We were on a vacation with 13 family members and a close friend. We came from New York, Toronto, Idaho and Italy. There were three generations of us and the entire week at Casa del Tobacco exceeded our expectations. The house was spacious, interesting, well maintained and perfect for our needs. The swimming pool got lots of use particularly from the four children.
Arturo was a genial and gracious host who gave us lots of information on this part of Puglia. His recommendations for restaurants, beaches, towns and nearby grottoes were just excellent. There is far more to do than we had time for particularly since just hanging out on our patio or in the pool took up a leisurely part of each day. Our trips to Lecce, Ortanto, Santa Maria Cesarea Terme and other nearby places were all fascinating and special. We even enjoyed walking 5 minutes into town for coffee at the local bars.
When we finally packed up to leave we were all quite sad. Thanks to Arturo and casa del Tobacco for an unforgettable stay.
