I highly recommend this Airbnb! Stefania and Giorgio have a wonderful space and are such very attentive hosts.
You will love waking up in a charming, well decorated room to enjoy the sunrise on your private patio overlooking the Ionian Sea. Watch the fishermen leave in their boats for the day’s fresh catch, then move to the dining patio for a simple breakfast and more wonderful views. In the evening, watch the sunset from your patio before walking to the Centro or the Corso for dining and shopping.
Stefania’s is located on the South side of the Centro Storico so it’s quiet and yet is only a short stroll into the heart of the Centro. The walk to the Corso Roma in the new part of Gallipoli only takes about 10 minutes, which gives you the options of shopping or dining both touristico or locale.
Giorgio was helpful and provided many dining options letting us know where he and Stefania liked to eat (always go where the locals go). He also provided us with some wonderful beach destinations in the area and region, which we happily visited.
If you’re traveling by car, don’t worry about the parking. Stefania provides easy instructions on how to drive into the Storico to drop your bags and Giorgio will meet you and show you where to park. It was a breeze.
We were extremely glad we choose to stay here and we fell in love with Gallipoli because of it. Oh, don’t forget to check out the ancient cistern in their lobby.
