Davide is an amazing host and met us on arrival with a box of local goodies to get us started, maps of the local area and a map of the village to orientate ourselves (incl. recommendations for restaurants and cafes). The village is lovely, very authentic and we didn’t hear a word of English during our whole stay (except when our Italian wouldn’t stretch sufficiently!). I would 100% recommend. We really enjoyed Porto Badisco (only 10 mins drive) with the kids, and also loved Lecce and Otranto (Otranto is especially great if you have kids as you have the town for a little shopping and eating, and a beach 5 mins stroll from the town centre). We also visited Gallipoli, Torre dell Orso and Sant Andrea. There is so much to do, we stayed for a week but you could easily fill two weeks or longer! Thank you Davide!
