We really loved staying at Giuseppe's place. The apartment was spacious and clean and literally in the centre of the old town. The location was perfect for exploring the southern part of Puglia - an easy drive to the lovely seaside town of Otranto and all the beaches to the north and south, as well as easy drives to the atmospheric larger towns of Lecce and Gallipoli. Carpignano Salentino is a very small village so it was easy to park and drive to.
One of the highlights of our stay was the amazing breakfasts that Giuseppe and Suzannah prepared for us - crepes, fritatas, fresh fruit, croissants, pastries, and an amazing fig tart. We even had a chocolate torte one morning!
We can highly recommend this place especially if you want to stay away from the touristy beachside towns.
