Le Specchie is a wonderful agriturismo in the Itira Valley. It's lovely owners Lori and Lello are very warm and hospitable. We were treated to a welcome bottle of wine, their own produce, and snacks. They also farm almonds, apricots and pears and olive oil (damn those travel restrictions)! Lello is a classically trained pianist and will gladly play for you, Lori too may pitch in. it's a beautiful thing! Lello also makes a mean aperol spritz. Poolside is lovely, so relaxing, the trees provide ample cover from the searing heat (July). There are pesky flies around but this is the countryside and you'll get used to them but be prepared. The main house and trullis are built/renovated to a truly outstanding level and in beautiful surroundings. There is no air conditioning but Lello did provide a fan, which did the job and you can open the windows as the mosquito guards at the windows do a great job. You'll need a car, we hired ours before we left and collected at the airport, easy. The track leading to the agriturismo is a bumpy one but it makes for an adventure. The local town of Ceglie Messapica is worth a venture for a wonder and dinner, good local food. Breakfast is croissants and jams and cake, if however, there were a few extra choices i.e. cererals, fruit, yogurt, etc. then that would be the icing on the cake! We really enjoyed our stay, thank you Lori & Lello!
