The view from the terrace is amazing; perhaps the best I’ve ever had. The apartment is cozy and cute. Perfect for a solo or couple.
Gabriele was out of town, but very responsive. He left me in good hands. His very friendly cousin Emmanuel was waiting for me out on the street when my taxi pulled up. He got me checked in, gave me recommendations, and even arranged for his friend to drive me 20 min to the train station at the end of my stay.
San Marco d’Alunzio is a special place. Very beautiful with great views of the coast. Charming, small town, authentic feel. I didn’t see another tourist during my two days. Perfect spot to unwind and a welcome break from crowded beaches and tourist traps. Walking around the winding old streets on a steep incline among old stone churches is an adventure. Not much English is spoken in the town, but I got by just fine and found that it added to the immersive experience.
A true hidden gem!
