We really liked the stay in Lucas apartment, because it was quiet, the terrace has a great view and it has an outside shower. Alessano is absolutely not touristy which we really enjoyed. The only thing is, that is was really hot in August and it also doesn't really cool down at night. People who are sensitiv for hot weather should better come in september or october.
Lucas was a great host who organized a really nice boat trip for us and gave us other good hints for exploring the region. On top he surprised us with nice breakfast treats in the morning.
