Upon our arrival it was a bit rocky as no one was there to meet us. We waited 2 hours, then found a cafe to make a phone call. We reached Carmela on the phone but could not communicate with her so we then went back and still know one was there. As it was getting late we went in search of new accomadation and while winding through tiny little streets we ran into a lady waving at us. We must have looked like tourists! It was Carmela! So we followed her back, she let us into the apartment and she was off, it was very brief and we didn't communicate with her the rest of our stay. But, her daughters were very kind, introduced themselves and gave us suggestions on places to go which was very helpful and appreciated!

Carmelas place is very beautiful, tranquil and relaxinig. You can sleep easy while listening to the sound of the ocean, it was nice to come back to after a long day. We sat outside everyday to enjoy the fresh breeze. We also made two new great friends, her lovely dog Erculi and cat Breta who made the stay very nice too.

You definitely need a car if you have heavy bags and want to go visit anywhere outside of the Peschici. The town was very quiet and nice but there are not many places open this time of year. But, we did find one incredible restuarant which we highly reccomend (10 minute walk from Carmelas) Restaurante Da Carlino! Go!!! The family is so kind and the food is to die for!!!!

Other than the arrival, lack of communication and having to be outside to use the internet our stay was great!
