Scale Nove - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 6

The ultimate panoramic sea-front apartment in the old town centre of gorgeous Gallipoli!

Arriving at beautifully refurbished Scale Nove, your eyes will be glued to the beautiful surroundings: the picture-perfect baroque buildings of Gallipoli, the beach, the sparkling sea, the boats bobbing in the marina... Such sights will accompany your whole stay because Scale Nove does views like few other apartments we've ever seen!

Inside: Scale Nove is situated on the first floor (and roof!) of a seafront house. Private stairs lead from street level up to the apartment's entrance and into a large open-plan living area with enormously high vaulted ceilings and mesmerising views out to sea.The smooth grey floor and softly coloured walls of this room are continued throughout the apartment, creating a calm, relaxing atmosphere.

A couple of doors lead off one side of the living-dining room: one accesses the large, super-modern steel and marble kitchen (with fabulous sea views), the other accesses a double bedroom with en-suite shower room.

On the other side of the living area, a corridor leads to a sea-view double-twin bedroom with bathroom with tub and rainfall shower opposite, stairs leading to a mezzanine study with sofa bed, a shower room, and a double bedroom with more fabulous sea views and a private flight of stairs accessing the terrace above! The terrace may also be accessed from the same private staircase that brought you up to the apartment's entrance.

Outside: thanks to its impressive size, its views and its amenities, you may well end up spending most of your holiday on the fabulous terrace. Spread over three distinct levels, there is an outdoor kitchen, a shady al fresco dining area and a panoramic spot for sunbathing...

If you can tear yourself away from all this, or you need a swim to cool down, just cross the road in front of the apartment, head down flight of steps, and you’ll come to a rocky bathing area. Alternatively, about 600m away is the town’s very own sandy beach, La Purita', cited in the Daily Telegraph as one of Italy's best beaches.

And despite your accommodation’s excellent kitchen facilities, you may well find yourself being tempted by Gallipoli's many excellent fish restaurants, several of which are just a few minutes’ stroll away...

The limited traffic area is in effect from 1st April to 30th September now. Depending on the time of year, access to the area may be restricted from either midnight to 11am or from 3am to 10am. There is no private parking at this villa, though public parking is available nearby. Parking at the port is no longer free, and fees vary from €0.50 to €0.80 per hour.

Please note that Scale Nove is on the first floor, up a flight of steps. A second flight of steps leads from the apartment to the roof terrace. The number of steps that must be negotiated to get into and around this property might make it unsuitable for people with mobility problems.

Please note that this villa does not have a pool.
Scale Nove is bang in the centre of lovely old Gallipoli, a historic fortified island town featuring some fabulous architecture, a great fish market, its very own sandy beach and a good choice of excellent restaurants. The delightful baroque town of Lecce is just 40 minutes away, most certainly worth a visit, while the coastline, both north and south of Gallipoli is blessed with some of Italy's loveliest sandy beaches and azure waters.
