La Carcara

Our stay at Farmhouse La Carcara in Otranto was nothing short of amazing. The bungalow we stayed in was located in a perfect spot, offering a peaceful and picturesque environment that allowed us to fully enjoy the natural beauty of the region.
The owner, Gaetano, was incredibly polite, welcoming, and cool. The hospitality made us feel right at home and added a personal touch to the experience.
One of the highlights of our stay was the food. Everything we tasted was made from their own organic production, and it was simply some of the best traditional Italian cuisine we have ever had. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful, making every dish a delight. We had the opportunity to try many different Italian traditional dishes, all prepared with home-grown products. It was an unforgettable culinary experience.
Breakfast was also fantastic, offering a traditional Italian selection with a variety of homemade cakes to choose from. Every morning felt like a treat, with something new and delicious to start the day.
All in all, our stay at La Carcara was a truly special experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Italian hospitality and amazing food.

We enjoyed our stay at the farm so much! there is a pool, chickens, cats and a huge, friendly dog Max. We stayed at the two bedroom house just next to the reception and we had plenty of room there for our family of four. AC was working fine and everything was very clean. The family running the business is a real big Italian one and they were the most graceful hosts.
The location is also good, you can bike to some pretty famous beaches from there, Like Alimini or Basia Turchi in 25min and get to the town of Otrento in 6 minutes.
Last, but not least — THE FOOD. Might just be the best we had at our Apulia trip — the freshness, the taste, all made from local ingredients! Make sure to get half board when you stay here, dinners are exquisite.
Big thanks to the staff! See you soon!

My wife and I spend one week in this agriturismo. The room are very cozy for a family, clean and tidy. We was impressed that they came every day to clean room and change the sheet. We chose half bord, breakfast and dinner absolutely brilliant, at breakfast you can find every day hand made fresh cake and for dinner superb 3 course meal, starter it's a must. The agriturismo is very well located just 5 minutes by car to Otranto and 15 minutes from Alimini where you can find stunning beach. Special thanks goes to Gaetano and all family members that are making fantastic job running this place. Overall good value for money.

We have just spent a lovely week at this family-run farm and it's been a lovely week! Everyone is very friendly (although English is limited), there is a lovely pool (a couple more umbrellas wouldn't go amiss) that is never very full.
The complex is made up of wooden bungalows and stone chalets, which are very comfortable and have everything you'd need for the purpose.
Not the fanciest of places but really a relaxed, comfortable place to spend some quality time.
The food is absolutely amazing — and a lot of it! All homemade with ingredients grown on-site. Cakes galore every morning. You will not go hungry!
Only a 5 minute drive down to the cute town of Otranto, which has a nice beach, lots of shops and restaurants.
Thank you to the team on the ground. We've had a great time!

Make this your base for Southern Puglia. A friendly family run agri-toursmo, with a lovely non chlorine pool. Our new wooden bungalow was basic with a nice en-suite and terrace where you can sit out and chill or use to dry your washing which was great. There’s air con too when it gets too humid. But the highlight was the evening dinner. From the anti pasta to the secondi everything is delicious and prepared in-house by the bosses lovely wife. (20eu incl wine! ) Her accomplished cooking restored our faith in Puglian cuisine. We’d found restaurant food elsewhere in Puglia decidedly bland and formulaic. The breakfast is also great with home cooked cakes and lots of espresso doppio. I can’t recommend this place enough.
