"I was unsure about 19 Summer Suites as it had mixed reviews. Well we stayed with our booking and had the most fabulous holiday. The staff were very welcoming although communication was a struggle, it's mainly Italians holidaying here which we loved, but we got by. We are a family of 5, stayed mid August. We had a 2 bedroom apartment and paid extra for the sea view. The accommodation was basic as expected and it does need some tweaks! The wardrobes were in the kitchen/lounge using our suitcases for storage in the bedrooms, the wardrobes should be in the bedrooms making room for another sofa. Only one mirror in the bathroom, we have teenage girls so this was a battle when getting ready! No hooks in bedrooms for hanging towels although there is a large airer on the balcony. Occasionally we ran out of hot water as each apartment has it's own tank, my girls have long hair so showering takes time! The kitchen utensils were sparse! We had no cooking utensils, staff located us some, we only ate in one night. And only 2 coffee cups!
However, breakfast was amazing, fresh coffee made at the bar as much as you can drink, food was freshly replenished almost immediately. The shuttle bus to the beach/pool is timetabled. We're walkers and walked in 36° heat, 8 minutes at the most. The pool is a private beach club with plenty of beds. The town is 20 minutes walk away, very quaint plenty of bars/restaurants.
Hired a car, drove to Lecce 40 mins, Alberbello 2hrs, airport 1.5h.€140 arrival."
