Once part of a noble palace, Casa di Giò harmonises original splendour with a light & airy touch. Traces of the terrace arches (now the bedroom), vaulted ceilings, and authentic floor tiling. A 17th century palazzo, we’re the first to utilise the rooftop terrace, bestowing panoramic views of Parabita's historical centre. A stone's throw from the town square, it's easy to immerse yourself in the best of Salento here.

The space
Casa di Giò is a bright and airy one-bedroom apartment with an open-plan layout, offering the possibility to accommodate up to 2 additional guests (on the comfortable double sofa bed in the lounge). The kitchen, dining area, and lounge are open plan, and an antechamber with a balcony leads to the bedroom. There is one full bathroom (with shower, toilet, bidet, and basin in the bedroom ensuite) and an additional half bathroom with a toilet located off the antechamber, allowing extra access without disturbing other guests at night.

Entering the building through the courtyard below, the staircase in front leads to the patio and the entrance of the apartment. Inside, a floating chandelier with about 100 lights welcomes you to a typical 1500s apartment, restored with style and comfort in mind. Original floors, layout, and additional local materials offer an authentic taste of Salento.

There are three shared areas on the property:
- The main courtyard below (with the main entrance)
- The patio on the first floor, which also serves as access for the neighbors next door, although they rarely use it because their main access is elsewhere.
- The stairs leading to the rooftop terrace are shared, but the neighbors do not use their terrace. In fact, Casa di Giò has the only furnished terrace.

You have exclusive use of Casa di Giò in all other areas.

There is a patio straight off the kitchen/lounge where you will find a table and chairs for your dinners, breakfast, etc. Through a narrow staircase off the patio, you can reach the rooftop terrace, which features views of the old town, a sink, a shower, and seating areas. The staircase is quite narrow, but it's worth the climb for the view alone. On a clear day, you can also see the sea, and at night, you won't be disappointed by the view of the starry sky!

Guest access
Guests have exclusive access to the apartment & rooftop terrace.

Other things to note
Being in the historical center of an old Italian village, you’ll find that the neighboring houses are quite close to yours, and the main church and square are just a short walk away. Rest assured, the locals are incredibly friendly, and don’t hesitate to offer them a smile—it will make their day, and they’ll be delighted to see you appreciating their town.

We recommend to our guests to immerse themselves in the rhythms of this charming village, with its flavours, smells, sounds, and colours.

Before you arrive, we'll give you a PDF with helpful information about the area and its attractions.

Neighbourhood highlights

Literally 2 mins walk from the vibrant town square! There are often bands playing in the square and you can dine outside in the square in one of the open-air restaurants. Plus there are 2 bars, one completely open-air and the other offering a very nice aperitivo under their portico! Very lively in Summer, and more relaxed from September.
