I enjoy encountering visitors and introducing them to our Salento, its history, and culture. I guide them to explore Lecce and our extraordinary ocean. The objective is definitely to indulge our guests with traditional cuisine, but there’s more to it…

Salento Experience - We had an amazing experience thanks to Roberto , and Sandra. Roberto gave us many tips and Sandra cooked a delicious meal. This couple and two friends made us feel at home. It felt like we were having lunch with friends. Thanks again. C.P.

Book this activity - Bob showed up on time. We were within the old city of Lecce and he sent us a picture of where we should meet within a one minute walk of our lodging. He took us as planned to a nice sandy beach on the Adriatic—Lido Circeo. He asked how long we wanted to stay at the beach and he showed back up at the appointed hour to take us to his home for lunch in the garden. We had a very nice multicourse meal prepared by his lovely wife, Sandra. Everything was exactly as advertised. He then returned us back to our lodging.
He was so pleasant to deal with that we hired him a couple of days later just to drive us to the city of Gallipoli. At the designated time he then returned us to our lodging and Leche. Highly recommended!

Lovely friendly experience - Experience was lovely. The host and his wife made us feel very welcome and treated us as if we were family or long time friends. The garden where we had lunch was private and lovely and the food delicious

Simply great! Don’t miss this! - This was such a genuine and honest experience! Bob took us to a beach outside Lecce that was really nice. Not the best beach you’ll ever visit, but nice!
After the beach we were invited to Bob’s land for lunch and Bob and his family are very very welcoming and amazing hosts.
The food was really good and very genuine with a bruschetta with tomatoes from the garden, local mozzarella, olives for starters. Followed by meatballs and pasta made fresh by Bob’s mother in law and sauce by his neighbors which was simply great! We also had meat and sausages followed by sweets and cafe! It was super generous - I was barely able to walk for hours I was so full! :)
This was an unusual and new kind of experience for me and I would 100% recommend it. It is true, genuine and honest, but don’t expect fancy. This is perfect if you, like me, loves a good host, good honest food, and get to experience it in a setting that is not your usual restaurant.
