When we first arrived in Marcello's apartment we were treated to fantastic home baked chocolate muffins which was a lovely touch and helped make us feel more at home straight away. One of the things we loved about the apartment is it is bang in the middle of the old town and not far from everything we could possibly need. The apartment itself has a nice quirkiness to it that we enjoyed. It also has to be said that the peple of Althamura were very friendly and welcoming, sometimes going out of their way to help us in any way they could. The food in the resturants was also fantastic. Althamura is said to be the home of bread and we could easily see why......also am missing the gelato ice cream. When our stay was over Marcello's girlfriend Sara very kindly dropped us to the train station with our luggage. We very much enjoyed our stay here and felt a little sad as we closed the door for the last time. Thank you for everything Marcello and Sara
