What guests say

Reviews highlight the property’s strategic location, ideal for easily reaching the area's beautiful beaches such as Torre Lapillo and Punta Prosciutto. Travelers praise the cleanliness, well-maintained spaces, and the hosts’ friendliness and availability. The structures are modern and sometimes feature charming, renovated trulli, offering a unique experience. Common facilities like internal parking and laundry are highly appreciated. The value for money is widely considered excellent. Some guests mention that a car is needed to get around and there are occasional minor issues, but overall the experience is very positive and relaxing.

Appreciated the coffee machine with pods available. The location on the provincial road is convenient, but the noise from passing cars and motorcycles is inevitable at all times. The campsite entertainment is probably right next to the house, so it is very audible. However, if the external door of the room is closed you no longer hear it. Washing machine available but not working. Room and bathroom without windows: you have to leave the iron door with the mosquito net open. The host was spontaneously present every morning until our departure for the sea. Useful on the first morning to change a pillowcase, to have an extra pillow and to get some advice, appreciated.

We stayed in this splendid property in the triple room with exclusive garden use, from the start the owners were very friendly and made us feel at home giving us maximum availability and advice on the area. There are multiple positive points including the tranquility of the area and the strategic location of the property itself, which is very close to the most beautiful beaches.

We stayed from 6th to 12th August in this very nice independent studio. The bathroom is not particularly large but we found it clean and with all the necessary items (hairdryer, soaps, towels, etc.). Outside, a very large area with a veranda, table, clothesline, and shower. Everything corresponds to what was indicated in the advertisement. The owners were very kind and helpful. The studio is located in a strategic area near Punta Prosciutto, Porto Cesareo, Nardò, just to name a few. Breakfast was not included but it was expressly indicated in the advertisement. Last but not least, at 250 meters, therefore easily reachable even on foot, there is a very nice beach. I highly recommend it.

Holidays spent very well, thanks to the kindness of Maria and her family. The B&B is furnished with good taste, really lovely. Excellent cleanliness. For any request or question, Maria has always been available. Good breakfast, small but we didn't miss anything. Every morning there was a new treat. Excellent that there is parking inside and the possibility to wash and hang clothes. The only flaw is the location. For anything, you need a car. The beach within walking distance is very uncomfortable and rocky. However, all in all, we had such a good time, so I think having to use the car is not a reason not to choose the Salento sun B&B. Thanks again.
