This house is perfection. It is as gorgeous as the photos suggest and then some. We loved every minute of our stay. Parabita is an excellent base for exploring Puglia. You won’t run into many (any?) non-Italians there. Yet it has a few very nice restaurants, excellent bakeries and food shops, and easy access to the beaches and wineries/olive groves/masserias of Salento. The home is well equipped for cooking and barbecuing with an idyllic terrace for al fresco eating. All the bedrooms are huge, and the hosts are as gracious as can be. They greeted us with a home baked batch of pasticciottos, and were always available to answer our questions and offer tips for where to go. We can’t wait to return.
