We really liked this apartment. Giovanni met us at the coach station and took us there which was very kind of him. When we arrived, the cupboards and fridge were stocked with all the staples, coffee, tea, breakfast, oil, vinegar, etc which we did not expect, so this was a great welcome. After a few days, we asked for a second key, and it was delivered within the hour. All in all, great service, and we would highly recommend this apartment. The apartment is situated at the beginning of the Baia verde, so you can cross the road to the beach. The historic centre is a 20 minute walk or a short bus ride. Buses pass in front of the apartment every hour (with a gap between 1 and 4 for siesta). There are also lots of private taxis, we used a guy called Massimo who was lovely. His card is in the tourist office. I recommend a daytrip to Lecce as the historic centre is beautiful. We took the coach there, the journey is about an hour. There is also a splendid market in Gallipoli on Wednesday mornings for food shopping.
