Scenic views, plenty of sunbeds, beautiful architecture. The nature and the surroundings are amazing! Francesca was very nice and friendly, really appreciated the recommendations for surrounding spots to visit! The private area with access to the sea was marvelous and breathtaking but do take into account that the rocks are quite steep so proceed with caution:) The property had some really cute cats and we enjoyed hanging out with them!

Wonderful, wonderful experience ! The b&b is located on a hill overlooking a cave on one side and amazing cliffs on the other, and includes a short and scenic walk down to a private swim spot. We had breakfast in the sun with a view. The bathroom had all the amenities. The host Francesca is so warm and lovely - we felt very comfortable here and would return 100%.

“Peace and quiet on a gorgeous part of the Mediterranean coast.”
This was our favourite part of our holiday so far. Gorgeous setting overlooking the ocean with options for swimming within easy walking distance. Away from the busier areas but still within easy walk of the old town, lovely peaceful relaxing place to unwind. We enjoyed walking back after dinner along the quiet road. Francesca is a warm and helpful hostess who prepared a delicious breakfast for us each morning which we enjoyed eating al fresco looking at the sea. We appreciated the recommendations for sights, restaurants and beaches in the area. Staying at Il poste delle fragole was when it felt that our holiday had really started.

Beautiful location and wonderful charming property with great views. We got up before breakfast and walked 5 mins down the hill and jumped into clear sparkling sea. Fabulous

“Beautiful sea views!”
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!

“Heaven :)”
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!

“Serene location, well-appointed room, and exceptional hospitality provided by Francesca”
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

“The property is very peaceful and extremely beautiful. The hosts are very kind and attentive.”
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.

“Cliff property with great breakfast, views and private access to the sea!”
The property is amazing and in a great location. Walking distance to Castro but recommend to have a car or Vespa as there are beautiful beaches near by. The host is the absolute best. She gave us great recommendations and she made+delivered breakfast to us every morning. Would highly recommend.
