Our family of four have just spent a week in Apartment La Bohème and absolutely loved it! We highly recommend it! The garden and pool are big and an oasis in the heat of the pugliese summer! The apartment is very stylish and spacious with everything you may need for your stay. It is full of character with high vaulted ceiling and we were grateful to have air conditioning throughout. We also appreciated having two bathrooms (one accessed from the garden). We absolutely loved having our own outside corner eating / seating area. So comfortable! Even though the garden and pool are shared with other families, it never felt intrusive (There was only one other family staying there at the time though. It may get busier if all apartments are occupied). Giuliano di Lecce is a lovely small and traditional Italian village with a nice local atmosphere. It feels like time has stood still here. There is a water fountain where it is possible to refill bottles for 5c a litre and a local groceries store that sold fresh pastries for breakfast and a few other essentials. All in walking distance. The restaurant Fulana was great too, the owner was very welcoming and they had the best Frisé (typical bruschetta). We walked to Patù one evening to get take away pizza from La Pulcinella. The apartment is a great base for day trips to explore the Salento region. We had a great boat trip in Otranto (where we found the best beach). Gaetano was very quick to respond if we had any queries and his mother was very kind and welcoming (I speak Italian so it was easy to communicate). We went to sentiero di Ciollo one morning and it was a lovely easy hike down to the coast. We would have no hesitation in booking Gaetano’s apartment again. You can see that a lot of care and attention to detail have been given to making this a very special place to stay. Grazie Gaetano!
