Best hosts ever!
We've spent 2 weeks at this second floor appartment on the lovely and long Rivabella beach (2 adults + 2 teenagers + a toy poodle) and we had a relaxing and wonderful time. The appartment is comfortable and was sparkling clean, with quality linen and towels and plenty of wardrobe space. Tommaso & Maria prepared a welcome basket with products to cook a pasta dinner and breakfast the following morning. :-) The balcony is perfect to enjoy the sunset view over the sea with an aperitivo.
On the same block there are several bars and restaurants that also offer take away orders , as well as a small supermarket. You don't even need to use the car (which has an assigned parking space in the building), unless you want to visit lovely Gallipoli (10 min drive), Santa Maria de Leuca (amazing views) or Lecce. There's also a bigger supermaket nearby (3 min drive). Food in Puglia is amazing: tuna and swordfish are great everywhere; and we highly recommend Martinucci (in Gallipoli) for excellent icecream or pasticciotti (typical Salento pastries). Maria & Tommaso surprised us with a box of pasticciotti one morning! They were super helpful and incredibly thoughtful, replying quickly to our messages and checking in to make sure everything was ok. They really went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay. They even gave us a bottle of Negramaro wine as a parting gift! Puglia, Gallipoli and Rivabella are great and so are these amazing hosts! We really hope to come back.
