Staying in Cottage Donna Pina was a wonderful chance to experience living in a quiet lane in the historic centre of an old Italian town. As other reviewers have highlighted, the location is superb; quiet but only 2 mins walk to all the major historic sights of Otranto. In 5 minutes, you can be on the magnificent lungomare/ sea front with its many restaurants and cafes or you can be at the very attractive town beach. The cottage is modest with many much -appreciated homely touches and it is spotlessly clean. Because parking in the Old Town is restricted, Livia met us in a car park on the edge of the Old Town. She then ferried us and our luggage to the cottage, finally driving through an impossibly narrow alleyway. She gave us a parking permit card for our 5 day stay which allowed us to park on certain streets at certain times. In short, Livia could not have been more accommodating and welcoming. Grazie, gentillissima Livia!
