Breakfast

Our breakfasts are rich and delicious yet healthy and genuine. Yes, because Eleonora prefers "homemade". Every morning, there is no shortage of handmade brioches, sweet treats such as tarts, bundt cakes, and both homemade and packaged cookies. Yogurt, fresh and dried fruit, jams, rusks, and fruit juices are also included. Depending on the season, Eleonora also brings to the table fruits from her land: pears, plums, lemons, grapes, figs, and prickly pears. For those who desire a savory breakfast, a small supplement is required.

Hey from Eleonora

Member since May 2016 | 43,006 hits

We are Eleonora and Francesco,
the passion for desserts and healthy and good food brought us hospitality in our home. So we decide to give life to a dream closed in a drawer for years.

In this way we realize our activity by involving the whole family, buying an old abandoned farmhouse and transforming it into a B&B structure calling it DolceSosta, with the hope that it will become.

The breakfast prepared by Eleonora, with healthy and genuine ingredients strictly homemade, delight guests from early morning. Continuing to cuddle from time to time with tastings of typical Apulian products.

Francesco takes care of the management of the structure and their daughters of the entertainment of the little guests.

DolceSosta a few steps from a crystal clear sea follows the tranquility and walks along the coast, which are the setting for the evenings.

The property receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from guests. Highlights include spotless cleanliness, a strategic location close to the sea and the town center, and modern, comfortable rooms. Hosts are frequently described as extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful. The homemade, plentiful breakfast is often praised as a highlight. The tranquil and family-friendly atmosphere stands out. There is only an isolated negative review mentioning an uncomfortable bed and a pricing issue, but overall, the property is highly recommended for couples and families seeking a relaxing break.

Sweet stop in Marina di Pulsano is a B&B with a warm welcome from Eleonora and Francesco. Well-organized place for a quiet vacation. Strategic location relative to the main street, very close to the sea (5 minutes on foot) with comfortable and super clean rooms. Breakfast with magically prepared sweets by Eleonora and her lovely daughter. We thank you for the exquisite hospitality.

This is a wonderful place, a bed and breakfast that I immediately felt like 'home'. The owner Eleonora is a special person, dedicated to the maximum for what is her passion. Quiet, cozy structure. Room equipped with all comforts, modern and bright. Excellent cleanliness and order. Rich and varied breakfast. An unforgettable place. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at this property the first two weeks of August, the property is tidy and clean. The owners Francesco and Eleonora are very kind people, the breakfast is plentiful and Eleonora's homemade pastries are delicious. As for the sea, there is plenty of choice because within a 5-10' walk you can reach several bays with shallow and crystal clear waters. We plan to return and highly recommend it.

The name of the 'Dolce Sosta' structure perfectly describes what is actually found. Sweetness of abundant and high-quality breakfasts, homemade by the very kind and helpful Mrs. Eleonora for every need. Absolute cleanliness, comfortable room close to the beach with crystal clear sea. I highly recommend it.

I returned with my husband from Eleonora and Francesco for the umpteenth time and once again we left with the desire to return as soon as possible. These guys never cease to amaze us with their availability and desire to make their customers' stay enjoyable. Eleonora's abundant and "homemade" breakfast is now the B&B's trademark. The structure, thanks to Francesco's care, renews and beautifies itself every passing year. The sea just a few tens of meters away is a spectacle like the beaches available. They are the top for those who want a relaxing holiday, all sun and sea. We just left, but we are already counting the days until our return.

We stayed 15 days at the B&B DolceSosta, the structure is practically 5 minutes from the sea and various shops and restaurants, the area is excellent. The owners Francesco and Eleonora are fantastic and very kind people along with their daughters and available for everything, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Then to talk about the breakfast with fresh products and homemade by Eleonora, we had a fantastic holiday and I recommend to everyone the B&B DolceSosta.

Uncomfortable bed and pillows, the owner did not respect the prices on the internet. I found a price and I go there and end up paying another price and obviously much more. A big rip-off. I won't set foot there again.

stayed from 08/30/2019 to 09/01/2019

The answer from the host:
Ciao, letto e cuscini scomodissimi, è una valutazione prettamente soggettiva come quella della struttura che rispecchia a pieno le foto esposte sul sito dal quale è stata effettuata la prenotazione. Il prezzo è stato rispettato come da conferma di soggiorno inviata. Al check-in viene chiesto di effettuare uno sconto che non viene concesso, ed al prezzo concordato viene assegnata una camera quadrupla con angolo cottura privato al piano terra, anziché la semplice camera matrimoniale concordata per agevolare il loro soggiorno in presenza del piccolo cane. Valutare scarsa la colazione, facendo i complimenti e consumando tutto ciò che viene servito, a nostro parere sembra incoerente, lo dimostra il giudizio complessivo ricevuto da altri ospiti.

The friendliness and willingness to work are fundamental characteristics of Francesco and Eleonora, who with the help of their daughters are carrying on a reality that few manage to maintain. Clean and tidy environments. New and comfortable structure and what is fundamental just a stone's throw from the sea. Fantastic experience to be repeated. Bye guys, see you soon!

We were very satisfied during our stay at DolceSosta B&B. Eleonora, Francesco, and their daughters are very kind, friendly, and welcoming people. The most important thing for us was cleanliness, as our daughter is only 8 months old and enjoys tasting everything. The spaces are very comfortable, the structure is quiet, and the sea is only a 5-minute walk away. Breakfasts are plentiful and it is an absolute must to try Eleonora's homemade sweets. Excellent! It is a quality B&B and we hope to repeat for the next holidays.

With my wife and one of my two daughters, I was a guest of Francesco and Eleonora in April, and it was a stay that I will remember with great pleasure for a long time. I travel a lot for work for almost 30 years now and a combination of courtesy, organization, cleanliness, and logistics like the one found in this B&B is rare, sometimes even in various star hotels. The love, determination, and commitment that the young managers of this structure put into making the stay pleasant and relaxing for their guests is almost moving. The room they provided us with was on the first floor of a brand new structure, spacious and with a functional and well-stocked bathroom, also equipped with a large terrace and air conditioning. The kitchen, shared with other guests, also well-equipped with every convenience and with accessories (including dishes and cookware) brand new. The breakfast, abundant and varied, is able to satisfy even the most demanding appetites. On the ground floor, there are other rooms and a common area, equipped with a barbecue, tables, chairs, a swing, and a foosball table for pleasant evenings together. The sea, splendid along the entire coast down to Salento, is about a hundred meters or a little more, but the structure is located on a side street that guarantees privacy and tranquility. The only downside, but it is certainly not the responsibility of the managers, is the lack of tourist attractions in the area. For lovers of "sun and sea" holidays and for families with children, I believe it's the top. One last thing, absolutely not to be underestimated, is the excellent value for money even for high season periods.

Wonderful stay in a top-level B&B. Just a stone's throw from the crystal-clear sea, Francesco and Eleonora have created a clean, comfortable, spacious environment with every comfort. An extreme attention to us guests and especially to children. We will definitely come back with pleasure not only because Marina di Pulsano has a fabulous sea but also because we discovered a B&B that really impressed us. Well done guys, keep it up!

It is located in a beautiful location, just a few steps from a crystal-clear sea, a real natural swimming pool. The rooms of the B&B are clean and tidy, with a plentiful breakfast. The owners are the real highlight, always available and very discreet. They filled me with attention. Coming back from the sea and finding the air conditioning on or the prickly pears in the fridge ready to eat is really nice, much appreciated. I will definitely return.

Unforgettable stay at this beautiful property managed by Francesco and Eleonora. Impeccable, very kind, extremely helpful hosts. They welcomed us with a smile making our vacation peaceful and enjoyable. The feeling perceived is that of having found friends not seen in a long time. Pampered since breakfast, delicious thanks to Eleonora's skilled hands. Very convenient kitchenette available, especially for those with small children. It would be an understatement to talk about excellent cleanliness: top of the top! Logistically perfect location just steps from the sea and the "promenade" area but situated in a relaxing, quiet area at night. A true reference point for the area. We would like to go back tomorrow! Wonderful. Highly recommended.

More than a Bed and Breakfast, it is a welcoming home managed with love. Eleonora and Francesco are two wonderful people who are investing in an important enterprise, contributing to the revival of a territory that deserves for its beauty. Their family is an expression of the love they have and of cooperation in the enterprise. These, in my opinion, are the elements that the territory needs to resurface. I also hope that local administrators know how to value both people like them and the territory.

If anyone is looking for an amazing stay in a delicious B&B either for a few days or for a long stay, don't look no more. This is the place to be! We stayed only a couple of days for a family event in San Giorgio Jonico and we forgot to book in advance a hotel or a B&B and because May is the religious period for kids' first communion, then everything was fully booked. The owners of this place, Eleonora and Francesco, were also occupied with their own daughter's event in San Giorgio Jonico but they offered anyway to get our booking to their B&B in Marina di Pulsano (20 minutes away from San Giorgio). The place is new, fresh, absolutely spotless, situated in a great location just 2 minutes walk from the sea but quiet and cozy, has 2 floors in a kind of huge villa with just a few rooms. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower, natural light coming in, fridge, AC, Wi-Fi, clean towels, clean bed sheets and the touch of who really cares about their guests. Attentive, sweet, available, clean, always smiling and super helpful people. Breakfast is awesome and impressive. Not even in a 4-star hotel sometimes you get what they offered; cookies, cakes, and pastries were handmade from the owner, delicious. Then everything you need to have to start the day in an amazing way. From cereals to yogurt to coffee, tea, hot chocolate, fresh fruit of any kind in season etc. and you can even cook your own food because equipped with a kitchen and apparently there is even an oven and BBQ in the garden where guests can gather together (well, I guess in summer). So I think I don't need to go further in explaining which kind of place this B&B is and the people who managing it; we had, me, my brother and my kids the best couple of days ever, we felt home and spoiled from this lovely family. I would recommend to anyone to pass by even if only for a day or two. Thank you and we will definitely be back.

I have just returned, along with my wife, after a 6-night stay. The structure is located a 5-minute walk from a couple of beautiful beaches and many others are reachable, always within a few minutes by car. It has a strategic position, just off the main road, ensuring perfect silence (also thanks to the brand-new fixtures). The room where we stayed is equipped with a sink with an induction hob and fridge, as well as air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Impeccable cleanliness, frequent changes of towels and sheets. We arrived at 11 pm due to a flight delay and the owner welcomed us at the door; in the room, there was a bottle of sparkling wine ready and the necessary ingredients to prepare a pasta with sauce. Breakfasts are very rich, with warm croissants from the oven (ready at the agreed time) and fresh fruit in addition to the usual foods. The owners are extremely kind: they manage to combine hospitality and cordiality with discretion. The structure also has a large outdoor area, barbecue, and wood-burning oven that guests can use. In conclusion, a truly unique B&B compared to those tried, with an excellent value for money and where I would return with closed eyes for new holidays in Puglia.
