Maria and Luigi were the absolute best host we have experienced in Italy and arguably anywhere we have stayed around the world. They went above and beyond their role as a host and assured that we had the best possible experience. They were accommodating with our late check-in and even had a hot pie of Faccacia bread ready for us as well as water, milk, snacks and breakfast for the next day. The apartment was exactly as advertised and everything was in great working condition. We felt like we experienced the old Italy with a mix of modern amenities. The apartment is on the 3rd floor but no issues. Super quiet and within a couple minutes walking distance to restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy, convenient store and a facaccia/pizzaria just around the corner. We were given a private tour of the town and treated to the museum for Rudolph Valentino. They took us and joined us for dinner in a beautiful nearby city (Taranto) and gave us a second tour while there. They also had written suggestions on where to go to maximize our stay. By far the best experience for our 4 day vacation! Will definitely stay at this apartment when in the area! ❤️
