The host made us feel welcome with a bottle of prosecco and some local bread snacks. This was a nice touch and we enjoyed both thank you. The apartment is very spacious and clean and we were very lucky to have the whole four apartment complex to ourselves so were able to enjoy the pool and outside dining area but we feel that it would be fair to let people know that pool area is covered by a CCTV camera.

Racale is a quiet and charming town that has a number of nice restaurants and we were also very happy to be invited to a wine tasting at the back of the wine shop where there was food and live music. The lovely beaches of Salento aren't far away and a day trip to Gallipoli is a must do. In fact, Racale is in an excellent position to explore in all directions and we can recommend the accommodation.
