My cousin and I stayed at Alessandro's property and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were sorry that our stay was too short and would have loved to stay longer however our itinerary didn't permit it. We were greeted by Alessandro's mother, Paola, who was extremely helpful and delightful indeed. The property was extremely clean, very comfortable and had every amenity we needed. For us it was a home away from home. As part of the experience, we were made to feel very welcomed by the local ladies, who in the evening would gather outside their front door, on the opposite side of the road, to enjoy in the fresh summer breeze. These hospitable ladies welcomed us to sit with them, chat and offered us food. I highly recommend Alessandro's place for the aforementioned reasons and also because Sannicola is close to many beaches and historical towns in the Salento area. We have every intention to one day return.
