I had high expectations for Dory’s place based on the photos and reviews and even my high expectations were exceeded! Everything was truly perfect, from meeting Dory and having her take me to the house, to the special touches she left to welcome me (local breads and pastries, a beautiful bowl of fruit, coffee, a bottle of sparkling wine), to the cleanliness of the home and the amazing views, it was an unbelievable two weeks! I asked Dory if she could find a crib for my 2 year old grandson and she not only left a crib but a high chair and lots of toys! Dory has a very knowledgeable person, Federico, from bookSalento, who speaks great English and who met with me to find out what we like and what activities we wanted to do and then he made great recommendations and booked reservations for us. Because of Federico’s recommendations, I was able to attend a local evening festival with music, food and crafts, a local Saturday market where we loaded up on delicious fresh produce, fish, breads etc. and a religious festival in a small town where we were the only non- Italians! We took a great boat ride to explore all the caves and went to beaches that only locals know about!
The dynamic duo of Dory and Federico provided a once in a lifetime experience for us and I wish I could give more stars than 5!!
