Spongano is such a lovely, quiet Italian village. If you are looking for a vibrant nightlife this is not the place for you. A place or two for aperitivo, one trattoria and a pizza joint. It is however 10-15km to many lovely rock pools, and more busy towns. In the afternoon everything is closed so beware if you are looking for lunch!
Tonino was the best host, with local suggestions and was so helpful when we had questions. He met us in person and gave us some local cookies which were amazing. He was lovely.
The apartment is on the second floor with a stunning terrace looking out over rooftops. Nice for a sundowner. Original features throughout the property. Cosy and homely place that was fully equipped. Parking was easy to find, always available and very close to the apartment.
Please note that the bathroom is outside the main room, you need to go outside and walk a few meters but very private. It was not an issue for us as it was warm.
