Elisa was a very thoughtful, helpful host. The apartment was great.
Pescoluse is a small beach town that is basically dead out of season (literally, like a ghost town - almost no people). Which surprised us, but it wasn't a problem for us at all, actually, we liked that weird experience that we had a small town almost entirely to ourselves :) It seems like 95% of the houses in Pescoluse are holiday houses for their owners or for rent. We like to avoid overcrowded and too "touristy" places, so for us, this was a benefit, not a problem. We used Pescoluse as our base to explore a large part of Puglia, and the location was perfect for this. We obviously didn't expect to lay on the beach or swim in the see in December (too cold for both) but the weather was pleasant and we had many walks on the beach - which, again, we had almost entirely to ourselves.
The apartment was clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. It is a few minutes from a great public beach. Due to it being abandoned during the winter, you can't expect to find even basic amenities in town during the winter - the nearest decent supermarket is 9km away, and almost everything is closed. Since we travel by car, this was not a problem for us at all, and we could easily find every kind of store, service, etc. in neighboring small towns, within 10-30 minutes of driving distance.
Elisa was a perfect host, and we had a great experience, five stars to both her and the apartment :)
