We totally agree with other reviews; Donato is a great host!! He welcomed us in the middle of the night because that was more convenient for us, he brought us sweets, gave us ficchi marmelada, and lots of information about the surrounding and places to visit. And all this in an entertaining way, really friendly and enthusiastically. We loved the place so much that we decided to stay two nights longer. It is clean, big for two people, the balcony is very nice, great view, and close (as in 2 minutes walk) to a wonderful place with rocks where you can swim (bring your snorkeling glasses!). A car comes in handy to reach the beautiful places of Lecce & Otranto for example. We recommend staying in this great apartment, and getting to know Donato (who is also a good journalist!!).
