I extended my stay in Daniele's beautiful apartment for a few reasons. Firstly, the setting. This light and beautiful apartment sits on a clifftop facing the sea. At dawn, you can watch the sun rise above the sea and cast everything in a golden rosy light. There is stillness there, a sense of peace. Secondly, the apartment is spacious and airy. The kitchen is well-stocked. Everything was so clean you could see your reflection. A television with hundreds of channels. Espresso maker. Thirdly – and most importantly – Daniele goes above and beyond what is expected of an Airbnb host. In traditional Puglian style, he treats you as a special guest of his family. Any issue is dealt with swiftly. He is warm, gentle, amiable, and effortlessly charming and his natural and unassuming generosity will stun you. I can't wait to return.
