Ceglie Messapica is a lovely not too touristy little town and Dimora Kailia is perfectly located close to the old city centre so you can enjoy the evening walks but you still don't have problems with parking at the apartment any time of the day. And it's almost the same distance to the Adriatic sea and the Gulf of Tarent. You live in a quiet inland town and can go to a different beach every and they are all fabulous.

The combined water heating and heating system may need some tuning. We had the A/C on for the night (mid September was still warm for us) and the heating switched on as well.

The host is super nice and friendly, which is always helpful.

The bed sheets seem to have seen better days. The shower is too tight. Also there's a water pump that turns on and off constantly and gets a bit annoying. However it can be turned off at night.
