We included a few days in Galatina after reading about it in a recent Forbes article that profiled three under-the-radar towns in Italy. Galatina was even better than the article described, but the highlight turned out to be our stay at the recently renovated Palazzo Andriani. The location of the property is in the middle of the historic center, so you're surrounded by beautiful architecture, but there is still a strong sense of peace and privacy. The photos don't do it justice, and the amount of space and quality of furnishings are beyond anything we've experienced in a rental (professionally equipped kitchen, Bose sound systems, laundry room with washer/dryer, Italian linen bedding, etc.). It would be possible to stay at Palazzo Andriani and never leave the property...except, of course, to walk across the street for a pasticciotto at the famous Ascalone bakery. Highly recommend and already planning a return visit in the summer.
