We stayed at Luigi´s at the beginning of August for one week and we had a fantastic time ! The house is very spacious and very clean, with a big bathroom and also a very big terrace with a view of the sea where we chilled in the evenings and had our dinner. It was very homely and Luigi and his family were very friendly and helpful.
The centre of Gioiosa Marea is a 5 minute walk down the (steep) hill (walking up is a good exercise) where there a bars &restaurants and and a supermarket. The beach is a 10 Minute walk - and it is a very long, clean beach with crystal clear water and loads of fish - and surprisingly empty for that time of year (mostly italian tourists)
We would strongly recommend staying at Luigi´s if you are travelling to GM ! Thanks again for everything Luigi and see you next time ! R&B
