The only thing is the room could be made a little more soundproof. At times we could hear faint talking from the room next door, as there is a plasterboard wall near the bathroom. But it wasn't disruptive with the internal hallway door closed :-)

Wonderful, wonderful experience ! The b&b is located on a hill overlooking a cave on one side and amazing cliffs on the other, and includes a short and scenic walk down to a private swim spot. We had breakfast in the sun with a view. The bathroom had all the amenities. The host Francesca is so warm and lovely - we felt very comfortable here and would return 100%.

There was nothing to fault at all.

This was our favourite part of our holiday so far. Gorgeous setting overlooking the ocean with options for swimming within easy walking distance. Away from the busier areas but still within easy walk of the old town, lovely peaceful relaxing place to unwind. We enjoyed walking back after dinner along the quiet road. Francesca is a warm and helpful hostess who prepared a delicious breakfast for us each morning which we enjoyed eating al fresco looking at the sea. We appreciated the recommendations for sights, restaurants and beaches in the area. Staying at Il poste delle fragole was when it felt that our holiday had really started.

Beautiful location and wonderful charming property with great views. We got up before breakfast and walked 5 mins down the hill and jumped into clear sparkling sea. Fabulous

Perfect place a bit outside of the city, but in walking distance to the small city center. Lovely host, who helps with a lot of proposals what to do. We really enjoyed it here!

Maybe the bed could use more pillows.

The place is amazing, the photos do not make justice to how beautiful the views are. It is a perfect combination for rest, relaxation, but super close to a bubbly town if you want. The host, Francesca, was exceptionally warm, helpful, and attentive.

This place is paradise on Earth The view is simply breathtaking The private access to the small calla (bring a mask to explore the cristal clear water!!!!), the olive trees, the old stones, the quietness and tranquility… everything is dreamlike The location is ideal, with the charming Castro village within a 5min walk distance Francesca is the best host you could wish for Will definitely go back one day

The host, Francesca, was kind and helpful, and we enjoyed the breakfasts. The property and the accommodation are beautiful. Castro is a lovely and quiet small town where we enjoyed walking around and had lunch in the Centro Storico. We spent time on a drive down the coast to Santa Maria di Leuca, had delicious gelato in Tricase, went hiking on the Sentiero delle Cipolliane, and swam in the beautiful water at Il Ciolo. Also enjoyed visiting Otranto and swam in the sea at Torre Sant’Andrea. I highly recommend this accommodation!

Francesca was an amazing host. Spent 5 days here. Such a welcoming and wonderful space. Everything we needed and exceptional recommendations- a memorable experience and certainly one to put on your come-again lists. Stunning views and cheery hospitality. Well done Francesca. A la proxima!

Francesca and Il Posto delle Fragole are a Puglia Dream come true. We just spent 8 days at her simple and spectacular place above Grotto Zinzulusa. We can’t decide who/what/where was more special . . . Francesca’s warm welcome, gentle helpfulness, delicious breakfasts . . . her home’s location, spirit, charm . . . or the p entirety of the place . . . .

Beautiful, rustic and tranquil retreat with stunning sea views. Breakfast on the terrace or afternoons reading on a sun lounger were highlights for us. Castro town and marina within easy walking distance. Francesca was a wonderful host!

We had such a lovely stay! the photos don’t do the accomodation justice. Such beautiful landscaping and the property is kept in pristine condition. Delicious breakfast in the AM to have on the balcony and then off for a day of exploring the incredible swim spots and restaurants that are all so close by. I can’t wait to come back again!

Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations

We loved the tranquil and scenic setting of the house on the clifftops overlooking the sea. The clean and well-equipped room, private beach access, and proximity to Castro and Otranto were all fantastic. Most importantly, our host, Francesca, was exceptional, offering helpful recommendations and serving delicious breakfasts. It was a remarkable experience, and we highly recommend it

Nothing negative to say, our stay was great.

It is so peaceful and beautiful! We loved all the details Francesca had with us. I stayed with two friends for a few days and we loved everything. Very private, comfortable beds and having breakfast together outside was lovely.
