Laura’s family home is a true gem. Our mouths dropped when we saw the place for the first time: the roof terraces, the beautiful stone walkways, the olive tree grove, the enormous flowering rosemary bushes, views of the Adriatic, Albania in the distance, the buzzing bees, the long table for dinners with an unbelievable view. By what divine luck had we found this place? Laura’s wonderful mother met us at the house and gave us a tour. The home is most impressive with its outside features, its location and beauty, but the interiors are definitely well thought out and suitable for cooking in its small kitchen, which was perfectly fine. Because of this beautiful location, we definitely opted to stay in and cook to take advantage of the views and location. Laura was always in communication via email. She also gave local tips for places to see or restaurants in the area. There are so many places to see in the area that are so unique, eg Canale Del Ciolo. We had a beach day at Maldive del Salento (Pescoluse), which i highly recommend. Thank you Laura, thank you Anna. We hope to return one day :)
