What guests say

Guests consistently praise the kindness and professionalism of the hosts, which greatly enhances the overall experience. Cleanliness is outstanding, with modern and spacious rooms, and breakfast is often described as abundant and featuring homemade items. The B&B’s location in Racale is considered strategic for visiting all of Salento, including popular beaches like those near Gallipoli. Practical amenities such as a shared kitchen and terraces are particularly appreciated by families. The value for money is rated highly. Racale itself is a quiet, non-touristic town, making it suitable for relaxing and exploring the region by car.

Kindness and professionalism of the owners. Located near the center of Racale and strategically positioned to visit the beauties of a part of the Ionian Salento that goes from Gallipoli to Lido Marini. Excellent breakfast complete with everything. Finally, the outdoor space available to guests is very beautiful and further enhances this wonderful location. In summary, we really enjoyed our stay and absolutely recommend it.

The owners are very kind and helpful, there are fresh pasticciotti for breakfast every day, the structure is nice and very clean as well as close to the coast of Gallipoli.

Prefacing that it is the first time we have stayed in a B&B, the experience was excellent. Paola and Sebastiano (the owners) are lovely people, helpful, and very attentive to customers' needs. Italian breakfast with a bit of savory. Good location (inland) but halfway to reach any place.

Everything ok, very good value for money. Good location to reach the various beautiful beaches of Salento. Racale is a not very touristy town, it has everything necessary, it offers little in terms of evening venues.

B&B in a strategic position, although located inland, because it is a few kilometers from all the most beautiful beaches to the north and south of Gallipoli between Santa Maria di Leuca and Punta Prosciutto. Great welcome, very helpful and professional manager.

Lovely place, perfect cleanliness and welcoming location. Great place to visit Salento. Gallipoli is really beautiful with all those open-air nightclubs. My boyfriend and I had a great time. The room was to our liking, the bathroom clean and finally plenty of hot water because with my thick hair it's a struggle to always find hot water at all hours. There was also a hairdryer in the bathroom, which came in handy. We will return because Gallipoli has remained in our hearts.

Excellent. Entirely positive experience. Elegant rooms, modern furniture, very clean bathroom. Abundant breakfast. Extremely kind owner. Strategic location to visit the Salento, which is wonderful, believe me. Worth repeating.

Excellent welcome, extraordinary cleanliness, the sea a few kilometers away, abundant breakfast and a wide choice for every taste. The most enjoyable thing was that the availability was at any time. Central location that allowed us to visit the whole Salento.

I stayed at this B&B with my husband and young son in the Acquamarina room, spacious and clean, with a nice terrace equipped with a sink and clothesline. The bathroom is outside the room just in front, but it wasn't a problem. The breakfast is varied and always available, much appreciated that it is self-service so you can manage it as you like without schedules, to be enjoyed comfortably on the terrace. The shared kitchen is very convenient especially for families like us with young children for whom you may need to prepare something without going out or simply to put your own things in the fridge. The location is recommended because from Racale you can reach all of Salento in a few minutes by car. We would have liked to extend our stay but alas everything was fully booked. Congratulations to Sebastiano for his B&B. Until the next vacation.
