The B&B Il Gelso is located in the nice and quite countryside of Salento, in Monteroni di Lecce, just 5 km from Lecce, a few kilometers from the city of Copertino, and 15 km from the wonderful beach of Porto Cesareo.
The B&B Il Gelso is the ideal place for people willing to spend short or long periods of time in the peace and relax ot the countryside of Salento, being able, at any time, to reach both the wonderful Lecce, and the most famous beaches on the Ionic or Adriatic see, such as Gallipoli, Porto Selvaggio, Castro, Otranto, the spa resorts of Santa Cesarea, Santa Maria di Leuca, but remaining far from crowdy and noisy places.
31 km from Melpignano, where the famous La Notte della Taranta takes place in August, the B&B Il Gelso is the pefect choice for both families and groups of friends willing to spend their stay in a friendly environment. We welcome bikers, people riding bicycles, trekking admirers and any other categories of tourists, and have estabilished contacts with all theese communities, both in Italy and abroad, offering special offers to travelling groups.
The informal attitude of the owners and their open mind, differentiate the B&B Il Gelso from the more traditional hotels and/or B&B of the area, allowing anyone to find a comfortable and friendly welcome and a warm interaction for the entire stay. The authentic principles of the B&B hospitality are offered to the guests, providing a family-like atmospere but allowing privacy and relax.
The essential, clean and comfortable style, allows the visitor to feel at home, to use the house to read, to listen to music, to watch tv, and, if he wants to, to interact with the other guests and with the owners.
The breakfast with typical and often home made products, allows to sample the real atmosphere and ''flavours'' of Salento, and the hospitality of its people.
Due to its characteristics our property can also accomodate your pet friends. Please bring them with you: we will be happy to host them.
