Giuseppe was waiting to greet us when we arrived and throughout our stay in the apartment in Via Roma, he was the most charming, warm and friendly host. The apartment adjoins the main Salento Guesthouse and is a beautiful, unique and historic building in the centre of the town. Giuseppe prepared wonderful breakfasts each morning in the courtyard and we felt privileged to learn stories from him about his home. The location is perfect for exploring the Salento region and Carpignano itself is a friendly unspoilt town, full of history.
