This stylish villa is the kind of place I want to keep a secret because it is just so wonderful. Full of swoon-worthy design details, spotlessly clean, comfortable and functional, and luxurious... All this and more make the Pietra Leccese apartment one of the best AirBnB's we've ever stayed in. We were lucky to have the whole complex to ourselves, and spent many hours in the pool (note: it's not heated, but refreshing in the Italian end-of-summer heat), cooking meals in the little kitchen, and eating outside by candlelight. Our one-year-old loved being able to roam in and out of the garden and playing with the resident cat, Nerina. Lucia - the innkeeper of sorts - is a treasure: kind, warm, and entirely service-oriented. She really made our stay, and was around enough to help give us tips on how to explore Salento, but also gave us space and privacy. For those curious about Diso: We were at first unsure about booking because the village of Diso looked like a ghost town, but we were delighted and surprised to find this 'town that time forgot' has so much to offer. It's a beautiful, pastel-colored photographer's paradise, filled with curious and kind residents, and equipped with everything you need: a spectacular fruit and veg shop, an unexpectedly well-stocked grocery (their burrata is fantastic), a few fruit and veg trucks that come by at odd times, a post office with cash machine, a playground, a gas station, and a bakery that became our morning ritual to visit. There are a handful of restaurants, most of which were closed during our stay (note families with small children: almost everything is closed before 19.00/19.30), and two bars, one more a community center for the charming old men of Diso. The region around Diso is outstanding; Menhir Salento's Cantine / Restaurant is a MUST visit. Thank you to kind, super-communicative, and helpful Gaia & Pietro for such a wonderful stay in this little piece of paradise in Salento. We'll be back!
