Description

"The sun that sees you is dazzling".

Set down your watch, take your time. Slow down and let yourself be awakened by the chirping of cicadas, at Casale de li Canti you can. Curved olive trees and rows of vines accompany you down the hill. Just two kilometers away, your eyes can get lost along fine sandy dunes and crystal-clear waters in which you can see your reflection. Proud in its shades of blue, you can contemplate the sea from our tower, from the edge of the pool, or strolling through the garden.

If you are in search of an oasis, you have found it, with its two hectares of century-old olive grove ensuring relaxation and space for yourself. You will be literally overwhelmed by new scents, colors, and flavors.

Breathe. Observe. Listen. Our goal is to provide you with a unique and intense experience, to make your time unforgettable. So that it is more than just a simple vacation!"

Hey from Giuseppe & Maria Rita

Member since January 2012 | 47,330 hits

In the photo, it's me and my mother Rita, a former math teacher, who once retired brought to life everything that we can appreciate today. Her creative flair and attention to detail can be noticed in the many elements that make up the beauty of the Casale. From her, I have learned to appreciate the simple things, the connection with nature, the respect between people, and the power of kindness.

My name is Giuseppe, born in 1982, and what I want to express is that, after a path of studies focused on the humanities and a work journey abruptly interrupted by the crisis, I have returned home.

The rest cannot be described. We await you!

I stayed at Casale de Li Canti for a week and to say that I had a good time would be an understatement. Everything is very beautiful, well cared for in detail, a pleasure for the eyes but also for the spirit. A place where you can really recharge. It is located in the countryside, away from the chaos and just a few minutes from the wonderful sea of Salento. Upon arrival, I was welcomed by the smiles and kindness of Luana (who made me feel pampered until the last day) and the cordiality of Maria. I felt like I was with family and at the same time safe, thanks to the constant presence of Giuseppe, an attentive and professional owner, and his loyal four-legged friend. I slept in the “Finocchietto” room, small but perfect, located on the ground floor of the Tower. The breakfast was excellent and abundant with a wide choice of sweet and savory, and the fresh fruit was also very welcome. The possibility of staying for dinner and eating excellent and genuine km 0 food immersed in the beauty and tranquility of the place was ideal for me to end the day, in the cool, under the stars, chatting with the people I had the pleasure of meeting. Everything was so beautiful that I didn't want to leave anymore. Highly recommended.

I stayed for a week in this spectacular property. I had a wonderful time, beautiful scenery, delicious organic food and drinks in abundance, all carefully attended to with attention and dedication by both the owner Giuseppe (a kind and helpful person, always) and the entire staff. I can't wait to return. I highly recommend it.

A beautiful ancient farmhouse perfectly renovated, a large furnished garden, with equipped swimming pool and around a beautiful landscape: ancient farmhouses and solitary alleys among wild fennel plants and caper bushes, olive trees and large fig trees. The turquoise sea, glimpsed on the horizon, can be reached in less than ten minutes by car. \nAt Casale de li Canti, managed with great kindness and availability, the welcome is exquisite and the care and attention for the guest are maximum. The breakfast is rich and varied: homemade sweets and jams, fruits, vegetables from the garden, local baked goods every morning, just out of the oven: puccia, pasticciotti and more... Well-kept room and perfect cleanliness, the same that is noticed in every environment of this special place. We really had a great time here and had a wonderful holiday. Thanks to Giuseppe, his family and Iva, attentive and caring hosts.

serafina

Enchanting place located on a hill with sea view and always with a pleasant breeze. Pampered by Giuseppe and his family and by his collaborators, we spent a wonderful holiday in the middle of nature and the magical silence that accompanied the splendid sunsets seen from the tower. Abundant breakfast with top quality local products, impeccable cleanliness and attention to every detail both in the room, in the pool, in the garden, and in the common areas. We highly recommend it and if we return to Puglia, this will be our B&B.

Well-maintained structure in every detail, manager and collaborators are friendly and always helpful. The strong point is the pool with a breathtaking view.

We stumbled upon Casale de li Canti online by chance... and luckily! Because we found a paradise in front of our eyes. Located on a hill, quite easy to find thanks to the road signs, overlooking the splendid sea of lower Salento. The location is really great to reach the beaches but also the inland, 15 minutes from Santa Maria di Leuca and half an hour from Gallipoli. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the owner, Giuseppe, who is a force of nature, an excellent host, and a great all-around dad, he advised us on all our requests. The breakfast was really top-notch, fresh products every morning served by a very kind and professional staff. Pool and breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside. Immaculately clean room equipped with air conditioning. We hope to return soon to Salento but especially to Casale de li Canti. Leo and Giuseppe.

The quiet location, the courtesy of the manager, and the cleanliness were that little something extra that made us have a splendid and relaxing holiday in a place already splendid in itself.

The answer from the host:

maurizio

Secular olive trees, flowers, bird chirping, silence. This is Casale de li Canti, where relaxation is guaranteed. You immerse yourself in nature, comforted by cleanliness, good food, and attention to detail that make it feel like "home", and you feel welcomed by the wise and discreet company of the very talented Giuseppe and the silent but effective presence of Anna. NB: bring your running shoes, because for those who love this sport, it's an unmissable opportunity. Maurizio and Cristina from Florence June 2018.

Siete strati gentilissimi e sempre attenti a ricambiare ogni attenzione con un sorriso. Grazie a voi della piacevole compagnia e spero di rivedervi presto. Saluti affettuosi da tutti noi Giu.

roberto

Very beautiful structure, fully immersed in the atmosphere of Salento. Discretion, cleanliness, attention to details, and care of the customers, who feel pampered and fulfilled in every need. The manager Giuseppe, very kind, even accompanied us on morning walks along the avenues lined with olive trees. Recommended from every point of view.

I left Puglia, more than 30 years ago, for study first and work later. Returning to breathe its air scented with wild and unmistakable flower and herb flavors, immersing myself in the expanses of olive groves and vineyards, under a sky of a unique blue, admiring the boundless views of that strip of authentic land wrapped between two seas of a Caribbean blue was like a leap in space and time. The authenticity of the flavors, the nobility of the architectures, and the warmth of the people of Puglia complete the experience. The Casale de li Canti is all this: Puglia at its best, the one you never forget and where you will always want to return.

stayed from 04/26/2017 to 05/02/2017

The answer from the host:
Grazie, sarai sempre la benventuta. Giuseppe.

melissa

They are staying these days in this splendid place and the feelings are all positive. The Casale de li Canti is charming, immersed in greenery, the silence and the charm of nature are protagonists; but what makes everything special are the people who manage it, in particular Giuseppe excellent host, affable, helpful who manages to convey with passion the love for his land so much as to make you feel part of it making you forget you are not from here, in short like at home. I highly recommend it. Ps: beautiful sea and beaches.

We had a great time for everything. Structure, courtesy, and availability of Mrs. Rita and Giuseppe. Fantastic breakfast outdoors, maximum tranquility. We could only hear the singing of the birds among the ancient olive trees. Sea view, convenience to the Ionian or Adriatic beaches, excellent dinners at Dal Moro in Torre San Gregorio. Luxurious baths and a decent amount of fish while snorkeling. In short, a place not to be missed.
