We had a great time at Alessandra's flat in Otranto. The flat is very modern, comfortable, spacious and offers full privacy as it has its own entrance from the street and a small terrace. Everything was very clean and made us feel right at home. The location is perfect - about a three minute walk to the seaside and about the same to all the restaurants and sightseeing highlights of the historical centre. It was great to have a separate kitchen and living room from the bedroom, we had a lot of space and were able to cook our own food. Alessandra was very helpful - she was there right upon arrival, gave us a permit card so that we could park our car right in front of the house and checked several times that we had everything we needed during our stay. There were even snacks and drinks in the fridge for us as a welcome from Alesandra!
Otranto is a beautiful small town perfect for a summer vacation - small enough to be peaceful and have easy access to the sea and beaches, which are absolutely gorgeous, yet it has a beautiful historical centre with a great terrace walk over the sea and a castle, many cafes, restaurants and gelaterias to keep you busy when you want to. Also, the nature around is amazing and great for short trips - especially the drive to Santa Maria di Leuca along the coastline is stunning. We couldn't have chosen a better place for our holiday.
