I stayed at Adriana's Uliveta for 2 weeks and had a great experience. The house is located just outside of the town of Cutrofiano in the beautiful countryside, giving the feeling of seclusion while being very close (walking distance) to conveniences such as supermarkets, pharmacy, bank etc. Very central within Salento also, so an easy 25-30 minute drive to incredible beaches on either coast.
Easy check in with Dori and Gigliola, who live close by and were very attentive making sure everything was OK with the house via whatsapp and we were finding our way easily. Adriana was also incredibly fast at getting back to me with practical questions.
The house is spacious and clean although the second bed is a little small for 2 people (Will keep this in mind if I ever came back with friends or family). I found the house a little humid inside as I was not running the AC but leaving all the doors open helped a lot. Kitchen well equipped and we even cooked outside on the fire.
Spent many mornings reading on the terrace and evenings outside at the large table watching the sun set while the local farmers finished up their daily work and I cooked dinner. A real treat to stay here and I look forward to staying again soon!
