What a fantastic place to stay in Martina Franca!
Francesco's place was tight up our street - quirky, historic, authentic Italian and central to Martina Franca's historic centre.
The location is absolutely perfect for a stay in Martina Franca. You are right in the middle of the Italian culture. The house is in a residential area, and life starts surprisingly early, eg: bin collections at 7am, and a local dog barking. But that didn't bother us in the least.
The house is full of art, books, a life lived. Francesco was an excellent host. And despite not speaking much English, he is a whizz with Google Translate!
We would highly recommend this place, and hope to return to Martina Franca in the future!
