If I had to describe my experience in one word: unique.
My first Airbnb holiday experience was truly one of a kind thanks to Luca and his wonderful place.
This spot is like a hidden gem, located on top of the hill in Alessano as it absolutely exceeded my expectations!
Luca renovated his family owned Masseria, build by an old Priest, with so much care and respect. I appreciate it when someone has great knowledge regarding the history of the area and the building itself.
If you are looking for a unique getaway to enjoy the slow-paced Salento lifestyle incl. tranquility and picturesque views, this is the place to be.
It's equipped with all the necessary facilities like fast WiFi, which is rare in the region. So you don't even need to leave the house, but when you do I recommend renting a car!
Salento is a somewhat hilly area and public transportation doesn't run frequently, especially to reach more secluded locations.
Masseria delle Rose is a perfect location to plan road trips for sightseeing or leisure as everything is fairly nearby. There are many beaches and beautiful villages to explore as well.
Not to mention Luca is a super friendly host who is well connected in the area and makes sure each guest will have a tailor-made experience.
During my short stay, I had the opportunity to gain some insight knowledge of Puglia whilst enjoying the true Salento way of living.
Thank you so much, Luca for your kindness and the amazing holiday experience. We hope to see you again soon :)
P.S. For the foodie-travelers out there. You might need a pair of expandable stretchy pants for the extra pounds on your flight back home! You can absolutely trust Luca's fine taste in food!!
