Arcangelo is a responsive and considerate host. He was very accommodating and, although we don't speak Italian and he doesn't speak English, it was no problem and Google Translate helped us out! The apartment is fantastic - just like the photos and it was nice and spacious for the two of us. The roof terrace is a fabulous to sit and read, or enjoy a drink as the sun goes down. The apartment feels really secure, with an intercom system and shutters on all the windows, although the area itself felt safe too. It's a great base to explore Puglia from - Ceglie Messapica is easily walkable, Ostuni is a 10 minute drive, Lecce and Brindisi are within 45 minutes.
The apartment is within walking distance of lots of great restaurants and bars in Ceglie. We were surprised at how many really good and affordable (compared to London) restaurants are in Ceglie - Cibus was one of our favourites, but we also enjoyed cooking at the apartment after buying groceries in Famila supermarket in nearby Ostuni. We could normally park right outside the apartment, or else a few cars away. The roads can be quite tight so best to hire a smaller car!
Two things to note:
1) the stairs are quite steep which were manageable for us but might be an issue if you have mobility problems
2) there is no Wifi, although we could connect to fast 4G mobile data so, again, this wasn't an issue for us
