Roger and Birgit have been exceptional hosts. They welcomed us warmly and they took excellent care of their guest. Birgit also gave us fresh eggs from their chickens. We felt at home. The location was great for us. It's in the middle of olive tree fields of Salento and at night you are far from noises and you hear only crickets under the stars. The veranda is large, shady and comfortable, we always ate outside, from breakfast to dinner. There is a wonderful shower outside that we will always remember. It's beautiful to shower under the blue sky in the country side. You are in the middle of Salento: in 20-30 minutes you can reach beaches. And you are close to great places, like Lecce, Galatina, Corigliano where there is a beautiful castle, etc. Remember to visit Gallipoli, very touristic but an important historical place. In general it seems to us that the Ionic coast is warmer and more humid than the Adriatic coast. Enjoy the wonderful popular music of Salento, that can be found in several places nearby. (ps. do not play Rummy card games (Ramino?) with Birgit, she always wins, but at least she gives you chocolate if you loose.)
