Francesca’s home was simple and clean and just what one would want for a good holiday. The location was great though the beach there was a little overcrowded most of the time and not as clean as other nearby beaches which are also amazing. The house was a little small and the children’s bedroom without a an external facing window was a little hot at times and hard to air out from cooking. We were with a small child of 16 months hence had to be home a lot during the hot days and the only down side was the lovely terrace which had very little shade (one umbrella over the table) and was hard to use as facing the sun all day. Most homes have a patio with full shade and that makes them easier to stay in during the hot hours. However this would not have been an issue if my child was older and could be out at the beach for longer. The kitchen was equipped with basics - we cooked every day - and the shower works super well which is a blessing at the beach. We were given water and some fruit and veggies upon arrival which was thoughtful and lovely. The area is great and with amazing beaches for families. All in all we had a great stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a special holiday away from routine - but knowing that it is a small space. Some extra tips about restaurants and shopping would have been helpful at the beginning of our stay as this is an area where it is not so obvious to find things quickly. With a small child it was not a little tricky. But this would be extra. Everything that was said was there. Thank you Francesca as Salento will be on my list for future destinations!
