We absolutely LOVED Villa Rita and Andrea, our host.
The house was clean, comfortable, and quiet. It is located in a condo community that appeared to have evening entertainment (although we never attended). There is plenty of parking.
Villa Rita is conveniently located close to some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Italy. Punta Prosciutto is about a 30 minute drive, but there are closer beaches that are quieter and just as beautiful. It is only about a 20 minute drive from Gallipoli, 30-40 minutes from Lecce, and an hour from Otranto. Much of the coast is legally protected so there isn't a lot of development, which is a big plus. There are supermarkets nearby, by Andrea will tell you (rightfully so!) that you can get incredibly high quality produce straight from the trucks of local fruit and vegetable sellers.
Andrea took very good care of us and was extremely responsive whenever we had questions. He had the place stocked with mineral water as well as a bag of local coffee and a bottle of delicious local olive oil. The day before we left, he even brought us a tray of delicious pasticiotti leccesi, which no one who comes to the area should miss!
We had a wonderful experience at the house and with Andrea and certainly plan to return!
