We absolutely loved staying here - the location is great and the two people we dealt with could not have been more helpful. We didn't hire a car but we had everything we needed within walking distance - 30 mins walk to the old town of Gallipoli, and less than 10 min walk to a lovely little public beach, there was also a pizzeria and supermarket round the corner.

The area has a lovely shabby charm, people are incredibly friendly and helpful if you make an effort to speak some Italian with them.

The apartment is a great size and the bed in the main bedroom is a lovely, comfy king sized one.

A couple of things to bear in mind for Brits - as with lots of places in this area the kitchen has fairly basic equipment, so there is no kettle, toaster, dishwasher or microwave. However the hob, oven and fridge freezer are all very good.

We were provided with towels at a cost of 10 euro per person, and we had free wifi usage up to 2GB. There is air conditioning (which we didn't use end May/early June, but some people may need), however you need to pay extra for this, so check that in advance.

Another thing to note is there is no living room, so we used one of the bedrooms as our lounge.

If you have small children you will need to keep the balcony doors closed at all times as the balcony walls/barriers are not high enough to stop small children from climbing/falling.

All in all we loved this apartment and area, we would recommend both to friends.
