A true pugliese experience
This jewel of a house has everything to fall in love with: a secret garden, a roof terrace overlooking historic Galatina, a perfectly equipped kitchen and three wonderfully comfortable and spacious bedrooms. You find yourselves in the centre of Puglia with almost equal distance to the Adriatic and Ionian coasts with lots to do, all of which was summarised by the always helpful hosts in a brilliant brochure. We truly recommend il giardino secreto and ideally you want to stay all year round.... Huge thanks for the memorable stay.

Enchanting!
This beautifully-renovated, well-equipped and comfortable house, with its large roof terrace to enjoy the sun and its unique orchard garden for shade and calm, is not only a most pleasing place to spend time, but also the perfect base for exploring the historic towns, the countryside, and the coastline of this still largely unspoiled region of Italy. We loved it!

Idyllic home away from home!
From the moment we walked in, we loved this beautiful house. The stone and woodwork features are stunning. Excellent sleeping and living areas. The kitchen is fantastically equipped with everything you could need. It was a joy to walk from the kitchen into the gorgeous secret garden. where the citrus grove provided a wonderful source of fresh orange juice each morning, and a great place to relax throughout the day. We also enjoyed some delightful meals from the outdoor barbeque. The house is well-located in easy walking distance to shops, supermarkets, and restaurants. We loved visiting the markets and stalls in the town squares and cobble-stoned streets. There always seemed to be some local festivity to enjoy! One night we stumbled into a wonderful street party. The local people were very friendly and welcoming. We chose to travel without a car, and found Galatina to be very easy to get around, and the train and bus services were excellent. Thanks to Jon and Rebecca for their hospitality, to Cristiano for his assistance and also to Leila the lovely neighbour.

About the host

Hosted by Jon & Rebecca

Host profile image
Hi, we're Jon and Rebecca. We live in London with our little daughter and son, and are great lovers of Italy, and in particular of this beautiful region. We're proud to offer our house in Galatina for you to enjoy too.

Why they chose this property

It's a lovely house to stay in, to enjoy the town and to use as a base for exploring the Salento region. The large, private orchard garden is a very rare and beautiful feature in a centro storico, while the roof terrace is perfect for cocktails in the evening sun. There is a great deal of space, peace and privacy, yet it's located in the historic centre of a beautiful town with all of the convenience of nearby restaurants, shops and markets.

What makes this property unique

This beautiful region is famous for its landscape and climate, its rich history, the warmth of its people and deep appreciation for fresh, locally-grown food. We love the baroque architecture of the historic centre, as well as the fact that the community has a very active social calendar with festivals all year long. And we're bang in the middle of the beautiful Salento region, with easy access to the many stunning beaches on both the Ionian and Adriatic coasts.
