Gallipoli villas, Puglia Holiday rentals - villas & holiday homes to rent In Gallipoli
Gallipoli is a beautiful coastal city looking on to the Ionian sea on the Salentina peninsula in southern Italy. The historic and fortified old town sits on a tiny island connected to the mainland by a 17th century bridge and is laced with narrow cobbled streets lined by pretty boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants. As well as the many Baroque churches and aristocratic palazzi, there is a seafront promenade that hugs the walled city. This is popular place for the evening "passeggiata" before heading to one of the excellent seafood restaurants for some alfresco dining.
Gallipoli is the perfect place to discover and explore Puglia's cuisine which is characterised by garlic, olive oil, tomato sauce and above all aromatic herbs. However, being in Puglia, Gallipoli also offers its visitors the experience of tasting some of the finest wines in Italy - many of which never reach shop shelves as they are for local consumption only! The local grapes are Negroamaro, Primitivo (the same grape as California’s Zinfandel) and Bombino Nero which produce fruity classics such as Salice Salentino and Primitivo.
