Well I wish I was still there! the apartment is an annex to their villa with a good kitchen, comfortable bed and wood fire as well as central heating so great in winter. it would be good in summer too. The family is lovely and brought me a traditional meal with their own hand made pasta. Maglie is a thriving town unlike some of the tourist summer-only places so has shops and cafes, even a sports centre. Only 30 minutes drive into Lecce and one hour to Brindisi airport.
