This was a highlight of our Puglia trip September 2022. I could give many more than 5 stars to our hosts, Lilli & Aldo. Delightful Beach House is small but very well-thought-out. They added a touch of "love" to the house with the fun decor'. Our delayed train from Lecce left us stranded at the Maglie train station with a 1-1/2 hr. wait for the next train ... and Aldo came to the rescue! He picked us up and delivered us to our doorstep (and returned us to the bus station at the end of our trip). Gracie Mille! They had a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us, and a spectacular view of the sea as well. It was, however, too windy/cool to use the shared terrace as we had planned. But our "neighbors' did! We just needed a little warmer weather to enjoy thoroughly. Later in the week it was much calmer and we enjoyed a very "protected" area of the beautiful Adriatic at a city beach. Just a perfect "swimming pool" kind of a beach that was calm and clear and perfect for your "lazy days". An example of everything you need: snorkeling gear and towels was at the house ready to go! (And we did get a chance to use the rooftop terrace before we left.) Perfect.
The hike to town was considerable (when blustery and cool) but quite enjoyable and certainly easy on warmer days. We found many good restaurants and Lilli provided excellent recommendations. She was the hostess with the "mostest", helping us with so many little things, too numerous to list. We want to learn a little more Italian just to talk to Aldo! I know he would be such fun.
If you are looking for a perfect getaway, enjoy walking, appreciate sea views and swimming, smiling and relaxing, this is your place. I guarantee you will feel well-taken-care of. Did I say 'perfect'? Note: Street parking if you are driving right in front of the house.
