Tenuta La Spezia

The owners were very kind, and it was a great spot for a relaxing stay. The location is excellent for reaching the lovely beaches just a few kilometers away. From the website photos, the exterior seems to have been recently renovated.

I first called to ask for a five-day quote and turned it down because the price was outrageous. A few days later, I found the same property on a popular booking app for much less on those dates, so I tried to book. My reservation still hadn't been accepted after 24 hours. When I asked, they said it was full, which I could understand, and thought perhaps I'd left it too late. To check, I asked an acquaintance to call for a quote for the same dates. There were apparently still rooms available, but at a much, much higher price than the app showed. They can set whatever price they want, but they should remove the app listing so people don't waste their time.

It's surrounded by nature and only a few kilometers from some of Salento's most beautiful beaches, especially Otranto and the lovely beaches at the Alimini Lakes. A good choice for families or young couples. Okay.

The owners were very welcoming, and everything was spotlessly clean. The independent apartments are practical and comfortable, and the property itself is beautiful. A very relaxing stay.
