Adriana and Gianfranco met us at the apartment and helped carry our heavy bags up the stairs. The apartment is very light and airy with a beautiful view and of course the terrace/balcony is a perfect place to sit in the sun and enjoy the view or watch the people below. Everything was very clean and tidy and Adriana was very helpful with the washing machine as we had been travelling for a few weeks and needed to wash our clothes. There is a hidden balcony for air drying your clothes which is better than using a dryer or hanging clothes all over the place inside. Adriana & Gianfranco gave us a few suggestions for dinner and the 2 places we went to were both fantastic. Also a recommendation for a scuba dive which was much enjoyed. The apartment is just outside the old town and a short nice stroll to either the old town or along the beachfront. There is no wifi in the apartment but there is a cafe/bar just downstairs with free wifi which was great for breakfast too. There is a private place to park your car which is about a 3 minute walk from the apartment - although Leo the dog looks like he would eat you for dinner, he is a big softie who enjoys a head rub. We enjoyed staying in Otranto and exploring the stiletto of Italy from here, Gallipoli is very nice for a day trip. Adriana was able to respond quickly via email to any queries we had and as Adriana speaks excellent English, this was also a bonus for us Aussies who try but do not speak much Italian.
