Description

The Corbezzolo is an "oasis" of greenery surrounded by the peacefulness of Salento's olive groves. It's the perfect solution to spend your free time just a few steps away from the Adriatic coast, in total relaxation and harmony with nature.

The main house is built on a family-owned property, surrounded by a lush garden and a classic olive grove, which provide a natural frame to the various types of studios, giving the environment serenity and tranquility even during the high season.

The arrangement of the different studios has been designed to allow full autonomy of the spaces. The patio and kitchenette allow you to decide where and how to eat. The bedroom, always air-conditioned, comes with sheets and towels, changed weekly during room cleaning.

Breakfast, the hallmark of our activity, is rich in organic and typical foods including sweets, jams, fruits, and homemade bread, always ready to sweeten your daily wake-up.

Turn off your phones, unplug and enjoy the clean air, pristine greenery, scents, and flavors of the Salento countryside.

I'm Gerardo, i was born in Salento and i actually live in Milan, but ìm still in love with this beautiful land.

I adore the Nature, the country, the fresh air of the seaside and i love to meet new people.

Il Corbezzolo is all this things bonded together, that's why it's in my heart.

Salento is my passion, so, I will try to be a good guide through the beauties of this magic land, working on it with my family and our friends.

Everything was perfect from the first to the last moment! My wife and I stayed at this Il Corbezzolo B&B for a week. Wonderful place (I had seen what was posted on the website and I already liked it, the reality is even better) suitable for a complete relaxation holiday. The structure is super well-kept in every detail with an enchanting garden. Comfortable accommodation, clean and with everything you need. Super breakfast with delicious sweet and savory cakes for every day and last but not least, the managers always kind, helpful, present, and attentive to all the needs of us guests. Absolutely recommended, we had a great time!

ilaria

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Il Corbezzolo B&B for 5 days and we immediately found ourselves very well. Davide and his family welcomed us with a unique cordiality and kindness. Davide, in particular, was able to recommend beautiful places for us beach lovers, as well as from the point of view of restaurants and trattorias. We want to reward his kindness and availability because it's not really common! The breakfast every day was delicious, they always delighted us with homemade desserts and fresh fruit, all surrounded by a relaxing location that distinguishes this B&B. We can't wait to go back already!

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille Ilaria, le tue belle parole sono portatrici di tanta soddisfazione per la nostra grande Famiglia. Vi aspettiamo per la prossima avventura salentina... e un caro saluto da Davide! ;)

From 1 to 10 August 2019 we stayed at the B&B Il Corbezzolo. Beautiful structure. The greenery is kept with great care by Gerardo and Dad, excellent cleanliness, studio apartment super equipped with linen and everything necessary, wonderful breakfast with their freshly prepared and delicious pastries. And what about the people who manage it, helpful, very kind and friendly. We will definitely return and highly recommend it to those who want to vacation in a beautiful sea and relax. Staying at Corbezzolo is a guarantee, returned with a tear in the eye.

niki

I must say it was all fantastic. From the location to the welcome, from breakfast to the tranquility of the place, from the care of the environment (garden, rooms, and everything else) to the care of the people. Courtesy, familiarity are the order of the day. Breakfast is magnificent, abundant, of excellent quality and strictly all homemade, including the fruit. A heartfelt thank you to Gerardo, Dante, and Donato. See you soon.

Grazie infinite Niki, la tua descrizione ci rende molto orgogliosi. È stato un gran piacere conoscere te e la tua Famiglia. Un caro saluto da tutta la nostra famiglia, buona ripresa e alla prossima! Gerardo.

raffaele

An oasis of greenery, peace and tranquility located near the sea, exceptional! All the staff was kind and caring: we immediately felt at home. A special thanks to Gerardo, who was available from the beginning. A respectful greeting to Dante, who brought a touch of Irpinia and Sannio to Salento.

stayed from 08/28/2017 to 09/02/2017

The answer from the host:
Grazie Raffaele, siete stati gli ospiti ideali: cordiali, rispettosi e molto educati. Mi è dispiaciuto non riuscire a salutarvi, spero che abbiate fatto un buon rientro a casa! Anche Dante vi saluta calorosamente, con quel pizzico di simpatia in più per chi è conterraneo e "paesano mio"! In bocca al lupo per tutto e alla prossima! Gerardo.

marina

B&B immersed in a beautiful garden with flowers, plants, and centuries-old trees. Fresh, clean, fragrant studio with independent entrance and nice patio. Exceptional breakfast: freshly baked cakes, fresh fruit, yogurt, little jams, and much more. Kind, caring staff willing to give advice on beaches and must-visit restaurants. A special thanks to Gerardo and Donatello.

Beautiful stay; second experience at Il Corbezzolo that did not disappoint our expectations. A paradise of scents and colors close to one of the most beautiful coasts of Salento. Strategic location, a green oasis where to spend days in complete freedom and relaxation. Comfortable accommodations equipped with every convenience. A patio where to enjoy breakfasts prepared with care by the hosts, endless cakes, doughnuts, and fruit pies. A spectacle! For us, it will definitely be a regular appointment. Until next summer!

I stayed with my family for four days at the B&B Il Corbezzolo. If you are not looking for luxury, but for the extraordinariness of staying in a little house furnished with simplicity but immersed in an olive grove and with a beautiful garden at your disposal, this B&B is for you. The atmosphere is particularly familiar, Gerardo and all the other people working there are always kind and helpful. Excellent breakfast with homemade pastries under a gazebo at the edge of an English lawn. A few minutes by car from a splendid sea, it is an excellent base, especially for the Adriatic side of Salento and about 30 minutes from Lecce, and 20 minutes from the beautiful Otranto. For those who love contact with nature, it is an ideal place. Excellent value for money.

Grazie Andrea, tu e la tua famiglia siete stati altrettanto gentili e disponibili, siete degli ospiti ideali. Peccato che il soggiorno sia durato poco, spero possa esserci altra occasione. Un saluto da tutto lo staff. Gerardo.
