Guest Reviews

• HARRIET (10/5): True authentic Italian experience, amazing stay! - We had an amazing stay at Giuseppe & Daniela’s beautiful home. They welcome you with open arms & amazing hospitality. True authentic Italian experience. The property is in a small town but an amazing base to explore all of what Salento has to offer. Giuseppe gave us recommendations of what to do everyday and even took us on a guided tour of Lecce. Super cute cats and dogs also :) Do not hesitate to book. We will definitely be back :) Nothing :(
• Vito (8/5): Atmosfera accogliente, pulizia e piena assistenza. Posizione strategica per raggiungere agevolmente diverse destinazioni - Ottima accoglienza dei proprietari della struttura, si sono presi cura di noi da tutti i punti di vista. Colazione ricca di bontà fatte in casa come i pasticciotti e le marmellate
• Alison (10/5): An Italian dream come true. Perfection - It is hard to put into words what staying at Casale del Forno is like other than saying it’s like receiving the warmest hug ever! This place and the whole experience was perfection and faultless. We were welcomed and treated like family by Daniela, Giuseppe, Mikaela and their family of animals. Kindness in a cup! Home made food using home grown ingredients shared in their home, the most incredible garden to wander through, rooms with stories and soul, a wealth of information and history knowledge shared. 2 nights was not enough! We needed more days! It is the perfect place to base yourself when exploring down south. We will cherish this beautiful experience for life. Having to leave
• Megan (10/5): An experience we will cherish forever! - An experience we will cherish forever! We absolutely loved getting to know the hosts, Giuseppe and Daniela. It's a gorgeous garden oasis in the middle of a little town that you can explore on foot and find a couple of delicious restaurants to try. From the beginning we were made to feel right at home. Every morning we were spoiled with an amazing homemade breakfast and coffee on the terrace (which even honored our requests for a vegetarian menu). We loved getting to talk with Giuseppe and Daniela throughout our stay and get to learn about their property, food, and local history. We really enjoyed the invitation to take a walk with Giuseppe and his dogs to his other rental property to see his horses. If you love animals you must stay here! Everyone from the hosts, housekeepers, and animals are all so friendly making the whole experience absolutely lovely. We loved everything!
• Dragana (9/5): -
• Laurent (10/5): -
• Ann (9/5): Puglia ten volle beleven - De warme sfeer en heel vriendelijke, behulpzame eigenaars. Het ontbijt ! Lokale producten , eigenmaak Beste start voor je dag Veel info over de streek en de geschiedenis Zeer mooi huis en tuin
• Candice (10/5): - L'accueil incroyable de Giuseppe et Daniela qui vous font sentir comme à la maison et font tout pour que votre séjour dans le salento soit complet et riche en decouverte. Leur maison avec jardin est magnifique. Rien du tout.
• Javier (10/5): - Los anfitriones Giuseppe y Daniela son una pareja maravillosa que han hecho del viaje una experiencia , con su manera de ser del Salento, atentos , alegres y nos han dado a conocer la rica gastronomía y la cultura y sobre todo la amabilidad de la gente de Salento. Muchas gracias a los 2 . Un trozo de nuestro corazón se queda en Casale dal Forno...
• Neyla (10/5): Un splendide séjour chez Daniela et Giuseppe - Un écrin de verdure où chaque détail est un enchantement à Castiglione, un petit village à 15min de la mer, chargé d’histoire. La semaine après le 15 août est marquée par des festivités locales dans tous les villages alentours, c’est très animé et très plaisant d’y assister, à 2 pas de l’hacienda ! Que dire de l’accueil de Daniela et Giuseppe si ce n’est qu’il est absolument divin. Tous les matins les hôtes viennent discuter du programme de la journée avec recommandations personnalisées selon vos envies et la météo. Le petit déjeuner fait à base de produits locaux est incroyable. Nous avons passer un splendide séjour !
• gianluca (9/5): Oltre ogni aspettativa - Piccola oasi di pace nel cuore del Salento con fantastico giardino e abitato da tanti cani e gatti super socievoli. Nota di merito per i proprietari Daniela e Giuseppe, due persone squisite e di una cultura inimmaginabile che oltre a farti sentire molto più che un ospite, vi sapranno guidare con consigli sul territorio e i luoghi da scoprire oltre che arricchirvi con aneddoti sulla storia salentina e non solo. Le stanze mantengono elementi e dettagli unici che rispecchiano la storia del casale. Colazione fatta in casa ogni giorno diversa con prodotti tipici del territorio e ingredienti a km0. Nulla. L'assenza del parcheggio interno è sopperita dallo spazio nella via e piazzetta a ridosso della struttura.
• Marek (10/5): Dolce Vita - Hosts, Atmosphere, The Garden, Breakfast -
• Jakub (10/5): - Pobyt w Antiche Dimore Salentine, położonym w sercu urokliwej miejscowości Castiglione, to coś znacznie więcej niż zwykły wyjazd na południe Włoch. To prawdziwe doświadczenie, smak lokalnej kuchni, chwile południowego spokoju oraz fascynujące opowieści o historii, którymi dzieli się gospodarz, Giuseppe. Niezwykłą atmosferę dopełnia obecność jego żony Danieli - pełnej uroku, gościnności i ciepła, które potrafi przemienić każdy dzień w wyjątkowe wspomnienie. Jej wypieki i serdeczność sprawiają, że pobyt staje się jeszcze bardziej niezapomniany. Antiche Dimore Salentine to miejsce wyjątkowe, idealne zarówno do błogiego wypoczynku, jak i jako baza wypadowa do odkrywania pięknego Salento. Jeśli ktoś poszukuje przestrzeni, w której odnajdzie spokój, autentyczny włoski klimat i prawdziwą gościnność, to będzie to wybór absolutnie doskonały.
• Terradura (10/5): - Le jardin est somptueux, les hôtes Daniela et Giuseppe sont aux petits soins et le petit déjeuner est à tomber. Gros plus pour les adorables chiens et chats qui habitent le lieu.
• Gianandrea (10/5): Amazing experience! Don't miss this unique gem at the heart of Salento - Casale del Forno is an amazing surprise, run by wonderful owners. Daniela and Giuseppe's hospitality goes beyond any expectations, and one immediately feels part of the family. As you step in Casale del Forno you immediately feel at home, surrounded by a caring staff. Daniela's breakfasts prepared with local ingredients and recipes are a gem.
• Jacob (10/5): Exceptional - The owners, Giuseppe and Daniela are unbelievably generous and kind. They Will invite you in their beautiful home, give you Lots of useful recommandations, breakfast made by Daniele is amazing and when you leave you wish you’d stayed longer. We Will return. X
• Lauren (10/5): A cosy home away from home. - Giuseppe and Daniella were the most accommodating and kind hosts. Giuseppe was full of information of the local area and recommendations from local food to the beaches! Daniella made an incredible breakfast that changed everyday. The room was exactly like the pictures, and the grounds even more beautiful. From a bottle of wine upon arriving to the friendliest dogs to keep you company, this is the perfect place to relax while on holiday! Nothing !
• Kubíčková (10/5): Authentic, friendly atmosphere, ideal for relaxation, in the care of very nice owners with a very personal approach. - Atmosphere, calmness, environment, attitude of the owners. Excellent, wholesome breakfast, sweet and salty. A paradise on earth for animal lovers. Nothing. We would only like to point out that it can be a slight complication for foreigners if they do not know Italian - the owners are very friendly, but only one of them, Giuseppe, can speak a little English, and the lady, Daniela, can only be communicated with by means of a translator. It doesn't affect your stay, just knowing Italian can be a great advantage for better understanding with the owners.
• Racim (10/5): An absolute fantastic stay. -
• David (10/5): Timeless Charm and Warm Hospitality in Southern Puglia - We had the pleasure of staying in this truly captivating accommodation in southern Puglia, where the essence of a small Italian town is beautifully preserved. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Our rooms boasted authentic furnishings with a unique charm, all maintained in pristine condition. It felt like stepping back a few hundred years, surrounded by the historical beauty of the area, yet with all the comforts of cleanliness and tidiness. The breakfast was a highlight of our stay, with many ingredients sourced directly from the host's garden. The freshness and quality of the food provided a delightful start to our day. The expansive yard and garden were equally impressive, offering tranquil spots to relax and unwind. Parking was hassle-free, with enough space available on the surrounding streets and square. For any necessities, a hypermarket was conveniently located just a five-minute drive away. Overall, our visit was a remarkable blend of past and present, where traditional charm meets exceptional hospitality. Highly recommended for those looking to experience the authentic spirit of Puglia.
• Valentina (10/5): perfect - Daniela and Giuseppe are such open and friendly people and they made us feel like family. We had a wonderful stay and were sad to leave. They fulfilled all our wishes, the room was spectacular, the breakfast was delicious and our days were just wonderful. They had great tips on where to go, where to eat and the best beaches around. We were also able to go horse riding with Giuseppe and it was great fun. nothing!
• Emily (10/5): By the end of the trip we felt like family to the hosts and all their wonderful staff. We loved it! - This place is a dream like oasis tucked into a quiet town. The breakfast is made by Daniela and is some of the tastiest treats we had the whole trip. The space has rich history and is beautiful all around, you could spend many hours getting lost exploring on the grounds of this place. We didnt speak Italian but Giuseppe is fluent in English and we did just fine talking with Daniella over Google Translate! Giuseppe gave us so many wonderful tips for traveling around to other cities, swimming spots etc and even took us horse back riding! But I would recommend being pretty experienced on horses to do this ride, it was an adventure! We spent 7 nights there and loved every bit of it. The only downside to this amazing place is you definitely need a car or scooter to get around. Its only 10 min drive from the nearest coast (which has an amazing grotto to swim into btw) but the BnB itself is located in a very quiet town with only one restaurant in walking distance. So get ready to spend most days driving to other parts of Salento but its a wonderful place to have as a basecamp for your adventuring.
• Gabriel (10/5): Much more than what we expected! - Amazing house, but even better the beautiful couple making guest feel home! Please do not look anymore, if you are planning to visit south Puglia, this is a perfect base to discover it. Everything was perfect
• Jenni (10/5): Exceptional - Guiseppe and Daniella are special. They clearly love life and what they do. They are intereasted in their guests and are the perfect hosts. The Breakfasts were exceptional made by the hand of Daniella / Local Hams, Omlettes, Ricotta cheese with local honey, warm bread, fantastic coffee, Tarts made with melt in the mouth shortbread and home made jams - One particular homemade tart made with shortcrust pastry, creme anlglaise topped with strawberries. Anything we couldnt eat was wrapped and given to us in parcels for our days exploring the beautiful countryside and swimming spots. Guiseppe was mine of local knowledge and but also a really interesting person to talk to - his knowledge of the locas history of the region and abroad was both informative and really helpful. They are charming and were eager to go to any lengths to make our stay in their beautiful accomodation as special for us as possible. They and the ladies that work with them epitomise hospitality -
• Dianne (9/5): Giuseppe and Daniela are incredibly welcoming and very helpful in planning activities in the area! - Fabulous hosts, beautiful garden and outdoor eating spaces, delicious breakfast with tremendous variety of homemade food. Giuseppe and Daniela went above and beyond to make our stay extremely pleasant and memorable. We enjoyed tasting regional specialties lovingly prepared by Daniela and learning the fascinating history of the property and the area. The bathroom in our unit (while charming and spacious!) was accessed by going up a few steps so could be an issue for some.
• Rikke (10/5): This place is absolutely wonderful! If you go to Puglia, you should definitely stay with Daniela and Joseph at their bea - The place is fantastic, beautiful, authentic and cozy, The hosts are AMAZING!
• Valeria (10/5): paradiso in Salento! - with hindsight we should have booked here for our whole stay in Salento. we spent two nights with Daniela and Giuseppe and we didn’t want to leave - one of the best places we had the pleasure to stay at. the place is magical, you’re surrounded by herbs, plants and trees. everything in the casale, rooms included, is selected from the finest materials and with greatest care (Daniela has a superbly fine eye). both Daniela and Giuseppe are wonderful souls, passionate about their land and with endless stories to share, and suggestions on how to enhance your trip to really live Salento to its fullest. proudly homemade, using their products (or locally sourced), breakfast was the best moment of our days. there’s a few adorable and cuddly pets to play with too 🐶🐱 we miss it all already! grazie e a presto ✨
• Melanie (8/5): Daniella and Giuseppe have created a beautiful authentic Italian experience. Thank you. - The breakfast was a highlight of the trip. The hosts work very hard to make this an unforgettable trip.
• Marien (10/5): Excellent - Breakfast was excellent, hosts were very helpful in giving advise on what to do when
• Adam (9/5): Fantastic - Daniela and Giuseppe were fantastic hosts, very nice, flexible and very generous. We felt like special guests throughout our whole stay. The rest of the staff is incredibly nice, too. The Casale is a gorgeous place, with a very relaxed and authentic vibe, where you feel at home. The breakfast is done fresh every morning with home-made dishes and everything sourced locally. Highly recommend! Just few tweaks (adding a mirror, changing the TV) would make it absolutely perfect.
• Sofia (10/5): An unforgettable stay in the heart of Salento - Daniela and Giuseppe will do anything to make your stay comfortable and unforgettable. From the breakfast in the courtyard- sweet and savoury, with homemade specialities, to the care of the rooms and the garden, your stay in the Casale will immerse you in the heart of Salento.
