We spent three wonderful weeks at this property. The host was very responsive, punctual and great in offering very helpful advice about the region, beaches, restaurants and things to do. The house is very clean, spacious (it can easily accommodate six people) and it offers a lot of privacy, as there are no other adjacent properties. Inside, the house is simple but tastefully decorated. Among the facilities, we were very pleased to be able to use the excellent barbecue that the host was kind to encourage us to use. The house is located in the middle of a larger terrain with pine trees, olives, citrus and fig trees. Our stay was in September, which meant that upon arrival the terrain was very dry (which is very normal for the end of the summer overall in South Italy), but after a few showers the nature on the property became green. The property is located in a rural location between several towns and villages, which means it is quiet, except occasionally when events are held in one of the villages nearby or when airplanes from the nearby military base fly close by. None of this was truly disturbing and generally the location is quiet. Also, the tall trees and the cute little church nearby masked effectively the proximity (about 2 km) of a large cement factory nearby, which is prominent in the landscape when one approaches the property on the main roads, but otherwise invisible (and inaudible) from the property itself. The nearest beaches are about a 25-30 minutes drive and the nearby towns are villages offer plenty of good and well-priced restaurants. The place is a good location to explore Salento, including Lecce and Gallipoli . People interested to travel futher north should realise anything beyond Brindisi is more than one hour driving. All-in-all a great house where we spent a lovely time. Very good value for money!
