Manuelas place is simply great. Located in the national park and close to the woods of Foresta Mercadante, the huge garden with barbeque and pool invites to take a break and enjoy the silence far from noisy cities. The entire compound is very well looked after, with many nice details one discovers throughout the stay.
Manuela received us with a homemade cake and many recommendations for the area.
In the Foresta Mercadante, only about 15 (car)minutes away, different easy to find trekking ways can be walked and in the village (Cassano), Osteria delle Palme da Mimmo Stefy offers amazing local food.
All in all: absolute recommendation!
