Claudia is an amazing host! Any requests were answered within minutes and the apartment was very clean. The apartment is located in the very beautiful historical centre of Matino. The design and furniture of the house is very pretty and thoughtully arranged, which gives you a very warm and cozy homely feeling right away. The Salento beaches with their crystal clear waters (Carribean style) are only 10-15 minutes by car. The picturesque town center is like a romantic little time capsule but all the amenities are nearby. The local fruit dealer comes by the house with his tiny motor cart every day. Our favorites were cooking on the roof terrace, watching the sun go down and to taking showers under a perfect blue Mediterranean sky! It was a very relaxing vacation and we hope to be back soon.
