We had a fabuluous week at Villa Susanna. Designed in a modern and functional way, but with great attention to the use of local stones and architecture, which give the villa a truly "Salento Style". The gardens and the pool are perfectly laid out and maintained. The BBQ which is on a lower terrace is very practical. The views from the shaded terraces and the gardens are absolutely fanstastic, we couldn't get enough from dawn to dusk. Maria Grazia met us at Torre Pali and directed us to the villa. She gave us lots of practical advices on things to do, restaurants. Grocery shopping is at Torre Pali a quaint little beach town (about 2km downhill), with a great fishmonger, butcher, bakery and fruit and veg stores.
We also found Torre Pali to be a good base to explore the region, from Lecce to Leuca and Gallipoli all accessible through stunning 1h drives.
We would return with great pleasure !
