Maurizio is incredibly friendly and we had a great night there, despite being nearly the only people! Theres not much around the hostel itself but its more or less self-contained. Good wine, good food, and good company!

The best hostel ever!!! Maurizio was really friendly and helpful and it was more like staying at somebody's home than anything - very relaxed atmosphere and great fun. We'll be back!

Was a great place to stay. The staff were really helpful and the ride to get the ferry was a great bonus! I would stay there again for sure!

Even if there were other hostels in Brindisi, I would absolutely reccommend Carpe Diem. This is the motto of the owner, Maurizio, and it shows in his enthusiasm per la vita! The hostel itself is clean, safe, fun, and charming, but it\'s the energy that Maurizio and his daughters bring that make a guest feel right at home. The espresso, drinks, pizza and laughs were delicious. I will definitely be back! Grazie Maurizio! Ciao!

Probably the best hostel I've ever stayed out, to tell you the truth. The folks who run it are awesome: laid-back, friendly, and willing to do a lot to make you comfortable. Just beware if you try to find your way on foot: the signs had been rearranged a little due to construction work, which made it a bit complicated to know where you were going.

THE BEST HOSTEL WE HAVE STAYED AT!!!! Not only is it a cool hostel but Mauritzio who runs it is the most wonderful host you could ask for, going above and beyond for any little request or problem. Cannot recommend it enough!!! A hidden plus is that unlike other hostels you can stay for just the day (rather then a whole night) which is cheaper and gives you somewhere to relax, put down your bags or have a shower whilst waiting for an evening ferry to leave.

Maurizio is awesome at helping to work out ferry connections to Greece, as well as providing transport to and from the hostel. Check out the Sunday BBQ's when they're on!
