Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
From a rooftop terrace above Gallipoli's old town, the Ionian Sea stretches out in an intense arc of blue – it's the kind of view you'll want to linger over with an espresso each morning. Inside, the vaulted bedroom with its hand-painted floor tiles gives the apartment a quiet sense of place that feels earned rather than decorated. The historic island it sits on is walkable in every direction – the Angevine-Aragonese castle, the fishing port, and the baroque churches are all within easy reach, making this a natural base for immersing yourself in Salento life.

Home truths
While this home doesn’t have a lounge, there are seats in the kitchen and bedroom, and on the roof terrace.
If you're travelling with a little one, your host can provide a cot and high chair. Request them in advance to make sure they're ready on arrival.
The apartment sits on the first floor of a building in the old town. There's no lift, so you must climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
To access the roof terrace, you'll need to climb a narrow external staircase.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

About Puglia
If you’re looking to slow down the pace of life for a few weeks, there are worse places than Puglia. This is Italy at its most Italian, with year-round good weather (though it can get hot in the summer) and an estimated 60 million olive trees. That’s a lot of groves to wander through. Puglia’s also famous for its Trulli houses. The conical stone roofs of these huts are synonymous...
