The Villa is located halfway Castro old town and the Zinzulusa cave: the 1st is easily reachable with a 10-mins walk uphill, while the 2nd can be accessed easily by feet or from the sea.
Sergio didn't greet us personally, but he was very warm and available to give us advices before the holiday, and to wish us a pleasant trip back on the leaving day: so here we are!
The house is an authentic masterpiece, with natural rock floor everywhere, on 2 levels: as a group of 10 young friends, we could easily fit and feel very comfortable in each of the 5 rooms.
Main kitchen's well equipped with 2 fridges, 1 dishwasher, 1 washing machine, a big oven and an ice machine - there's basically everything you need, and more.
Bathrooms (4) are well designed and very rustic, as such a house commands.
There's a big patio outside the top floor: spot for unforgettable breakfasts in front of the sunrise and dinners all together. In one of the house's corners, there's a BBQ to grill meat and fish.
Downhill a few steps, walking through the garden, you get to the second terrace: the swimming pool's one. Despite being not so big (huge Jacuzzi size), it could easily accommodate all of us.
And here we come to the area we liked the most: the sea access. Now, being all of us much into diving from cliffs, Sergio's house offered a amazing fun park, just 3 mins down the villa. Bring some sneakers with you and the walk will be comfortable. As said before, from his small dock you can also swim towards the Zinzulusa cave.
Wifi is very powerful and the house comes with 2 Bluetooth radios, one of which is waterproof and can be hence used also around the pool.
Only two small cons, but understandable given the size and the position of the house: water pressure is low, so you may have very few water flowing from the showers if all the 4 bathrooms are in use. You can also experience blackouts if several appliances are working at the same time - but no need of many lights under the beautiful Salento stars
