Sabina was very friendly and helpful with advice on places to visit, dine, and get our shopping. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, fruit juice, and local biscuits.

The apartment is spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. It is located very near to cafes (our favourite being the one right in front of the harbour for its view, pastries (local one being pasticciotti), and Natale gelati), restaurants, and bars. However the price you pay for being very conveniently located is that you can hear noise from the streets and pizzeria/restaurant next door. There is a little beach nearby but it was too cold for a dip (we visited in April).

It is very good that there is private parking.

Being located in S. Caterina was useful for us to visit Lecce, Gallipoli, the wonderful Porto Selvaggio National Park, and the lovely beach at S. Isidoro.
