Brindisi is a super beautiful and very 'un-touristy' town. We didn't come across one single souvenir shop, which was nice.
The apartment was amazing and even better, than we thought it would be. Smack in the middle if the old town. Alessandro's (probably) former nonno's / grandpa's apartment is full of treasures and beautiful old furniture. It's spacious and has this amazing huge balcony with a sea view. Check-in was easy with Maurizio, the housekeeper. We loved it and would have lived to move in there straight away :-)
