We had an amazing time at Marco's place. It is located right in the heart of Cerfignano (which is about 5-10minutes to Santa Cesarea by car) - a small village where you would not do any sightseeing, but where you can live the real Salento life :)
There are several small shops like the local caffé, pizzeria and supermarket which are all equally wonderful! (try the mozzarella and prosciutto at the local supermarket, as well as the cappucino and pasticetto at the local caffé!), and the streets and caffé are marvelous to watch and meet Cerfignano locals, who were all equally nice! We had lots of discussions with senior people in the village (who did not speak a word of English, while we did not speak a word of Italian!), the neighbours, etc. It was a lot of fun.
The house itself is large, with high ceilings, very nicely decorated. The double bed is very comfy. The bathroom is perfect. The house has a terrace on the roof where you can enjoy aperitivo while watching the neighbourhood :)
Last but not least, Marco was the kindest host you could find: extremely prompt to answer any query, fix any issue, he also found a baby cot and basin for us.
Definitely recommended.
