Description

Giardino dei Suoni B&B is the ideal place for those who wish to discover the beauties and atmosphere of the Salento land.

Its name evokes the awakening of nature in our large garden and the harmony of a piano that sometimes accompanies guests' moments of relaxation.

Giardino dei Suoni B&B allows you to enjoy your stay in peace, having at your disposal large double bedrooms, triple bedrooms and a family room, with balcony, all equipped with private bathroom, with the possibility of adding an extra bed, large spaces used for breakfast in the garden and the possibility of using an equipped kitchen.

Its privileged position allows you to reach every tourist destination in the area in a very short time as it is located halfway between Lecce and Otranto, just 5 minutes from the coast and the suggestive Adriatic beaches, near the Grotta della Poesia, Torre dell'Orso and San Foca.

A warm welcome and a family atmosphere are the characteristics that you will find in the Giardino dei Suoni B&B, together with the pleasure of sharing our knowledge and love for the culture and traditions of Salento with our guests.

Breakfast

Our breakfast is served at the table, even in the garden when the weather is nice. Every day you will find typical local sweets such as "pasticciotto" (a type of pastry filled with custard), shortcrust pastry with custard, and croissant filled with cream and chocolate like you've never tasted before!
Don't miss our homemade cakes, traditional cakes, classic desserts, but also new recipes like ricotta and chocolate muffins, almond and cinnamon cake. We also offer typical savory products, "friselline" with tomatoes from our garden, fresh ricotta with fragrant basil.

In addition, you can enjoy a cappuccino, coffee, tea of every flavor, and fruit juices accompanied by a selection of jams, spreadable chocolate, rusks, and "puccia", the typical bread from Salento.

And then, everyone to the beach!

Hey from Claudia

Hi travelers!
We are Claudia and Salvatore and we run Giardino dei Suoni B&B! The name of our B&B remind at the beautiful "Giardino" garden, with flowers and huge olive trees. Very relaxing place! But more important are "Suoni" sounds, our passion for music, we love playing piano and drum, learning ukulele and cajon and listening to a lot of live music (jazz, traditional, pop).

In Giardino dei Suoni B&B you can find several musical instruments to play or choose vinyls that you prefer from our collection. During breakfast we love sharing special music moments with our guests.

We also are tireless travelers, after summer we used to go far from home looking for big adventures and incredible meeting. We chose a very special and unique way of travel, backpacking or bike, so we have a lot of proposal for short bike tour in Salento, easy walk in the countryside to discover wonderful place and the nature we have all around.

Good and healthy food and traditional recipes are very important in our life style and in B&B breakfast you can find our homemade cakes and yogurt, seasonal fruits, fresh juices, cheese or eggs if you prefer continental breakfast with Km 0 local products.

We are waiting for you for your next awesome trip of your life!
Claudia and Salvatore.

Area mid-centre

The Giardino dei Suoni B&B boasts an excellent location to explore the entire Salento region. We are just a 5-minute drive away from the sandy beaches of San Foca, a small seaside village full of restaurants of all kinds, seafood trattorias, bars, and excellent ice cream parlors. A promenade will serve as a backdrop for your sunset walks near the beach.

The same distance will take you to Torre dell'Orso, with the beach of the Two Sisters and trendy venues for nightlife. One of our favorite destinations, far from the chaos of the high tourist season, is definitely Torre Specchia Ruggeri, with its tranquil sandy coves and low cliffs.

A few more kilometers to the south and you will find yourself in the last Marina di Melendugno, Torre Sant'Andrea, a panoramic and scenic place with sea cliffs towering above.

Lecce, the beautiful baroque city, is only a 20-minute drive away, as well as Otranto and its Aragonese castle.

The property is located:
- 18 km from Lecce.
- 23 km from Otranto.
- 5 km from the sea of San Foca, Roca, Torre dell'Orso.

Very kind and helpful owners. Modern and clean structure with air conditioning (essential!). Location between Lecce and the sea. It is absolutely necessary to have a rental car to move around. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended B&B!

Beautiful house equipped with every comfort, spacious rooms each with a private bathroom, spacious veranda with a garden to relax. Excellent breakfast. Salvatore and Claudia are fantastic and friendly people who will advise you at their best and meet you for any need. A little gem of Salento, recommended to everyone.

Perfect B&B, for the beauty of the environment and for the exquisite hospitality of Claudia and Salvatore. Moreover, for those like us who are cycle-tourists, this is a precious reference: even the bikes rest safely and the owners, experts in two-wheeled journeys, are generous with advice and information about the surrounding area. Absolutely recommended.

Salvatore and Claudia's Bed and Breakfast is more than just a place to stay, it's like being at home, simply pampered in the silence of nature. You immediately feel like part of the family and are welcomed into a beautiful, comfortable, and loving environment. Salvatore, Claudia, and their little Simone are a beautiful family that loves to welcome you with love and care and pamper you until you leave. It's more than a family, it's more than a Bed and Breakfast, it's home and relaxation in harmony. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Summarizing feelings is not easy in a few words, but Salvatore and little Simone welcomed me home even in my shyness. They gave me directions for itineraries every day and even worried during the day if I had arrived or had problems (since I was traveling alone). In the evening, they involved me with them, friends and other guests, for dinners and chats in the Salento breeze. They gave me the opportunity to use their bicycles, the kitchen, the washing machine, and even to use the refrigerator for shopping. Neat room, nothing is missing. And all complemented by a stunning terrace and an equipped garden. Every journey carries hopes and dreams, and I could not ask for a better place and welcome on departure. Thank you, Sasà, Claudia, and Simone.

We appreciated everything about Claudia and Sassa: the large room with a spacious terrace, the very well-kept and very relaxing garden, the kitchen and fridge at our disposal, the abundant and varied breakfasts served in the garden. The good mood and welcome of Claudia and Sassa, our young hosts musicians and cyclists at heart, seduced us. Thanks to them for these three dream days. This B&B is to be recommended.

The Giardino dei Suoni is a small great Bed and Breakfast, few rooms but in a spacious, comfortable and very well-kept structure. Garden and kitchen complete the livability of the place. The breakfast is very well taken care of, the cleanliness impeccable. But all this, with a bit of luck, can be found in many structures: what is much rarer is to find two hosts, Claudia and Salvatore, so passionate about their land, so generous with advice, directions, and suggestions. Travelers who know what they would like to receive from the hospitality of others and, for this reason, generously welcome and pamper those who open up to their engaging 'Magical Mystery Tour' of an even more evocative Salento if seen through the eyes of those who live and love it.

Giardino dei Suoni B&B is much more than a Bed and Breakfast. Claudia and Salvatore offer a true home to their guests, a refuge from the frenzy and impersonality of the modern world, a center for the community. From the peaceful and green garden, to the fresh and healthy breakfasts, to the clean and comfortable rooms, everything found on the property is a product of love and passion. If you are looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Salento, here it is. Giardino dei Suoni B&B will touch your heart.

I would say it is definitely the best Bed and Breakfast I have ever stayed in from all points of view. Charming and clean place. Excellent and abundant breakfast. Very close to Lecce. The staff is truly excellent in availability and kindness. My partner and another couple of friends stayed here for New Year's Eve and found a place that made us feel at home, we will definitely come back as soon as possible.

We didn't realize we were in a tourist facility, it felt like being at home; hospitality, friendliness, kindness, freedom, availability, it was like being in the company of long-time friends. Thank you Claudia, thank you Sasà, it was nice to meet you and be your guests. We carry you in our hearts and wish you all the beauty you expect! A warm greeting from Paolo, Caterina, and Giacomo. See you soon!

First time we went to Salento and I would say it's worth repeating! The luck was staying at this Giardino dei Suoni B&B and meeting two super helpful people, both to give advice on where to go and what to see, and just to have a chat. What about Harry then? Without his greeting at the gate entrance it wouldn't be the same! Thank you guys, you made us spend some beautiful vacation days!

stayed from 06/02/2016 to 06/07/2016

The answer from the host:
Grazie Sandra, è stato un piacere avervi ospitato nel nostro Giardino dei Suoni! E siamo felicissimi che abbiate trascorso une bella vacanza nel nostro territorio. Vi salutiamo tutti, Hurry compreso! A presto, Claudia - Giardino dei Suoni B&B.

I did not feel like giving less than 10 to this corner of paradise! I stayed a few days in this B&B in the heart of Salento and I was really enthusiastic about it. Not only is the structure well maintained and very clean, but the owners are also wonderful people, always available to advise you on this or that activity or visit. The breakfasts are truly delicious and the location of the B&B is perfect for reaching Lecce, Otranto, and the nearby sea of San Foca or Torre dell'Orso. It was truly an excellent stay, in fact, I am really thinking of going back in August.
