We had a great time at Carlo’s place. The house is very spacious, the mattresses are really good, the kitchen is well equipped but be aware that the fridge is small.
It also has 2 toilets, a tiny one upstairs and a huge one downstairs. The house is a medieval labyrinth but renovated.
Now, the location is the best. Montesardo is in the middle of the southeast point of the “heel”. You have at least 20 beaches around to choose. It’s a very small cute town and it has everything you need, a fantastic bakery (the owners are super friendly), make sure to try the antipasti from the butcher. There is also good pizza at Sapore, a vegetable and fruit shop, a tiny supermarket and a farmacy.
And a lot of parking options next to the flat. You can walk to Alessano, which is a bit bigger and has a lot of good restaurants.
Communication with Carlo was easy and he was always helpful.
