Li Carlucci is a small paradise in a beautiful region. Cristina, Mario and their daughters are the best hosts you can wish. It was a pity we couldn't communicate better with them due to our limited Italian and their limited English. We loved their dog Aron and one of the cats who often stopped by to greet us. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and very clean. After a day on the busy beach or after a day of sight-seeing we enjoyed to relax near the pool in the extremely beautiful and quiet garden. There is so much to see in the region, you need more than one holiday to see everything. We highly recommend Lecce, Maglie, Bari, Gallipoli, Otranto and the coastal road from Otranto to Santa Maria de Leuca. The nice sandy beach at Laghi Alimini is a 15 minute drive, but you can also go for a swim in the beautiful bay of Porto Badisco or near the scenic rocks of Torre Sant' Andrea.
We often prepaired a simple dinner in the rather basically equipped kitchen and thoroughly enjoyed having our dinner in the garden. If you don't want to cook there are nice restaurants in Cannole and surroundings.
We had a wonderful holiday in Salento and hope to be back. Thank you very much Mario, Cristina Anna, Marianna and Martina!
