Part of the charm of this house is the construction that reflects Salento’s style, using all local stone and material. It has a loft style living room with a fire place and a big table that can sit 10. There are 3 bedrooms located on two floors with 2 bathrooms. In the dining room there is also a sofa bed for 2 people.There is also a fully equipped kitchen.
The courtyard is equipped with a table that seats 6, for outside meals and a BBQ. This area has beautiful orange and lemon trees that keep the shade during the summer nights.
The position of the house gives all guests the possibility to meet the local people, always very warm with foreigners.

Also, although this part of Italy is very quiet, it is good to know that the location of the house offers its guests a very secure environment. The summer nights are normally cool and dry, full of pleasant scents. The silence of the place is quite impressive even on the busiest August nights.

The Puglia/Molise region

Puglia is in the south of Italy, a region surrounded by the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea.It' s famous
for ancient history, the ruins of Greek and Romans temples and prehistoric monuments; for the marvellous rocky and sandy beaches, the beautiful and unique baroque style of its cities, and for the fertile land that gives oil and wine of excellent quality.

Penisola Salentina is rich with incredible towns: Lecce is the most famous. You can visit the castle, the marvellous churches of Santa Croce and Chiesa del Rosario and the Palazzo Vescovile. It's nice to see the market on Mondays and Fridays around the central Piazza St Oronzo, with local produce and ceramics from Grottaglie, the original home of terracotta. Lecce by night is amazing.
