Salento Guesthouse

Salento Guesthouse is a b&b run by Giuseppe. The b&b is housed in the family home where his grandparents lived until the early 2000s, in Carpignano Salentino, in the heart of the Salento (Apulia).
Giuseppe experienced firsthand the wonders of the family home and then decided to transform it into a holiday home, making spacious apartments with attention to every detail. Each apartment is named after one of the women who lived in this house in Carpignano, in the
heart of the Salento.
Visitors of Salento Guesthouse are able to choose the location that they like the most and that is closest to their needs and tastes. In the main house there are two apartments; one very large, ideal for families or groups of friends, or a studio apartment, perfect for a couple. The first apartment has
the name of the woman who was know as the town’s Grandmother, “Donna Tina” wife of Orazio,
beloved mayor of this Salento village for a good 25 years. The other two apartments made inside the house have the names of Enza and Irene, the two sisters who lived in this house. These three apartments are ideal as holiday homes, in the beautiful Salento (Apulia).
The apartments located in the historic centre are named Eleonora and Laura, also women in the
family. The Eleonora apartment is a small house on the second floor, in the historic centre of the town, it has a panoramic terrace which allows absolute relaxation, after a day at the beach or to enjoy an aperitif or dinner. The Laura apartment is located on the ground floor and overlooks a
small but important square in the historic centre, the main church is here which is a daily reference point for the women of the village.

All the structures, hence, evoke a peculiar trait of each Donna in the family, in relation to their temperament:

Suite Donna Tina, strength
