Casale alle Vigne

Boris is the heart of this fairytale place. He's kind, always available, and clearly loves his work and his guests. Thank you, Boris, I can't wait to return! The farmhouse itself is surrounded by greenery and has a large, beautiful pool that's open all day. Our room was one of the older ones, but it was immaculately clean and lovely. The whole property felt magical, and we could really feel the true identity of Puglia in it. Everything was perfect, right down to the smallest detail.

Boris welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips that made the holiday even better. He's kind, helpful, and friendly. The place is a quiet oasis with a lovely room, a beautifully kept garden, and a stunning pool, all surrounded by greenery. It's just outside Nardò and handy for everything, making it a great base for exploring Salento.

The check-in staff were professional and helpful, and gave us useful information for our stay. The garden was tidy, and the pool was well looked after and cleaned daily. The rooms, though, felt a bit neglected: the remotes had dead batteries, the furnishings were very basic, and some doors wouldn't shut properly. Too bad the villa is right next to the main road.

The place was extremely dirty when we arrived, and there was a moldy smell coming from the shower. After we told the owner, he came with a colleague to clean it. They used strong chemicals and told us to stay out of the bathroom for half an hour. When we pointed out other spots in the room that were still dirty, they reacted angrily. We packed our things and left. Not worth a single star.
