Masseria Salento '500

The masserie are worth seeing, including Zanzara, a medieval site dating to the 15th century. The atmosphere is charming and the service is good, but the menu is limited, and neither the food nor its price lives up to the setting. They offer fish and fried dishes, though the service is poor. Salento itself is wonderful, with lovely beaches like Punta, Pizzo, Punta Prosciutto, Lido Marini, and Spiaggia delle Dune, all beautiful and well kept. The roads, nearby area, and traffic conditions could be much better.

Gabriele and his mother made us feel warmly welcomed at this countryside B&B. The rooms are spacious, clean, quaint, and comfortable. We spent our second night in the 15th-century tower, with access to its terrace, and it was stunning. Breakfast was generous, with homemade cakes, fruit, and croissants that were always warm. There's even a small pool in summer. A magical place, highly recommended!

It's a peaceful oasis, set in a large park inside a historic residence, with furnishings and an atmosphere that recall an earlier time. The staff were friendly and helpful, and Porto Cesareo and Lecce are both nearby. The only bother was mosquitoes outside. Thankfully, the nets kept them from getting indoors.

A welcoming, homely place with friendly staff. Breakfast was good, and they can provide a wide choice of sweet and savory options if you ask.
