We had a really nice time staying at Portacrànni Bed & breakfast! Alberto helped us check in to the apartment on our arrival. The apartment is really nice, clean and exactly as described in the listing. It had everything you would expect from a self-contained holiday home with plenty of living space and a pretty private outdoor area to relax during the day or night. There is a secure space to park the car just outside the apartment. The apartment is a short distance from a clean stretch of beautiful sandy beach and the neighbourhood is quiet and nice.

Although we didn't avail of the breakfast service we were treated to some delicious homemade “Ciambella” (orange and chocolate cake) made by Alberto’s mum, a complimentary bottle of red wine from the local “Primitivo di Manduria” winery, plus fresh figs collected from the fig tree in the garden just outside the apartment. Judging by how delicious the cake was, we are pretty sure the breakfast option would have been great.

Alberto made us really feel at home. In fact, the generous and warm welcome we received was one of the highlights of our stay in the region, exactly the kind of hospitality that makes Puglia such a wonderful place. Having enjoyed the wine left for us in the flat, we decided to go on the Primitivo winery museum tour and wine tasting session in Manduria. Alberto very kindly booked this for us at short notice. He also acted as our guide and showed us around the historical center of Manduria during which we were accompanied by his girlfriend and his two delightful little cousins. All in all, it was a very special day for us, spent seeing the sights of Manduria with our gracious hosts.

We would highly recommend Portacrànni Bed & breakfast and we wish we could have stayed for a longer period! Hopefully we can make it back again soon and see more of this magical part of Italy. Don’t hesitate in booking this apartment, you won't be disappointed.
