We had a wonderful stay over 10 days at Massimo's place. The apartment was well located on the edge of the old city, was beautifully renovated and stylishly furnished, and had all the amenities you could possibly need. It was also spacious and quiet, with a great roof terrace. There were lots of cafes and restaurants quite close at hand, as well as a market selling fresh produce (including fish, chicken, cheeses etc) and small supermarket within a five-minute walk. If you arrive by car, there is adequate parking in Via Manifattura Tabacchi just around the corner. We never had any issues finding a spot and parking for a day cost around 5 euros via the easy-to-navigate ticket machines. The hosts were very quick to respond to our various enquiries, including information about local facilities and day trips. Massimo's apartment offered a fabulous opportunity to unwind and explore various corners of the Salento region before returning home. We would highly recommend it.
