Inexpensive, Comfortable and Friendly Accomodations in Puglia, Italy
I am beginning to research a return trip to Puglia, this time on a fairly strict budget.
I would be grateful for all our Italophiles/Puglia-philes that have experience and knowledge of such places to post here.
Specific towns and cities are unimportant - anywhere is fine.
Budget would be about 60-70 Euros per night for a couple and it would be certainly not during high peak season, rather around April or September/October/even November.
Grazie Mille !!

bilbo - I am considering that B&B for a trip next summer. But it looks difficult to find/park and your TR mentions "being lost for 20 minutes" looking for it. Can you elaborate more on how hard it was to drive in and out of Lecce to that B&B. And parking?
flame - I'm also researching a trip for next summer. In looking at a number of hotels/B&Bs I notice that in several cases "high season" was August and September. Mid season was May, June, July and October. In other cases June-September was high season. I wondered if you've found similar? We have to go in July and I was hoping that as long as we avoided August the crowds wouldn't be too bad.

The owner will come out and guide you on his motorbike (no really). Its exact position on google maps is 40.350935,18.172168 on an alley between Via Ascanio Grandi and Federico D'Aragona but the owner responds well to texts and phone calls and speaks pretty good English. Parking in old town is tricky for all.
Since I mainly accessed it on foot I cannot advise more but drop the guy an email and ask his opinion
