It has been a perfect stay at Giovanni's place! (I stayed in his apartment nearly 1 month 18/12/2017-16/01/2018) First of all many many thanks to Giovanni and his family (he's a fantastic Host!). Communication with him was quick and pleasant, he answered all the questions I had and did even more a host had to! Upon arrival in Gallipoli he picked us up at the train station and brought us to the apartment where 2 bottles of wine awaited us! It was very nice. He gave us useful tips about the town and that night even invited us to his home for dinner! Upon departure Maria Rosaria (his wife) presented us a set of copies of prints she had painted herself! It was very touching! As far as the apartment is concerned: the location is superb: in the very centre of Gallipoli with a fantastic view of an old town from the window, everything is within a walking distance from there (shops, cafes, train station, laundry, main sights of interest). There is everything you need for a pleasant stay in the apartment (comfy beds-one king size and 2 single beds, kitchen utensils (as we stay for nearly a month it was very handy), linens, towels, extra pillows. Giovanni is always ready to help you with any issue. If you rent a car-there's a lot of place just outside the apartment. The only issue which may be a bit unpleasant is a bar downstairs..very noisy. On the whole you feel at home there. I strongly recommend Giovanni's apartment. Giovanni, grazie per tutto у credo che ci vediamo di nuovo!!!!
