About this property

Luxurious holiday home rental in historical old town apartment, Puglia

From one of the owners who appeared on Channel 4's A Place in the Sun with Amanda Lamb in 2007, after 2 years living and working in the area this painstakingly restored beautiful 1 bedroom apartment was completed in conjunction with local renowned architect and designers. With hand-restored stone vaulted 18ft ceilings and stand out features such as a stone fireplace, claw feet roll top bath, you'll notice the amount of effort and work used to bring this characterful property back to life. It sleeps 2 to 4 people, and is a perfect base for exploring the many sites the Salentine Peninsular has on offer. Stunning local scenery and only a short drive to local beaches and award winning fish restaurants 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 air-con, CD/Radio player, fridge, freezer, washing machine and all the kitchen equipment needed for a relaxing stay.

Additional Information:: Paul is the co-owner of property number 89993, a very successful rental property bought after appearing on A Place In The Sun in 2007. Equally as stunning and with tons of character and features, I restored this apartment by hand over two (long!) years so that it could be offered to holidaymakers who unfortunately haven't been able to book the other apartment due to high demand. If you would like any of the history of the renovation, any helpful tips or advice on the process, or just a chat about the area we are always open to questions.

As always, I try to offer the highest possible service and hope you experience the real Puglia while relaxing and taking time out.




Welcome Packs and Meet & Greet:: Francesco, Adriana and son Patrick are my neighbours who will meet you with the keys and ensure you have a pleasant holiday. Between them they cover Italian, German, French and English, so you should be in good hands, and being local they'll be able to give you the best advice for local restaurants and places to visit. Of course if you prefer a relaxing time away from it all they can leave you in peace and only be on hand as and when you need it.

Being next door, they can 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. How about adding that romantic touch by arriving to a chilled bottle of Prosecco or maybe some flowers, perfect for your first evening, or special occasion. Please contact us for prices and availability.

Festivities, Concerts and Markets: During the summer months, Galatone and the surrounding towns host many open air concerts, festivals and fabulous markets. More information can be found on the internet, try searching for 'feste a Galatone' 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! Feel free to ask us if anything special is happening when you plan to stay at the apartment.

Wonderful apartment, town and locals were beyond expectations
Our 4 night stay in Galatone was not enough for us. After staying in central Puglia for 10 days we venture down to salento for the remainder of our holiday. The apartment was beautiful and Cristina the property manager was just the most loveliest lady, so kind and helpful and became our friend who we will keep intouch with. Also made friends with the Butchers at the Marcelleria Andrea and the locals old boys playing Briscola outside the cafe. We went to Lecce from Galatone which was only 30 minutea away as well as cave of poetry. The lovely beaches of Porto Cesareo and Punto Prociutto both with swimming pool sea and so clear too it kind of lives up to the name of the beaches called the Maldives of Salento. The apartment was steps away from the historical centre of Galatone with restaurants bars and piazzas walking distance....This stay has encouraged me and my family to buy an property in Puglia and maybe in historical Galatone as i want to keep my roots footed in Italy for my families future and heritage. So Paul any help and advice to me would be grateful when i ask you :o) perfect end in Salento. Would recommend this lovely place to anyone.

Vacanza in Galatone/Puglia 2023
Devo dire sopra ogni aspettativa, appartamento pulito, spazioso anche fresco nonostante il caldo (non abbiamo avuto la necessita' di accendere il condizionatore). Cristina poi e' stata molto accogliente, premurosa , gentile e disponibile. La Puglia ha posti veramente molto belli da vedere e la gente e' molto ospitale. Ci stiamo pensando per il prossimo anno.

Tranquillità in un Salento meraviglioso
la casa è dotata di tutti i comfort, non manca nulla, in un paese tranquillo dove hai tutto qulo che ti serve. Il signor Francesco che segue gli ospiti è disponibile al 100 per cento e viene incontro a qualsiasi richiesta. Grazie davvero per l'ospitalità

Alloggio molto carino e ben tenuto, con tutto il necessario.
L'appartamento è molto carino, silenzioso, pulizia impeccabile e dotato di tutto il necessario per il soggiorno. Francesco è una persona stupenda che non ci ha fatto mancare nulla, dalla frutta e altri generi alimentari al nostro arrivo, ai consigli su come e dove andare per visitare questa parte bellissima della Puglia. Mancava solo il televisore ma a dir la verità ci sarebbe servito a poco.
