About this property
19th Century architecturally unique luxury house 15 Minutes drive from beaches
Bagnolo is a simple working village in the fertile Salento area of Puglia; benefiting from an artisan patisserie/ ice-cream parlour, three restaurants/ pizzerias, two simple bars, a butcher, two mini supermarkets and a pharmacy. It's well placed to explore the southern part of the Salento.
The quality and price of the food is very good wherever you go. During July and August concerts, religious, cultural and food festivals take place every evening across the region. In a two week period it would not be difficult to visit a different beach every day within a maximum of 30 minutes drive, the closest being the white beaches of Alimini, only 15 minutes away.
If you are looking for a relaxing time in an architecturally unique setting free from tourists then please consider my house for your holiday. I do my utmost to make your stay of the highest quality and actually take genuine pleasure in knowing that my guests discover this amazing place and it's people.

About the area
Bagnolo del Salento
Located in Bagnolo del Salento, this holiday home is by the sea. While the natural beauty of Baia Dei Turchi Beach and Alimini Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Otranto Waterfront.
La Cutura Botanical Garden and Imperial Pasticceria are also worth visiting. Kayaking, scuba diving and snorkelling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Alex Di Re
My name is Alex Di Re, originally Italian but living in the UK since 40 years. The house is refurbished to a high specification so you can enjoy a wonderful stay. I visit once a year with my family to eat like a king, swim like a fish and absorb the slow pace of this little known corner of Italy. I love it here namely because the people are discreet and friendly, you can buy pizza by the metre, the ice cream is awesome, the sea is like a swimming pool and an Aperol Spritz will cost you a few euros. My favourite non-beachy places nearby are Lecce (The Florence of the South) and Otranto, a fortified town on the sea. I have extensive information on the village ad area and practical suggestions so you don't waste time and can just relax.
Why they chose this property
1. The house sleeps 6 people in comfort on good beds.
2. It has all you need to be comfortable.
3. It is equipped with ventilator fans and optional aircon.
4. The bathroom is wonderful to pamper yourself.
5. Bathroom towels and linens are included.
6. Kitchen diner offers a large communal space with good cooking utensils.
7. You can walk to three restaurants and have a drink. There are mosquito nets on bedroom windows.
8. Even locals say "wow" when they walk in.
9. I love sitting on the terrace right under the church tower.
10. It's private yet in the heart of the village.
11. The area south of Lecce is the best in Salento because the coast is more varied compared to the rather boring beaches further north.
12. I love how in a maximum of 25 minutes you can drive to a different amazing beach or rocky bay every day!
13. In July and August all the villages compete to offer religious and food festivals, there is something to do every evening.

What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location. The house is rather unique with high vaulted ceilings and everything is in excellent condition and of good quality. It's right in the pedestrian centre and remarkable because it is adjacent to the church. The roof terrace is a special place to sit with an aperitif in the evening and watch the sun move across the church.
The church bells keep the rythm of the day, calling the faithful to daily mass; you can hear the singing sometimes. You'll be amazed how in a few days you will be living in sync with them and village life, truly and deeply relaxing. In the local shops you can buy fresh fish daily and all good quality basics. Nearby there are historic towns like Maglie and Otranto.
Three ventilator fans are provided free of charge.
Air Conditionining is provided free of charge - Reasonable use policy applies ie please switch it off when you're out. Usage is monitored via app and based on past usage statistics. Thanks for your understanding.
