Apulia Suite\Rooftop Terrace & Direct Beach Access
The apartment is modern, spacious and chic. 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. There are numerous shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. 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 at the reception, and on the last day a bottle of olive oil as a surprise. Everything has been thought of in the apartment, even beach loungers. The WiFi works well, and the car can be parked in the yard. It was a very relaxed week.

CASA STEFANIA 1 Holidays near the sea!
This was a lovely experience. Maria Cristina is a very responsive host. She met us at the place and showed us around, providing suggestions of places to go and things to see. The place is a 4 minute walk to a wonderful public beach, where we swam every morning and evening. The town is filled with charming restaurants and bakeries. Itâs a great location and a wonderful town with a lovely host.

Manzara Otranto
One of the best value for money! Very nice apartment! Great location close to restaurants and only 5min walk from the historic center. 3 real bedrooms with two very nice bathrooms. Everything is there! Well decorated, well equipped, the view is simply magnificent. What a pleasure to get up with this view.. the place at this time was very quiet. Everything is available, hotel service! Parking is true plus. Giulia's daddy welcomed us and even waited for us with the delay on the road. He introduced us to the space and told us about the surrounding activities. We recommend +++ and will be back for sure! Thank you Giulia, you are a great host!

Holiday home just steps from the sea and downtown
We were perfectly welcomed in English, the apartment was very clean, the mattresses comfortable, close to great beaches and to the center - everything for kitchen and bathroom available, also coffee, wine, drinking water, etc. - Thank you for the beautiful stay to the whole family

Apartment 20 metres from the beach and the centre
Centrally located. Easy walk to beach. Enjoyed our stay in Otranto.

Casa relax vista mare
Amazing Place: Very clean with all the little things you need for an extended stay. Beautiful views from the terrace. We used it as a hub to. Visit the beaches of the area. A perfect stay!

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

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 didnât work unfortunately, switching it on made the electricity go off. WiFi does not work well inside the house but on the terrace, but we didnât 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!

Fantastic mediterranean style house -Al Ficodindia
There were two of us staying at the place for six nights and more than satisfied. May is before the season, so we were alone in the entire street. The terrace is a dream, but visible to the neighbors. Because we were alone, this was nothing difficult. We highly recommend the apartment, Fernando was a great host and was always easily accessible and friendly!

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 Airbnbâs 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)âŚ. 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!!!

The Lookout
The house is really very spacious and the location close to many places of interest in Salento makes it excellent for those who want a little peace and quiet for their holidays and allows them to visit all of Salento in a short time. Camilla has always been available and clear for all our doubts. Highly recommended

In the heart of Otranto
Great apartment and in a superb location minutes from the centre of Otranto. Free parking pass was very useful - always found a place within a few roads from the apartment. Giuseppe was always very helpful, friendly and quick to respond. I would definitely recommend the apartment.

"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 well. We'll be back!

"Il corallo azzurro" with private parking
We just finished an amazing stay at Giulianaâs home. The view of the Adriatic was simply spectacular. When we arrived, she greeted us with traditional Puglian bakery treats and a bottle of Prosecco. Delicious! The fridge was stocked with fresh fruit and juices. There were a couple of nice restaurants close by which can be reached by walking along a paved path overlooking the Sea. We fully recommend this beautiful place.

Residence Mare Azzurro 3 - Ground Floor - Sea View
Thank you Pasquale and Paolo for the welcome and the stay. Everything was perfect! The apartment already looked nice in photos but it was even better in real life. The decor, the shower, and the kitchen had been redone. They had planned everything necessary for our stay with our baby: changing table, baby bath, high chair, folding bed, blender for puree, stroller and even a parasol and 2 folding chairs (which allowed us to discover the sandy beach, 5 min walk from the apartment). Parking in the garden, sea view, fully equipped kitchen. Washing machine and coffee machine with pods as well. Everything was very well thought out for us to have a good vacation. They even provided a map and recommended many nice places. The apartment was also very clean. We will be happy to come back for our next stay and 100% recommend their accommodation

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 itâs 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.

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!

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 â we would love to return!

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!

B&B da Pina - Apartment 300m from the sea!
Antonio is a perfect hood! The apartment is very well equipped, there is everything you need: coffee, water, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, lots of fruit in the fridge and lots of other touches like a bottle of rosĂŠ. âşď¸ This welcome made us forget our 6-hour drive! The environment is quiet, close to Port Badisco where there is a bar, the Skafè, on the edge of the cliff, absolutely cool! The beaches, one of which is 10 minutes' walk away, are superb. In short, everything was perfect and we would be delighted if all Airbnb's could be like Antonio's. We highly recommend it! Thank you for everything Antonio đ¤Š

Salento/S.Cesarea: private sea access apartment
Loved my experience here. Beautiful location. People are friendly in the building and surrounding area. Giovanni is warm and communicative. There was coffee and other necessities to cook. I hope to make it back there one day. Thank you Giovanni.
