We are a family of 5 (3 older children 8-15) and we enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment overlooking the bay of Otranto. The balcony is a great spot to watch all the people below and look across the sea. The apartment is shaded from the sun which is good on hot July afternoons. The location is right in the old town and we walked to the beach each day very easily. There are tourist shops and restaurants all around and supermarkets just a little further, still in walking distance.
We parked our car for free, about 10 minutes walk from the apartment, but it was not needed unless we were going to visit other places. We travelled to Lecce, Galipoli and Leuca (taking the coast road) all of which we loved.
The apartment is in an old building, with high ceilings and has a nice feeling. It is really the location that stands out though and what a view!
