Before staying at Laurita's place, I hadn't even heard of Matino. This was our first time in Salento and we hired a car to explore. Matino proved a very good base to explore the region away from the crowds in August. The apartment itself is quite beautiful with an authentic rustic charm. As guests, we had access to a private terrace, which was the perfect place for dinner or apéro. Laurita's hospitality was flawless from beginning to end. Highly recommended!
