Hi from Carlo e Giusy!

"We live in an area rich in excellent raw materials, which is why we can afford to always be creative in the food shopping we do. Since we stopped working, we moved to the countryside in a family house built in 1800, where we have a rich orchard and we have fun preparing organic jams of all tastes. In winter we use the dining room, while in summer we organize dinners in the large garden."

This was the highlight of our week in Puglia. Carlo and Giusy were amazing hosts, not only welcoming us into their kitchen but showing us their fabulous home (Carlo’s original family home). The demonstration was informal, you felt like you were having a lesson from an old friend, and we could all join in and had a go at making gnocchi, parmegana and tirimasu. Then we ate the meal in the stunning garden under vines and surrounded by beautiful trees and landscape. Incredible and unforgettable!

Great hospitality, amazing food, breathtaking location. Carlo helped us reaching their wonderful house in the countryside near Lecce. Their place is cozy and with a charming garden to sit for dinner which seems like a fairytale. Giusy taught us how to make her own version of tiramisù and shared great tips to master it. Together they explained and let us try to make homemade tagliatelle with a courgette sauce. It was incredibly fun! Giusy and Carlo told us a bit of their life story and it felt like being at the house of our own grandparents. We would have wished to stay longer to chat, but we will definetly come back and perhaps staying their B&B. If you are in Lecce, come and visit them!

MUST DO EXPERIENCE while in Lecce. Carlo and Giusy were so kind and warm, and so generous welcoming us in to their beautiful home. It is such an amazing experience watching them both cook and learning from them. The food was so delicious, and so lovely eating in their gorgeous courtyard. Would recommend this experience. 10/10! Thank you!
