We had an absolutely lovely stay at Alessandro's place in Sannicola.
All communication went very easily and we were welcomed by Alessandro's parents on arrival. We don't speak Italian and they didn't speak any English or French, but they explained very well and some gestures helped us out as well :) . Alessandro and his parents are very nice and welcoming people.
The apartement was just perfect to accommodate our needs and congratulations for the interior design, loved it. It is simple, yet elegant and functional. It is a bright and cool apartment. In the bedroom there is an AC, this was nice during the night.
There were some information brochures and magazines on Puglia that were nice. We especially liked the brochure of Sannicola and around. It was only after reading half of page one that I realized that a small city as Sannicola doesn't have a tourism office and that Alessandro made it himself. His prefered spots on the beach, cafes and restaurants were in there. It was helpful and there were some great tips inside.
We had a minor issue with the outside door - because there was a special technique to close it that we didn't manage to well...
We contacted Alessandro for this and in only a few moments he already called his dad to help us out with this. Alessandro himself was not staying in Sannicola or around, but that is not a problem at all. He is very responsive and will come up with something to assist you with anything.
When we come back to Puglia we would like to stay at Alessandro's again!
