I stayed for 2 weeks at Andrea's idyllic rural hideaway which is also ultra convenient for both Mesagne and Latiano. Andrea is the perfect host, nothing is too much trouble for him to make you feel truly welcome. His place is surrounded by a green garden and wrap-around porch where you can while away lazy hours when the weather is hot. When I stayed there were kittens for entertainment, when you stay there might be chicks or ducklings, who knows? It is a haven for nature, with vegetables growing under olives and fruit trees and flowers in all seasons for Andrea's bees. You may be treated to a taste of cake made by his dad in Brindisi, organic seasonal ingredients grown by his friends, freshly laid eggs, herbs from the garden, you may be taught to make good Italian coffee by his cousin, who knows? It will be a mini adventure in Puglia hospitality. Highly recommended.
