I had a very good stay at Raffaella's place and it was due to many factors - really good conditions, place, price and the host itself. Raffaella is a very charming lady of big personal culture. She is hosting at a upper floor of her house which itself is lovely, too. There are 4 rooms there (not sure all of them are being rented) I stayed in a single room and could work, which was important to me - wifi worked fine and I had a desk. The bathroom was huge. Also well equipped kitchen was great to have and I loved the morning coffee. Raffaella also many products to have a breakfast, better then in many italian hotels offering just a cornetto. She treated me with some oranges from her garden.
There was a minor problem with the heating but it was solved immediately.
The house is literally 5 minutes from the old city and Galatina is definitely a place worth visiting and staying. There are many places to eat, but I just grabbed pizza from the closest pizzeria Basilico, fantastic!
