We arrived in Carpignano in the middle of a heat wave at the end of July, Milena was there to greet us and was very informative and friendly recommending restaurants and beaches and so on. The flat is clean and in a historic room of a building and consists of a very high ceilinged room with a living space below and a sleeping area on a wooden structure above. There is also a separate bathroom. The kitchen area occupies a corner of the living area below but we didn't use it as although equipped with pans and plates etc there were no basics to get us started (such as salt pepper, oil etc). No real way of making coffee either apart from a minuscule espresso maker, so the locals were perhaps surprised to see us jogging down to the local bar on the two mornings we were there mugs in hand..We wouldn't really have been able to eat in anyway, to be honest,as the heat was such that the tiny walled courtyard at the back was literally like an airless oven and impossible to sit in. We were in Carpignano for two nights and both nights ate out in the two local trattorias which, whilst reasonably basic, were cheap and perfectly friendly. Only other comments would be watch out for the steps from the loft bed, there is no hand rail and in the dark the are potentially lethal, Would absolutely not be safe for children or older people. Milena also charges extra for bed linen at 10 euros a head which we had not noticed until we read the small print.
