We had a great week at Rino's place; it's located about a 15 minute walk from the centre of Otranto so a nice distance to stroll in for dinner of an evening. Being a basement apartment the place keeps cool during the day which was very welcome, and it's about a 5 minute (cross country) walk to a local beach which was perfect for snorkeling. The best bit about this apartment though is the garden... We spent several lazy afternoons under the shade of the lemon trees reading in the deckchairs escaping from the heat of the midday sun! Rino and Francesca were lovely hosts, giving us plenty of tips on where to go /eat and even leaving us a bowl of fresh apricots from their garden!
