Maria and Tommaso’s appartment is wonderful. Absolutely as advertised, you are placed right on the beachfront with staggering views of the ocean and Gallipoli.
We were met by Tommaso who, as well as showing us the apartment, was kind enough to walk us around the area showing us where everything was and the best beach. He couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly.
The apartment has everything you need for a beach holiday including a huge balcony area where you can relax and enjoy the views in some shade if you don’t want to sit on the beach.
The beaches and sea are really clean and there were lifeguards on the main beach. Sun shades etc can be hired but Maria has supplied everything you need at the apartment.
Gallipoli is about 10 min. in the car and has plenty to do in terms of food, history and organised tours (sailing, snorkelling, scuba etc) and it’s an easy drive to places such as Lecce for wider exploring.
We visited towards the end of the ‘season’ (mid Sept.) but found that there was still plenty to do and personally we preferred that the beaches were a bit quieter. As pasty brits 30 degrees Celsius is plenty warm enough!
This was the final part of a tour of southern Italy and was perfect to relax and unwind.
Our sincere thanks to Maria and Tommaso.
