The Experience

You’re in the historic centre of the town and the doors and walls of the houses are decorated with carefully painted and embellished poetry – a fabulous arrival. Leonardo greets you with a welcome juice and their own olives and will show you to your room. All are different but in each there is style and the ancient Lecce stone barrel vaults blend cleverly with modern furniture.

The large breakfast room is a grand place to roost with comfortable sofa and chairs and a large antique fireplace – help yourselves to herbal teas and coffee. Spend sunny days in the garden, cool off in the pool surrounded by flowers and herbs, nip up to the roof terrace in spring and summer for an aperitif at sunset.

Breakfasts are a joyful mix of typical sweet delights from the area such as pasticciotti or cornetti, then cured meats and cheeses, eggs, bacon and more. Wind down in the garden afterwards or wander into the main square for an authentic Italian experience; this is an artistic town.

Introducing

Leonardo Orlando

Twinkly Leonardo has Apulian origins but was brought up in Belgium. After working around the world in the restaurant business he came home to breathe new life into this lovely old building. He is very hands on in running the B&B, cooks the breakfasts and can help with any questions you may have. He is a consummate host.
