The building is truly unique (we stayed in the Maisonette apartment) - the ceiling and the mantelpiece are like from bygone eras. The hosts are exceptionally friendly people who make their guests feel unconditionally welcome. The AC is really strong, which means even the hottest Salentino summer didn’t cause us any trouble during the night. Ugento is a lovely little city where you can experience authentic Apulian life without having to drive to the beaches for too long. Definitely try the bakery next door - it’s die to for!

The different apartments are only separated by doors, albeit thick ones ones, which means that you can hear your neighbors quite clearly. We were lucky and our neighbors were quiet people.
