Great location close to some excellent beach clubs (we liked Guna Beach most), and easy reach of top sites Lecce/Val D'Itria/Otranto. Lovely regular breeze, good shade available all day in the various outside seating areas. Great views to the sea. Surrounded by the stunning monumental olive trees. On your own with large garden but not isolated. We did overnight trips to Leuca and Matera. Domenico and Melita do a good job on the house and pool and are available (close by and very responsive) - for example we arrived in the middle of the massive storm that took out electricity in the house for 24 hours so that was really tested. The power system seems overloaded at peak times which can effect the A/C. Visits from the lovely german shepherd were fun. Loved the fish monger and greengrocer in Carovigno. Famila supermarket in San Vito has everything you'd want. We had a great time, and would certainly good back.
