Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Once belonging to the caretaker of Gallipoli's nearby convent, this period apartment couldn't be more charming. While its barrel-ceiling spaces are full of character, it's worth noting that this home has its quirks. The second bedroom is on a mezzanine level above the small living room, so privacy is limited, and the kitchen is on the twee side. But for such an unbeatable location, we can let that slide. Explore the old town centre's numerous Baroque churches. Stroll down to the seafront for a customary evening passeggiata. Or simply lose yourself to Gallipoli's winding alleyways, starting outside your door.

Home truths
Parking in Gallipoli can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot.
A cot and high chair can be provided for little ones on request. It’s worth noting the kitchen and living space lead directly out onto the street, so children will need to be supervised.
The second bedroom is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

Think basilicas adorned with rose windows and intricately carved Madonnas, floral columns, and gargoyles galore – all in the pale stone of Puglia. The Basilica di Santa Croce is probably the finest example of Lecce’s architecture gone wild, and sipping a double espresso in the Piazza del Duomo is one of the best ways to...
