We had an excellent few days at Gianfranco's place. The location is amazing: just off the cathedral square in the old town, with lovely views over to the beaches. (We recommend getting up early one morning to wander around, when you'll have the old town to yourself). The apartment was great for our family, including a baby and a preschooler, both of whom slept really well with the window shutters acting as black-out blinds. We all really enjoyed the big terrace, even during a couple of dramatic thunderstorms! Otranto is a lovely place, and the beaches are perfect for young children. We had a great time--thank you, Gianfranco!
