The house is exactly as described, meaning modern and brand new. We highly appreciated being warmly greeted when we arrived and found the house to be extremely clean. Moreover, we were offered minimal supplies to survive the hot August day (water, juices, beer etc.). The beaches in the vecinity are amazing, with the nearby pine dunes at Padula Bianca being very easy to reach. Gallipoli and Lecce are very nice for dinner and a walk and also easy to reach. We also had a good experience with Li Papi Agriturismo in Galatone offering dining in the garden - a fixed menu of local specialities. The only small downside is the busy road nearby, but the noise level is rather acceptable.
