Hi,
We're planning a Puglia trip at the end of May - early June.
I had settled on the bases of Lecce, Monopoli and Bari.
But Lecce and Monopoli seem to be pricing me out at 300 euros + for some nice large rooms.
We do have some of our own constraints:
decent size double, only 1 set of stairs max, or an elevator, safe parking somewhere pretty close, and 5-10" walking to the old town, plus several restaurant choices very walkably nearby. Those our our main wishes. Terrace and refrigerator are nice to haves.
Do you have any recommendations in these towns?
s
Or, more likely, what nearby towns should I look at next? Near Monopoli (3 nights) perhaps Ceglie Messapica, Fasano, Cisternino, Martina Franca?
Near Lecce (4 nights to see the area) ... Nardo, Galatina, Santa Maria al Bagno, Gallipoli?
