Cosimo is a fantastic host and his apartment in Galatina is just a gorgeous spot to stay. Rooms were even bigger as expected, and it offers a nice private terrasse.
Galatina itself is worth a visit (especially don't miss the Cattedrale), but it is also a good location to start exploring the Salento region from. Maglie, Nardò, Otranto are really nice, Lecce a must!
Never hesitate to ask Cosimo for tipps - he was happy to help us also find some fantastic beaches!
Highly recommended!
