Vacation rentals with a patio in Torre Vado

It was such a pleasure to spend a few days at this hidden gem, hosted by Emanuele, his wife Laura, sister Giulia, and parents Simonetta and Tomasso, all of whom made us feel right at home. We were spoiled by the daily breakfasts they prepared, and Emanuele provided many great local recommendations for us. The pool and surroundings are so peaceful, and the room was very comfortable. We could not have asked for a better place to explore Salento from, or for more generous and welcoming hosts!

Perfect stay right near the beach that felt like home! This property has super comfortable beds, nice linens and many little things that made for a very relaxing stay. We thought we’d visit a number of the villages in the area, but found ourselves just wanting to relax at the house and on the local beaches instead. If we come back to the area, we are 100% staying here again. Also, although there are good restaurants in town, cooking was easy bc there’s a BBQ on the patio, lots of spices and pots/pans to cook with and plenty of plates/cups/glasses/etc. It’s a well stocked kitchen - much more so than many other places I’ve stayed. If you’re thinking about this place, stop looking at other options and book it. You won’t regret your decision. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!!

Great host, great location (ground floor) right on the rocky beach, beautiful small sandy beach 300 m away with management (Lido Pazze), great large, long and flat sandy beach about 3 km away - starting right behind the port of Torre San Giovanni to Posto Veccio -, ideal for families with toilets and management. Crystal clear, turquoise water. The pizzeria is practically right next door. 400 m away is a new, very good restaurant "Clanto" (5 Google stars) for Neapolitan pizza and Apulian cuisine The kitchen is very well equipped, vinegar, oil, spices, sugar, coffee…tools etc. Boat can be rented in Gallipoli or Santa Maria di Leuca about 25-35 minutes away (the landlords in Torre S.Giovanni were not available). Very good starting point for exploring Ri Taranto, Santa Maria di Leuca, Otranto, Lecce. Unfortunately, we were far too short on site, but the apartment was only available for 3 nights... 😢 So far, we don't like the Adriatic side as much as the Ionian side

Had a wonderful stay and the hosts could not have been more welcoming. Beautiful apartment that is very centrally located. Thank you for everything!

We had a lovely stay in Lecce, thanks to Marion. She was extremely kind and welcoming, and went above and beyond by providing thoughtful, detailed recommendations that truly enhanced our experience. She checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, which we appreciated so much. The apartment itself was beautiful, comfortable, and full of character, and such a peaceful place to return to after exploring the city. Unfortunately, we had to leave earlier than planned due to a long drive and poorly timed flights on our part, but we truly wish we could have stayed longer. This was a 10/10 experience, and we hope to return one day. Highly recommend!!

we were blown away with the apartment, the terrace and view were amazing, very well equipped with everything you need, check in was so easy, Tonia's communication was excellent, one problem, we wish we could of stayed longer.

A great apartment in a great location. It was a quick walk down to the marina and into the old town as well. There was a beautiful view of the sea and lovely garden as well. The host was very responsive and always made sure we had no problems. Check in and check out was very easy, and we were met by Alfonso for check in and he showed us around the apartment and explained how things worked. The apartment itself came with everything you would need; it was spacious, cool and clean. There is also a dedicated parking spot. We would definitely stay here again!

great accommodation, check-in, welcome. Comfortable, clean. I recommend it.

A real gem! Very tastefully and carefully renovated house. Check-in and check-out with Marco totally straightforward. The location was perfect for me and has a very pleasant environment. Parabita is charming and a highlight for art lovers. Beautiful beaches nearby with water that fascinated me. Excursions to the surrounding towns were exciting for me. Very authentic. I am thrilled and will definitely recommend Marco.

The small apartment is really fantastically located. The upstream road hardly bothered us, as the view of the sea and the dune landscape - both in stormy-rainy weather and in sunshine - is simply fantastic. We liked to take the slightly longer walk to restaurants and shopping (about 20-30 minutes on foot) as an opportunity for extensive morning walks by the sea and through the (seasonal) still somewhat sleepy streets of Torre di San Giovanni, which is characterized by vacation, weekend and summer houses. Overall, a great starting point for excursions throughout Salento. As already described several times, the apartment with the small kitchen is excellently equipped, we did not miss anything here at all. Communication with Emanuela and her parents is exemplary. We could not try out all the restaurant tips, but when we asked, we had helpful and targeted answers after 30 minutes at the latest! Thanks for the unforgettable days!!!

Arturo and his family welcomed us pleasantly .. extremely nice . The accommodation in its simplicity and cleanliness has everything you need and even more to allow you to spend a few days of serenity. Priceless sea view .. to disconnect the mind. Thank you so much for hosting us.

Maria and her husband were hosts who, with great kindness and discretion, welcomed us to a magnificent residence by the sea: clean, well organized and with practically private access to the sea. 50 steps separate you from a bright cliff from which you can enjoy a quiet and relaxing view from the splendid equipped terrace. The private parking facilitates travel from a location that remains close (5/20 mins) to many wonderful beaches. Wonderful vacation also thanks to this incredible house.

A lovely villa in a quiet location. 5 minutes drive away from restaurants and shops. The villa is a little rustic internally and lacks some home comforts. The outside area is stunning with lovely sea views. We had a restful stay and would recommend the accommodation.

Of all our European travels over the last few years this is perhaps the best apartment we have stayed at! Incredible location with tons of character. Bonus: breathtaking views from the rooftop terrace! Comfy beds (1 Firmer & 1 Memory Foamlike) and excellent AC when you need it. This apartment is close to everything in Old Town, great shops and restaurants and you can catch a bus and be at a beautiful beach in less than 30 minutes ☀️ Emanuela is an excellent host and was prompt in her responses to any of our communications. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Matteo's place was great! Walkable to the beach/marina, lots of different restaurants, old town, etc. We even found some hidden stair paths up to old town that made the trek easier since there's a lack of sidewalks. The place itself had laundry which was super helpful, and was very clean and spacious. No full kitchen, but the fridge, microwave, and coffee machine were all we needed. We don't speak much Italain, but Matteo's mom was still quite helpful with checkin, and Matteo was super responsive. Bonus, there were land turtles in the backyard, and a stunning view of old town! AC worked great too.

We had a wonderful stay at this tastefully renovated apartment! The quiet location was perfect for relaxation and recreation. The amenities left nothing to be desired - we immediately felt at home. The warm welcome by Giusy on site also enriched our stay and she was always approachable for us. The apartment is an ideal base for exploring the area by rental car and the nearby beaches are fantastically beautiful. Thank you to Annalisa and Giusy for the nice welcome and the great hospitality!

We had a fantastic stay at Carlos place. Stunning home looks exactly as it is in the photos a blend of original features with exposed stone and beautiful ceilings and modern kitchen and bathroom. Great location less than 10 minutes walk into the beautiful old town of Lecce. We used Lecce as a base to explore the south of Puglia and would highly recommend it great road links to explore the east, west and south coast Lecce really is a stunning place and the ground floor apartment was ideal, there’s on street free parking and we always managed to get parked in close proximity Carlo kept in touch with us throughout our stay with some great recommendations on where to go and eat. We highly recommend staying here.

Very nice place and quiet to relax with friends or family. Close to beautiful beaches. Very clean house with nice breakfast as a welcoming

Thank you Pasquale and Paolo for hosting us and the stay. Everything was perfect! The apartment already looked beautiful in photos but it was even better in real life. The decor, shower and kitchen had been redone. They had planned everything necessary for our stay with our baby: changing table, baby bath, high chair, folding bed, blender for puree, stroller and even parasol and 2 folding chairs (which allowed us to introduce him to the sandy beach, 5 min walk from the apartment). Parking in the garden, sea view, fully equipped kitchen. Washing machine and coffee machine with pods as well. Everything was very well thought out so that we could have a good vacation. Even mosquito nets. They even planned a map and recommended lots of nice places. The apartment was also very clean. We'll be back with pleasure for our next stay and recommend their accommodation 100%.

We had a lovely stay in Nardò. The apartment is in a back street, just off the main square in the old town. You are spoilt in your choices of places to eat, drink and snack, all within a very short walk. You are also within walking distance of the train station if you didn’t fancy driving. We took the train to Lecce for a day trip. We loved just sitting on Piazza Antonio Salandra with a spritz and a negroni watching the locals going about their business long in to the evening. Thank you Mika

Excellent host. Really nice place to stay. Everything we needed and parking was simple.

Perfect house, fully matches the description, a special mention to the host Mr. Giampiero, always available and responsive person and always proactive for advice and directions. Thanks, much appreciated Super recommended!!!!!

Wonderful location! Everything worth seeing in Lecce is walking distance. Sarita went over and above to make us feel at home. It can be loud out night but it didn’t bother us too much

Wonderful, spacious and very clean apartment. Amazing views from living area and balcony. Although on a busy road the apartment is very quiet and very secure. The check in instructions were clear. A few minutes to the old city where there are many restaurants. Also close to mini market. We really enjoyed our stay here.
