Maria Rita and Mario's place is wonderful. It's comfortable, in a great location for exploring Salento, and super quiet. Plus the garden is lovely for hanging out - you've even got a choice of hammocks. But far more amazing than that was having Maria and Mario as hosts- they are absolutely lovely. I know people always say how great the hosts are, but I've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs, and these guys are the best. They welcomed us to Italy with a kitchen full of amazing food, had brilliant recommendations for where to go, and hosted us for lunch in their place by the sea. But it was way more than that - they helped us arrange a mechanic when we had problems with our car (twice!) and they helped us navigate the healthcare system when our baby was ill. They were our guardian angels for our trip. Would stay with them again in a heartbeat.
Oh, and it's worth noting they're really well set up for people with babies- cot, bottle warmer, playmat, steriliser, bucket swing in the garden. They had everything.
