Our stay was great! The house was everything we were expecting and a bit more, to be honest. The pictures accurately depict what the house looks like.
We thought it would be a one bedroom location, but it's actually a house with two bedrooms with two queen sized beds and each bedroom has access to its own private bathroom. The master suite has been more fully renovated, but the other bedroom is also nice. The living room area offers a great family dining room table and a couch (which we think also pulls out into a bed). There is a fully equipped kitchen and a great balcony.
We had been to Salento the year before and this year we wanted a home with lots of light. This home had plenty of light! The only downside for us was that the area has a lot of mosquitoes! Laura was great- she offered repellents (several kinds) and told us what we could do to minimize the bugs... they are super tiny and you can barely see them. We got bitten a lot and learned we had an allergy to their bites. After we found this out, we were able to buy some antihistamine to address the issue. Laura's dad even came to the house to help us with what to do when spraying the home and to explain that windows and doors had to remain shut. He was a very helpful man-very kind and thoughtful.
Laura also supplied us with adapters for the plugs so that we could plug in our chargers. That was very kind of her to go above and beyond to help us! A big highlight for us was that the home also offered beach chairs and a beach umbrella, which we took with us to the beach ever day. We love that Corsano is so close to the fabulous southern tip of the boot! The Strada panorâmica to Leuca is stunning and we recommend taking it every time! There is a beautiful location on the way called Ciollo which has breathtaking views and definitely worth the stop! This home is perfect if you want to travel around the region, stay in an affordable location, be in a secluded area, but still enjoy the charm of being in Italy! We recommend it as a base location for allowing you to explore. you most definitely need a car and should not plan on staying in the town because it doesn't have much to offer. This is a low key location, simple, and rustic. If you need more of an infrastructure and a more lively location, we would recommend staying in Leuca or Otranto.
We would definitely return! We enjoyed our time and we are convinced that this area is a hidden gem!
