"Great location in town centre but very peaceful inside villa. Villa well appointed, very comfortable, great pool area. Shops, bars within easy walking distance, supermarket accessible on foot, larger one by car. Town delightful - very friendly. Great support from local representative ( Milena)"

"Masseria Corda Di Lana is an amazing holiday location, 15 minutes drive from Porto Cesareo and Torre Lipado both house great restaurants Lidos and beaches. The room itself was well furnished with lovely bathroom, the grounds and pool area are superb. The only two negatives are 1) WIFI is non existent in your rooom and around the pool, this makes it all the more pertinent as you hardly get 3G. Did complain about this daily but always told engineers working on it. I would also give the restaurant in the evening a miss, food and service was poor, my comments were passed on. The staff make this accommodation. From Gorgina (sorry for spelling) her breakfast duties. For Paola and Miriam for their receptionist skills and excellent knowledge and recommendations during our stay and lastly for Samuel for his knowledge enthusiasm and motivation. The staff here are the jewel. Please get WI-FI sorted for our return. Rm 113 Mr Ellis"

"Our stay at the palazzo was one of the best stays we have ever had in a long time! The staff and the hospitality they have shown to us was amazing! From the very beginning of our booking until the day we left we were treated like royalty. Caterina always had answers, suggestions, for all our needs. Our breakfast always "yummy" and prepare by the most caring, lovely Laurie! Language was not barrier; you don't need to speak the same language to know kindness. The palazzo is gorgeous inside and out, if you have any mobility issues, they do have an elevator which was A+ for us. All this to say, if you ever are in the vicinity of Squinzano or close to it and need a place to stay where you be taking care of and have and excellent time, I recommend the stay at the Palazzo de Castro. If there were more stars to give, I would give more!!! Denisse, Dexter & Angela"

"We had a fantastic stay in the villa with extended family,As other have said, the outdoor kitchen (oven, hob, bbq, fridge/freezer, dish washer, sink) are a fabulous edition and we spent all our time cooking outside.The property is about 10 minutes from the nearest supermarket (Lidl or Conad) but you’ll need a car to get around.There are a couple of wineries close by for some lovely wine and the nearest town (Campi Salentina) has a brilliant restaurant called Piccola Osteria which is a must visit.The highlight of the villa is without a doubt the house keeper - Oronzino - who looks after you during the stay. Super friendly, speaks English (through the translator on his phone!) and takes great pride in showing you the local produce growing the gardens. What’s better than plucking a lemon off the tree for your lemon cello spritz!He showed us how to make fabulous antipasti from the garden peppers, tomatoes and aubergines, and then took loads back to the villa to share. Gave us a big bottle of home made red wine and also made almond brittle. Just the best free experience!The villa is quite rustic but clean and around 25 mins from Lecce. The other popular areas are around 50 mins away (Ostuni/Alberobello).We’d come back here in a heartbeat!"

"Not what I was expected. I know we came during off season but in May. The winery seem to be well known in the area but it wasn't open. They don't really have staff in attendance, but you can always reach them by email or phone if you have local cell phone. They use an app to access the gate into the venue unfortunately that our connection wasn't always the greatest and we needed to ask our friend to open the gate for us. We only saw one or two other guests in the hotel so it is really too quiet without staff around. "

"Stunning grounds, fantastic castle and winery tour and wonderful warm and friendly people that are passionate about making your stay perfect. The simera wine tasting with lunch was ridiculously great value. Topped off by a really impressive sunset over the vines, it was like they arranged everything. We went very early in the season so we practically had the Scuderie to ourselves, and there wasn’t a wedding in the castle so it was totally peaceful. Beautiful place that makes beautiful wine!"

"First time booking this type of accommodation, turns out it’s a great choice. Returning to this peaceful spot after a day touring is just good for the soul. The rooms are spacious, spotless, great beds with quality bedding, lots of toiletries and a welcome bottle of wine. You will need a car as it’s out of the way, but well worth the drive from Laverano. Breakfast was adequate and a great cup of coffee. Staff are outstanding and room cleaned every day. Cannot go wrong here. We loved our stay."
