Description
We have tried to make our home as eco-sustainable, off-grid and quiet as possible. We are in the heart of Salento, in the south of Puglia, about 25 minutes from Gallipoli, 30 minutes from Otranto, 40 minutes from Leuca and 30 minutes from Lecce. We are a couple, Stefania and Alessandro and we are hosts on workaway to seek help in carrying on our little house with maintenance and gardening work. We offer a small, very intimate wooden house with a dry bathroom and an outdoor kitchen in a very quiet garden where you can relax and enjoy wonderful sunsets. In your free time, you can visit the wonderful coasts of Salento for a regenerating swim in the sea.
