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.

Great place to stay
We had a wonderful week with fabulous weather. The property was perfect, hidden behind a little piazza and within a short walk of all the amenities. It was a great base for the area and the local beaches and towns were fascinating with wonderful food. We would highly recommend both the area and the property. Alex was an excellent host checking in with us to make sure all was ok. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home.

Love it
We fell in love with Bagnolo from the first moment when we arrived to the main piazza.It has the magic calming atmosphere. There is everything what you need:small supermarket,two bars,post,pasticceria with fresh delicious pastries,nice restaurant(Toto)... It's close to the beaches.small villages,15 min. drive to Otranto and 30 min. to Lecce. Alex's house is in the center of the village,two minutes from main piazza.It's beautiful ,clean and comfortable.The roof terrace is really nice for relaxing and evening aperitivo. The communication with Alex was great and easy.He gave us plenty of recommendations for a nice local restaurants,beaches and places to see. We can't wait to be back :) Highly recommended!

Stunning Property
The property is absolutely beautiful, tucked away in its own private courtyard just behind the main thoroughfare, only a few minutes walk from the shops and restaurants and yet very private. The roof terrace was our favourite spot at the end of the day, sitting with a glass of wine and literally being in the sun until it disappeared. Highly recommended.

Thank you !
Alex is as nice and welcoming as a friend who would be expecting you to 1/ Feel yourself at home and 2/Share the best of the great emotions you will get in the really authentic Bagnolo and the fantastic Puglia region (wonderful and true people, mind-blowing beaches, generous sun, great and diverse collection of villages/city and natural areas, and overwhelming food and wine quality). It all worked 100% for us. Thank you Alex and à bientôt...

Being Italian for a week
Staying in Alex's beautiful house in Bagnolo del Salento was a real tonic. Bagnolo itself is a tranquil, 'local's' town, where no-one speaks English but you still feel at home. And the house itself is just beautiful - an obvious labour of love to restore by someone with excellent taste. A fantastic mixture of the old and new, with all mod cons and perfectly clean. It's a great base from which to explore southern Puglia, and to 'become Italian' for a week! Such a beautiful region, with so many unspoilt places to visit - in fact . . . don't come here, you'll hate it!!

About the host

Hosted by Alex Di Re

Host profile image
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.
Please note that due to the increase in energy costs, the Air Conditionining is optional - 8€ / day - Reasonable use policy applies. Usage is monitored via app and based on past usage statistics. Sorry, payable directly to me as there is no opportunity to make it optional in the platform.
