Claudio’s place is a jewel in Gallipoli’s crown. His apartment was clean and tidy, had new appliances including a washing machine and oven and had off-street parking behind a security gate for which we were given a remote. Walking into the centre of Gallipoli takes about 30 minutes but can be driven in 10.
Gallipoli itself has a lovely Main Street, corso Roma, and a delightful il centro storico that is easily circumnavigated on foot.
There is a big supermarket very close to the apartment. I loved it here and could happily have remained for another week.
