In the very heart of Gallipoli’s historic centre, this apartment embraces the ancient and feels like a piece of history itself. The walled old town of Gallipoli juts out from Italy’s heel into the azure Adriatic where fishermen fix their nets and Italians flock here in summer for the sultry southern heat. This apartment sits in the narrow streets, where family-run restaurants have been serving fresh seafood for centuries and chi chi little cafés have cropped up in between ancient churches. French doors open straight from the narrow street into the living area, which still retains ancient stone archways and barrel-vault ceilings. A design palette of bright white and honey-brown matches the historic touches of this apartment and slipping off to sleep in the boho-chic bedroom is a delight. The kitchenette may not have an oven, but there’s enough here to accommodate breakfast, quick meals and morning espressos. Besides, the charming restaurants of the old city are on your doorstep, so who wants to bother cooking anyway?

About Lecce
Lecce’s famous baroque architecture is what sets it apart from its fellow sun-soaked Puglian cities. 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...
