Beautiful


We had a week in this amazing house, 10 of us comprising parents and adult sons, daughters and partners. The house is really beautiful, historic, and very well cared for and very special. We loved the outside space, it was perfect for us - the large terrace where we ate breakfast, the large patio beside the pool where we did our yoga each morning, the pool and pavement around it to sunbathe and the garden where we chilled and played boules in late afternoon. It was great to be able to walk out in the evening to a choice of bars and restaurants, and to explore during the day if we wished in cars for which there was also plenty of parking space on site. A fabulous house in the centre of the town, and Maria was so helpful and kind. A beautiful memorable time for us in Poggiardo.

Such bliss...


We spent most of the summer of 2018 at this amazing home in Poggiardo. It makes an outstanding home base to explore Salento! First, Poggiardo is a perfect town to call \"home\" in Salento. The people are welcoming, the town is not pretentious or touristy, most things are walkable for your daily needs. You can easily have coffee and pastry, explore local streets and shops, fix lunch al fresco at the villa, and then dine out deliciously in any number of great restaurants just steps from your door. Then head for the coast -- most of Salento\'s beaches are an easy day trip. Do you want rocky pools or sandy stretches? Maria can answer any particular questions you have. There are many free beaches within 30 mins as well as numerous \"Lido\" establishments that offer a range of amenities for a fee. The nearby towns are breathtaking. You can wander happily for hours with some new charm around every corner. We especially loved Castro and Lecce. Most have great choices for Salento cuisine -- with crazy fresh ingredients from the nearby sea and farms. We even made a day trip up to explore Trulli country -- also amazing. The driving is easy and parking is manageable for free or for a small fee (paid at a kiosk with cash or card). The house is more amazing than the photos show. It is spacious, and it offers everyone someplace to relax. Maria and Andrea have done such a tasteful job throughout. We frequently had a houseful (including children) and made the most of the pool and all the outdoor spaces. Maria and Andrea respond immediately to questions or concerns you may have. They are committed to being great hosts and sharing this spectacular part of the world with visitors. Stay longer than you think you should. There is so much to enjoy.
