We had an amazing stay in Stefano's home and I would highly recommend.
The apartment is very, very spacious, with high ceilings and a very historical feel. The windows are large and allow loads of natural sunlight. Two small balconies look right over one the main street in Gallipoli, and there is an open air room with a dining table and traditional style kitchen which was quite cool.
The apartment is a short walk to many, many restaurants and bars as well as the beach in the old town and the amazing fish market. You can also get to the beaches of Baia Verde very easily which are just a few short miles away. We rented a car and parked at the port which was free. Gallipoli is a great base to explore Puglia, and a lovely coastal town which we absolutely loved.
Stefano was a great host, and was very accommodating with a later check in. He made sure to check in to see how we were doing and even offered to take us to Lecce one evening if we wanted. He is a very kind man and a wonderful host!
