We really enjoyed our stay in Francesca's apartment. Francesca and her family are lovely people and made us feel very welcome in their home. They live upstairs in a totally separate apartment and were always available if we ever needed anything, but they were never intrusive and totally respected our privacy. They graciously invited us to their own home one night for drinks and also gave us some delicious homemade marmelade to take home with us, so it was truly a special Airbnb experience. She even baked us a delicious chocolate cake when we arrived. The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated and much bigger than we expected. We also loved having our own big private terrace for dining outside. Parking was very easy in front of the entrance and Patu is a great location for exploring Salento. There was also a helpful booklet in english with good recommendations of places to see and restaurants in the area. The next time we are in the area, we will definitely stay with Francesca and her family.
