What guests say
Guests consistently praise the warm hospitality and dedication of the hosts, Antonella and Raffaele, who go out of their way to make everyone feel at home. The property is set in peaceful countryside near Oria, offering spacious, clean, and well-furnished apartments with traditional local architecture. Breakfasts—often generous and homemade—are typically enjoyed in the lovely garden among olive trees. The location is convenient for visiting Oria's historical center and the train station, though having a car is recommended for exploring the area. Some parts of the accommodation lack windows, but this is offset by pleasant outdoor spaces. Overall, excellent value for money, tranquility, and an authentic atmosphere make this a highly recommended choice for a relaxing and genuine Italian experience.

I had the pleasure of spending three days in this comfortable B&B with my family and, following the positive experience, I highly recommend it! An oasis of peace well connected to the various beaches of the Ionian coast! Suite Jolanda is a real gem... Furnished in shabby style, it is welcoming from the start and at the same time elegant! I thank Raffaele for his availability from the first moment and especially for the valuable information provided during the stay! A truly hospitable person and very knowledgeable about his land and the beauties it has to offer! A B&B that enjoys a truly breathtaking view: the castle of Oria stands there, imposing, as a backdrop, and in the evening with the lights everything becomes even more atmospheric! Thanks and enjoy your visit!

Grazie di cuore Alfonso per le splendide parole! Siamo davvero felici che il vostro soggiorno al nostro B&B sia stato così piacevole e che abbiate apprezzato la tranquillità del luogo, la bellezza della suite Jolanda e la vista incantevole sul castello di Oria.

Grazie per la menzione speciale che condivido con mia moglie Antonella, perchè come avete visto, la nostra passione per il territorio e la nostra disponibilità sono il cuore pulsante dell’ospitalità che vogliamo offrire. Recensioni come la vostra ci motivano a fare sempre meglio e ci ricordano quanto sia prezioso condividere momenti autentici con i nostri ospiti. Speriamo di potervi accogliere nuovamente in futuro per un’altra esperienza indimenticabile. Un caro saluto da tutti noi ed un abbraccio a Mattia e Giuseppe!

A beautiful B&B right outside Oria. Walking distance to the center. Very nice apartment with everything you need. Good to know is that there are no windows in the dining area, but that is not needed when you have the nice patio! The part that made this one of the best B&B experiences for me is the hosts! They go way and beyond to make you feel at home! I highly recommend a visit to this beautiful B&B. This is the genuine Italy that I love.

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille Camilla per il tuo giudizio che ci gratifica. Vorrei solo giustificare alcuni aspetti della votazione a beneficio di coloro che leggeranno la recensione e che, tra l'altro, incidono sulla valutazione finale. Pulizia: voi avete scelto la formula "Casa Vacanza" che beneficia di una riduzione del 20% sul prezzo ma che non prevede i servizi previsti dalla formula "B&B" i quali, in questo caso, sono a cura degli ospiti. Posizione: siamo a 200m dalla stazione ferroviaria, infatti come hai giustamente scritto siamo ad una passeggiata dal centro. La posizione tra l'altro è chiaramente indicata nell'annuncio sul sito. Sala da pranzo: non ci sono finestre perché si tratta di un cucinino. Siete stati degli ospiti molto graditi e proprio per questo vi aspettiamo sempre con piacere!

We enjoyed 3 days in this charming and relaxing Bed and Breakfast All'Ombra del Castello. Surrounded by olive trees, it is only a 15-minute walk from the city of Oria and the old town with several restaurants and bars. It is also very close to Oria station. The hosts Antonella and Raffaele were very eager to make your stay the best possible and gave lots of recommendations on what to do, where to go, etc., and even offered to drive us to nearby places. We very much enjoyed the food and wine from their home restaurant, all local and very fresh.

We stayed for 12 days in August in the B&B All'Ombra del Castello apartments, we had a great time, the rooms are large, clean, with a beautiful Apulian architecture. Antonella pampered us every morning at breakfast with good homemade food and organic fruit from the garden. What made the difference compared to other hotel facilities was the hospitality of Raffaele, his availability and ability to tell the stories of the territory. We highly recommend them for a relaxing and deeply traditional vacation.

A wonderful stay in the countryside of Oria in the province of Brindisi. We were welcomed to this beautiful estate by Raffaele and Antonella, passionate and helpful people. The area is extremely quiet and peaceful, as well as easily accessible from neighboring towns. A "home" to definitely come back to. Highly recommended!

Quiet and convenient structure for getting around Oria. The apartment is clean and beautifully furnished with very comfortable beds and fresh, clean linen. The owners are very kind and very helpful. The kitchen is new and very useful. The TV is in a convenient position. I really enjoyed my stay with my family in this accommodation.

Raffaele's bed and breakfast is wonderful. My boyfriend and I spent a week in July in Puglia and we couldn't ask for more. Raffaele and the family are wonderful people, always present and available for any questions or advice. Oria is a small village in the Salento hinterland halfway between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. For the ease of reaching the beaches, and the hospitality received, I highly recommend B&B All'Ombra Del Castello for those who want to spend their holidays in Salento.

Buongiorno signor Contini, nel ringraziarla per il suo giudizio, approfitto di questa replica per sottolineare che siete stati una famiglia molto garbata e gradita. Vorrei altresì fare alcune precisazioni a completa informazione di chi legge in merito ai voti sulla pulizia e la posizione. Per quanto riguarda la prima, non capisco il voto assegnatoci in quanto avete preferito, in cambio di uno sconto del 20%, non scegliere la formula "B&B" con gli annessi servizi, bensì la formula "casa vacanza" consapevoli che la tariffa escludeva il rifacimento letti e la pulizia giornalieri che venivano eseguiti ogni 7 giorni, Per quanto attiene la posizione, il sito geolocalizza perfettamente la struttura e riporta le distanze dal centro città. A piedi, attraversando la stazione FS, il centro dista meno di 1 Km. Utilizzando l'auto invece, questa distanza aumenta di 500 metri. Auspicando che nel complesso la vostra esperienza presso di noi sia stata complessivamente buona, porgiamo i nostri più cordiali saluti. Raffaele ed Antonella.

Charming farmhouse immersed in every aspect the love for their territory, rich in food and wine and cultural traditions, and inexplicably spared from 'mass' tourism! Exceptional breakfast, served in the beautiful garden full of olive trees, spacious apartment equipped with all comforts! Overall an unforgettable experience that we recommend to everyone! Thank you for your stay in the splendid and peaceful countryside, just a few minutes from the delightful village of Oria. Raffaele and Antonella welcomed us and made us feel like part of their beautiful family, with continuous attention to all our needs! See you soon, Eliana and Marco.
