Lovely hostel in Salento. The staff were very helpful. It has a gorgeous garden and great cooking facilities. The cats are a bonus! The location is right in the centre. They also organise daily events and the morning coffee is delicious

It's a really nice area to relax and meet other travellers. There are hammocks to relax but also a pool table and open kitchen to cook and socialise. The people who worked there were incredible, super helpful and lovely. The cats were a great bonus, they are super chill and cute.

Without a doubt, the best hostel in Salento! The common areas are perfect for sharing with other travelers and enjoying good company, and the hostel also organizes daily activities on site. We got to enjoy a delicious hot chocolate with cheese and an arepa cooking class with them. It was great!
