Marco was a very friendly and accomodating host, who welcomed us with some fresh fruit and vegetables. He was very helpful with anything we needed and answered any questions we had promptly, but he also left us entirely to ourselves when his assistance wasn't required. The area is beautiful. From the roof of the little villa you can see the ocean, great place for apperativo or to read a book in peace. Marina di Novaglie is a quiet town, with a nice rock beach 30 metres from the house. There is a barbecue as well as the kitchen and the ingredients at most Italian supermarkets are incredibly fresh. We rarely ate out. The nearest super market is in Gagliano del Capo, called Sigma. A short drive to tourist attractions such as the Ponte Ciolo, Santa Maria di Leuca, Galipoli, and the natural pools of Marina Serra. Make sure to visit the Grotta Verde caves in Marina di Andrano, and the 'secret' (amongst tourists) beach behind Santa Cesarea Terme (you can find it behind the parking lot of Summer Club 19). Definitely recommend getting a car to get around. Couldn't recommend this place more. Plenty of opportunity to relax, sight see and immerse yourself in the pleasures of the region.
