Le Castellane

The place is recently renovated and kept in great shape, with spotless rooms and bathrooms, and air conditioning in the rooms. It’s a peaceful countryside spot with fresh air, while Gallipoli is about 5 km away and Baia Verde beach around 4 km. The owners are kind and helpful, and Mrs. Ada makes delicious homemade breakfast treats. She also puts together fruit and yogurt coolers for a snack or packed lunch. I’d be happy to come back.

After just one day, it felt like home and the stress had faded. We’re planning to come back for future holidays. The location is easy to reach and really relaxing, and the hosts know the area well and gave us great suggestions. Breakfast felt authentic, and you can tell they care about what they do. Ask them about the top beaches. Ten stars for the quality! A picture says it all.

The old olive oil mill has been expertly renovated into a place that feels peaceful and good for the soul, only a short distance from Gallipoli and at reasonable rates. We spent ten days there in July 2018 and loved the rest, comfort, and quiet. Breakfasts were excellent, with fresh ingredients presented beautifully, and everything was clean. The owners were so friendly. It was too beautiful. Thanks, Teresa, Neva, and Alessio.

Breakfast was the real highlight for us. In the masseria’s shared room, Mrs. Ada made coffee, cappuccino, or hot tea to suit each guest. The table was beautifully laid, with homemade jams, cakes, and traditional Apulian sweets, plus fruit, yogurt, cereal, pastries, and juice. She could also make savory food fresh. Eating together made us feel at home, and we met lovely fellow guests who shared tips on places to visit and restaurants for dinner. My girlfriend and I spent a wonderful Ferragosto week in Puglia at this B&B. We flew into Brindisi and drove for about an hour. Alessio, one of the owners, welcomed us, showed us around, and explained three simple courtesy rules: breakfast is from 8:30 to 9:30, rooms need to be vacated by 10:30 for cleaning, and sand should be rinsed off outside so it doesn’t clog the shower drain. Our room was simple but had what we needed: a wardrobe, TV, air conditioning, and bath linens. It was cleaned daily, with sheets changed after three days. They also provided two beach towels, a cooler, and ice packs, little comforts that are especially useful when flying and unable to bring those things along. We felt at home and well looked after throughout. The staff are warm and welcoming. Highly recommended, a 10 without hesitation. Thanks for a wonderful holiday! Mattia & Emanuela
