The house is located at walking distance from the Frascone beach and on the way down to the beach you can swim in a fresh water small lake 100 meters away from the sea that is formed by underwater rivers. The latters also enter the sea under the rocks and form streams of fresh water mixed with warmer sea water in kind of pools on the beach. Very interesting.
The apartment has comfortable beds in two rooms with airconditioned, that can really be of help in the warmest Summer days. The bathrooms is large and practical with a nice shower.
The kitchen at the entrance is also large and with a view on the surroundings and to the sea. Outside there is a table with chairs and cheminee where you can enjoy cool air in the evenings and breathtaking sunsets.
We have found nice seasides at walking distance, as well as just a few minutes South by car at the famous Porto Selvaggio and few minutes North by car at Porto Cesareo with the famous Torre Lapillo and Punta Prosciutto. Plenty of small beaches everywhere in between.
Nardo is worth a visit, particularly at night time with the illuminated buildings and people on the streets, in bars restaurants. We have visited a lot of small towns and cities around Salento.
Santa Maria al Bagno, Gallipoli, Leuca, Porto Badisco, Otranto, Lecce and many others small burgs along the coast (both on the Ionio and Adriatico sides) and inland.
Also worth a visit to the Produttori Vini Manduria, where you can find a very interesting underground museum and taste the great Primitivo di Manduria (same DNA as Zinfandel), the Negroamaro and the Primitivo del Salento. All excellent wines.
What however made our trip really very special, was the friendliness with which we were welcomed and accompanied during our stay by Ely and Vincenzo and the many suggestions and attentions they reserved to us and the kids during the whole time we spent at the Nido del Salento.
Really special and interesting people. We definitely need to go back again :-) !!!
