A FUNTANARIA
An authentic retreat in the historic heart of Gallipoli
Seamless Indoor and Outdoor Living on One Level
All the spaces, including the private terrace, are located on a single level — a rare and precious detail in Gallipoli’s historic center. The apartment is on the first floor and is accessed via one flight of stairs, but once inside, everything is conveniently on the same level, with no steps or ramps.
History and Tradition in Every Detail
From the high vaulted ceilings to the original wall colors, every element has been carefully restored to preserve the authentic soul of this historic building.
The Perfect Home for Families
With spacious, practical rooms and no internal barriers, A Funtanaria is ideal for families with children looking to enjoy Gallipoli in total comfort, surrounded by history and modern convenience.
A hidden gem in the heart of Gallipoli
Tucked away in the historic center of Gallipoli, among ancient alleys and sea views, lies A Funtanaria — a charming period apartment where history, comfort, and unique details come together.
The moment you step inside, you’ll feel suspended in time: the quiet streets, the honey-colored façades glowing in the warm light, the scent of the nearby sea. Everything invites you to slow down and savour the city with ease.
The real surprise? A large private terrace, directly connected to the house, where you can dine, read, and relax — all without stairs inside the apartment. The property is accessed by one flight of stairs, but once inside, the terrace and all living spaces are on a single, convenient level. A rare luxury in Gallipoli’s old town, where most terraces are located on rooftops, far from the kitchen and living areas.
Everything on one level, with a private entrance
A Funtanaria occupies the entire first floor of a charming historic building, with a private entrance leading directly to the terrace.
The entrance is accessible via one short flight of stairs. From there, all rooms — including the terrace — are arranged on the same level, making it ideal for couples, families, or anyone looking to move around with ease.
Interiors filled with space, light, and authenticity
The apartment welcomes guests with generous spaces and finishes that celebrate Salento’s architectural heritage: high vaulted ceilings, terracotta accents, and beautifully restored original wall colors.
A bright entrance hall connects the kitchen, bedroom, and living area, creating a functional yet harmonious flow.
The kitchen is spacious, fully equipped, and decorated with traditional ceramic plates and a typical Puglian pantry.
The living room can be left open or closed off with a sliding door, offering a comfortable double sofa bed that transforms the space into a second bedroom.
The master bedroom is large and peaceful, with dual aspect windows for natural light and ventilation. The high stone ceilings keep the space cool, even on hot summer days. A small writing desk provides the perfect spot to read or work in total tranquility.
From here, a charming area furnished with an armchair and table leads directly to the terrace — just a few steps and you’re outside, soaking up the sun, sea breeze, and quiet atmosphere.
The bathroom features a large shower with side jets, cleverly integrated into a former kitchen hearth: the original stone hood remains in place, adding character and authenticity to the space.
The terrace: rare outdoor living, all on one level
The beating heart of the house is the private terrace — spacious, practical, and designed for outdoor living.
Here you’ll find a large table with chairs, perfect for enjoying meals al fresco without tackling extra stairs once you’re inside. While the apartment is reached by one external flight of stairs, everything — from the kitchen to the bedroom to the terrace — is located on the same level, for maximum convenience.
At the center of the terrace stands the iconic yellow terracotta fountain, from which the house takes its name. Its warm tones echo the golden hues of Gallipoli’s historic buildings, creating a poetic and visual connection to the city.
A cozy reading corner with an armchair and table completes the space — perfect for relaxing with a coffee and a good book
A home that welcomes and enchants
A Funtanaria is the perfect choice for those who want to experience Gallipoli slowly and authentically, without sacrificing comfort.
Whether you’re a couple seeking privacy and charm, a small family with children, or a curious traveler in search of character, you’ll find a welcoming, elegant space that blends seamlessly into the magic of the historic center.

Preserving the authentic soul of a historic home while offering modern comforts, this apartment is perfect for a relaxing, convenient, and unforgettable stay.
