Our stay at Désirée's place was very pleasant. The house itself is lovely, although a bit old so there were a couple of minor nuisances during our stay. Be aware that, at least when we were there, we had to be careful with leftover food put outside or in the kitchen because there were ants in the garden ready to jump on it (but nothing too problematic). The place is very large and airy, and it looks very local. It is also in a very convenient position, quite close to the city and everywhere else in Salento. Désirée is a wonderful hostess, always helpful and ready to give useful advice on what to do and where to go and available in case of doubt. The check-in and check-out went really smoothly and overall we are fully satisfied with our booking. We would definitely recommend Désirée's listing if you are planning to stay in Porto Cesareo
