We had the best time at Giammarco's beautiful apartment. Not only is the view the best in Lido Conchiglie (perfect for waking up with an espresso on the patio), but the entire apartment is delightfully airy and spacious and breezy, with beautiful lighting and features. We didn't even need to close the patio door; it was always the perfect temperature. We spent 10 days here and needed to rely on the wifi significantly for work during the day - very reliable! Giammarco was especially kind in offering to pick us up and drop us back off at the Gallipoli train station upon arrival and departure. He even welcomed us with a bottle of his wine. Giammarco also shared lots of recommendations for restaurants and beaches to check out in the area. Plenty of small shops nearby, so we didn't even need to go to the big supermarket closer to Gallipoli and were able to buy all the groceries we needed to cook for the week. Gorgeous sandy emerald beach just a 5 minute walk away (I recommend walking about 10-15 minutes along the beach to fine the clearest water and the cheapest beach clubs!). We did not rent a car but got around by walking and public transportation - the busses are typically behind schedule, but we got to Porto Cesareo very easily (highly recommend - stunning crystal blue water!). Grazie mille, Giammarco! An absolutely wonderful stay and thoughtful, caring, responsive host.
