I am Italian, and since I was 4 I have been spending my vacation in Puglia. Thus, I know the Region quite well.. Nonetheless, La Tana was a great find! My partner (from Chile) and I spent a week in the suite Riccio and loved it. The small town is fantastic, the town square reminds me of old Italian movies. Baroque surrounded us.. La Tana is very clean and comfortable; they even had beach towels! so no need to bring them! Further, even though, there were other guests (a group from the north of Italy), we could not hear any noise! The staff - fantastic. Starting with G., the factotum, who I had to call at 3am because the other guests had locked us out, and he arrived with a smile (actually, he laughed!) further, he suggested a couple of great places to eat. One a few minutes away, the pizzeria Lievito Madre, in Poggiardo.Perfect pizza made with hemp dough... Continuing with the cleaning staff...nice and knowledgeable of the area... ending with the Baronale! The cafe where we had breakfast. La Tana partners with the Cafe Baronale where we could have breakfast - espresso e cornetto o pasticciotto (typical local sweet). Baronale is a lovely cafe in the square of this tiny town. The passaparola here is the most important thing.. they referred to La locanda dei Camini in Boturgno - another great find! Finally, the owner, prepared a very helpful booklet mentioning the best beaches to visit, recommending restaurants, etc.. a very useful pocket guide! We loved it! I am ready to go back!…

I didn't really want to give a review as I'd like to keep it all to myself! It is an absolute gem. A beautiful b&b in Salento, Puglia, it is perfectly placed for exploring the area. The rooms are gorgeous, breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We were recommended the most wonderful restaurants to try and some of the most amazing beaches to visit that we would never have found by ourselves. I can't wait to go back!!

The "La Tana del Riccio" Poggiardo is a beautifully renovated authentic building with several totally different types of room each with its own architectural flair. Enjoyed the rooftop vistas, the high vaulted ceilings and hearty Italian welcome. Not only is the B& B extremely well maintained, but the location ideal within a lively old town with a perfect Piazza, bar and evening entertainment. la Tana del Riccio is the perfect starting point for all ventures around the southern tip of Italy - be it swimming in pristine blue waters, sightseeing or enjoying the multitude of culinary delights. Will come again

The villa was wonderful. The perfect place for friends to stay and congregate together while still having your own space. Well appointed with renovated historic character and super convenient and accessible to get around the Puglia region and experience the food/wine, sea and history the area has to offer.

A week at La Tana del Riccio is like a warm slice of heaven. Set in the untouched village of Vaste by an orange grove, under twinkling fairy lights. Lara and her team let you experience true Italian hospitality with flavour, colour and absolute bliss. Starting the day with locally grown fruit, delicious pastries and espresso. Cruise in the lovebus Kombi to crystal waters of the Adriatic.Lunch gazing over the pristine coastline,delicious seafood and local wine .Follow it up by handbag shopping - design your own and ready next day! Return to Tana feeling hazy,sun touched and ready for your massage. ... ..Haven't seen the last of me Tana Del Riccio

Had a wonderful stay at this Guest House. It was lovely, clean and spacious with a number of terraces. Works well with friends and family or as a single room. Puglia is a beautiful, unspoilt part of Italy.

We spent a week with good friends, all of us stayed at La Tana del Riccio. What a gorgeous house, spacious clean rooms, extremely comfortable beds, good bathrooms, great kitchen and dining area and rooftop terraces. Laura and her brilliant team did everything to make our stay perfect. Salento is a stunning part of Italy, unspoiled, with a most spectacular coastline, hidden coves and beaches, lovely towns and villages.The food and wine of this area is simple yet extremely good, and nothing is overpriced. There are so many places to visit, eat, drink that a week was simply not enough. We shall return, many times. And stay at La Tana del Riccio. Thank you Laura

My husband and I stayed at La Tana del Riccio in mid-October. We found the guest house sparkling clean, spacious, comfortable and welcoming. Evenings we enjoyed wine and cheese on the rooftop terrace watching lovely sunsets. When the mornings were warm enough we had coffee in the walled garden off the common space. The interior is exquisitely finished to make the most of the old architecture and combine it with modern finishes and furnishings. Warm, friendly Laura, one of the owners was most helpful in recommending area restaurants and outings in the area. Each day we took a drive: to the nearby seacoast, to the cities of Lecce and Gallipoli, driving through vineyards, huge groves of old olive trees on pretty winding roads. We loved the coastal drive with exqusite views over the sea and small towns with their man-made harbors. With only 4 rooms this guest house would be a lovely place for a family get-together or a reunion of friends. On the other hand each of the rooms is spacious and private, and there is plenty of room with the several outdoor spaces. Wonderful find!…

After having stayed at the so called "Hedgehog's Den"(La Tana del Riccio) for about a week with my girlfriend, there is no doubt that we will have to return for an additional visit. The accommodation itself is great in terms of basically all the traveler's needs with spacious rooms, great cleaning service, good kitchen, free of charge laundry machine, a lovely atrium, big rooftop with a grill etc., but what we especially fell in love with was this completely unspoiled part of southern Italy called Puglia. The coastline in this area is nothing short of astonishing and many places you have almost entirely to yourself. Porto Miggiano, which was one of my favorite places, is only a 20 minute drive from the house and it is an absolutely beautiful place for swimming and diving - very recommendable. Even for the culturally interested there are several historical places to visit in the area like Lecce, Otranto and many others. And as an added bonus, prices(restaurant and i.g.)in the area are ridiculously low. I was going to keep it a secret, but I feel I owe it to the place to share my experience; simply magnificent.…
