The Villetta is a nice home for vacation at the beach. Good strategic location, though car has to be used to get to various beaches, restaurants, supermarkets etc. Mancaversa itself has little going on in off-season. We suggest a longer-term holiday (like more to a week than just a short stop-over) at the Villetta -mainly because you need to get everything from toilet paper to cooking oil, so even basic essentials. Its strong points are the garden and pool, which are simply marvelous. The house itself is nice with good matresses. Though the bathroom definitely needs a touch-up and the kitchen could use a few more utensils like bowls or good cooking knives. COmmunication was excellent. We do want to mention that you must pay a 400€ security deposit in cash, which for Airbnb is highly unusual. No problems getting it back, though. The owner was very helpful and also put up a baby bed for us!
We recommend the Villetta especially because of location and garden/pool. Best to come in main-season with good weather, though, because inside there are not so many cosy spots to just hang out. But bad weather is probably unlikely in Salento anyway :)
