Simona’s home is absolutely gorgeous, situated in the center of a charming old world Italian village and only a 15 minute drive from the Adriatic coast. Three floors, three beds, three bathrooms a cozy kitchen, patio, and rooftop deck for watching the stars. Simona is a lovely host and can communicate the basics in English, she also has a daughter who is a linguist, so the language barrier is no problem. She was generous with check in time and gave excellent recommendations of things to see and do on the coast and in M. Leccese. Nice restaurants in town (the pizzeria was fabulous and so was the gelato place). Perfect as a home base for seeing both coasts of Puglia (by car, though taxi and public transport could probably also be just barely doable). Can not recommend this place highly enough. We will definitely return here on our next trip to Puglia! Thanks, Simona!
