We just left Le Marocce after a one week vacation. it is located at the edge of the small village of Spongano on a big piece of land surrounded by stone walls. The garden is beautiful, cared for by Claudio, who stops by every day early in the morning to water and clean the pool. He was also available for any question we had.
The pajara is very comfortable, detached from the house and very private. In the main house we used the three bedrooms on the ground floor. Each bedroom has a bathroom so the 6 of us had plenty of privacy. The kitchen has everything to cook meals at home, even two fridges, and is set up for big families - the dining table seats at least 10 people. Everything is very clean.
Because of its location, you'll need a car, but the sea is not far (remember to bring your own beach towels because they are not provided). We were able to visit a lot of places in Salento during the day and then come back and enjoy the peace of the garden and the pool. The internet works only in the main house and, as in a lot of other places in Italy, is not very strong.
In the rent you pay, the electricity is included up to a point. After that, you pay the difference. Even if we used air conditioning only one night in one room, we were away most of the day, and we made sure to turn off lights that were not needed, we still incurred in additional significant charges at the end of the week (160 Euro).
I definitely recommend this place because of the location, the incredible garden, and the peace. Thank you Simona!
