Franco's home was absolutely gorgeous. Just perfect. Impeccable design. The home had a beautiful sense of place with all the updated, modern amenities. Every piece had a story and we felt like we were truly experiencing the Salento and Puglia. Most importantly though, was Franco. He made us feel like we had come home. He was so warm, so loving and so welcoming. He provided us with the best, 'local' recommendations of what to do and see and where to eat. He even brought us to a beautiful dinner party in his friend's lovely estate. We couldn't have asked for a better host, a better home or a better experience. Franco, we miss you already!
