This is a wonderful place in a beautiful little town called Marina di Novaglie not far from the tip of the Salento Peninsula (the heel of the boot) on the Adriatic coast. Marco, the host, and his family are great people and very welcoming and helpful hosts who will do whatever they can to make your stay what you want it to be. The tiny hamlet has only one tiny store and three restaurants, and these are generally open only in the summer months until early September. The nearest mid-sized town of Corsano is about 2 miles away. The water is pretty perfect for swimming, very clear and a perfect temperature on hot days. There are many other beautiful towns all around if you have a car. The coast is rocky and best traversed with reef shoes or sandals you can swim in. I recommend it highly but not too highly because I want to come back and hope it will not be booked forever!
