Beautiful Oasis
Villa Sansovino is a very attractive villa. We felt spoilt by the amazing mature garden, large and fun swimming pool with comfortable garden furniture. The rooms were large, kitchen fully equipped and the owners even welcomed us with fresh fruits and wine. Their generosity during our stay was so refreshing. The beaches are not as close as expected so car is a necessity but within 20-25 minutes drive we were rewarded by some of the cleanest waters. Town of Lecce is a gem, so much beauty and history.
