We spent two wonderful weeks in Don Pippi in July. The Pajare is very tastefully furnished, with traditional and natural materials and equipped with everything you need. We used the cooking plate to cook fresh pasta and the BBQ outside to grill vegetables, meat and fish. The accommodation was cleaned twice a week in an exceptional diligent way including fresh towels, new bed cover etc. Don Pippi is located in an Agriturismo outside Tricase, surrounded by oak trees, fig trees (we checked them every day, but they were unfortunately not yet ripe 😊), oleander and fields. At night you can sometimes hear the adjacent road from afar, esp. the motorbikes, when you are sitting outside, but it is not dominating or disturbing. Inside the Pajare it is absolutely quiet. For us it was the perfect place to relax, to read a book in the shadow of the pergola, having lunch there and preparing dinner with fresh local ingredients. There are a couple of local shops in Tricase, where you can buy fresh bread, meat, vegetables and even freshly made pasta and also a fully equipped Coop supermarket. Furthermore you can find some nice and good restaurants with typical local food or just a Pizza followed by amazing gelato in G&CO. . The sea is nearby and there are many beautiful and lonely places in a driving distance of max. 20 minutes. A trip to Lecce or Otranto is very worthwhile.
Francesco is very responsive and very accommodating and helpful. The two weeks had just flown by and we wished to stay another week or two. If you look for a relaxing and quiet vacation in an authentic part of Italy Don Pippi is the perfect place. We really didn’t want to leave.
