Our stay at Francesca's was truly special.

We stayed 10 nights and the flat was perfect for us. The best parts...eating at the table on the patio looking out to the sea, walking 20 meters from our door to the sea - where you can easily swim in crystal clear water, and taking short day trips to explore small towns in the region. It is best to have a car to get around. We rented a car in Lecce and drove to Capilungo for our stay.

The flat was clean and charming with everything we needed. Francesca had the refrigerator stocked when we arrived with cold water and local snacks. We arranged for breakfast a few mornings and Francesca brought us delicious pastries, local bread, and cappuccinos. It was lovely!!
Also, we were there during a heatwave and the bedroom air conditioner kept us very comfortable.

The flat is in a local seaside neighborhood, not near large resort/hotels. We were surrounded by Italian families, both local and on holiday. We loved it!

But the absolute best was meeting Francesca! She is truly a genuine person, warm and kind. We felt like friends and neighbors and we wanted to move right in!! We also learned more about the Salento region and she gave us many good recommendations for the area.

We feel like we have a friend in Salento now and that is truly special to us. Thank you Francesca, I can't wait to return!
