About this condo rental

Situated in Galatina, this lovely condo for R 1,780 per night is a great option for your next vacation. EscapetoItaly: The 1 bedroom split level apartment is perfectly located in a 17th century palazzo in the historical heart of beautiful baroque Galatina (otherwise known as the Little Lecce). It featured on Channel 4's A Place in the Sun with Amanda Lamb in 2007 (watch online now on You Tube) and has since been beautifully refurbished by award winning 'Puglia Estates' (also seen on TV). It sleeps 2 to 4 people, is self catering and is a perfect base for exploring the Salentine Peninsular. The property boasts original vaulted ceilings, 2 private roof terraces (spectacular views), a balcony over the cobbled streets, and within just 2 minutes walk are are shops, restaurants, cafes and gelato (ice-cream) shops open all year round! A beautiful non-touristy, thriving and friendly town, stunning local scenery and only a short drive to either the Adriatic or the Ionian Seas make this an ideal location to take it easy and enjoy the dolce vita. There are miles of beaches, acres of olive groves, and gallons of fantastic wine! The apartment has heating/air-con, Blue-ray/DVD/CD, projector, fridge, freezer, dishwasher & washing machine. Additional Information: Why not watch the show featuring the property, right now on You Tube! As with many old properties in Italy, there are lots of steep stone stairs between floors (the ceilings are very high), some low doorways and very high roof terraces with waist high walls. As a result, the apartment may be unsuitable for people of reduced/impaired mobility or young children (under 10). It is the guests' responsibility to ensure the safety of their children. Having said this, the apartment is full of character and original features, and the high terraces afford spectacular views of Galatina and the surrounding area. Smokers are welcome, but we do request that guests only smoke outdoors on one of the two private roof terraces. Welcome Packs: Our apartment manager (Cristiano) lives in Galatina and speaks perfect English. He'll meet you at the property with keys, and can also provide welcome food packs or special requests. Why worry about finding a supermarket on the first morning of your arrival, when you could just wake up and enjoy some real Italian coffee and the wonderful local produce on the roof terrace? How about adding that romantic touch by arriving to a chilled bottle of Prosecco, perfect for your first evening, watching the Italian sun set whilst sat on the top sun terrace. Please contact us for prices and availability. Festivities, Concerts and Markets: During the summer months, Galatina and the surrounding towns host many open air concerts, festivals and fabulous markets. More information can be found on the owner's website (see link below) and on the internet. Try searching for 'feste a Galatina' on Google, and then clicking on 'Translate this page' if necessary. More likely than not however, you'll just wander into the old town square one night and hear wonderful live music or get swept up in a local festival with lights, parades, music and dancing!

Perfect hideaway in Galatina
Perfect hideaway in Galatina
Owners are helpful and informative and the house is in a perfect location in the middle of the old town. Parking not a problem with a permit that was easy to get. Galatina is a charming base to explore Puglia. Although the sun terrace is quite a bonus for the middle of the old town.

A perfect place for a couple (see limitations of the flat) to explore Southern Apulia - Lecce, Otranto, Gallipoli, Leuca etc. There are some reasonable restaurants in walking distance, but also a well equipped kitchen.

My husband and I stayed for five days — much too short! The apartment is beautiful, comfortable and so well-equipped. The location was perfect, too; between 20 and 30 minutes to each coast, and a two-minute walk to excellent pastries, sandwiches, and etc. Jim is a wonderful host, quick with excellent suggestions, We will definitely be back.

Excellent place to live in the south east of Puglia
Excellent place to live in the south east of Puglia
This was an excellent apartment in the south east of Puglia. The apartment is in the old town of Galatina, the location is perfect for wandering around the town. Galatina provides an excellent location for exploring Puglia, including the beaches of both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts. The apartment is exactly as per the photographs. It is on the first and second floors with a roof top terrace, while the steps are steep, they are easier to use than many other Italian apartments., however do require consideration. The apartment is beautifully presented and very comfortable to live in, you could easily stay for any period from one day to months. The kitchen is fully functional. Using a mix of the installed shade cloth, the windows and covers and the air conditioning enables the temperature to be well controlled even on very hot weather. This was a perfect place to stay.
