The apartment was very clean, spacious and situated close to the beach and the town. It was very light and a pleasant environment. The washing machine proved useful and there were airers for drying. I loved Gioiosa Marea and am very glad to have got to know this place.

Unfortunately, the lack of air conditioning meant that we needed to have the shutters open at night to let the air in. During the food festival the nearby had late night music which kept us awake, along with the sounds of trains. The double bed was hard and uncomfortable so all in all, we did not sleep well, sadly.
