Scene
Basic and homey bed and breakfast
Behind a gate, guests are greeted by an old-fashioned country residence with a corrugated metal overhang. Inside, the atmosphere is simple and basic. There’s some colorful paper cutouts and basic paintings lining the walls and some retro-looking furniture in the simple kitchen area. Outside is a covered patio for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding garden and countryside, which is dotted with palm trees.
Location
Right by the beach, but otherwise isolated
The bed and breakfast is a two-minute walk to a small and fairly private beach. It’s in the countryside of Punta Prosciutto, with mostly other bed and breakfasts, private homes, and a bar nearby. Porto Cesareo is about a 20-minute drive while some of the main tourist towns in the region, such as Lecce and Gallipoli, are about 45 to 50 minutes away. A car is recommended and parking is free.
Rooms
Simple and clean rooms
The four air-conditioned rooms are simple, but impeccably clean and filled with bright colors. The bottom of the walls are painted in a lime green, with bright pink or blue patterned bedspreads and orange furniture. There are mosaic tiled tables and a pair of white fabric chairs. Wardrobe cupboards provide a hanging rod with hangers and space to store belongings. Bathrooms are on the small side, with bright blue or orange tiles and small stall showers.
Features
Helpful owner and plentiful breakfasts
The owner, Salvatore, takes care of everything, including a plentiful breakfast with a choice of local pastries and fruit and sometimes a barbecue in the garden. He also makes dinner and sightseeing recommendations. Outside, there is an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. The water on the property is not drinkable, but bottled water is provided. Dogs are generally not allowed, but check with the owner in advance to see if special accommodations can be made. Don't expect Wi-Fi.
