We did not know the region upfront so dis not know what to expect. The area as well as Sara’s house was truly the best surprise! The house was much more spacious that we had expected, with a large living , kitchen with eating area and 3 large bedrooms. However , we spent most if our time in the yard, which is beautiful with the old olive trees and fruit trees and it’s many terraces where for every time of day we found a perfect spot to have breakfast, lunch, drinks or dinner. Upon arrival we had dinner at the neighboring place, a surprisingly nice agriturismo with a courtyard restaurant with delicious local food.
The area was also very nice, we found a beautiful bay with the clearest water and coolest rock to dive from. At driving distance from Lecce, the coastal roads and small Italian villages we could have easily spent much more time here. Thanks to Sara and the hospitality of her father we had a great vacation in Pulgia.
