What guests say

Guest reviews consistently praise the high level of cleanliness and well-kept facilities, as well as the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts, who are generous with tips for exploring the area. The location is considered strategic for visiting the Salento’s best beaches, though a car is often recommended. Travelers appreciate the good value for money, the welcoming atmosphere, and the chance to stay in both modern settings and charming traditional buildings like trulli. Breakfasts are frequently described as plentiful and satisfying. Some minor issues mentioned are occasional noise from nearby roads or activities, and occasional malfunctions of some amenities. Overall, the property is a solid choice for those seeking comfort, cordiality, and an authentic local experience.

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 here from August 22nd to 25th and we had a great time. It is a trullo. Inside everything is new. The owners are very good. The location is perfect. There is a refrigerator, a small kitchen, private parking, and a lot of privacy. We had a really good time. Thank you again, we will return soon.

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.
