stay. The beds are comfortable. If it’s hot just know that the second bedroom does not have its own ac unit. I would not let that deter you, however. This place is amazing-comfortable, quiet and right on the heart of it all. We had dinner at Sale e Peppe the first night. Just down the road from Il Limone. We also enjoyed going to the Panifocio just beyond Sale e Peppe, and an alementari at the top of the street.
