Lucrezia’s place is a perfect midpoint from Bari to Lecce to explore the most charming towns of Puglia but the experience staying here was amazing regardless of that.
As soon as you arrive, you see hundreds of olive trees and fruit trees. Lucrezia welcomed me into her kitchen, watching her making focaccia, which were then baked in a forno a legno (wood fired oven) outside, and served with olives which were picked and cooked right there. It was the most delicious olive oil I’ve ever had and the hosts took me to learn how it’s made.
Lucrezia and her husband treated us like we were their family, but also respected our privacy. A truly lovely stay!
