Our stay at “Gli Affreschi” was just perfect. Probably the best place and service we ever found on AirBnB.
The apartment itself is beautiful and extremely well thought out. You can see how much time was devoted to the restoration in all the little details, from the bedroom to the bathroom. It’s a very relaxing place, calming colors, and we enjoyed every moment in it. We spent quite some time on the balcony as well, overlooking the roofs and little alleys of Vico, and the view extends all the way to the sea. In times of Covid, the whole structure was sparkling clean and sanitized; we felt safe.
Unlike most other rentals, this is a B&B true to its name — included in the offer, we enjoyed great breakfasts at one of Vico’s main patisseries which was a short walk away.
Another great feature of staying at Gli Affreschi is that Vico, while welcoming to tourists, is not touristy. It’s We travelled by car all around Gargano and it was nice to come back to a place where we could walk freely and enjoy all the perks of this medieval town. Speaking of cars, the apartment comes with a private parking at 5 minutes walking distance (which is a comforting thought if you travel everyday), but you can park for free in Vico everywhere and we could always find a spot in the little square nearby.
Last but not least, Carmen was such a great host. She was very welcoming, gave us loads of local tips (you’ll find printed documents in the apartment as well) and even booked a table at a local restaurant on our behalf! Communication was very efficient and Carmen always replied quickly to every message. Really, one of the best experiences we had. It left us with a great memory of Vico and Puglia, and a desire to come back as soon as possible.
