Alessandra has created a wonderful home to share with travelers wishing to experience the beauty of the Salento. She offers beautiful rooms plus an expansive terrace in the heart of Nardo and accents them with lovely textiles. Beatrice, the person that greeted us, was patient, informative and always available.

The apartment is stocked with beautiful dishes and table clothes but only just passable cooking pots and pans, the knives look great but could not cut a tomato. This was the only drawback in the experience of living in this beautiful apartment. We are travelers that like to shop local products and cook them in the style of the region which is apparently rare in today's world of travel. We consider food the key to understanding a city or province.

The apartment was more beautiful than the photographs suggest, furniture has been switched up with her other property in Nardo. We enjoyed the neighbor, Gina, and followed her suggestions on local beaches and towns. It was a lovely 6 night stay for us.
