It is located on the first floor: it is a large studio flat, air conditioned, with private bathroom, kitchenette and a delightful independent terrace where it is fantastic to have breakfast in the morning or to dine al fresco in the evening. Geco has an essential style, it is furnished entirely with period pieces and objects restored with patience and passion, in order to preserve the charm of the traditional Salento house as much as possible, without however renouncing comfort and practicality.
