If you’re looking for a base from which to explore Puglia, I can highly recommend this place. It’s in a small historic town about 8 k from Gallipoli. It’s very quiet but still has the basic stores and restaurants. We stayed for two weeks doing day trips every day to different beaches and other landmark sites. Most of the places we visited were within an hour’s drive.
The apartment is wonderful in every way - fully equipped clean , comfortable, modern. Perhaps the best is the private roof terrace where we ate most of our meals. Rino was an excellent host—warm, friendly, and above all full of suggestions for exploring his lovely Salento. It was a wonderful place to come home to each evening and enjoy the end of the day.
