The apartment is exactly how it is pictured here. The description is also absolutely accurate. The availability of TV, air-conditioning, and kitchenette was an advantage. A comfortable place to stay for a week or two.

The cosy town of Carpignano is 15 minutes away from the Alimini beach (which we found the most comfortable and clean), 30 minutes from Lecce (the most beautiful city of Salento, to my judgement), and 10 minutes from Otranto (its old town is a must visit).
The only thing I could think that we didn't expect is the close vicinity of the church that starts its service on Sunday at 6:30 am, ringing the bell. However, it didn't cause any discomfort giving the charm to our stay in the town.

Despite the very late afternoon on Saturday (our trip from Napoli took longer than we expected), Andrea met us, showed everything and was always available for any inquire and texted or called back to me very promptly. I could not expect more in terms of communications and personal approach.

I would absolutely recommend the apartment and Andrea as a host. Hope to come back in the future.
