Flaunting panoramic views of Gallipoli's old town, you can watch the sea sparkle over white-washed rooftops from your private terrace. With vaulted ceilings and vintage tiles everywhere you turn, this charming home perfectly preserves its historic personality – reflecting the quaint streets of Southern Italy below. Wake up in a four-poster bed and see the original frescoes hand-painted on the ceiling above you. Then, wander into the soulful living area where you'll find a Smart TV and Nespresso coffee machine waiting for you – remember, this is where tradition meets modern life. Off the small balcony, ascend two flights of stairs up to the multi-level roof terrace – decorated thoughtfully with cosy cushions and potted plants. Whether it's day or night – sun-soaked or candlelit – this magical spot comes complete with several seating areas, a gazebo-covered dining table, and a plethora of photo opportunities. Set up the barbecue and grill arrosticini before heading into Gallipoli Cathedral, just a few steps away from your front door. Then, pop down to the Beach of Purity or admire the Greek Fountain. Come home and wash off your suncream in the beautiful bathroom or take an outdoor shower on the rooftop instead.

You won't find a basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started
At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area
