I always take the time to write these, but honestly, I do hope this helps others …. We spent a long time looking at various places to stay in Salento, to make the most of our 10 days. We were two small families — 3 adults and 2 kids under 10. Ceglia Masepica is not a popular place, and this country house is on the outskirts, but it is the perfect location to explore Salento! It’s a small acerage with fruit and nut trees a private drive way and whole property to enjoy. House has three bedrooms, a sitting room which has a futon and single bed (if necessary). Bedrooms are big — 2 kings (very comfortable) with dressers & armoire, childrens room is smaller with bunk-beds & tv. One bathroom with shower & laundry machine — very functional (all supplies included). There are two covered patios — sun shines differently on each (important), kitchen (fully stocked!!) has a separate entrance off back patio — gas stove, electric oven & dishwasher (Miele). There is also an outside BBQ oven (wood burning, with lots of firewood) and sink; additional outside shower and laundry area. No wifi, but decent cell reception to use data. We didn’t use the tvs, but they were new. The place is very tastefully decorated, and Vitalba and her father are next door (they look after the property for Marilena). Both Vitalba and Marilena are super responsive /accommodating & helpful. The tap water is not consumable, but there is plenty of cooking water provided. That is the basic overview; but the place is truly special and very comfortable! Location is great — you can get anywhere in Salento via a super-highway, so you can do the beach, or night market in any location on any day. You do need a car to explore Salento, and you are guaranteed to have some rain but what an amazing place to start from in the heart of it all!! Very highly recommended.
