Apulia Suite\Rooftop Terrace & Direct Beach Access
The apartment is modern, spacious and nicely furnished. It is located on the 4th floor of a residential block with 2 large terraces with sea views. A small, quiet beach is on one side, and a very long and busy beach on the other. In the immediate vicinity there are numerous shops and restaurants. You don't need a car if you don't want to go on excursions. Maria and Tommaso are extremely nice and helpful. Check-in and check-out were very efficient. A basket of food and drinks was provided for the reception, and on the last day as a surprise a bottle of olive oil. Everything has been thought of in the apartment, even beach loungers. The WiFi works well, and the car can be parked in the courtyard. It was a very relaxed week.

Elegant beachfront apartment.
Amazing place. Very close to the beach and city center. A nice place to relax. I really recommend it.

Studio Dimora Borgo Monte Free Garage
We had a lovely stay in Maria’s apartment, the apartment was clean and really nicely presented. The bed is also extremely comfortable and the location is perfect. We stayed for a week in otranto and couldn’t recommend it more, the restaurants were all really well priced and delicious. The town itself is very peaceful and quaint. Maria was very helpful with anything we needed and gave us a lot of recommendations on things to do. Five stars from us!!
Otranto Altomare
Great location! And guiseppinas its a great host ! Thanks

Panoramic Penthouse
Had an absolutely amazing week in this accommodation. Felt right at home from the warm welcome of Daniela and Valentino at check-in. The accommodation was very clean and provided with everything and a little more that we could need. The accommodation is located with fantastic panoramic ocean views, very close to the water, several different beaches and swimming areas. The accommodation is located between two villages with exquisite restaurants and cafés on each side. We are more than satisfied with our stay and will be happy to come back here.

Gallipoli - exclusive waterfront
Had a great time in this Airbnb, very clean, extremely spacious and had everything we needed. There are two lovely beaches near the apartment as well as a good supermarket. Only downside is the distance to Gallipoli old town but we had a car and found parking no problem

Modern and BRIGHT apartment with a sea view
Very nice apartment and full of amenities. Accurate description and photos, and in person, the performance is definitely superior. High-quality materials and finishes. The large, fully covered terrace is beautiful and useful, which is next to a 2nd terrace, and access to a roof terrace with striking views of the sea and the village. Available and very prepared host, who makes use of the valuable and timely collaboration of the father (and in our case also the brother) on site. Beautiful experience, to be hoped for and recommended to anyone interested in visiting the area. Small ideas (in my opinion) for further improvement... but we are at excellent levels. 1) a small mirror would not have been bad in the rooms; 2) the living room needs 1 or more lamps (especially if you use the sofa beds) and the distribution of the switches is not very functional. 3) the sofa bed is a little noisy and the use of an "ad ok" mattress should be evaluated (the one supplied is a little too thin)

At Adele's house, fantastic terrace overlooking the sea!
Really enjoyed the sea view from the terrace

Marinaia - Casa Alba
We stayed for 11 nights in June. The place was very private and quiet. The apt. had everything we needed. The sea was really just a 1 minute walk away and there were hardly any other people swimming. The water was very nice. The terrace was incredible and had direct sun only in the morning. The view is east bound. The master bed was good in size, the mattress could be better. Towels and sheets were plenty and clean. The washing machine was good. The kitchen stove works with gas and the hot water works with a boiler. The water pressure was good and the water was always warm. The oven didn’t work unfortunately, switching it on made the electricity go off. WiFi does not work well inside the house but on the terrace, but we didn’t mind. We had a wonderful stay here and would recommend the place for a couple or a small family.

Villa by the sea
This house is a real gem. It is located right at the sea. There are stones in front of it but you can go swimming, if you want. On both sides approx. 5-10 min are very nice sandy beaches. The view is amazing and we had super nice sunsets. The house has everything you need and the kitchen is fully equipped. The decoration is maritime and quite cute. It was really peaceful and we had a great time. There are a couple of restaurants in the village as well as shops and even fish shop. We were there at the end of May. Many shops and restaurants were still closed but 20 min by car there is a bigger town where you have everything. We really enjoyed our stay. If you look for peace and quiet - book this lovely house! Highly recommended!

Charming villa with sea view pool, beaches
We felt completely comfortable. Rosanna welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips. The house is in a beautiful unobstructed location... you could take a creative break here for a longer period of time! The rooms and decor are very tastefully designed. The pool is truly a dream. Nice water! In the kitchen it has everything you need. It is important to have a car, as a good Supermercato is already a 10-minute drive away. The beaches are very nice and the water clean and beautiful! Puglia is very pleasant to travel in autumn. It doesn't have everything open anymore, but it has a lot fewer people!

At Uncle's house: house on the sea
Arturo and his family welcomed us pleasantly .. extremely nice . The accommodation in its simplicity and cleanliness has everything you need and even more to allow you to spend a few days of serenity. Priceless sea view .. to disconnect the mind. Thank you so much for hosting us.

Fabulous historic Palazzetto breathtaking seaview
Words cannot describe how immensely special and beautiful this home is. Even the walls have soul! Every bedroom is in its own floor, which felt very private. The home is decorated beyond beautifully and is within walking distance of everything on the island, including amazing restaurants. What words cannot explain is how after staying at many Airbnb’s throughout our travels, the host is BEYOND amazing. She provided customized recommendations for everything on the island based on her experiences (the home is a beautifully restored family home)…. Places that avoided the typical tourist traps. She made sure we were absolutely comfortable, going out of her way at every opportunity. If her parking space is free, without a doubt, I recommend getting it as parking is very limited on the island. The view is literally the best in all of Gallipoli. Literally. Enjoyed so many gorgeous sunsets on 5 different terraces!!!!! Of course, the top one with a 360 degree view could not be beat!!!

Il Pittosforo by Casa di Marco (AP16)
Everything is as in pictures, the house is very big and clean, everything you need there. It’s a bit dark and humid but it’s normal for Italian houses I suppose Marco was super responsive and helpful The only thing that was different was that downstairs the windows towards the backyard were fenced blocking the view for the trees and backyard. When we were there some renovations were going on the adjacent hotel, so that’s also something to consider :)

Upstairs by the sea
House in a very good location in a very quiet environment. Pietro is very available and has a real sense of hospitality. Ideally located to explore the area and with a small beach nearby (2 min walk) to swim safely and snorkel (which is a real plus, because in Italy the beaches are either private: overcrowded, or difficult to find for access to the water due to the geological specificities of the coast). We were a couple and really enjoyed this house.

"Villetta Consiglia" in Salento (lit. Gallipoli)
Very nice, clean, well-equipped apartment with a mega-large garden area. Very nice hosts who welcomed and said goodbye to us with gifts, Giuseppe was always available & everything worked out fine. We'll be back!

Beachfront - Amazing sea view balconies
Great apartment with a perfect location to explore Puglia. It’s very spacious and Vittrio was so helpful. Highly recommend

Dimora delle Terrazze: a noble palace with a view
This is a fantastic place and we’d highly recommend it! Beautiful, spacious, spotless, well-decorated apartment in a great location with roof terraces (plural!) with amazing views. Ludovica was the perfect host- very responsive and helpful and the apartment guide was a very thoughtful and useful addition. Gallipoli is also a great place to stay when exploring Puglia, with lovely local beaches, good restaurants, activities and other towns in easy distance. Thank you Ludovica!

Apartment by the sea+ panoramic view +parking
Grazie Mille Marcello, Claudio è Luca. The apartment is beautiful, so well equipped and the view was wonderful. We appreciate that you were all so helpful to us. We highly recommend your apartment to other visitors. Ivana

Terrazza Doxi Fontana
Terrazza Doxi Fontana is a beautiful apartment with large terrace & amazing views from inside and out. The 3 en-suite bedrooms are very similar making sharing fair for everyone. There are lots of stairs to access the apartment so not suitable for people with mobility issues. Once inside it’s on one level and has a good layout. A great place to chill out. No parking available close by at the port so we had to offload luggage and wait with it whilst someone else parked much further away. Inconvenient but workable. Gallipoli was a lovely place to visit whilst exploring Puglia.

Maria Beach House - 2min to beach, seaview rooftop
Our experience at Elizabeth's apartment was fantastic from start to finish. Communication with her was seamless; she was always quick to assist and answer any questions we had. Elizabeth went above and beyond, providing detailed instructions for our late check-in and sharing wonderful recommendations for nearby restaurants. The apartment was spotless, and we especially enjoyed the balconies with their stunning views. Located in a peaceful area, the apartment was just a short walk to great dining spots and a charming local beach. Thank you, Elizabeth, for an unforgettable stay – we would love to return!

CasaStradiotti - private terrace - central
Delightful location, in the heart of Gallipoli! Host available and responsive, cozy home with a beautiful terrace. We absolutely recommend it!

Penthouse with terrace facing the sea
The hosts are very accommodating, I found the apartment a bit small, but it was ok for 3 days. The view is amazing :)

Casa Irene
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful penthouse! The views are absolutely stunning. You can see the sea from every angle, and the sunsets were truly unforgettable. The area is peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk from the historic city center. Communication with the host was smooth and easy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!
