Tenuto Il Greco is AMAZING. We came to stay for a week and had the whole first floor of the house with access to the pool. Nothing can prepare you for the house until you drive up the road and see it, it’s stunning! The pictures are accurate, but the size and grandeur of the place you dont realise until you see it for real. The pool was fabulous, cleaned every morning, and the location great too. Very quite and private. The grounds around the house were gorgeous; vineyards, amazing plants, trees and cacti’s. In terms of location, you are pretty much bang in the middle between the east and west coast - with about 30/40mins drive to Otranto and Gallipoli and to beaches all along the south coast. For the nights we went into towns, Cristiano sorted a taxi for us which was so helpful, and we ended up using the same guy for a few nights in the trip, who was quick to respond to us when needed! (Although do advise booking in advance)
The rooms were great, spacious with very comfortable beds. The kitchen was perfect for us too, had everything we needed plus more!
Cristiano was a great host, one of the best I’ve experienced on Airbnb! He was so kind, helpful and so quick to respond to any of our needs. And he gave great tips on things to do around Salento.
Honestly can say this is one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had so far. Grazie Cristiano!! Until the next time!
