Services
A luxury house for rental, the boutique bed and breakfast Guest House La Tana del Riccio provides all the comforts (including WI-FI) in a private and friendly atmosphere, within the charming context of Vaste di Poggiardo, an historic hidden borough in southern Italy. Services such as breakfast, to be enjoyed in the beautiful small garden of next door Bar Baronale, and daily cleaning are granted by our staff, on the spot all mornings.
Amenities include flavors from the local countryside, seasonal fruit, oil and honey. And basic “ingredients” in the common kitchen
Everyone can benefit from the common spaces; first of all, the Atrium serves as the kitchen and great room which everyone will use during their stay, separated by large windows from the “Zen” Garden. An open air garden accented by lemon and orange trees, serves as a natural extension of the atrium, with comfortable tables and stone benches. The Terraces, approximately 90 square meters, provide a view that presents the true character of the village. Separate areas are set for sunbathing, shower, relaxing, lounging and dining with the convenient summer kitchen (BBQ).
We offer to the guests of the four suites, each with its own personality, some hotel like services, such as linen changes (once a week), towels (twice a week), and daily cleaning. In order to limit your luggage weight, we provide a set of beach towels, a cooler and a bag. Hair dryer is available in each suite.
Based on our network and experience in the area, and your feedback, we have arranged for guests of the La Tana del Riccio, discounts (10-20%) and preferred services with selected local restaurants and beach rentals for umbrellas and access to the beach.
When you’ll arrive at La Tana del Riccio, you’ll be welcomed by our staff (please let us know in advance your expected arrival time), introduced to your Suite and the House and provided with all the necessary information you may need to feel immediately home, ready for your holiday, including advices on where to buy food if you want to cook your meals home. In every Suite you’ll also find a “Memo“, a “reminder” of all useful info, and a copy of the “Hedgehog Guide“, a list and details of what we feel are the best restaurants and beach resorts in the area.
Please do not hesitate to ask for special arrangements or services you might desire as we are willing to accommodate your needs.
For example, upon request we can connect you to local and trustworthy babysitters, you may enjoy SpA treatments being provided by licensed professional in your suite, set you on boat tour up and down the Adriatic coast and so forth, always linking you with reputable businesses. By the way, if you wish you may learn to make home made pasta at La Tana del Riccio with Catia, our housekeeper: it takes just one lesson!
In order to make the planning of your time easier and interesting, we offer you the extraordinary opportunity to choose your own “Local Expert” by booking online your travelling experiences in Salento and Puglia. TourAnGo! puts travelers in contact with local experts (e.g. you may learn to make mozzarella in a masseria). Finding and buying online tours, excursions, entertaining events, and unique and authentic experiences is easy and amusing just as discovering genuine flavors, traditions and places that only local people would know.
During the summer months, La Tana del Riccio offers weekly a glass of champagne Grand Cru Brut Varnier to celebrate your vacation stay in Salento and meet all other guests.
Each room has Air Conditioning/Heating, TV, refrigerator, and a safe. Bathrooms have hair dryer, shampoo and shower gel.
If you wish to have a kitchen of your own and an independent entrance, ask for The Hedgehog’s Suite.
If instead you have kids which you wish to keep close to you, ask for the bilevel Travelers’ Suite with its two separate night areas.
For the free spirits the ideal would probably be The Orange Suite on the Terrace level, isolated from the rest of the Guesthouse.
The Stars’ Suite is the most spacious, with high vaulted ceiling, and extra large bathroom.
