This villa is fantastic. A pool bigger than some hotels, in a white walled garden of fruit trees. It’s surreal.
Went here as a group of 5 and it was comfortable. Kitchen and BBQ area are great for cooking and having a few drinks. Ida was a great communicator, with great English and always available on WhatsApp if we had a question.
I would say you need a car, and if you want lively atmosphere head to Lecce, except on a weekend when San Cataldo does get a *bit* livelier. We had a problem with our car hire so walked to San Cataldo for shopping every day. Probably a 35 minute walk in the heat. We’re strapping young lads though so it was fine.
