We stayed at Sergio's beautiful house for a couple of weeks and just absolutely loved everything about it We had both the top and bottom apartments and it worked so well having our friends to stay one week and and our extended family the next.
We just loved the location, so quiet and also with the private sea swimming below. I termed it the biggest private swimming pool in the world! We swam every day and even when it was a little windy the plunge pool on top of the cliff was just the ticket.
The house is stunning, large and so comfortable and well set up.
We also loved Castro and the ability to walk up to the old village every day, enjoy a coffee or drink in the local piazza. Also getting to know the lovely locals in the mercato and other local shops for supplies.
For a relaxing stay put in Italy on the coast you couldn't find better.
Santa Maria de Leuca in the south is only 45 minutes along a delightful coast road and Otranto in the north is a mere 25 minutes away. Also the delightful small beaches and coves for swimming along the way! So much to explore and enjoy!
Dealing with Sergio was so easy and he answered all our queries within minutes it seemed, even though we were on the other side of the world when we started communicating by email. We will be going back!! Thank you Sergio and we'd love to return the favour by hosting you and your beautiful family in New Zealand sometime!
