This fall we had the privilege of spending our family vacation at Tenuta, Dell Alto. From the moment we arrived at this stunning villa, our hosts provided an experience that exceeded expectations. Gabriella, acting on behalf of the owners, was a gracious host and wealth of local information. They facilitated a welcome dinner and breakfast, prepared for us at the villa, a private in-house cooking class, local wine tours and lunches, and was our “go to” for locating local delicacies. The groundskeeper and housekeeper were equally welcoming, delivering freshly laid eggs and local pastries. The wine cellar was well stocked with an impressive selection of local wines. The breathtaking views beyond the infinity pool, coupled with the sprawling vineyards and olive groves and vegetable gardens, allowed us to truly experience the best of Puglia. Located mere minutes from Campi Salentino, cycling distance to the nearest village Squizano, less than an hour from Lecce and several historical seaports and beaches, make this villa a perfect place from which to make day outings. The villa itself is so lovely and spacious, you will undoubtedly find it difficult to leave.
