E c t Meng In Zapponeta

23/05/2026: A little piece of paradise in the middle of the agricultural desert of Apulia. The facilities are okay, but cleanliness could be better. The restaurant is lovely; they practically cooked just for us. The food wasn't great, but I think we were just unlucky. It's a great place to camp and use the showers. It's also suitable for campervans. The two of us with our tent paid just €8, while the set menu was a bit more expensive at €27 per person. There are several large sheepdogs living here, but they're very friendly and playful. So no worries :)

06/05/2026: I spontaneously stopped by during my cycling trip and asked if I could pitch my tent here. No problem at all; I received a very warm welcome from Daniela and the dogs. I could choose my own spot. It's a beautiful, well-maintained, and relaxing oasis of peace and quiet in the middle of nature. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the rooms or the food, as I had my own supplies and tent with me. A hot shower and drinking water were available. Daniela was very helpful and gave me a great recommendation for the following night, even calling ahead to check if they were open. Since it was still the end of April, it wasn't always easy to find a campsite for the night. 🚲 I started the next morning refreshed and well-rested. I have to say, it was one of the most wonderful stays I've had in southern Italy. And all for €10!
