“True authentic Italian experience, amazing stay!”

We had an amazing stay at Giuseppe & Daniela’s beautiful home. They welcome you with open arms & amazing hospitality. True authentic Italian experience. The property is in a small town but an amazing base to explore all of what Salento has to offer. Giuseppe gave us recommendations of what to do everyday and even took us on a guided tour of Lecce. Super cute cats and dogs also :) Do not hesitate to book. We will definitely be back :)

“An Italian dream come true. Perfection”

It is hard to put into words what staying at Casale del Forno is like other than saying it’s like receiving the warmest hug ever! This place and the whole experience was perfection and faultless. We were welcomed and treated like family by Daniela, Giuseppe, Mikaela and their family of animals. Kindness in a cup! Home made food using home grown ingredients shared in their home, the most incredible garden to wander through, rooms with stories and soul, a wealth of information and history knowledge shared. 2 nights was not enough! We needed more days! It is the perfect place to base yourself when exploring down south. We will cherish this beautiful experience for life.

“Timeless Charm and Warm Hospitality in Southern Puglia”

We had the pleasure of staying in this truly captivating accommodation in southern Puglia, where the essence of a small Italian town is beautifully preserved. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Our rooms boasted authentic furnishings with a unique charm, all maintained in pristine condition. It felt like stepping back a few hundred years, surrounded by the historical beauty of the area, yet with all the comforts of cleanliness and tidiness. The breakfast was a highlight of our stay, with many ingredients sourced directly from the host's garden. The freshness and quality of the food provided a delightful start to our day. The expansive yard and garden were equally impressive, offering tranquil spots to relax and unwind. Parking was hassle-free, with enough space available on the surrounding streets and square. For any necessities, a hypermarket was conveniently located just a five-minute drive away. Overall, our visit was a remarkable blend of past and present, where traditional charm meets exceptional hospitality. Highly recommended for those looking to experience the authentic spirit of Puglia.

“A cosy home away from home.”

Giuseppe and Daniella were the most accommodating and kind hosts. Giuseppe was full of information of the local area and recommendations from local food to the beaches! Daniella made an incredible breakfast that changed everyday. The room was exactly like the pictures, and the grounds even more beautiful. From a bottle of wine upon arriving to the friendliest dogs to keep you company, this is the perfect place to relax while on holiday!

Atmosphere, calmness, environment, attitude of the owners. Excellent, wholesome breakfast, sweet and salty. A paradise on earth for animal lovers.

“perfect”

Daniela and Giuseppe are such open and friendly people and they made us feel like family. We had a wonderful stay and were sad to leave. They fulfilled all our wishes, the room was spectacular, the breakfast was delicious and our days were just wonderful. They had great tips on where to go, where to eat and the best beaches around. We were also able to go horse riding with Giuseppe and it was great fun.

“Much more than what we expected!”

Amazing house, but even better the beautiful couple making guest feel home! Please do not look anymore, if you are planning to visit south Puglia, this is a perfect base to discover it.

Guiseppe and Daniella are special. They clearly love life and what they do. They are intereasted in their guests and are the perfect hosts. The Breakfasts were exceptional made by the hand of Daniella / Local Hams, Omlettes, Ricotta cheese with local honey, warm bread, fantastic coffee, Tarts made with melt in the mouth shortbread and home made jams - One particular homemade tart made with shortcrust pastry, creme anlglaise topped with strawberries. Anything we couldnt eat was wrapped and given to us in parcels for our days exploring the beautiful countryside and swimming spots. Guiseppe was mine of local knowledge and but also a really interesting person to talk to - his knowledge of the locas history of the region and abroad was both informative and really helpful. They are charming and were eager to go to any lengths to make our stay in their beautiful accomodation as special for us as possible. They and the ladies that work with them epitomise hospitality -

“This place is absolutely wonderful! If you go to Puglia, you should definitely stay with Daniela and Joseph at their bea”

The place is fantastic, beautiful, authentic and cozy, The hosts are AMAZING!

“paradiso in Salento!”

with hindsight we should have booked here for our whole stay in Salento. we spent two nights with Daniela and Giuseppe and we didn’t want to leave - one of the best places we had the pleasure to stay at. the place is magical, you’re surrounded by herbs, plants and trees. everything in the casale, rooms included, is selected from the finest materials and with greatest care (Daniela has a superbly fine eye). both Daniela and Giuseppe are wonderful souls, passionate about their land and with endless stories to share, and suggestions on how to enhance your trip to really live Salento to its fullest. proudly homemade, using their products (or locally sourced), breakfast was the best moment of our days. there’s a few adorable and cuddly pets to play with too 🐶🐱 we miss it all already! grazie e a presto ✨

“Daniella and Giuseppe have created a beautiful authentic Italian experience. Thank you.”

The breakfast was a highlight of the trip. The hosts work very hard to make this an unforgettable trip.

“Fantastic”

Daniela and Giuseppe were fantastic hosts, very nice, flexible and very generous. We felt like special guests throughout our whole stay. The rest of the staff is incredibly nice, too. The Casale is a gorgeous place, with a very relaxed and authentic vibe, where you feel at home. The breakfast is done fresh every morning with home-made dishes and everything sourced locally. Highly recommend!

“An unforgettable stay in the heart of Salento”

Daniela and Giuseppe will do anything to make your stay comfortable and unforgettable. From the breakfast in the courtyard- sweet and savoury, with homemade specialities, to the care of the rooms and the garden, your stay in the Casale will immerse you in the heart of Salento.
