Stay in. Go out. We'll arrange both.

Everything here can be done from a sunbed. Cook with a chef, fire the pizza oven, or let us book the boat, the beach club and the winery. Tell us what you like and we'll take care of the rest.

At the house

The open-air kitchen, the wood oven and the long table under the pergola were built for evenings like these.

So fire. So table. So late.

Private chef dinner

A chef cooks a Salento menu in the open-air kitchen: burrata, raw prawns from Gallipoli, slow-cooked meats and whatever the garden is giving that week. Dinner is served at the long table under the pergola. You don't lift a plate.

  • For the whole group, up to 10 at the table
  • Menu agreed with you beforehand
  • Local wine pairing on request
Price on request

So dough. So fire. So yours.

Pizza night with a pizzaiolo

A pizza maker lights the wood oven in the afternoon and brings dough that has rested since morning. Everyone stretches and tops their own, and the children get their own station. Eat it standing up, by the pool.

  • Wood-fired, in the outdoor kitchen
  • Children very welcome
  • A good first night
Price on request

So flour. So thumb. So Puglia.

Cooking class

A local cook shows you how to shape orecchiette by hand, the way it is done in every kitchen in Salento, with a sauce to go with it. Then you sit down and eat what you made.

  • About three hours
  • For beginners and keen cooks
  • Recipes to take home
Price on request

Concierge

We know the coast, the clubs and the cellars. Tell us the day, and we'll book it, arrange a driver and send you the details.

So blue. So far from the crowd.

Private boat day

A wooden gozzo or a small yacht from Gallipoli along the Ionian coast, with a skipper who knows which coves stay quiet. Swim stops, lunch on board, back for sunset.

  • Half day or full day
  • Skipper included
  • Lunch on board on request
Price on request

So sunbed. So sorted.

Beach club reservations

In July and August the good sunbeds on the Ionian coast go weeks ahead. We reserve the right lido for the day: calm and sandy with children, music and cocktails without.

  • Gallipoli and Porto Cesareo coast
  • Sunbeds and lunch tables reserved
  • Booked before you arrive
Price on request

So baroque. So old. So close.

Cultural day trips

Lecce's carved stone churches with a guide, the mosaic floor of Otranto cathedral, Gallipoli's old town on its island, and the lighthouse at Santa Maria di Leuca where two seas meet.

  • Private guide on request
  • Driver available
  • Half or full day
Price on request

So Negroamaro. So Primitivo.

Winery visits

Family wineries of Salento, with cellars and tastings among the bush vines: Negroamaro, Primitivo and the region's famous rosé. A driver takes you there and brings you back, so nobody has to count glasses.

  • Tastings with local food
  • Driver included
  • Morning or late afternoon
Price on request
