Palazzo Stasi provides a most attractive experience of the coast of Salento.
The location overlooking the bay is fantastic. Observing the changing colours of the sea and the twilight on the facades is an enthralling experience. It was really easy to enjoy the small beach just in front of the house, and to get into the amazing natural reserve of Porto Selvaggio.
The flat is huge and airy, and it feels like a scene from 'Il gattopardo' (The leopard).
The kitchen is fully equipped and endowed with new and functional appliances. All detergents are provided, as well as all basic items for cooking (salt, spices, etc.).
We particularly appreciated the huge private terrace and the private garden. They are a real jewel as a private retreat from the busy life along the coast.
On a few minor points, one feels that the place has lived its history. If you like IKEA-style and pharmacy-like settings, refrain from going there.
Monica, Leonardo and family have been lovely hosts and provided us with everything we needed, from tips on restaurants to playing cards.
