My husband & I had the most wonderful time in this very pretty authentic accommodation. Such a romantic setting with stunning views & very peaceful. The accommodation as basic as it is had everything we required & needed, the outdoor shower was just brilliant. Livia, the hostâs daughter, was most helpful with supplying us with all the local information & her tips for eating out etc..Bruno & Livia were lovely & incredibly helpful! Would highly recommend this little rustic gem!
I arrived by myself, which was something of an adventure getting there from the Naples airport, but well worth the distance and drive! As I was driving to the house with the sea on my left, it was such a beautiful and calming experience, and I knew it was going to be a great stay.
The house was lovely and just the perfect size for me and my friend who eventually joined me a few days later. The pool was a welcome treat after a long day of beaches and sight seeing every day. The manager was also kind enough to give us an extensive list of "must see" places in the area, and I thing we hit them all!
Overall, this was a great experience and I would definitely stay there again!
We spent a happy week in one of the Franchina cottages. The view from our patio was breathtaking, blue skies and a perfect view of the Adriatic. Glorious sunshine every day with a pool to dip into when we needed to cool down. Swimming in he sea, a few minutes from our cottage, was fabulous too although too rough some days to make this possible. The cottage itself has all the basics for simple cooking and a second shower outside provides a lovely warm experience and great views of the sea
Bruno, the host was very helpful from the time we booked until the day we left. He was quick to respond to our messages and requests. He was very willing to provide information about places to swim, eat and visit in the area. We loved every minute of our stay.
Enkel standard med allt du behöver! Underbar utsikt över havet frÄn mysig uteplats. Enkel sjÀlvincheckning och trevlig kontakt med Àgaren. Ett stillsamt stÀlle med vackra omgivningar.
A view that just relaxed you, and everything you needed in a small home. Isolated, which suited us, with rugged cliff top walks. Clear water, nice snorkelling.
Bruno, the owner, could not have been nicer or more helpful.
When we read the description of this property we thought it woud be ideal for our plans - a quiet place without the distractions of the modern world. The setting of the cottage met these requirements - a view of the sea with no filters except a few ancient olive trees.
Our host Bruno was always available in an elegant and understated manner , providing assistance and invaluable information about restaurants and shopping.
If you are looking for a place which allows for relaxing the soul , this is it.
Bruno and Livia are just wonderful hosts. The translation of the german description of the place in Corsano was unfortunately not quite correct but Bruno found immeditatly a solution for the "problem" and us. The place itself is peaceful, clean and surrounded by nature. Thanks to you two again for everything!
Das Haus liegt in schöner, ruhiger Lage. Die Umgebung ist liebevoll gestaltet.
Ein Auto ist erforderlich. ( Einkauf, Restaurant)
Wir erwarteten ein eigenes Ferienhaus fĂŒr uns alleine. Es waren aber 2 vermietete Hausteile.
Wir hatten etwas Pech mit dem Wetter. Es war eher kĂŒhl und es regnete ab und zu. Die Folge davon: Ein kĂŒhles, unangenehm feuchtes Schlafzimmer. Es hatte eine Klimaanlage mit Heizung. Trotzdem setzten einige GegenstĂ€nde, wie Strohhut, Sandalen, Bettdecke Schimmel an.
Mehr Natur und Stille ist in dieser Gegend wohl nicht zu finden.
Toller Ausblick auf Meer und FelsenkĂŒste.
Vielen Dank auch fĂŒr den herzlichen Service, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.
Gerne kommen wir nochmal wieder.

Sehr ruhig gelegen: ideal fĂŒr Ruhesuchende. Wundervolle Terrasse mit Grill und Aussendusche und vor allem toller Aussicht auf das Meer. Die Wohnung ist einfach aber zweckmĂ€Ăig eingerichtet. Das Bad ist sehr klein. Wir haben uns wohl gefĂŒhlt.
Quiet, sensational view, a Hollywood swing, a big terrace with a dining table, a barbecue - staying here for 6 weeks with Bruno being a wonderful host have been a perfect vacation. Highly, highly recommendable! Thank you, Bruno. Pretty sure we come back.
We had a wonderful stay at Franchina during mid-October. The location is beautiful and tranquil, a slice of paradise. From the terrace there are views straight over the sea, perfect for catching the sunrise, and on clear nights a great view of the stars.
Swimming is a few minutes away if you fancy some snorkelling, a few minutes drive to Marina Serra, and the beautiful sandy beaches of Pescoluse and Baia dei Turchi easily accessible within an hour. It's also easy to reach Gallipoli and Lecce for taking in the myriad of beautiful churches and duomos.
As we were out of season we made use of the excellent cooking facilities in the evening, including the outdoor grill. Livia directed us to the supermarket in nearby Tiggiano which has well stocked fresh fish and meat counters.
The cottage is charming and has everything you need for a comfortable stay and Bruno and Livia are friendly and helpful hosts, a fantastic introduction for our first trip to Puglia, I hope we'll be back!
Grazie mille!
If you are looking for a natural, coastal, relaxing place to get away, this is it. We suggest going when the weather is good, because you will spend your time out on the terrace, looking over the sea. Don't miss the boat excursion! It was the highlight of our holiday. We have become entranced with this area, including the small towns nearby. Thank you, Livia, for a delightful experience.
Liebevoll gepflegtes Anwesen am Meer mit Traumblick von der Terasse. Sehr sauber und geschmackvoll gestaltet, die Einrichtung ist einfach und schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Bruno kĂŒmmert sich vorbildlich um seine GĂ€ste. Die HandtĂŒcher waren fĂŒr einen Badeurlaub sehr knapp bemessen, wurden aber auf Nachfrage getauscht. Ein toller Tipp fĂŒr Fisch, das Casa Mia in Tricase Porto. Danke fĂŒr wunderschöne Tage im Salento. Marion und RĂŒdiger
La Franchina, appartamento mareblu, proprietĂ #6203574.
Con mio marito abbiamo soggiornato una decina di giorni nella proprietĂ sopracitata. Abbiamo passato dei giorni speciali, l'appartamento perfetto, pulito con un terrazzo con vista spettacolare sul mare e soprattutto la cortesia del Sig. Bruno che con i suoi preziosi consigli ci ha aiutato a fare della nostra vacanza, una vacanza speciale. Spero di poterci tornare e lo consiglio a chi ama la pace, la serenitĂ che questo luogo incantevole ti regala e ovviamente lo splendido mare.
Siamo stati accolti dal Sig. Bruno insieme alla sua cagnolina in posto molto bello, arrivando da una strada panoramica che costeggia tutta la parte meridionale della Puglia da Otranto a Leuca.
La Casa e' carina e curata ed e' circondata da Lecci e macchia mediterranea, tra roccie calcaree dove le piante del cappero selvatico e il mirto si scavano un posticino per vivere. Il mare e' accessibile da diversi sentieri a pochi passi dalla casa. Un Mare bello, azzurro, incontaminato e inviolato dagli artifici dell' uomo. Insomma e' un posto dove abbiamo lasciato un po il cuore e dove sicuramente torneremo. Siamo stati molto bene .
Un abbraccio al sig. Bruno e a sua moglie per la splendida vacanza!
