Cosimo and his lovely wife were perfect hosts. They were warm and helpful, gave us a lot of great advice and suggestions for restaurants, gelato, and best Salento beaches. The apartment was perfectly situated, an old cool stone house with vaulted ceilings (ideal in the heat wave!), close to everything in the old city and the Salento bus station. It was well equiped for any needs, and Cosimo even stocked it with a few food basics, including the delicious local pasticiotti and snacks. We had a really great time!
