Sitting on the west coast of Italy's heel, this authentic home rests in the heart of a sleepy, historical town. Gallipoli is an oasis of calm, a relaxed vibe emanating from the colourful streets and dreamy piazzas. Wander through the harbour and feel any worries melt away underneath the gentle warmth of the sun.

Despite its welcoming atmosphere and charming energy, Gallipoli has remained under the tourism radar. Even in the height of summer, the streets maintain an unashamedly Italian feel, perfect for immersing yourself into the culture.

Spend a carefree afternoon at the glistening beach or venture inland to sample the various food options. Pasta, pizza and seafood comprise the menus, topped off by some creamy gelato and tiramisu.

If you'd prefer a restful night in, your tranquil abode is an idyllic setting. Lounge on the sofas with a film, host dinner on the twelve-seater table or retire to the privacy of your balcony. When sun sets on the warm tones and radiant buildings, the balcony is the perfect place to bask in the serenity.




Home truths:
*The nearest beach is a 5 minutes walk away

*The host doesn't allow youth groups to book the property
*There's no free parking here, you'll need to use on-street paid parking or nearest car parks.
