Eva's house is truly beautiful! We stayed for 17 nights and we really enjoyed it! The apartment is very spacious with two large bedrooms and a really nice bathroom with an excellent shower.

The apartment is renovated, very clean, and we even got extra bed linens and plenty of towels. All other supplies where also plentiful to last the whole stay. It was great for children. We borrowed a baby cot and a a baby chair which felt brand new. The garden was also perfect for children with grass, swings and slide. Even a cat and a turtle to play with.

Easy to drive to, great secure parking. Small supermarket within walking distance. We also walked to Santa Caterina, Santa Maria al Bagno and Porto Selvaggio for beach and bathing. Lecce is close, very nice town - we went there twice. Gallipoli is even closer, and also oh so beautiful!

Eva is an absolute pleasure to communicate with. She answers any message within minutes and helped us with everything from cheese graters to activity tips for rainy days.

Sadly we never got to meet Eva, but instead we where so lucky to meet Sebastiano every day. Sebastiano who is the gardener/fix-everything-24-hours-a-day-man is an absolutely unique person. He started of by being so welcoming and nice and even brought his English speaking niece as a translator. Then he continued to amaze us. One example: Our car battery went bad on a Sunday. We got the car running and drove to an open gas station hoping to buy a new one, only to be told it was completely impossible to buy a battery on a Sunday. We messaged Eva for advice who messaged Sebastiano. Me an my wife where joking that Sebastiano would show up the morning after with a battery. He showed up 30 minutes later. On a Sunday evening. He even helped us install the new battery. WOW!

Our score for the apartment is 999/1000. The last point is deducted for the kitchen being disconnected from the rest of the apartment. This makes cooking a little less social than if you have the kitchen in the apartment.

We are very happy with our stay and would love to return if we would go to southern Puglia again. Next time hopefully when the pool is open - that would likely increase the score to 1200 out of 1000! :)

Extremely nice Airbnb experience!
