Hey from Daniele

Member since June 2011 | 36,751 hits

Hello everyone, we are Daniele, Anna Grazia, and little Sabrina.

I, Daniele, was born and raised in Lissone, a town in the province of Milan. Then I met Anna Grazia, who is from Salento, and since I discovered this wonderful land, I fell in love with it and decided to leave Brianza and come here to live with the whole family.

We have opened our B&B just a few meters from the sea, which allows me to pursue my passion for fishing.

What I enjoy the most is meeting new people, especially when I come across people from my hometown with whom I can also speak the Milanese dialect.

The owners speak Italian and English fluently.

Area seaside

The Pilella bed and breakfast overlooks the splendid stretch of sea on the Ionian coast, called Pilella, named after the natural shape of a rock sculpted by the sea that resembles a large tub, a natural basin known as "pila" in the Salento dialect.

We are in the heart of Salento, in the marina of Alliste with its crystal-clear waters and gentle hills, home to olive trees. The Pilella B&B awaits you for a vacation filled with enchanting sea, relaxation, and fun. We are just a few kilometers away from Gallipoli and Torre San Giovanni, the most important destinations for summer nightlife in Salento.

Quiet location near the most beautiful beaches of the Ionian Salento, reachable in a few minutes, to which are added cordiality, kindness, availability of the owners, cleanliness and order of the premises. Highly recommended.

I had a great time, in every corner you can feel the care, cleanliness, and passion that Daniele puts into his work. An excellent connoisseur of places, he can advise you both for the sea and for meals. Despite the anti-COVID restrictions, abundant and well-prepared breakfasts.

sabrina

I stayed at the B&B Pilella for a week with my family. We really felt at home. We were immediately welcomed and pampered by Daniele and his cheerful family. Every morning we were greeted with a plentiful breakfast of fresh pastries and lots of chats and advice on the most beautiful beaches and places to visit in Salento. The property is simple yet very clean and well-maintained. Thanks to the knowledge of these people and this place, I will definitely come back to Puglia for vacation in the coming years. Well done Daniele, who with his friendliness made our stay truly special. Highly recommended place.

Buongiorno Sabrina sono veramente felice di essere stato utile a rendere più piacevole possibile la vostra vacanza, siete stati ospiti graditissimi, una famiglia educata e per bene, sarete sempre benvenuti al nostro B&B. Cordiali saluti Daniele.

angela

A truly fabulous place, an exceptional location, 50 meters from a crystal clear (rocky) sea. At the same distance, a delightful walk along the sea of over a kilometer enjoyable both early in the morning and in the evening. But above all, the courtesy, availability, and friendliness of Daniele deserve praise, spoiling us with delicious and 'thoughtful' breakfasts tailored to the guest: one morning he made us find freshly picked figs. We will definitely come back.

stayed from 08/01/2018 to 08/08/2018

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Angela per noi è davvero una soddisfazione quando i nostri ospiti scrivono e ringraziano per la piacevole vacanza, siete due persone gentili e cordiali con cui è piacevole scambiare quattro chiacchiere durante la colazione. Vi aspettiamo a braccia aperte nel caso vogliate tornare nuovamente per le vacanze. Buona continuazione per tutto e cordiali saluti Daniele.

Excellent hospitality, unique availability - Daniela and Anna Grazia always ready with winning tips for an unforgettable vacation. They recommended the most beautiful beaches, the best restaurants, and we always had very pleasant chats. Excellent and abundant breakfast! The room is the perfect size and has all the comforts (fridge, clothes horse, hairdryer, air conditioner, towels, etc.). Furthermore, the B&B is located in a very strategic point because it is equidistant from Punta Prosciutto, a wonderful beach, and from the Grottoes of Santa Maria di Leuca - with the car we could visit the most beautiful beaches always having the B&B nearby. A true family-run B&B!

I stayed in August for six nights at the B&B Pilella. The location is 500 meters from the sea. The room is equipped with all comforts, fridge, air conditioning, hairdryer. The bathroom with a window. Excellent cleanliness. Also good breakfast with a homemade pastry every morning. The value for money is also excellent. The managers are very friendly with in-depth knowledge of the territory and both scenic and recreational opportunities.

I stayed at the B&B Pilella with a friend for six nights. The structure is nice, well-kept, clean, cozy, and a stone's throw from the sea. The owners are kind and helpful, and they gave us excellent directions on both places to visit and nice places in that part of the coast.

elena

Daniele and Anna Grazia were magnificent! Full marks in everything. For the first time we decided for an Italian B&B and it turned out to be decidedly superior to the best expectations, in terms of management, cleanliness, attention towards the guests. The location is wonderful, a stone's throw from a cove where you can swim or walk along a stretch of coast, or sit on a bench to read and/or observe the sea with its colors and its Salento peculiarities. If you want a bit of social life, just move a little and you'll find everything. A place where we hope to be able to return.

simone

We stayed a week at this B&B. What can I say: clean rooms equipped with every comfort, spacious bathroom, ideal location to reach the beautiful sandy or rocky beaches of Salento in a few minutes.\n\nBut what struck us the most is the spirit with which Daniele and Anna Grazia manage the structure: it practically feels like being among old friends who meet again to spend a vacation together. You find yourself sitting at the breakfast table in the morning enjoying homemade sweets and talking to Daniele who is always very kind in giving you directions and advice on where to go to the sea.\n\nThen in the evening you always find yourself under the portico talking and commenting on how the day went and following the indications of where to go to eat.\n\nThe time passed so quickly that you're sorry to leave..\n\nA heartfelt thank you for what you made us experience!\nHighly recommended.

Short but peaceful stay in this nice Bed & Breakfast located in Marina di Capilungo, 5 minutes from the beautiful town of Torre San Giovanni on one side, and 15 minutes from Gallipoli on the other. As for the structure, the apartments are comfortable and we didn't find any defects, equipped with a fridge and air conditioning. Good breakfast served by the owner, always very friendly and helpful in giving useful advice. We will definitely come back because it is always a pleasure to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Salento.

I stayed at the Pilella property for the second consecutive year and it seems right to say that with Anna Grazia and Daniele it's like being at home. The property is immersed in silence, with very nice, clean rooms, and a nice bathroom, as well as a refrigerator, also outside, and air conditioning. Daniele is always very helpful in giving advice on where to go to the beach, what to visit, or where to eat. They are committed to making the guest experience beautiful. Highly recommended!

Located a few steps from the sea in one of the most beautiful areas of Salento for us, there is a walk on the rocks that made me want to run in the morning again, after a long time. The structure is characterized by cleanliness, the rooms are cozy and always kept in order and super clean. The breakfast is abundant, with always fresh and good cakes, figs just picked from the plant. Daniele the manager, a attentive and caring person always ready to give you advice on how to best spend your holidays, recommending places to see and places to eat that have lived up to expectations. Daniele is also a very friendly and kind person, he does everything to make you feel at home, and that's how we found ourselves and we hope to come back soon, we left a friend, thank you Daniele and Antonella.

We left from Bergamo unprepared but curious to discover Salento. Luck wanted us to turn to the B&B Pilella in Capolungo di Alliste for our stay. We were greeted with exquisite courtesy and availability by Daniele and his wife, as if we were old friends.\n\nThey indicated the best places to enjoy the sea in this beautiful land of Puglia, the places to visit, and the places to frequent to taste the delicacies of Salento cuisine.\n\nThe room they assigned us for the stay completely satisfied our expectations: spacious, clean, with a refrigerator, air conditioning, and a large shower. Every morning they served us a rich breakfast. All at a very affordable cost.\n\nNeedless to say, the departure to our city (which we also love) was not without melancholy, so much so that we sadly said goodbye to the splendid Salento landscape and two new friends to whom we have already made an appointment for a sure return in the summer of 2015.\n\nBruno.

Beyond all expectations, finding a "Milanese" who manages a B&B in Salento is just a guarantee, and Daniele succeeds perfectly. The breakfast is excellent and abundant, Daniele has gone out of his way for all the needs we had: information and purchase of local products for us. We will return.

We wanted to visit Salento and we chose a Bed and Breakfast on the internet. We were fortunate to meet Anna Grazia and Daniele, the owners of the Bed and Breakfast Pilella in Capolungo. They are welcoming, friendly, and helpful people. They recommended places to visit and local restaurants where we could taste typical Salento products. With their kindness and hospitality, they involved us in a family atmosphere. The room was spacious, comfortable, functional, and clean, equipped with air conditioning, a fridge, and a bathroom with a shower. What can I say... Their knowledge contributed to making our vacation more beautiful. We sadly said goodbye to the wonderful landscapes of Salento, but especially to Anna Grazia and Daniele.

I stayed for only 4 days but I felt like I was at home. The structure is close to the sea, clean with air conditioning, fridge, and TV. The managers are wonderful people. Not recommended for those who want to diet: the breakfast is rich and varied with homemade desserts.

giovanni

I stayed at this property for a few days. There was little courtesy from the managers regarding the needs of the customer. For breakfast, there was only a burnt coffee since after their imposed time you could not find anything else. The use of the air conditioner was allowed on the condition that you used it as little as possible simply because I was staying for only a few days. There was little discretion and privacy as the managers' residence and the B&B were located a couple of meters apart. The managers once sneaked into my room. It was a nightmare vacation, and I certainly will not return.

stayed from 08/03/2012 to 08/06/2012

The answer from the host:
Il signor Giovanni Polito ospite del nostro B&B forse non ricorda che ha prenotato per una persona, invece in realtà ha soggiornato con un 'altra persona senza pagare la seconda e davanti alle ripetute richieste di rilasciare i documenti dell'altra persona si è rifiutato. L'introduzione furtiva di una persona non autorizzata se non sbaglio non è stata fatta da noi. Per il resto quanto ha descritto sono solo parole.

gianni

My family (wife, son, and little dog) and I stayed during the last week of July. The property is well maintained and equipped with all comforts, just a short walk from the most beautiful beaches in Salento. The owners are always present and ready to advise us on places and restaurants to visit. The breakfast is excellent and abundant, equal to the cleanliness of the room. Highly recommended. A big hello to Maria Grazia and Daniele, and a kiss to Sabrina from Gianni, Laura, Valerio, and Mambo.

At the B&B Pilella, it is wonderfully comfortable, it feels like being part of the family. Our experience of ten days last year and another ten this year has been very nice. In addition to all the positive things we rated, we add the availability, kindness, and generosity of Anna Grazia Daniele with little Sabrina.
