pedro luis

Very nice place, architecture in the typical style of the area. Vaulted ceiling in the shape of a star, high and therefore cool. Direct access from the street. Comfortable bed. Very efficient air conditioning, refrigerator, TV, etc. Room 101 for two people.

Everything was perfect, but please do something about room 101. It feels like a solarium at 7 a.m.: too much light already comes in through that large window. Also, one thing that is particularly annoying is a whistling noise between the pipes and the water heater; I don't know where it comes from, but sleeping with that noise is really difficult. Otherwise the room is clean and nice, and the staff are courteous and very kind. Rest is essential and sleep is fundamental on vacation.

The structure is very comfortable, equipped with all amenities, in a strategic area (close to the station and all the main points of interest in Galatina). An important added value is the kindness of Stefano, who kept my bag after check-out and before my evening departure from Galatina. Thank you.

Impeccable. Beautiful structure, everything is clean, convenient for the center and also for reaching the most beautiful beaches of Salento. The managers and also the owner of the bar for breakfast are very kind.

The B&B offers spacious areas and beautiful rooms with a huge terrace. Too bad the rooms are marked by guest neglect. The managers, however, are very kind and super attentive. The breakfast in the pastry shop deserves a mark of 10 and praise.

I stayed 13 nights at the Zona Franca property, I must say I had a great time. TV and air conditioning. Very nice, clean and always fragrant room, very kind and helpful owners. The breakfast at a bar 10 meters away affiliated with the B&B is fabulous to say the least. Quiet place. The restaurant pub pizzeria of this property is also recommended. Good quality and good price. I will return and definitely recommend it. THANK YOU.

Friendliness and hospitality at the top. The Zona Franca property has a pub pizzeria right below the rooms that has excellent cuisine as well as a beautiful location. Based in Galatina, which also has a beautiful historic center, it is easy to move around the entire Salento, reaching all the most beautiful seaside resorts within half an hour by car. I will definitely come back.
