As described, Andrea’s flat is welcoming, cozy and well-appointed in the centre of Gallipoli’s old centro storico. It is located within 5 minutes to the center’s beautiful beach and even closer to the main drag, grocery stores and restaurants. The store directly below the flat was particularly convenient and offered fair prices –try their burratini which is a locally prepared soft cheese (amazing!).

Upon our arrival, Andrea's parents were very welcoming. Elsa had fresh fruit ready for us in the fridge which was perfect after a hot day of traveling. Elsa and Dino are great people and amazing hosts!! We appreciated their grocery, fish market and restaurant recommendations. It was great to take in the culture and pretend to be temporary residents rather than visitors passing through.

We were very comfortable in this flat with 4 adults. We are "Italian sized" so that helped - but it is surprisingly spacious with ultra high and artistic ceilings. The kitchen is well stocked with new appliances, pots, pans, plates, table cloths, wine glasses, cups, etc. - it has absolutely everything you need to make a full fledged meal.

The bedroom is spacious and comfortable - with lots of room for clothes storage, etc. It is quiet at night so don't worry about street noise. We did not experience any problems with our WiFi connection - no complaints! WiFi even worked on the rooftop terrace. One of the most memorable parts of my trip was sipping on a glass of Negroamaro wine while watching the sun go down - what a great view. Serenity and privacy like no other!

TOP reasons to choose this listing:
1. Two private terraces - including a secluded rooftop terrace that offers a great view of the sunset and sea
2. Outdoor rainforest shower was refreshing and convenient after a visit to the beach

You will love this place and immediately feel at home.

Grazie mille - Elsa and Dino!
