Gianni e Angela
We are Gianni and Angela and together with little Gaia and Chiara we made a dream come true ... from the scent of the sea and the warm colors of the Apulian summer. Antico Gelso is a concentrate of antiquity and typicality with a bit of innovation, the right formula for lovers of nature and culture. Every little detail has been thought of and realized trying to keep intact the typical and historical details of the house such as the cementine flooring and tuff masonry. It is a typical Polignano house from the late 1800s, recently renovated, located in rione Gelso. Through an ancient stone staircase, embellished with a characteristic handrail with a log recovered from the sea, you enter the second floor of the house. Here, you are greeted by a warm living area with all the necessary comforts such as a convenient kitchenette to prepare meals on the fly, air conditioning and a practical sofa bed. On the same floor we find a comfortable bathroom, a storage room equipped with a washing machine and small bedroom with a bunk bed. On the second floor, double bedroom with French bed overlooking private terrace. From here it is possible to have a panoramic tour of the village, and going up on a 'further terrace, you can admire the sea.
