Giuseppe and his wife have set up a beautiful new apartment only a few kilometres away from Lecce and the unspoilt beaches of Puglia. Giuseppe was really easy to deal with and spoke English. The apartment is in a small town but only 5-10 mins walk to a supermarket and a couple of bars and restaurants. The town is cute and the locals are very friendly. We easily found parking out the front and Giuseppe was waiting to greet us. The apartment is huge with high curved ceilings typical of Puglia. On entry there is a large lounge room with a flat screen tv with cable channels, WiFi and a sofa bed. The bathroom is very modern with ample storage, shower, bidet and toilet. Giuseppe also provided bathrobes, hair dryer, slippers, spare towels and toiletries. We felt like we were in a five star hotel. Similarly the kitchen had a dining table and all the appliances and utensils you could wish for to cook up a storm. There was also a second tv and basic cooking ingredients. Giuseppe also provided bottled water, milk and some breakfast items. There is an enclosed, private, sheltered courtyard attached to the kitchen which is also great for drying clothes. We made good use of the washing machine provided during our 5 day stay and Giuseppe kindly offered to dry our clothes in his dryer but this wasn’t needed. We also made use of the iron and ironing board and was much appreciated after living out of a suitcase for the last few months. The huge master bedroom is up some stairs and had a large wardrobe, dresser, side tables and lamps. The bed was extremely comfortable with a new mattress and pillows. There was also spare linen and blankets. The bedroom and lounge room each had separate air conditioning units but weren’t required as the apartment is very well insulated. The surrounding area is very quiet with a church in front and easy to walk around as it is all flat. We have no hesitation recommending Giuseppe’s apartment for a short or long stay and wished we could have stayed longer.
