Nice flat, very beautifully refurbished / decorated and although we didn’t use the kitchen, we could see the appliances were of high standard.
The little downsides (bearing in mind my husband and I are light sleepers) were a bed which isn’t the most comfortable one, any sound from the neighbours resonating loudly across the building (we could hear them watching TV, speaking on the phone etc) which means I would have struggled to sleep without ear plugs, and a few hot water issues that my husband had and means you need to keep showers very short and not have two people showering in a row. Wifi access would be nice too although we could live without it.
The rooftop has great views and is nice for a drink at sunset (not sure how practical it would be to dine al fresco though).
Parabita can seem a little remote but this quaint little town really grew on us, the old town is charming and we appreciated the calm and authenticity compared to busier places like Gallipoli.
Communication with Livio was pretty good, loads of recommendations were sent in advance which were very helpful, and check-in instructions were clear.
Overall I would definitely recommend it as a base to explore the Salento coast!
