My friend and me had an amazing time at Cecilia's place. We didn't meet her in person but she always responded immediately to any of our questions. The location of the house is simply stunning and the view, the interior and the whole house itself even nicer than on the pictures. Everything is still new and clean and the house decorated in a tasteful way. Also the kitchen was equipped very well.
We had only difficulties finding the house the first night cause the location which is shown on Google Maps once you click on "get directions" is not quite accurate. The house is actually a little further down the road towards the sea and you have to turn right just before a sharp turn.
We stayed at Cecilia's house end of September/beginning of October which was perfect to still catch some sun and simply enjoy the quietness of the house and the whole area. It was definitely already off-season and some restaurants already closed. But we still had 2 beach days and otherwise enjoyed just reading on the terrace of the house and exploring Salento. Gallipoli and Lecce are definitely worth a visit. We can only recommend to stay at this beautiful place and would definitely come back one day!
