Hi from Katia!

"I like to cultivate the vegetable garden, to transform every gift of the earth in a dish, realized with ancient peasant recipes tied to the culinary culture of the territory.

Katia’s and her family were so warm welcoming & generous. She shared a great deal of information about her regional cuisine. We baked bread typical of Puglia. She served us a lovely lunch with a wide variety of homemade food much of which was grown in her garden. Very charming experience..

Katia & her whole family were extremely, warm, generous,& welcoming. We made the local typically bread which was delicious. Unexpectedly, she served us a complete lunch; meatballs, grilled zucchini, several kinds of peppers , meat, & fish. Her tiramisu was delicious! It is a very short cab ride or drive from Lecce, only about 10-15 minutes. Absolutely lovely & memorable experience.

5 stelle per Katia, una perfetta padrona di casa che con, istintiva naturalezza, mette a proprio agio i suoi ospiti. Ha sapientemente condiviso la propria ricchezza fatta di famiglia, tradizione e gentilezza. Sicuramente ci tornerò!!

I had an amazing time at Katia's home. She warmly welcomed me and one other student and we learned two types of traditional pasta and tiramisu. (I had never made either before.) In addition, she served us an incredible dinner with wine, wonderful cheeses, homemade bread, meatballs and vegetable dishes sourced from her garden. I felt right at home with her family. If you are staying near Lecce you must do this.
