Paolo's house is a lovely home and provides a good central base of operations for traveling around Salento. Paolo was very attentive in communicating with us before arrival. When we arrived, Elsa was incredibly welcoming and hospitable. She showed us everything we needed in the apartment, and then brought us over to her fantastic restaurant (Alogne), which is not to be missed. Cursi is charming and we had a delightful stay. Definitely recommend.
