This is a very good bargain and had everything we needed, newly renovated bathroom with washing machine, very good mosquito defense on all windows and doors. Conscientous owner with prompt communication. We were lucky to spend a pre-season week here with excellent weather and quiet surroundings. There are no shops, bars or restaurants close by, a car is really a necessity and will take you to the interesting towns further from the coast, foremost Lecce where you find everything. An alimentari named Mon Market was our best bet in the vicinity of Torre Chianca to buy everyday stuff. The immediately accessible beach is unkempt and a bit rough, fine for walking though.
