Marianna was an equally dedicated and sympathetic host, with whom it is worth discussing life issues. Behind the walls lies a little paradise, which one would never have expected from the outside, topped by the beautiful, romantic swimming pool surrounded by lovingly tended plants and trees: this is true hospitality! My wife and I felt very comfortable - thank you, Marianna!

The location of the property is 5-10km away from the beaches and the city of Lecce.\n\nBut everything is very easy to reach, the roads are good.\n\nWe were very satisfied with the owner, she was very friendly and gave us very helpful tips for visiting the beaches and attractions.\n\nThe beautiful pool located in a tropical garden was a pleasant additional relaxation that we used after the beach visits.\n\nWe can only recommend the B&B.

A lovely garden, away from all the confusion but just steps from both Lecce and the sea. A welcoming and caring owner who tends to her home and plants with dedication. A very pleasant stay to remember.

A truly wonderful place, where relaxation is the order of the day. My boyfriend and I also had the opportunity to bring our dog along and were warmly welcomed. The owner's availability and the beauty of the place make it the right place to spend the holiday. The B&B is located a few kilometers from the sea, the city, and all the entertainment venues.

I stayed a few days ago at the 'Sole e Sale B&B' owned by Mrs. Marianna with my girlfriend. Upon arrival, we were greeted with smiles and affection by her, with whom we established a nice relationship during our stay. The assigned room was spacious, very comfortable bed, nice bathroom and equipped with all amenities (TV, air conditioner, etc). We enjoyed the well-maintained pool and comfortable sunbeds by the poolside. The breakfast is the highlight. On the set table, there was really everything: croissants, juices, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, and everything needed for an international breakfast. The location of the structure is in the tranquility of San Cataldo, a sunny yet well-ventilated place. Room cleanliness is top-notch. We will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

We stayed at the Sole e Sale B&B run by Mrs. Marianna from August 16th to 23rd. We chose this accommodation mainly because our 4-legged friends are welcome. Our Penny was welcomed very well and had plenty of outdoor space available. The B&B is very well maintained and also offers guests a swimming pool. We stayed in the ground floor room. The room was very clean and with all the comforts. The towels were changed daily by the host (which is not common for a B&B). Breakfast is served on a terrace. Every morning there were fresh pastries and bread, yogurt, coffee, juices (upon request, a savory breakfast is also possible). All very good. In my opinion, the strong point of the structure is Mrs. Marianna, very kind and pleasant to chat with. She is very helpful and always ready to recommend restaurants, beaches, or excursions to guests. I highly recommend Sole e Sale B&B, especially if you don't want to give up a holiday in the company of your dog. Warm greetings to Marianna.

A delightful stay in an oasis of tranquility. In an ideal location for those who want to visit Salento, and a relaxing retreat after a day at the sea with a final swim in the pool located in the center of a lush garden. Marianna was a delightful host.

My husband and I stayed with our little dog in this accommodation, located in a quiet area, 3 km from the beaches of San Cataldo (LE) and 7 km from the city of Lecce. Very convenient for those who want to relax by the sea and visit the beautiful locations of Salento. The Owner, Mrs. Marianna, always very discreet and friendly, made us feel comfortable throughout our stay. The property has a beautiful swimming pool in a fenced area and spacious rooms tastefully furnished, equipped with a mini-fridge, TV and air conditioning. An added value is definitely the cleanliness with daily towel changes and the delicious sweet/savory breakfasts served on the veranda. We left our hearts there and our little dog didn't want to go home anymore. Thank you Marianna!

We stayed 2 weeks at Sole e Sale B&B and we really enjoyed it. The structure is close to our points of interest (beaches during the day and Lecce in the evening), beautiful and spacious rooms with daily cleaning and towel change, possibility to relax on the sun loungers by the pool. A special thanks to Marianna, always available and capable of preparing excellent and abundant sweet and savory breakfasts.

We stayed only 3 days but they were enough to appreciate both the structure - a beautiful villa immersed in greenery, very well-kept and clean - and the kindness and hospitality of Mrs. Marianna, always available and attentive to every need. We were really satisfied with our choice and highly recommend it! Grazia and Michele.

Beautiful weekend in this facility with nice rooms, clean and with air conditioning. Swimming pool and a lot of greenery. Excellent location two kilometers from the sea and six kilometers from Lecce. Abundant breakfast (sweet and savory). Very kind Mrs. Marianna, the owner of the B&B. Congratulations.

Beautiful and welcoming structure, managed with love and professionalism. Outside, a lush garden surrounds the villa equipped with all the comforts for a pleasant stay. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. The breakfast is top-notch served under the porch. Mrs. Marianna is very kind and helpful and assisted us in everything. Highly recommended B&B. You can go with confidence.

It has been a little more than a week since the end of our stay and we are already overwhelmed by an unbridgeable nostalgia. It was a wonderful vacation to be repeated as soon as possible. It felt like being in an enchanted place, wrapped in an atmosphere of serenity and well-being, all the elements that each of us would like to draw from the places we visit. Marianna, the owner, is a wonderful person who knows how to make people feel at ease, making you feel at home at every moment. Caring, meticulous, friendly, always ready to anticipate our requests. Daily cleaning of the rooms, daily change of linen, abundant and varied breakfasts are habits I have not encountered in other B&Bs.

stayed from 08/19/2013 to 08/27/2013

The answer from the host:
Son contenta di essere riuscita a trasmettere le mie stesse sensazioni, create da me ma felice di condividere con altri. Posso sicuramente dire che l'ospitalità della mia casa mi ha regalato la possibilità di conoscere delle persone speciali quali voi. Contenta di potervi considerare miei amici vi mando calorosi saluti. Un abbraccio Marianna.

lucia

Highly recommended, especially for the familiarity and the atmosphere created by Marianna, the owner. The presence of the swimming pool and a quiet area to read or relax was particularly appreciated by us. The rooms are tastefully and personally furnished. Another positive point is the rich and abundant breakfast, shared with other guests for a moment of pleasant conviviality. We were very sorry to leave, but we plan to return.

stayed from 08/18/2013 to 08/21/2013

The answer from the host:
Ringranziandovi per i bellissimi pensieri espressi in mio favore, non posso che asserire con convinzione che il piacere dei miei ospiti è il mio stesso piacere. Spero di rivedervi presto, un abbraccio. Marianna.

My husband, my daughter, and I stayed in this beautiful B&B for 15 days and at the end of the vacation it seemed like we were leaving a friend who welcomed us with kindness and affection. The rooms are very clean and spacious, the breakfast is abundant and varied, and the property is very well-maintained with a beautiful garden with a swimming pool. We highly recommend it.

Ciao ragazzi, ben ritrovati, spero che la vostra vacanza in Grecia sia andata bene come speravate. Vi ringrazio per la bella recenzione ma volevo solo puntualizzare che il voto sulla posizione non dipende da me, la prossima volta cercate di venire con qualche mezzo di trasporto, a piedi si va poco lontano..ahahh un abbraccio e a presto. P.S. siete simpaticissimi.

caterina

If I had to describe this place in one sentence, I would say that "you enter as guests and leave as friends". This happened during the week spent at the Sole e Sale Bed and Breakfast in the company of our four-legged friend who was welcomed like never before. It is a welcoming, family-friendly place that I highly recommend. Mrs. Marianna, now our friend, made our vacation easier by advising us on beautiful places that only Salento has. I recommend it to anyone who loves nature, wellness, cleanliness and hospitality that few can offer. We are also very happy with the delicious and varied breakfast. I am sure I will return, I take this opportunity to greet Marianna, thank you for everything.

The answer from the host:
Io ringrazio tutti voi perchè siete stati degli ospiti meravigliosi con un'educazione d'altri tempi, se tutti fossero come voi il mondo sarebbe più bello.

In the Sole e Sale B&B in San Cataldo di Lecce, we spent a pleasant vacation in a relaxing and comfortable environment, surrounded by the caring attention of Marianna who, being available to every request of ours, amazed us in the morning with rich and varied breakfasts. To those looking for relaxation and kindness, we highly recommend a stay at "Sole e Sale" in San Cataldo di Lecce.

The answer from the host:
Salve signor Giulio, anche con lei mi scuso per il ritardo nel risponderle, come avrà ben visto la mia vita e le mie giornate sono sempre piene di cose da fare. La ringrazio della bellissima recensione e spero di rincontrare lei e la sua famiglia, io sarò stata anche brava ma voi siete stati degli ospiti meravigliosi. Grazie Marianna.

cecilia

Arriving in San Cataldo without knowing either the area or the structure, I had the very pleasant surprise of finding a place that far exceeded my expectations. Tranquility, generous and welcoming hospitality, spacious and well-furnished rooms equipped with every comfort, a lush garden with a beautiful swimming pool, and above all, the friendly and helpful welcome from Marianna, the open, nice, and professional hostess. The only downside: she cannot lose at burraco. I left a piece of my heart at Sole e Sale B&B, but I am sure I will return soon. Thank you for everything, Marianna.

stayed from 08/05/2012 to 08/20/2012

The answer from the host:
Ciao Cecilia, tra noi è nata una grande amicizia senza il mio B&B sicuramente non ci saremmo mai conosciute. Puntualizzo che siete voi a non saper vincere a burraco contro di me e questo è riferito a Silvia (eterna perdente) Colgo l'occasione di ringraziare anche lei della stupenda recensione. Vi voglio bene Marianna p. s.un saluto alle tre pesti.

silvia

If I could, I would have given a higher rating for the cleanliness, for the breakfast (excellent and abundant) and for the manager. It is difficult to find such well-kept establishments with such a helpful and kind owner. Thank you, Marianna. I will return with friends.

giusy

Staying in this structure we had a wonderful weekend. The comforts it is equipped with are excellent. Its location is fabulous because it allowed us to reach the other nearby tourist and cultural locations that we have in our Puglia. The kindness of the manager is unique. The breakfast is plentiful and the place is relaxing. We will return.

stayed from 08/04/2012 to 08/05/2012

The answer from the host:
Grazie per la bellissima recensione, mi scuso per il ritardo nel risponder.Ho fatto del mio meglio per dare ai miei ospiti ciò che io chiedo quando sono in vacanza, mettendoci amore e passione. Questo è un lavoro bellissimo perché mi da modo di conoscere persone meravigliose come voi. Grazie di cuore vi aspetto. Marianna.
