Raffaella's place is a little bit of a special experience a real home from home.
There are lots of little touches. When I arrived after a very hot long journey I was greeted with with a bowl of fresh cherries, ice cold water and a lift in the house to take my luggage to the next floor! Also lots of breakfast things such as bread, cheese, cold meat, jam, pane (bread) and fruit juice and aqua which was very welcomed when I missed the shops on Sunday ( dominica).
The property It is located very central so it's two minutes walk into the central Piazza, which is very nice to sit. You can go out at 9, 10, 11, 12 at night where there are lots of family out and about late at night which I enjoyed very much. Many people sit on the church steps at night to relax and be social. It is very safe to walk alone. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from.
Galatina is a place of discovery. You have to get on foot and look around all the different alley's and roads to find out what it offers.
Rafaella, made sure the room and bed was cleaned every week with fresh linin and towels etc. I had an extended stay so it was very important.
On the last night she cooked a special Italian meal which we had outside. It was very beautiful and she shared her family history.
Nothing was too much trouble and she was always available. Her family are also very lovely and helpful. Grazie Rafaella.
