A week, and an evening in the square.
22 December · Spongano, in the square
December here is mild: days around 13 °C, cool evenings. Bring a light jacket.
The programme is the Core Week one: the house, the 4 e-bikes, the three Salentour audio tours. On top of that, there is one evening, midweek.
The house: Dolce Lidia
You step into a home where old and new speak softly to each other. A star vault from the early 1900s, ceramics, Lecce stone and, outside, a garden that is all yours, in the heart of Salento and close to the sea.
Here, all you have to do is slow down. Dolce Lidia is intimate and elegant, made of Salento's traditional materials and small details that stay with you: you feel at home from the very first moment.

The living room is full of light: the spotlights bring out a 1926 cementine tile floor, and the antique Lecce stone on the furniture tells you the story of the house. In the dining room, the large round wooden table extends to seat 6 and is ready for long dinners together.
The bathroom is a little gem. A large window fills it with light, the washbasin is the work of local ceramic artisans, and the spacious shower blends into the room. Towels, blankets and bed linen are already waiting for you.
The kitchen is separate, with its own window, and leads straight out to the private garden: lawn, old chianche paving and a table for eating outdoors. After a day at the sea, water from the outdoor shower runs down from a historic roof tile to welcome you.
The historic centre of Spongano is a few minutes' walk away, and the pick-up point for the 4 e-bikes is five hundred metres from the house.

How to book
Choose your week
From the calendar, or by sending us your dates. We confirm availability within one working day.
Hold it with a down payment
30% on confirmation, the rest seven days before arrival. Card or bank transfer.
We write to you
A week before, you get everything you need, and the direct number. You just think about which book to bring.
Before you write
Do you have to start on a Saturday?
Yes: you always arrive on a Saturday and leave the following Saturday, seven nights. If you need another date or a different group, there is the Tailor-made package.
What if it rains?
If it rains all day, or rains in the morning and you can't get out on the bike, that day is refunded. If it rains all week, we refund the rental.
Can I work during the week?
It's one of the reasons the bike days are five and not seven. The homes have wi-fi and a proper table. We don't promise an office-grade connection: we tell you that many people do it, in the afternoons.
Do I have to leave a deposit?
No, you pay nothing upfront. At pick-up you sign the rental contract and leave a card as security, as in a hotel.
Can I add bike days?
Yes, on top of the five included. Tell us how many you need and we'll add them to your quote.
