Alessandro's place is excellent! The patio and the view are absolutely unbeatable. You won't find another place like it in your LIFE. a completely unobstructed perfect view of the sea, the lighthouse, boats, and part of old Gallipoli. It's simply stunning. The home is great as well. It's right at the most western end of the island. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance and even a little grocery store with EVERYTHING you'd need. If you are arriving during the high season you can't drive your car to the apartment due to Italy's limited traffic zones, but if you are there during low season you can park right out front. The home had everything we needed to make our nearly one month stay perfect. The kitchen had all the items we needed, the washer was helpful when doing laundry, there were three beds and a nice big shower in the bathroom. The only thing to keep in mind is there aren't any private bedrooms. In order to go anywhere in the apartment, you have to pass through rooms with beds. Italians are known for needing less personal space than many of us around the world...haha. We absolutely loved our time in Gallipoli and especially at Alessandro's place. I can still feel the warm sun beating down on my face while I lounged on the patio with a glass of wine. Alessandro and his father are the BEST hosts. Book this place! You won't be disappointed.
