Our host, Francesca was amazing! She was so helpful with restaurant suggestions and information of the area, A very special host with a very special home!!! This B&B was amazing and one of the best experiences we have ever had! The views from this property were spectacular! The Breakfast was super delicious with lots of choices! The town of Castro is one of my favorite places to visit in Italy!! The only thing we wish is that we booked more than 4 nights here. Next time we will book a week or two. This is a place you will NEVER want to leave. Thank you so much Francesca for sharing your home!

The host, Francesca, was kind and helpful, and we enjoyed the breakfasts. The property and the accommodation are beautiful. Castro is a lovely and quiet small town where we enjoyed walking around and had lunch in the Centro Storico. We spent time on a drive down the coast to Santa Maria di Leuca, had delicious gelato in Tricase, went hiking on the Sentiero delle Cipolliane, and swam in the beautiful water at Il Ciolo. Also enjoyed visiting Otranto and swam in the sea at Torre Sant’Andrea. I highly recommend this accommodation!

Francesca and Il Posto delle Fragole are a Puglia Dream come true. We just spent 8 days at her simple and spectacular place above Grotto Zinzulusa. We can’t decide who/what/where was more special . . . Francesca’s warm welcome, gentle helpfulness, delicious breakfasts . . . her home’s location, spirit, charm . . . or the p entirety of the place . . . .

I recently enjoyed a remarkable stay at a studio rental in Puglia that left me utterly enchanted. The studio boasts a serene atmosphere with breathtaking sea views that can be relished from a shaded terrace. Access to a secluded swimming spot down the cliffs added a touch of exclusivity to my experience. The location is perfect – close to main tourist sites like Gallipoli, Lecce, and Otranto. Exploring the old town on foot was a pleasure, with a variety of restaurants to choose from. The convenience of on-site parking made my trips hassle-free. The host's warmth and kindness made me feel at home. Delicious breakfasts highlighted local flavors. The room's charming decor added to the overall cozy vibe. In a nutshell, this studio rental is a haven of tranquility and beauty in the heart of Puglia. Highly recommended for an unforgettable escape.

This place is paradise on Earth The view is simply breathtaking The private access to the small calla (bring a mask to explore the cristal clear water!!!!), the olive trees, the old stones, the quietness and tranquility… everything is dreamlike The location is ideal, with the charming Castro village within a 5min walk distance Francesca is the best host you could wish for Will definitely go back one day

We loved the tranquil and scenic setting of the house on the clifftops overlooking the sea. The clean and well-equipped room, private beach access, and proximity to Castro and Otranto were all fantastic. Most importantly, our host, Francesca, was exceptional, offering helpful recommendations and serving delicious breakfasts. It was a remarkable experience, and we highly recommend it

Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations

Francesca was an amazing host. Spent 5 days here. Such a welcoming and wonderful space. Everything we needed and exceptional recommendations- a memorable experience and certainly one to put on your come-again lists. Stunning views and cheery hospitality. Well done Francesca. A la proxima!

It is so peaceful and beautiful! We loved all the details Francesca had with us. I stayed with two friends for a few days and we loved everything. Very private, comfortable beds and having breakfast together outside was lovely.

Nothing negative to say, our stay was great.

Beautiful, rustic and tranquil retreat with stunning sea views. Breakfast on the terrace or afternoons reading on a sun lounger were highlights for us. Castro town and marina within easy walking distance. Francesca was a wonderful host!

We had such a lovely stay! the photos don’t do the accomodation justice. Such beautiful landscaping and the property is kept in pristine condition. Delicious breakfast in the AM to have on the balcony and then off for a day of exploring the incredible swim spots and restaurants that are all so close by. I can’t wait to come back again!
