The apartment is exactly as described and photographed, the bedroom is absolutely beautiful and furnished perfectly. We were slightly worried that the bed was individual antique singles, probably with a zip mattress, actually it's one huge really comfortable double. To Northern European tastes the kitchen is a bit stark but probably works really well in the summer with the terrace just outside set up with a table and 4 chairs. In Oct the sun only hits the terrace mid afternoon for a few hours. It's great to have a parking space in the basement and Luigi And his Father helped us find the place. I think some of the other apartments, while not so grand may have private sun filled terraces.
We arrived on Sunday afternoon to 24 hours of pouring rain and were not able to buy basics such as coffee or milk anywhere in Otranto till the next day which combined with nowhere in the town opening for morning coffee was a bit frustrating. In low season not a lot happens and we struggled to find places to pop out to for a drink in the evening (key side bar was excellent though!) We loved Maglie the nearest town, very stylish in the evening.. It's not mentioned in any guidebook. And Galatina has some jaw dropping churches. In retrospect we should have asked Luigi for local suggestions as he is a very nice chap.
