My wife and I stayed at Francesco and Mary’s apartment for one month and I highly recommend it!
The house is only a couple hundred meters from the beach, which makes for convenient swimming and sunbathing. Also, I worked during the stay and the place is very calm and relaxing during the day - there is also a nice view from the kitchen table where I worked down to the water.
The town of Torre a Mare is fantastic and is about a 15 min walk along the water from the apartment. It is a small town but with lots of good restaurants and, at least during the summer, there were lots of people out and about each night. Good energy!
It is a good location to reach many areas of Puglia, but I would recommend renting a car to do so. The train station is about a 20 min walk and the route is not very pedestrian friendly. That being said, we did a combination of car, train and bus to reach various sites.
Lastly, the hosts were very hospitable and communicative. They regularly brought us eggs from their chickens and fruit from their orchard! Also, they were kind enough to arrange a ride for us to the train station when we left. We enjoyed meeting them!
I highly recommend this place!
