We had a wonderful stay at Christina-Ann and Mario's place with our children. The house is fantastic (rooms are really nice), the pool really enjoyable, and the garden impeccably maintained. All very private and secluded. Mario and Christina have been great and welcoming hosts, really discrete and non-intrusive, although they live upstairs. They are always ready to help.
Cannole itself is really remote and does not have a lot to offer, as it’s amazingly quiet, although the center shops can provide all you can possibly need. There are also good dining options, especially a restaurant names Naif, where we went several times. No need to drive to go to the center, but a car is definitely a must have not only to reach the place itself but also to discover the beauties of Salento. Beaches, although numerous, are really really packed in August, so you may prefer exploring cities/towns (Lecce, Otranto, and Gallipoli) at this time of the year. But all and all, this makes the pool even more pleasant! We definitely recommend. Have a great stay there 
