“Tranquillità, pace, tradizione, ospitalità eccezionale, discrezione, professionalità, cibo squisito in mezzo agli ulivi”
Everything was just perfect. The host, Mrs. Pasqualina, is a wonderful person who welcomes guests with kindness, availability, discretion, and a lot of passion. The property is new, stylishly furnished, and very comfortable. The room was very cozy, the bathroom products were excellent and fragrant, and the furniture was functional and pleasant. The location is very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by olive trees, yet only a few minutes on foot from the historic center of the lovely village of Maruggio and a couple of kilometers from Campomarino and its beautiful beaches. But above all, Pasqualina, full of enthusiasm and the queen of hospitality, made every day special. She prepared a fantastic breakfast each morning with exquisite cakes she made herself, delicious pastries, superb cappuccino, juices, fresh fruit, yogurt, and more. We also tried the home restaurant! With a day’s notice, Pasqualina arranged a typical dinner for us to enjoy on the B&B terrace overlooking the olive groves, agreeing on the menu and our preferences. It was the best dinner of our entire stay in Puglia. Pasqualina made handmade orecchiette for us, and prepared a variety of treats taking our requests into account (no fish, no garlic). We tasted mozzarella, ricotta, smoked burrata, fried ricotta meatballs, fava and chicory puree, excellent local chickpeas, fritters, roasted peppers, the “carosello” (a local cucumber-like vegetable, more delicate), small fritters with cherry tomatoes and local oil, eggplant parmigiana, pork chop, sautéed mushrooms… and finished with a marvelous spoon dessert of sponge cake, berry jam, pastry cream… all accompanied by a great local white wine from the native Verdeca grape. We loved everything about the property and the owner! Only regret is that we could only stay for two nights. Thank you, Pasqualina!
